A Little Sweetness in Jianghu

Updated daily at 12:00 noon. A sweet-treat variety platter, a series of wuxia stories.

Story One:

Hua Wuji has spent twenty years at this theater. She's performed on every stage in Suicheng time and again. Among the younger generation, no one can match her in the leading-lady role.

She loves performing. Other than singing onstage, she takes little interest in anything, until a new laborer arrives at the theater.

The new laborer is honest and simple, quiet and reserved, and never dares speak to the young women.

Now that's something. Hua Wuji has found a new pastime: watching this strapping eight-foot man blush like a bashful bride.

When things naturally fall into place...

Ling Jiu gazed anxiously at the delicate woman before him. "I'm sorry I lied to you. I'm actually a spy from the Linghua Sect, planted here. But don't be afraid. I'll treat you well for the rest of my life."

The Linghua Sect, the Rakshasa cult that strikes fear into the hearts of everyone in the martial world.

"I'm not afraid. I want to stay with you forever, Jiu."

Hua Wuji nestled into the man's arms. "Oh, right. Which branch are you from? Why have I never seen you, Jiu, even though I've been the leader of the Linghua Sect for ten years?"

Ling Jiu: ?

#In the martial world, who doesn't have more than one identity#

Story Two: A capricious, ruthless (tsundere) junior brother x a gentle, blind senior sister

[A light, easy, sweet story. Absolutely not elegant, and not deep. No restrictions on gender. Everyone loves the heroine.]

[Fragile-hearted author. I don't read comments. I'll fix typos after completion.]

Up next: Foxy Temptress, a collection of sweet stories of the same sort.

Story One: A corrupted, devoted female side character x an author transported into her own novel

"Mother... why won't you look at me? I don't understand. Why is that woman your heroine? I'm clearly the better one. Has she bewitched you?"

The woman choked back sobs and wrapped her arms around the other's waist, looking up as she wept in despair. "Please tell me what I have to do to become your most beloved daughter... Mother, I'm your most outstanding child."

Story Two: The aloof courtesan queen x the devoted, pure-hearted performer

"Liulian, I've already lost the chance to hold my head high for the rest of my life. But things are different for you. Someone wants to redeem you, so you should go."

"If you say so, Sister, then I'll leave my first blood here today." She sank to her knees, her waist soft and graceful. "Sister, take me."

Story Three: Transported into a palace-intrigue drama, falls in love with the empress and... kills her

She struck just the right tone and launched into catty palace intrigue. "Sister should take good care of her health. After all, you're the one who has to manage the harem. If you fall ill from exhaustion, I'll be worried sick."

The empress lowered her head, blushing. "I'll take good care of myself. Sister, don't worry about me..."

Her: ...Why the hell are you blushing?

Story Four: A tragic, devoted senior sister x a charming junior sister (I'll see whether I write this one)

Story Five: The scheming woman who is the cold prince's beloved x his gentle substitute princess
