After He Ran Off With Our Child, He Pursued Me to the Ashes

Blurb: In an age of war, when people go hungry, the beggar girl Wanwan barely scrapes by in a remote, barbaric city torn apart by fighting. By sheer luck, she encounters a noble young lord who has come from the capital. Alone in the world, she has no family and has lost all her memories of the past. But to stay alive, she throws herself in front of a speeding carriage without a second thought. Its raised hooves nearly trample her frail body, but he reins the horses in just in time. At that moment, the difference between them is like heaven and earth. She sees his impossibly handsome face, as beautiful as an immortal's, like the purest and most noble moon in the heavens. She feels that if she can only reach him, she might finally escape her filthy, hungry, wretched fate. Tears streaming down her face, she reaches out a trembling hand to him, humbling herself. The instinct to survive makes her forget her dignity for a moment. Now he is the light illuminating her dark fate. She longs even more to cling to this lifeline that can save her from misery, never imagining that he will be a sweet poison, leading her into another crushing abyss. "Save... save me... Please." Her face is pale as she manages to speak weakly. At the time, she does not yet know that his name is Jiang Jinghan, or that he is a powerful noble, second only to The Outcast and above all others. "Oh? You want to come with me?" A curious light gradually kindles in his eyes. He looks at her again with an amused expression. He is high above her, like a god who holds her entire fate in his hands. "Are you sure?" She makes up her mind and nods. "...Get in." She sees him stretch out a long, elegant hand. She grabs it joyfully, not noticing the inscrutable calm in his eyes. Later, she becomes his secret mistress, kept in a private residence outside his home. At first, all she wanted was to be his maid, to work like an ox and a horse if need be, in repayment for his kindness in saving her life. Unfortunately, she has no right to decide her own future. He says that from the moment he saved her, her life belonged to him. From then on, he keeps her captive in his grasp, domineeringly claiming every part of her. But that is all right, too. Having endured so much hardship, she has always been resilient and adaptable. Jiang Jinghan is generous, too, giving her plenty of silver notes and jewelry. Ever since moving into his residence, she has carefully saved them for a rainy day. She thinks she has grown used to putting up with him, but that day still comes sooner than expected. That night, he comes to her and coldly orders, "I will send you into the palace. Once you are by the emperor's side, remember to keep watch on his every move and report back to me." Lately, worn out by state affairs and weighed down by worry, he forgets to explain things to her. In truth, he has never intended to present her to the emperor as a consort. Even the idea of sending her into the palace as a servant is only a last resort. But she misunderstands him, and at last her heart turns completely cold toward him. Her plan to flee with the money is forced onto the agenda. After finally escaping, fate plays an enormous joke on her: she discovers that she is pregnant. Her mouth twitches. Well... she can just about accept that. He does not know about the child, anyway, and from now on she will have nothing more to do with him. After enduring countless hardships, Wanwan finally settles into a peaceful, comfortable life with just herself and her child. But she never expects him to appear before her one day, looking like a fiend. "Wanwan, how long did you think you could hide from me while carrying my child?" His eyes are bloodshot. Gritting his teeth, he looks at her and says, "I finally found you." His vicious gaze is almost venomous, and his icy voice barely contains his anger, sending chills down anyone's spine.

Currently serializing: The Tyrant's Favor for His Sister-in-Law [New Blurb: Unhinged Edition] Blurb One: Mu Jun has always resented Mu Zhan for using their child's life to threaten her into becoming his. She thought losing her memory might give them a chance to bury the hatchet. It was only when he beat her son to death with his own hands that she finally woke from her dream. He even said it had been an accident, that he had killed him by mistake. She could not help laughing, a desolate, crazed, despairing laugh. "Let me tell you: when I abandoned your son, that little bastard, I was overjoyed. But don't blame me. Just as you said, I only killed her by accident back then. It's his own fault for being so weak. His very birth was a disgrace, and he never deserved to live in this world!" "I told you to stop talking!" The child was his bottom line. Her words enraged him completely, and for the first time, he struck her. Perhaps once he started, he would never stop. Like a madman, he lashed her body mercilessly with a whip. "If you won't love me, then I will hate you!" If he could not have her, he would destroy her. That was how recklessly love turned to hate. At the time, she thought she might as well let him beat her to death. Then she could be reunited with her son and would never again have to suffer his coercion and humiliation. "You'd better kill me this time. Otherwise, you'll regret it." Those words alone made him stop, pulling him back from his madness. When she truly wanted to die, he could not bear to let her. She wanted to kill him for revenge, but in the end, she failed. After she tried to take her own life time and again, he finally allowed her to become a nun. "Do you really think you're so stunning that the whole empire would fall for you, and that I can't live without you?" "Get out! Leave! If you don't love me, I don't want your charity! Do you really think I can't survive without you? Go if you want. I won't try to stop you again. I never want to see you again!" He roars in a fury. Watching his lonely, dejected figure disappear, she thinks they will never cross paths again. But he regrets letting her go. Then one night, she wakes from a dream to see Mu Zhan, a lingering ghost at her bedside, watching her intently as he gently strokes her cheek. Mu Jun cannot help screaming. The nights are so unbearably lonely. Without love, how could there be hate? It turns out he has never stopped loving her for a single moment. No more holding back. Let the torment hit even harder!

Wang Wan is the most beautiful woman in Great Xia, with breathtaking beauty and a face like a flower, yet she cannot win the heart of Xie Yu, the most famous scholar in the land. She is deeply frustrated and cannot figure out what went wrong, so she goes to ask Princess Yang Wu for advice. "Sister Awu, I'm so pretty. Why doesn't Brother Yu like me? Does he dislike beautiful women and only like pretty boys?" After all, why else would he rather go on a spring outing with the elegant young scions of noble families than spend even a little time flying kites with her? "The way of Heaven is to take from what has too much and give to what has too little. Pretty women tend to be a little dimwitted. Wanwan, you're a perfect example. And the more well-read a man is, the less he likes a woman who's all looks and no substance. A little white flower like you holds no appeal for Xie Yu." Princess Yang Wu looks at her with disdain and says. "Then what should I do?" Wang Wan knows she is not clever, but she is eager to improve! She can learn! So she asks anxiously, "Sister Awu, you're so smart. Can you teach me how to become a woman with substance?" Seeing how determined she is to win Xie Yu, Yang Wu's expression darkens a little. But after a moment of silence, she finally answers. "...All right." Later, Wanwan comes running back in tears and wipes her eyes in front of him, her voice full of grievance. "Waaah... Brother Yu said he doesn't like women who primp and pose! He hates me even more now!" She cries loudly, and Yang Wu, who had been nervous, finally breathes a sigh of relief. He takes two steps forward, pats her little head, and pulls her into his arms to comfort her. "Be good, Wanwan. That blockhead Xie Yu can't appreciate your beauty and sweetness. He's the one with no taste! Let's stop liking him, darling. You have to marry me someday, so you can't fall for another man." At that, Wanwan is startled and suddenly sees the truth. She looks at the flat chest in front of her, then turns to him in astonishment. "Sister Awu, you're a man!" No wonder he has never had breasts! He is tall and slim, but developed late... She used to think Yang Wu was simply blessed with a remarkable figure. She never imagined he was really a man! Yang Wu is left speechless. "...We're together every day. I thought you'd figured it out ages ago." The crown prince Yang Mu, who routinely plays two roles (the haughty, sharp-tongued, icy beauty Yang Wu), x the pure-hearted, peerlessly beautiful young noblewoman Wang Wan. Crown Prince Yang Mu has this to say: When I had no choice but to dress as a woman, the beautiful woman with a beautiful heart stole mine. Others may think she's a silly girl, but to me, she is a wise, pure-hearted, and kind-hearted beauty without equal. Mm... That's how it happened. Even though our personalities were worlds apart, we became 'close sisters' and eventually a loving married couple... Currently serializing and coming soon. Please add to your collection.
