Beauty

Iron-hearted, ungrateful, stone-faced constable vs. the scheming leader of the Demonic Cult

The story of two wicked women locking horns and taking from each other. Happy ending.

Blurb:

When Wei Ziyi was eight, both her parents died, leaving her to beg on the streets. At nine, she entered the palace, and under the court's guidance, became an imperial guard.

Gifted and clever, she repeatedly distinguished herself through extraordinary feats. At just twenty-six, she had already risen to the rank of third-rank deputy official.

She did not hesitate to stain her hands with blood, becoming the ruthless, elusive shadow behind the ruler.

One day, the court gave her a secret order: go and meet the legendary master of the Tianyan Sect, famed for his uncanny foresight.

She set out full of confidence, but on the day she arrived in Yingzhou, she fell into a woman's trap. Her hands were tied behind her back and bound to the headboard, and the keys to the Imperial Guard's dungeon had vanished without a trace.

The embarrassment was minor. Failing her mission was the real problem.

If she didn't avenge this, she would be unworthy of serving the court!

·

For seventeen years, the court carved four words into Wei Ziyi's blood: loyalty to the ruler, service to the country.

Lu Wuxi needed only one cup of tea to freeze her sincerity, break her spirit, and make her see the truth.

A beautiful woman is born with a seductive charm. Since time immemorial, every force has had its match.

Wei Ziyi: "I've heard the master of the Tianyan Sect is unrivaled in talent and beauty, the most gorgeous woman of any age. But that lovely skin can't hide her wicked heart. I have a particular fondness for women with hearts like snakes and scorpions. I must tear off her haughty disguise with my own hands, so I can admire her groveling after a stint in prison."

Lu Wuxi: "The court has sent a new secret agent, known as Wei Ziyi, the iron-faced, kind-hearted one. What kindness? She's rotten to the core, sharper than a blade and more loyal than a dog. That face of hers is the only thing worth looking at. The moans she makes are sweeter than the songs of the girls at Spring Welcome House."

A few things to know before you dive in:

1. A wuxia story driven by the plot. Solving cases comes first, romance second.

2. Both female leads are powerful. They say one thing and mean another: at odds in public, deeply affectionate in private. They fight dressed and tear at each other's clothes once undressed. Neither has a fixed role; each has to earn it.

3. The author has few jokes, writes clean romances, is getting old, and has a fragile heart. Stay if you like it, leave if you don't, and please be gentle.

5. My next book, Provocation, is a coming-of-age campus fantasy with supernatural abilities. Feel free to add it to your collection in advance.
