Blurb for this novel, Court Officials:

Shen Changying's life ended in a fire, and began in a fire.

After lying low for many years, she finally gets a chance to approach the Seventh Prince and climb to the pinnacle of power in Dachang.

She walks alongside him through every obstacle, killing old enemies, campaigning on the battlefield, and debating the masses, treading over a trail of bones to help him ascend the throne.

She is Dachang's first female chancellor, a former court official, and the new emperor's beloved.

"I, your subject, swear to follow Your Majesty to the death. I shall devote myself to the very end."

"I swear to follow Shen, my beloved subject, to the death. Heaven and earth bear witness to my heart, and the sun and moon shall attest to it."

I know you've endured hardship after hardship, and that you live with such freedom and abandon. Even so, I still want to protect you.

Reader's Guide: 1. I won't abandon this or give it a bad ending. I really, really won't. 2. The romance isn't angsty. The story focuses on political intrigue, and the relationship develops slowly and steadily. 3. The historical setting is entirely fictional, so fictional that the details aren't worth picking apart.

4. Both leads are each other's first. 5. Updates daily. I'll take a day off if something comes up. If an update doesn't arrive on the hour, it's because I'm fixing typos.

---- Blurb for the new novel, A Flirtatious Rogue ----

When people talk about the Seventh Princess of Dasheng, the first word that comes to mind is: flirtatious.

This princess doesn't crave fine wine or delicious food. She only adores beautiful people.

Gender doesn't matter, but they must be attractive. And merely being good-looking isn't enough; they have to be exceptionally beautiful.

One beautiful person after another is brought into Wanfugong, but not one of them stays there for even a day.

Just as people finally get used to it,

Wanfugong falls quiet.

Jiang Jin knows it's an illness, but she can't help herself.

She doesn't have many interests in life. She simply loves people with beautiful faces.

She doesn't mistreat the beauties she acquires. She treats them well, paints their portraits, and then sends them out of the palace, yet people call her a "flirtatious rogue."

As time goes by, it becomes harder and harder to find beauties who catch her eye.

So she decides to disguise herself as a man and sneak out of the palace to look. Before she can even leave the city, she runs into the carriage of some mysterious master.

When she sees the person seated inside, only four words remain in her mind: beauty beyond compare.

Why bother leaving the city to search?

The person before her is worth ten thousand beauties.

A love story between two peerless beauties.

(The female lead is deeply fixated on beauty, to the point that it's almost an illness.)
