The Stars Can't Compare to You

Complete. Originally titled There's Sugar in Your Words. Bonus chapters currently updating.

When Xing Zizhen was 20, he poured beer over Jekkie, who was drunk out of his mind in a bar.

And so Xing Zizhen, who had always kept his head down and worked humbly, learned to lift his head and admire the stars.

Later, Jekkie became the brightest star of all, and the one Xing Zizhen most wanted to pluck from the sky.

It turns out that all the nights I endured were only to climb the ladder to heaven and draw closer to you, radiant as you are.

I chased the light with all my heart. With you shining beside me, I was changed by you, bit by bit. (From the lyrics of "Influence" by Chen Li)

Quick-witted rapper X an insecure stutterer (Warning: the heroine is very insecure. Don't read if you dislike that.)

P.S. I'm an outsider to rap, but I thought the industry made a good setting for the characters.

New novel: The Feast of Songs

Ni Ge, daughter of the former prime minister of Great Qi, leaves her hometown intending to seek refuge with her cousin in Chu Jing City, Nan Bi. One night, however, she is kidnapped and taken to the General's residence. Ni Ge has this to say: "The General's residence is nice. It's just that its master is really annoying."

General Shen: "Then get out!"

Ni Ge: "All right."

Later, General Shen risks his life on the battlefield for her and accompanies her home to kill the king.

Later still, she cuts through thousands of soldiers and horses, finding General Shen, covered in blood, amid a kingdom-wide struggle for power.

She arrives drenched in blood, like a god of war. Seated calmly on her tall horse, she smiles brightly: "Shen Yan'an, I've come to save you."

General Shen, who had always believed his unattainable love was a delicate woman, is stunned.

I have no home to return to and no country to call my own. Wherever you are, that is home.

A two-faced, heartless woman X a loyal man who says one thing but means another
