The Fortune-Teller Peers into Heaven's Secrets

My historical danmei novel, The Riverlands Drunk, is currently updating next door. I've put its blurb below, and I've put a lot of care into writing it. Come give it a look, folks! *clinks dog bowl*

It seems the author is earnestly telling a story about love and ghosts and monsters, with a somewhat silly style.

Blurb:

The youngest son of the Duke of Liang's household is kidnapped and dies an innocent death. The Court of Judicial Review is in charge of the investigation, but makes no headway and reaches an impasse. Even the officials handling the case are replaced for their poor work.

The duke's eldest son, Liang Enze, is as elegant as a jade tree and as poised as bamboo. He visits the Court of Judicial Review every day to press them for an update.

This time, Liang Enze is finally told, "The case has been solved."

Liang Enze is kind and compassionate, his eyes brimming with tears. "Who solved it?"

The little hoodlum who's been hanging around him these past few days says, "Yue Xiaoyan, acting head of the Court of Judicial Review."

Liang Enze asks, "Who is Yue Xiaoyan?" He must be much more capable than this good-for-nothing hoodlum beside me.

The hoodlum's expression changes several times. "I'm Yue Xiaoyan."

How could he not stay by Liang Enze's side? Whenever work allows, he has to check in on him, just to be sure.

As a victim's family member, Liang Enze knows nothing about the unknown world. He has to be protected from being fooled.

Liang Enze is worried sick about his missing younger brother. He has to be kept from breaking down in tears.

Liang Enze has an iron constitution. Keeping him by my side means he'll be safe!

In a world full of strange ghostly happenings, watch them join hands and explore this uncanny realm of mortals.

Reader's guide:

1. The characters don't defy fate or have absurdly powerful golden fingers. They simply have pure hearts.

2. The story is made up of several interconnected supernatural cases.

3. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

4. Weibo: Ling Xiaoshuai, who raises a cup to his hometown.

I'm working hard on my next novel, The Riverlands Drunk, a political intrigue drama with a serious tone. Please add it to your list, folks! *clinks dog bowl*

A ruthless, duplicitous, incorrigible general gong x a changeable, reserved, lovesick imperial grandson shou.

Blurb:

Xiao Tang was once a free-spirited young playboy.

He fished and rode horses across the snowy northern plains, and slacked off in the martial arts grounds at the private school.

But the past is fragile, and in a single night his family was destroyed.

Cast aside, Xiao Tang is no longer the heir he once was.

Filthy and covered in blood, he carries a peerless, deadly curse. When he opens his eyes, he seems to be staring at the end of his life.

But before he reaches the execution ground at the marketplace, a young commander breaks him out along the way, acting in the name of political advantage.

"He's a discarded pawn, but his illness can be cured!"

Lin Wentian, an officer in the vanguard, has a headache of a task on his hands.

Though the discarded heir is obedient and sensible, the wind refuses to die down, and someone keeps causing trouble for him.

How could a child raised carefree within the palace walls face the blades and shadows of court politics?

Lin Wentian is hailed as a god of war and wants to restore the realm, but every step is difficult.

But even a puppy has fangs, and innocence is only a disguise.

By the time Lin Wentian realizes it, Xiao Tang's canine teeth are already at his neck.

Instead of a vicious bite, he feels a tender lick.

Xiao Tang murmurs into the hollow of his neck, "Stop being my junior uncle. Be my lover instead?"

Lin Wentian gives an awkward laugh. "Xiao Tang, there's too much at stake for me. I'm practically being fed to the wolves."

"Don't rush to feed yourself to the wolves," Xiao Tang says softly. "Let's do our part and settle our romantic debts with each other first."

A chill runs down the back of Lin Wentian's neck, and his tongue stumbles over his words. "How are you going to settle them?"

"You've flirted with me countless times, and I'd fight for you. But now it's your turn," Xiao Tang says with a wicked pause. "You have to spend the night with me."

Fill the cup again, and change the music. Nothing has changed, but people's hearts have.

I pity you most when you dance at midnight; they say a man's heart is iron until death.

Watch me try my hand at mending the rift in the sky.

From Xin Qiji's "He Xin Lang"

Reader's guide:

1. This is a serious drama. The gong is a shameless, infuriating bastard, a troublemaker with a wicked heart and a beastly nature. The shou also wants to be a good person, but later turns into a scoundrel too.

2. They each have something important to seek and protect.

3. An ensemble story, with an icy third male lead and a stunningly beautiful fourth male lead.

4. Weibo: Ling Xiaoshuai, who raises a cup to his hometown. Come visit!

Theme: Trust each other and help each other become whole.
