Click through to my author page to save them! Blurb: Li Jiayun transmigrates and finds herself in the body of Li Lingjiang, Princess Yongjia, the most controversial figure in the Great Yan dynasty! The common folk say the princess is despised by her husband, that she's plain, talentless, and unvirtuous, yet hopelessly in love with him, so much so that she even finds him concubines to curry his favor! And yet, the very same Princess Yongjia who is supposedly despised is also said to be a bewitching temptress, the apple of Emperor Li Chiming's eye. The emperor has gone so far as to flout protocol for her, even defying the Empress Dowager and confronting his ministers! Everyone wonders what kind of spell the princess has cast on the emperor, her own elder brother, to earn such devotion, enough to eclipse even the Empress! Li Jiayun: Hello? Is something wrong with you people? The Princess Yongjia's face is surely the most beautiful in the world! And if she's so amazing, why put up with the misery her freeloading husband causes her? Goodbye, Prince Consort. I'm a princess now, I'm noble, and you're not worthy of me. So please go find somewhere else to be miserable! I'm divorcing you! Everyone in the princess's household rejoiced. "Your Highness! At last you've seen sense! In that case, does His Majesty have a chance now..." Li Jiayun, baffled: "Isn't he my elder brother? What chance does he have?" Li Chiming: "A Yun, that's a long story, and where to begin... Anyway, I've already given you everything I can. Gifts are getting boring... I've decided to make you a Grand Princess and give you a hand in governing, just as I promised before. We'll work hard together, reform the state, and make Great Yan truly powerful! What do you say? What do those rumors matter? I want to rule this realm with you. I'll make sure the whole world knows that if A Yun wants the stars, her elder brother will pluck them down for her! I want you to make history with me and become the most honored woman in Great Yan!" Li Jiayun, horrified: "Help!!!!! Aren't you supposed to be a tyrant? Aren't you 'my' elder brother? This isn't how the script was supposed to go!" "Disaster! Her Highness has run away from His Majesty again!" "A Yun!!!! Listen to your elder brother! It's really not what you think!!!! Hear me out!!!!" This is not a Mary Sue story. This is not a Mary Sue story. This is not a Mary Sue story. Important things need to be said three times. Li Chiming is a brilliant, ambitious, scheming, and possessive emperor who looks kind on the outside but is ruthless within. Li Lingjiang is a clever princess, skilled in both strategy and warfare, who looks ruthless on the outside but is kind within. Fake incest. The heroine and her Prince Consort never have a real relationship; they are married in name only. Li Chiming is the genuine male lead. At first, Li Lingjiang doesn't know that she and Li Chiming aren't blood relatives, but he does. An alternate-history court drama about love, schemes, power, and conquest. You could also call it The Years I Spent Falling in Love with the Dog Emperor While Building the Kingdom of Yan, haha. The heroine before and after transmigrating is essentially the same person. Read with confidence. Please add my new xianxia novel to your reading list! The Demon Lord Was Reborn as His Junior Sister Leng Jianhun, the peerless Demon Lord of Asura, is extraordinarily gifted and immensely powerful. As the Chief Protector of Tianshu Sect and a notorious villain, according to the righteous sects, his greatest wish in his past life was to bring down the sanctimonious "orthodox sect" Ziwei Sect and avenge his parents and master, who died unjustly. But before he could take his revenge, he was betrayed and framed, ending in failure and death, and dragging down his devoted young disciple, Fan Qiying, with him. A villain's grand ambition cut short by a traitor? No way! Leng Jianhun is reborn, vowing to reclaim everything he lost in his previous life! And he will do whatever it takes to make amends to the girl he let down, who sacrificed herself for him and loved him more than her own life. But when he truly wakes up reborn, he discovers that he has... become his young disciple, Fan Qiying?! And that's not all. Why is the "Leng Jianhun" he has to deal with after being reborn as Fan Qiying so... ridiculous? Everyone says that Fan Qiying, the divine sword of the heavens, is the finest weapon in the world. Ziwei Sect claims she helped Leng Jianhun commit evil. But Fan Qiying knows that Ziwei Sect would love nothing more than for her to join them and become their most efficient killing tool. Unfortunately for them, Fan Qiying is loyal to her master, Leng Jianhun, and to him alone. In her previous life, she died for him without hesitation. Her only regret was that he never understood her feelings before she died. If heaven gave her another chance to be reborn, she would stay by his side and be his comforting little fireball, doing everything she could to warm the heart the world had broken! But wait! What's going on? How did she end up reborn in her master's body? And why, after Fan Qiying is reborn as Leng Jianhun, is the disciple she has to deal with so... brilliant (crazy)? Confused Leng Jianhun: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do? Confused Fan Qiying: Who am I? Where am I? What should I do? The people of Ziwei Sect: Disaster! Those two demons from Tianshu Sect who know the script are back again!!! The orthodox sects are in danger!!! Leng Jianhun and Fan Qiying smile awkwardly but politely. "If we don't know what to do, then we might as well eat, sleep, and beat up Ziwei Sect! Our goal is to wipe out every harmful pest! We are invincible! Since we've already read the script and know how to avoid danger, why not enjoy a government-funded romance?" A comedic, mutually doting daily life between a master and disciple who can take on the whole world. The man is reborn as a woman, and the woman as a man. A quirky, playful master and a secretly possessive disciple, after being reborn. Ever seen a disciple who sighs and rubs his temples every day, yet still protects his master at all costs? Fan Qiying says: "What do you do when your master loves saving everyone? You indulge him!" Ever seen a master who comes up with a new ridiculous stunt every day, trying to make his disciple just as silly? Leng Jianhun says: "If you won't be silly and I won't be silly, how will my disciple ever become a sweetie?" A fun revenge story. This disciple is a must-have! Reader's guide: 1. My take on cultivation, with lots of original worldbuilding and a touch of steampunk. The righteous sects aren't truly righteous, and the demonic path isn't all that demonic. You could also call this story How I Learned to Reform the Demonic Path and Replace the Orthodox Sects. 2. The male lead really isn't a good person at first. His morals are questionable. 3. The leads won't reveal their identities right away. At first, they'll keep guessing each other's secrets. The story starts slowly. Their souls will switch back later! Definitely a happy ending. Come on in! Please add my new suspense mystery to your reading list! Strange Tales of Mysterious Crimes (Crime Investigation): Blurb The police in Xuncheng receive a report: the "finger-chopping serial killer," who has been quiet for over a year, has resurfaced, committing a brutal murder in a locked room and killing a doctor. The city is gripped by fear. Everyone says the pervert who cuts off his victims' fingers after killing them has returned! But Mi Jiajia, captain of the city criminal investigation team, says, "It wasn't him. This time, it's a different killer." Unsurprisingly, no one on the team agrees with the young female captain. "Captain Mi, sometimes you've challenged our theories before, but that was when the evidence was inconclusive. This time, it's obvious the finger-chopping pervert did it! The same fingers cut off, the same calling card, no fingerprints or footprints or other evidence... Even the victim's pose is nearly identical. We request that the cases be investigated together!" "I object," a lazy voice said. Everyone turned and gasped. Tang Shi, the star forensic pathologist who was always arguing with Captain Mi, was taking her side this time! It was the sort of astonishing surprise that would make even the most unusual thing seem ordinary! Seeing their astonishment, the catlike man yawned and said listlessly, "It's obvious these weren't committed by the same person. You have a fixed idea of what these cases look like, so you keep forcing them to fit. Tell me, what was the biggest feature of the 'finger-chopping serial killer's' earlier cases?" "The severed fingers!" The star forensic pathologist shook his head, his dark eyes gleaming with thoughts they couldn't understand. "No. Rape. In the two cases committed by the finger-chopping serial killer, both victims were raped and murdered." "But this time, the victim is a respected old doctor. It's a locked-room murder in a sealed environment. Just because his fingers were cut off, you think the same person committed this murder and the earlier ones?" Mi Jiajia and Tang Shi's theory soon found indirect confirmation. When another case of rape and murder involving severed fingers came to light, the police had to reassess the evidence and stop investigating the doctor's murder as part of the same series. But soon, a scrap yard owner's kidnapping, a young delinquent girl's body found in a water tank, and a young man who came forward claiming to have masterminded all the crimes threw the police's original theories into complete chaos! Mi Jiajia: Tang Shi, can you feel it? Behind all these cases, all these baffling cases, it seems there's an invisible demon baring its claws. I mean, a shadow, a hidden hand, hanging over all of us, watching this city from the dark and driving these cases forward... Tang Shi: Put it plainly. Materialists don't believe in supernatural nonsense. Mi Jiajia: ...I'm starting to think these cases are connected too. The phone rang. Tang Shi received a call from his niece, Gai Bailing, who was in middle school. "Hello?" A frightened, anxious voice came from the other end. The girl, a high school sophomore, spoke slowly, trying hard to stay calm. "Uncle, that student who fell from a building at our school a few days ago... I think someone deliberately murdered them..." [Reading Guide]: 1. A suspenseful, horror-tinged crime investigation story with an ensemble cast and a modern alternate setting, focused on the cases and rooted in social realism. 2. A tale of an older, single female police captain, sharp and meticulous in her work but a drama queen in everyday life, teaming up with a catlike, food-loving forensic expert who specializes in seeing through pretenses. They solve cases together. To stress the point, the focus is on solving crimes. Although both leads are older and single, they don't date; they only work. (My brain can only handle the cases, so please spare me the romance, haha.) 3. Some cases are dark and disturbing. Readers under fourteen are advised not to read. If there are no other questions, let's do this! Welcome aboard! Theme: Who says women are inferior to men?
