Evernight Marquis

My other novel, Wang Sui, is now available. If you’re interested, feel free to add it to your collection!

Ning Zhi thought she was born to live carefully within the walls of the palace, protecting her younger brother until the day she came of age, when she would marry a man she barely knew and spend the rest of her life in another secluded courtyard.

Then one day, she woke up to find herself in someone else’s body, living a life completely different from the one she had known.

Only then did she realize that life could be so complete when lived another way.

Wen Ting grew up in a loving family, doted on since childhood. Even after bandits ransacked her home, leaving her destitute and forcing her to live in a brothel, her maid Yunduan continued to care for her devotedly. She thought all family members were like that, supporting and helping one another.

Then one day, she lost her footing and fell into a lake. When she woke up, she found herself in someone else’s body, living a life completely different from the one she had known.

Only then did she realize that the people who hurt you most are often those closest to you.

Blurb for Wang Sui (Both Reborn):

Three years after her younger brother ascended the throne, Jiang Wansui, eldest princess of Daye, was granted in marriage to Jing Shi, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old who truly held power in Daye.

People loved to gossip that a eunuch who could marry a beloved princess was lucky enough to have it all. At that point, even spending the rest of his life without an heir was worth it.

On their wedding night, Jiang Wansui and Jing Shi perished together in a sea of flames.

In his final moments, Jing Shi was finally able to call her "Suishui" once more. Stroking Jing Shi’s cold face, Jiang Wansui murmured, "Brother Awang."

The dead should have faded like a lamp going out, but Jiang Wansui was reborn at thirteen, carrying regrets she had never been able to voice.

That spring, she was still Daye’s most beloved Princess Anping, and Jing Shi had yet to become the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.

The young man was radiant and handsome, warm and graceful. As he rode past the teahouse below, Jiang Wansui stared at him, spellbound.

Suddenly, she remembered that even by the time they died, the two of them had never truly been together.

Like a fluttering butterfly, she settled neatly into Jing Shi’s arms and wrapped hers around the young man’s neck, smiling sweetly. "Brother Awang, will you take me home?"

His eyes were alight with warmth, and the arm around her waist was scorching. "I’d be honored, Suishui."

Time passed, circumstances changed, and at last Suishui was reunited with her Brother Awang.

Theme: Sometimes, taking a different path in life can lead to a happy ending.
