The Goddess Above

My upcoming novel, The Princess Consort Doesn't Do Her Hair, will start at the end of August. If you're interested, please add it to your collection.

The goddess Yuyao Shengjun had been wise and mighty for countless millennia, yet in recent years she had fallen into the hands of a little fox.

The little fox wore flowing white robes and kept a fan at his waist. At home, he could brew wine and cook; out in the world, he could command armies and wage war.

If he had one shortcoming, it was that this nine-tailed fox was much too young. Yuyao was over two thousand years older than his grandfather. It wouldn't do to lay a hand on him, much less kiss him.

Well, they were both immortal and indestructible, so she could wait until he grew up a little!

For thirty thousand years as her subject and disciple, what he wanted most was to be her husband.

All these years as his ruler and teacher, she had actually been waiting for him to grow up.

To grow up enough to marry her!

Blurb for The Princess Consort Doesn't Do Her Hair

Du Ruo married into Prince Xin's household, yet she wore no ornament between her brows and did not put up her long hair, still dressing like a young girl. A married woman dressing like a maiden went against the Du family's century-old customs and showed no regard for the royal family's dignity.

Yet just as the gossip began to spread, it was quickly silenced.

Wei Xun said, “It's simply because I love Ah Heng's fresh-faced beauty and hair flowing down to her waist.”

Hearing this, Du Ruo's gaze grew even colder.

She had not forgotten.

In her previous life, during the three years of their marriage, he first kept watch over Ling Lan, who had become the emperor's consort, and never spared Du Ruo a glance. Later, to save his older sister, Princess Liyang, he had Ling Lan steal the military seal and led an army in rebellion against the capital.

In the end, the princess was unharmed, the emperor's consort remained by his side, and Wei Xun was ennobled and made a high-ranking official in another country.

Only she was left alone, imprisoned in Prince Xin's household under the name of his princess consort. Her maternal family, the entire Du clan, was wiped out because of her. After four years of being used as bait and held hostage, she died in despair and fear.

Reborn the day after her wedding, Du Ruo could think of only two words: “Divorce!”

But when she saw Wei Xun in this life, she didn't even mention divorce. She plunged a knife straight into his chest.

[The Pursuit of His Wife]

At first, Wei Xun took a jade comb from the nanny and tried to arrange her hair. A lock of her hair fell into his hand, only for Du Ruo to snip it off with scissors.

He looked at the severed lock in his hand, then said after a moment, “Then don't do your hair. You look just as lovely.”

Later, Wei Xun was ambushed and drugged with an aphrodisiac. His subordinates came to fetch Du Ruo. Remembering the new woman the emperor had just bestowed on him, Du Ruo raised a hand and ordered them to send her instead.

Wei Xun's eyes were bloodshot, but he could only resign himself to saying, “Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but there's no need.”

Later still, Wei Xun led troops into battle. At the height of the fighting, at the brink of life and death, he finally received a rare visit from Du Ruo. But she had come only to deliver divorce papers.

Wei Xun: I missed my chance once, and somehow I missed two lifetimes.

Du Ruo: No. Lifetimes upon lifetimes.
