The Emperor's Favor

Upcoming story in my collection: Yearning (he secretly loves her)

Blurb

Yu Ehuang, the Chancellor's daughter, is sweet and elegant, as beautiful as a celestial maiden.

She falls to her death on the day of the imperial selection.

The current emperor, Li Shangjia, is aloof and handsome.

He vanishes on the day of the imperial selection.

Everyone believes it must be a coincidence.

But then, one day, the emperor, who has always kept his distance from women, appears with a quiet, refined, and sweetly bashful young woman at his side.

Over the next few days, his younger brother often witnesses these displays of affection.

For example:

"Ehuang hasn't been feeling well lately. I must go see her early!"

"Ehuang's been getting more and more peckish lately. Can you recommend something for her to eat?"

These sorts of things happen all the time.

Faced with a brother like this, all he can do is put a hand to his forehead and sigh at the heavens!

P.S. This story is set in a fictional world and is not based on real people.

My next story will be Half a Lifetime of Tender Care. Please add it to your reading list!

Blurb

Li Xicen is a famous beauty in Yangzhou, with rosy lips and skin as smooth as jade.

No one knows what changed, but suddenly she became reserved and aloof, keeping everyone at arm's length.

After being caught in a scheme, she's forced to marry Lin Ninghao, a merchant in town.

A perfect gentleman, as warm and gentle as jade.

He dotes on her and indulges her, caring for her in every way.

She doesn't like managing the household, so he takes care of everything himself.

She doesn't like socializing, so he handles it all for her.

If she suffers a slight, he makes sure to repay it many times over.

Though she is afraid, she can't resist the faint stirring in her heart...

Before meeting Lin Ninghao, she thought all the world's splendor was just passing clouds, and not worth chasing.

But after meeting him, she realized that all the world's splendor was worth pursuing, as long as she could hold his hand.

He would always remember her unguarded smile, so bright and radiant. Even the starry heavens could not compare to the slight curve of her lips.

From that moment on, he knew that protecting her was a fate he could never escape.

A gentle, reserved hero x a cool, resilient heroine

Lin Menghan, a duke of the realm, is a master of social graces and a brilliant tactician in the political arena, yet he falls head over heels for Shen Yuhuan.

He falls for her at first sight. He approaches her and treats her well, asking for nothing in return.

As they spend time together, he grows insecure and despondent, convinced that he isn't good enough for her.

Shen Yuhuan has been making her way alone in the world since the age of ten. She spends ten years studying medicine and treating the sick, but cannot cure her own heartache.

Until Lin Menghan appears.

He tells her, "Whether it's a mountain of blades or a pool of dragons and tigers, wherever you go, I'll go with you!"
