My upcoming novel, The Lady Rules the Capital, is open for advance follows. Please add it to your collection~
Blurb:
Everyone knew that Sixth Prince Xiao Ke was ruthless and decisive, a man of extraordinary means who had never shown anyone the slightest warmth.
In the first half of his life, Xiao Ke believed in the saying, "Once the move is made, there's no taking it back." He made court intrigues and the pursuit of power his life's ambition.
Women were nothing more than a pastime to him.
Then came word that the Sixth Prince's Consort, who had spent every day waiting for his return, had died. Xiao Ke rode two horses to death, yet still failed to see Shen Roujia one last time.
He was also caught in a trap along the way, and paid for it with his life.
Only as he lay dying did he learn how to write the word "regret."
In his new life, an imperial decree betrothed her to him once again.
But Xiao Ke felt more conflicted than ever.
At times, he wanted her to find a better husband and live in peace and happiness.
But sometimes, all he wanted was to hold that sweet, gentle woman tightly in his arms and never let go, not even for a moment.
For once, Xiao Ke couldn't decide what to do.
*
One day after their wedding, Xiao Ke paced outside their bedroom, hesitating over whether to go in.
He didn't know that the woman inside had already opened the door.
There stood his usually gentle and gracious consort, dressed in her nightclothes, tears in her eyes as she asked him:
"My lord, why won't you come back to our room? Have you grown tired of me?"
Xiao Ke froze, then finally stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
Much later, he whispered in her ear:
"How could I grow tired of you? I'd give you my very life."
PS: This is a slow-burn story set in an alternate world.
Is the eldest son the heir apparent???? Isn't this wrong?
If the male protagonist knew what the female protagonist was thinking, he would be furious
Are you thinking too much? Still staring at a hole
The plot is a bit too slow. I always thought the male protagonist would be twenty years old, but he turned out to be sixteen or seventeen.
He kind of wants to pick up with you, but he doesn't know it yet (whispering)
The updates are too slow, maybe three chapters a week?
Finally there is a scene between the male and female protagonists
Finally, there will be another scene with a rival!
Come on, when will there be a scene between the male and female protagonists?
Can't read the last two chapters? I've ordered it all
