Blurb
Lin Yao met a gruesome end in her previous life. Reborn, she encountered a sickly prince who had been transferred back to the capital.
But she discovered that the frail, courteous prince of the rumors was a fake.
She had spent barely two days with this sickly prince, yet he had already grabbed her by the throat and threatened her twice.
The first time
The man's voice was as cold as stone as he whispered in her ear, “Remember, I am someone you cannot threaten.”
Lin Yao desperately clawed at his hand and nodded frantically. [I remember!!]
The second time
Amid a dizzying flash of white light, steam curled from the teacup in the man's hand. He asked her, “Have you made up your mind? If you come with me, you will never be free again.”
Lin Yao nodded.
As long as she could cling to a powerful patron, what was there to fear?
Later on
Beneath the watery night sky, in a warm hibiscus-canopied bed,
Zhai Xi said hoarsely, “Yao Yao, you were born to have me wrapped around your finger.”

Forthcoming novel:
[The Floating World of Officialdom]
Blurb:
Her father was thrown into prison, her mother hanged herself, and in an instant her family was utterly ruined. Powerless to do anything, she was eventually registered as a prostitute-slave, condemned to remain one for life.
Behind crimson bed curtains, Yao Ning woke from a confused slumber, unsure how long she had been asleep. She discovered that she had become a ten-year-old girl once more. Her parents doted on her, her family was thriving, and everything was just as it had always been.
With tears in her eyes, Yao Ning secretly vowed to keep her family safe in this life. But she never expected the mighty Cheng Wei, a eunuch of the Western Depot, to appear out of nowhere and forcefully thwart everything she tried to do.
He pursued Yao Ning step by step as if she were prey, leaving her not the slightest room to breathe.
The young girl ran over angrily and glared at him. “What exactly does the Director want? Just say it, so I can hear it!”
He had narrow, foxlike eyes and a handsome face. A hint of a smile, half-mocking and half-amused, always played at the corners of his mouth, making his disposition impossible to read.
Hearing her words, he gave that same smile and sighed. “I am missing someone dear at my side. I wonder if Miss Yao would be willing?”
Yao Ning: :)
He wants to take a male lover, and he's picked me? Well, goodbye to you!
