Blurb:
Three years ago, Prince Jing, Murong Ye, narrowly escaped death in a battle for the throne and hid in a small courtyard down an alley to recover. One day, a mother and daughter moved into the long-empty courtyard next door. His attendant asked what they should do. Without even raising his eyelids, Murong Ye replied, "Kill them and bury them."
The next day, a delicate little beauty stumbled into Murong Ye's room, her face wet with tears. "Uncle, there are bad people outside."
Murong Ye: "..."

Xiao Xixi, the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Jingguo's household, was sweet and charming, with exceptional beauty. When she returned to the family and claimed her birthright, she caused quite a stir. Her parents doted on her, her grandmother treasured her, and her two older brothers turned into overprotective sister-con lovers.
After a palace coup, the throne changed hands, and Prince Regent Murong Ye took control of the realm. He was about to visit her family to ask for her hand when the little beauty said, "My parents can't bear to see me marry. They're going to find me a husband who'll marry into my family."
Murong Ye: "..."
A sweet, everyday romance.
Blurb for A Lady Named Lin in the Capital:
Lin Jianjian was born into a merchant family. She was wealthy, beautiful, and concerned with appearances.
At sixteen, she went to great lengths to marry the son of a Minister of Revenue, convinced she'd landed the respectable marriage everyone envied. But her husband loved someone else and barely looked at her during their three years of marriage.
Her husband's family despised her, her own family worried for her, and her husband was intimate with the woman he loved. Lin Jianjian decided she'd made a terrible deal.
One night, while staying at a mountain temple, she encountered a scholar dressed in white, tall and graceful, with peerless looks. Lin Jianjian paused and glanced back. I want to... have my way with him.
The next day, the Palace Guard Bureau arrived at her home on official business. She looked up and met the gaze of a black-robed military officer standing with a sword in his arms. Lin Jianjian hurriedly hid her face behind a fan. "Sir, you must have... mistaken me for someone else."
After her divorce, Lin Jianjian devoted herself to her career and made money hand over fist. The feared Commander was devoted to her, a carefree prince considered her a kindred spirit, and a princess and a noble consort became her close friends.
When she heard that her ex-husband had failed the imperial examinations, Lin Jianjian sent him a letter: I hear you failed the exams. I am delighted.

Jiang Shu, Commander of the Palace Guard Bureau, was known as the cold-faced King of Hell. He was calculating and ruthless. The one thing he could never forget was how a woman had once tricked him and taken his innocence.
Day one: I'll skin her alive!
One month later: She's divorced? Of course she's up to no good.
Six months later: I'm going to see her today. Should I wear white?
One year later: It's just kneeling on an abacus. You tell me, how many hours?
Lin Jianjian: After my divorce, I just want to shine on my own and focus on my career.
Jiang Shu: A fierce guard dog at first, a cuddly puppy later.
Theme: Lovely girls deserve to be cherished

In novels, innocent and kind-hearted girls can always meet Mr. Right, but in reality they only get sucked up and deeply hurt. Well…
Oops, is this Queen Mother too idle? She wants to match up the male protagonist with her sister.
It's too late today and too short!
There seems to be no difference between the heroine's father and whether he has one or not.
What a disgusting emperor, Xiao Min is probably poisoned by the same poison as the male protagonist.
"I won't leave" is a big bug for the author~ It's getting late
This woman is not worthy of being the queen mother.
Ahhhh, the second female lead has more scenes than the female lead. When will we see the male and female leads share the same screen?
The parents are so sweet together.
