A Beauty for Hire

[Weibo: @Feng Yi He Ya]

Yun Ruo became a famous courtesan halfway through her career. Greedy, lustful, lazy, and averse to work, she nevertheless made a name for herself in the capital with her breathtaking beauty.

She had only been the top courtesan for a few days and hadn't yet had a chance to show off her talents when someone bought her freedom.

The man who bought her was Gu Jing, the emperor's third son. Once Yun Ruo learned who he was, her fighting spirit flared briefly before she decided it would be wiser to settle down and be his pampered canary.

After throwing her weight around at the bastard's estate for a month, she suddenly heard that he planned to give her away. Without a second thought, Yun Ruo grabbed the money and ran.

A few days later, a tall, imposing man in black and gold robes cornered her. He threatened and tempted her: "Marry me, and I'll give you the world."

Later, after unifying the realm, the man offered her the world as his betrothal gift. Yun Ruo gazed at him kneeling before her with the imperial seal in his hands, her eyes shining, and nodded solemnly. But the next day, while he waited full of hope, she took the fortune and ran.

Gu Jing, upon hearing the news: "..."

-

Yun Ruo: You may not believe this, but I'm an independent woman who loves herself.

Gu Jing: Heh.

[Next Book] The Princess Is Tired of Living

The Mingyang Princess, reborn three times, has returned to the capital with her father!

On her first day in the capital, she stopped the carriage of the Chancellor's daughter. On the second, she wrecked the place of the capital's number-one playboy. She thought she'd rein herself in on the third day, but instead, in front of everyone, she broke off her engagement to the ruthless Prince Yu!

Everyone who already hated her was secretly delighted when they heard the news. Prince Yu was notorious for his ruthlessness. How could anyone dare break off an engagement with him? Had she gone mad?

But the woman in question merely brushed back her hair and modestly said, "Oh, no. I'm just tired of living!"

Everyone waited for Prince Yu to punish her. But no matter how long they waited, they never saw the show they wanted. They waited until Prince Yu ascended the throne, and until she wore the phoenix crown and robes, but still nothing.

*

Since he was twenty, Prince Yu had been haunted by the same recurring dream. A girl accompanied him from a life as lowly as mud to the highest position in the realm. But on the day he ascended the throne, the dream ended, and he met a woman identical to the one in it.

So he staged his coup early.
