Deadly Allure

[This novel has been unlocked. I can't write anymore, and there won't be any updates for the foreseeable future!]

Synopsis One:

In this life, Xie Rong'an went from being an honorable scion of a distinguished family to defying his parents, plotting against the heir apparent, and defying his superiors. After ten years of constant caution and composure, he schemed his way to the highest office, only to withdraw at the peak of his power.

She once asked, "Xie Lang, do you regret it?"

Xie Lang only smiled and said nothing, thinking back to the days of his youth.

The most beautiful sight he'd ever seen in this life was the girl who leapt down from the wall when he was fifteen. Everything he'd done since then had been for her.

Synopsis Two:

Lu Ying had been delicate and alluring since childhood, stunning everyone with her beauty.

Unfortunately, though she was born into a prestigious family, her father was unknown, she bore her mother's surname, and she was a helpless orphan living under someone else's roof.

The countless young noblemen and famous scholars of Jiankang all kept their distance.

A woman like her might be pleasing as a concubine, but she wasn't worth marrying.

Only Xie Rong'an, the third son of the Xie family, thought otherwise.

One autumn day, among red maples and reed flowers, with the river wind sighing around them,

Xie Rong'an placed a jade pendant in Lu Ying's hand and vowed, "Rong'an is willing to sacrifice his reputation and give away all his wealth to protect A Ying and ensure her peace for the rest of her life."

Lu Ying blinked, the river wind bringing tears to her eyes, and etched his words into her heart.

Later, when she became a Grand Princess,

with powerful clans vying for power within the court and northern barbarians poised to invade,

she remained calm and unruffled in the face of danger,

for Xie Rong'an was there. He suppressed the powerful clans at court and pacified the lands north of the Yangtze, giving her a safe haven through his own strength alone.

-- Upcoming Novel --

Her father was Grand Marshal, her mother a Grand Princess.

Cui Qi was born the most dazzling flower above the common crowd.

But on her wedding night, her husband, Ji Hanzhi, a poor-born leader of a refugee army, received a dispatch from the front lines and hurried off before the wedding ceremony was even finished.

He was gone for a whole year.

A year later, Ji Hanzhi returned.

Cui Qi swallowed her anger and humiliation. With all the dignity and poise of a noblewoman from a great family, she lifted her chin and swept out her sleeve. "I'll go ask His Majesty to issue an edict granting us a divorce!"

Ji Hanzhi paused, his expression calm. "A Qi, are you blaming me for not being by your side this past year? I was certainly in the wrong. Don't worry, I won't leave you alone in our bedchamber again."

Cui Qi pointed a slender finger at him as he calmly lowered the bed curtains. Her eyes widened and she trembled. "You, you villain..."

Ji Hanzhi had always known that the woman he'd married was a genuine canary:

Noble birth, exquisite beauty, elegant manners. All he had to do was keep her in a cage, and he would have nothing to worry about.

Later, he realized that no matter how beautiful and noble a bird was, if you didn't watch it closely, it could still escape its cage.

There was nothing for it. He had to keep watch day and night and pamper her with care.
