Jade Dew Breaks the Golden Wind

Blurb: [Heiress x Sweet on the Outside, Dark on the Inside]

The prestigious Du family of Linzhou had dwindled to this branch, with only one daughter left to inherit the family fortune.

Matchmakers nearly wore down the Du family's doorstep. Everyone wanted to curry favor with them, even if it meant marrying into the family.

Yet not a single suitor succeeded.

Jiang Jiangqiao, who had traveled a long way carrying a token of betrothal, was driven away too.

.

In just two short years, the Du family fell into rapid decline.

Caught up in factional strife, Master Du was thrown into prison and sentenced to death by firing squad three days later.

When Du Yunci had nowhere left to turn, someone advised her that Jiang Jiangqiao, now the richest man in Linzhou, was sworn brothers with the newly appointed warlord. Master Du's life or death depended on no more than a word from Jiang Jiangqiao to the warlord. She could offer herself to Jiang Jiangqiao.

That very night, Du Yunci really did knock on the door of Jiang Mansion.

.

The whole city waited to laugh at the Du family's heiress, and to hear how Jiang Jiangqiao, infamous for taking revenge over the slightest slight, would toy with Du Yunci and then cast her aside.

But a day passed, then a month, then a year...

From then on, everyone knew that a single word from Du Yunci could make Jiang Jiangqiao "climb to the ninth heaven to seize the sun and moon, or drain the Eastern Sea to cleanse the world."

.

Du Yunci once had a dream.

The story in that dream unfolded in a different way.

※An alternate Republican-era setting, essentially using the period as a backdrop for romance. Readers seeking a strong period atmosphere should read with caution.

※This is not a power-fantasy with a golden finger. The heroine is imperfect, and the hero is no saint. They both have plenty of flaws.

Coming soon: Marry Into the Republican-Era Novel and Hold On to the Disabled Leg of Its Big Shot

Ming Ge, the only beloved jewel of the Warlord's Residence, is spoiled by her father and brothers. She is arrogant, domineering, tyrannical, and wanton.

After dying unexpectedly while trying to abduct a man, she discovers that she was a cannon-fodder supporting character in a Republican-era novel.

The good news: She is reborn.

The bad news: She is reborn as Ye Qiangwei, a dance-hall singer, and has just been drugged and sent to Lu Jinzhi's bed.

Who is Lu Jinzhi? A descendant of a prince from the previous dynasty.

Though he is merely a fallen aristocrat, with crippled legs and an eccentric temperament, his face alone is enough to make every young woman in the city flock to him.

Except Ming Ge.

Because she is the reason Lu Jinzhi is disabled.
