The Sparrow in His Palm

My new novel, "The Minister Beneath the Flowers," is currently updating. Synopsis: Xu Sui'an, commander of the Imperial Guard, has always been impartial and merciless with his blade. Except with her. For her, he bows his head in submission. Blurb: Xu Miaoyan was born into a distinguished family. As an illegitimate daughter, she was forced to live under other people's roof. When she was finally brought back to the family home, she thought her hardships were over. But a coup suddenly struck, the Xu family was wiped out, and Xu Miaoyan became the daughter of a convicted traitor, sentenced to serve as a government slave. Her brother-in-law, Xie Yi, had once been a nobody. In the blink of an eye, he became the long-lost son of the eldest princess, and his career and fortune soared overnight. Five years later, Xu Miaoyan returns to Xie Yi's side, now wielding great power, having taken on her legitimate elder sister's identity. She exhausts every scheme, all to use his hand to avenge her family. Xie Yi quietly watches her use up every trick, waiting until her flaws are laid bare and she has nowhere left to turn. In the end, he only looks at her with a cold smile. "Tell me, how else are you planning to manipulate me?" P.S. This story is entirely fictional. The male lead has always loved the female lead herself. His feelings have nothing to do with her sister. He's a career-minded, unsentimental straight man. The female lead pretends to be an innocent little rabbit, but she's no pushover. She's clever and loyal to those she loves. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, but I did my best. Thank you to everyone who likes this story. You're all my loveliest angels. I wish you beauty, health, riches, happiness with your families, and joy forever. Completed novels: "Keep That Treacherous Minister in Your Sights" and "The Eunuch's Concubine" Other works on standby... Theme: Fear no hardship. Face it head-on.
