Blurb

Born into a distinguished family, Zuo Yunshang is renowned throughout Xizhou for her extraordinary beauty. Unfortunately, her entire family dotes on this youngest daughter, cherishing her like a pearl, and she grew up spoiled and domineering.

She is as famous for her arrogance and imperiousness as for her beauty. In Xizhou, the noblewomen who can't stand her could line up all the way from the west side of the city to the city gates.

Her father and brothers thought that, even if she was spoiled and overbearing, they could simply find their darling a husband from a humble family, someone they could keep under their thumb. That way, their precious girl could live a carefree life, never having to suffer the slightest grievance.

But no one expected the frail, frequently ill Crown Prince to come asking for her hand in marriage.

The whole family was beside themselves with worry. They feared their precious little girl would suffer at the hands of the ruthless, aloof Crown Prince if she entered the imperial palace.

Only Zuo Yunshang herself wasn't worried. In fact, she was delighted, because she knew better than anyone how deeply that seemingly cold and ascetic Crown Prince loved and cherished her.

In her previous life, through a twist of fate, she unwillingly entered the Eastern Palace and turned it upside down. In the end, she was foolish enough to believe Prince Han's lies.

The Crown Prince knew she had ulterior motives, yet he never even laid a finger on her, right up until his death. He ultimately died for her.

Everyone in Xizhou who hated Zuo Yunshang assumed that once she entered the palace, her arrogance would anger the Crown Prince and get her executed. They waited to see her lying dead in the Eastern Palace, to watch that obnoxious, high-spirited nature of hers get ground away.

But they waited and waited, until Zuo Yunshang went from Crown Princess to Empress. Then they watched her become the new emperor's one and only woman.

The new emperor treasured her like a pearl in his palm, and doted on her so much that she never toned down her audacious ways one bit.

A censor submitted a memorial: "The Empress grows more and more arrogant by the day. Your Majesty should restrain her."

Another harsh official, certain he understood the emperor's wishes, said, "In my humble opinion, the Empress is neither virtuous nor worthy. I recommend deposing her and executing her relatives. Your Majesty can choose another virtuous woman to be Empress."

The new emperor, who had just carried out a ruthless purge of the capital's powerful families, replied, "I became emperor so she could do as she pleased, free of all restraint."

The domineering Crown Princess x the duplicitous, sickly Crown Prince

In one sentence: I can't change my little tyrant, so I can only change myself.

Everyone says the emperor is young, and that the Great Liang dynasty is being held together by Chancellor Song. Even the young emperor has to respectfully call Song Yuebei "Uncle."

These days, anyone who dares oppose him openly ends up as an old bloodstain by the palace gates or a pile of dry bones in a mass grave.

Rumor has it that he's impossible to please. He doesn't care for money or beauty, has no regard for others, and is ignorant of worldly affairs. He's bloodthirsty and power-hungry, obsessed with authority above all else.

But Marquis Changxin refuses to believe it. Confidently, he gathers several peerlessly beautiful courtesans and invites Chancellor Song to a banquet.

Yet with beauties at his side whispering sweet nothings, the man remains cold and aloof. He even looks disgusted before brushing them off and leaving.

Marquis Changxin thinks he's finished. But a quarter of an hour later, things take an unexpected turn. After leaving the estate, Chancellor Song sends back a domineering message: "Your maid is lovely. I want her."

Everyone sees Song Yuebei carry the young woman out of the estate. It would be more accurate to say he stole her than asked for her.

It's astonishing that Song Yuebei, who never shows interest in women, would fall for a maid. Even more astonishing, when the marquise checks the household staff, she finds not a single maid missing.

Song Yuebei used to think it ridiculous for a man to be captivated by a woman, until Yun Ling glanced back at him from beneath a flowering tree.

The blossoms covering the tree couldn't compare to the young woman beneath it. Without a second thought, he snatched her away to his estate, falling helplessly for her breathtaking beauty.

From the heroine's perspective

The first assignment Yun Ling takes after completing her training is to take the head of Chancellor Song, the most powerful man of his time.

Her senior apprentice sister repeatedly warns her to put her life first, observe her target carefully, and wait for the right chance to strike.

Taking her sister's advice, Yun Ling heads down the mountain, planning to watch her target for a while before acting.

Unexpectedly, she only gets one look at him before her target enthusiastically snatches her into his estate. She was supposed to observe him, but somehow ended up putting herself on the line.

The longer Yun Ling watches Song Yuebei, the more she realizes that the rumors are all lies.

That he's cold-hearted? That he's haughty? That he doesn't like beautiful women?

He's way too enthusiastic!

A short scene

Yun Ling rubs her forehead and sighs. "I'm a professional. Have a little respect for me."

Song Yuebei lifts her chin. "Don't frown. I'll give you anything you want."

The beauty draws a blade and presses it against his throat in an instant. "What if I want your life?"

Song Yuebei smiles. "That, too."

Xu Zui reassures herself that it doesn't mean anything.

Until the school's heartthrob embraces her in front of everyone and asks, his gaze deep and intense, "Xu Zui, how long are you going to keep pretending you don't know?"

Only then does Xu Zui realize things might be getting serious.

And finally, here's a preview of my satisfying quick transmigration novel, Pretending to Be Human.

Blurb

As an android, Saiya was born fearless. She thought her purpose was to serve as a human-shaped weapon and slaughter her way across the battlefield. Instead, she gets bound to a System and sent into different worlds again and again to complete strange missions.

#A young woman becomes a mother, raises an apocalyptic villain with love, and stops the end of the world?#

#A spacefaring Alpha girl's path to romance: Hey, girl, let's have a passionate, earth-shaking love affair. Go win over that Omega/Beta/Alpha!#

Are these missions even remotely reasonable?

As an android without feelings, Saiya finds these tasks completely unreasonable.

Every day, Saiya diligently completes her missions. The results, however, are often unexpected.

Stop the villain from ending the world?

Easy. A dead villain can't destroy the world.

Win over the strongest Alpha?

Beat him until he gives in. Keep going until he kneels and says he loves you.

In one sentence: An emotionless, human-shaped weapon takes on romance missions. Simple, direct, fast, effective, and guaranteed to satisfy.
