The Wicked Cousin Lost Her Memory

The main story is complete. My next novel will be Hibiscus in Spring.

-

Qingqing used every disreputable trick in the book before she finally married Xie Duo, who was so handsome he seemed to come from another world.

After two years of marriage, she had a fearsome reputation:

Her younger brother-in-law wouldn't apply himself? Cut off his allowance and send him away to gain experience. He wasn't allowed back for at least three to five years.

Her younger sister-in-law was too willful? Withhold her dowry until she learned to behave, then arrange a marriage for her.

Her concubines were causing trouble? Dock their pay, lock them up to copy scriptures and pray, and confiscate their little skirts!

Everyone was waiting for Xie Duo to divorce Qingqing.

But the day before they were about to divorce, Qingqing lost her memory.

-

Looking at the sweet, adorable, kind, and even somewhat timid Qingqing before him, who was about to be cast aside by Xie Duo and driven from the Xie family,

her younger brother-in-law, now a prominent businessman, regretted everything. "Sister-in-law, I'll expand my business and make money to support you!"

Her younger sister-in-law, now the top female scholar, wept bitterly. "Sister-in-law, I'll save money by keeping house and support you!"

The concubines, now her devoted fans, were heartbroken. "Big Sister, I'll sell little skirts to raise money for you!"

Qingqing: "???" Who are you people?

*

When Xie Duo was young, he accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by a little girl.

Afraid he would be cold and afraid he would die, the girl held him tightly and called his name, telling him not to close his eyes.

Many years passed, but he never forgot the sound of her voice.

When she cried softly to him, his heart melted.

He searched and searched, but never found her.

Until one day, Qingqing, having lost her memory, hid under the covers and asked him shyly, "Cousin, h-how can you come into my room?"

Only then did Xie Duo realize that the treasure he'd been searching for all these years had been in his arms all along.

-

Maybe he was born a bad person.

Otherwise, why would he love teasing Qingqing, love seeing her cheeks flush, and love hearing her soft, tearful voice...

A sweet, stingy, timid heroine x a cold-faced, secretly flirtatious, jealous male lead

1. A committed one-on-one romance; each is the other's first love.

The concubines were sent by the rival household and aren't real concubines. There's no romance between them and the male lead; they're as close as sisters with the heroine.

2. Everyone dotes on the heroine. Set in a fictional world.

My friend's new novel, Soft Jade Fragrance, by Yao Jin Da Mei Ren

Advance preview: Hibiscus in Spring. Click on my profile to find it~

Blurb:

Yiyi is a little blind girl who grew up in a mountain temple. With smoky eyes, a slender waist, and an alluring beauty, she draws countless unsavory intentions despite wearing a loose, ragged, dark-blue robe.

The day the temple can no longer protect her, her master seeks out an old friend, hoping to find her a powerful patron.

By a twist of fate, the little Taoist nun is stuffed into a soft sedan chair and sent to bring good fortune to the deposed Crown Prince, who has been poisoned and has little time left to live.

Everyone thinks Yiyi is gentle and easy to bully, and that she'll be tortured to death before long!

But then

The poison the imperial physicians can't treat is cured by Yiyi with a single dose.

The impoverished scholar she casually advises on the street soon becomes the top-ranked candidate in the imperial exams.

A "natural disaster" that has troubled people for years is easily solved with a divination...

Her patron doesn't just spare her from torment. He takes up his blade again for her, rises to power, and makes all the wicked forces in the land bow before her!

The aloof and heartless Chu Juannian fell from grace and married a prim, boring little Taoist nun.

The little Taoist nun doesn't drink, kill, lie, or long for the mortal world...

She always spouts religious rules, saying this isn't allowed and that is forbidden.

And yet, the more proper she acts, the more Chu Juannian wants to tear away her disciplined exterior and draw out the passion growing within her.

He wants to corrupt her, to have her sink with him into the endless hell of blades and swords, where they can fall into depravity and stay together forever!

Later, after Chu Juannian ascends the throne, he clings to her on the imperial throne, demanding a congratulatory gift.

The little blind girl is honest and shakes her head, saying she hasn't prepared anything.

Chu Juannian is uncharacteristically subtle. He takes her hand and slowly writes in her palm: "Spring light on the hibiscus, grant me bliss."

Yiyi's eyes widen in shock, and she frantically refuses. "Boundless Heavenly Venerable. I dare not commit murder, much less regicide."

Chu Juannian: "..." What spring light? She's clueless, wooden, and completely misses the point!

#She is the moon and stars of this world, and only I can defile her.#
