Since the Day I Fell in Love with You

Upcoming novel: "The Heroine's Garb"

Currently serialized: "I Want No One but You to Warm Me"

Twenty-year-old Du Liuyan meets Cheng Qing through a stroke of her own "luck."

After spending a long time together, all she gets from Cheng Qing is this: "My family won't let me date while I'm in college. Wait for me. Wait until we graduate."

Because of those words, Du Liuyan waits through her entire college career.

After graduation, Cheng Qing doesn't come to find her at the agreed-upon time. Just as she is disappointed and decides she won't wait any longer, that person appears before her again.

Cheng Qing says, "I'm late," and with those words, all her resentment and unhappiness fall away.

Du Liuyan is delighted to accept the warmth Cheng Qing gives her, but Cheng Qing's unusual behavior makes her realize that things aren't so simple.

Now she kind of regrets it. If she'd known things would turn out this way, she wouldn't have waited.

Third-rate painter x senior executive

Happy ending, with angst (how much angst is up to you to find out), and a groveling chase to win her back.

Everyone's welcome to come read the story, and you're welcome to join the discussion, too.

Upcoming novel: "The Heroine's Garb"

The palace is treacherous, the court is in turmoil, and everyone wants to find a promising future amid the mire. For the sake of this ambition, people kill without hesitation and betray the loyal and virtuous. In the end, nothing is left.

Even so, countless people still want to enter the palace. Jiang Yinhe is one of them.

She has no great ambitions. All she wants is to become a pharmacist in the Imperial Food Bureau.

On her way from assistant pharmacist to head pharmacist, she passes through many palace gates and encounters countless nobles and officials. She has saved countless people who were later sentenced to death.

Life in the vast imperial palace is routinely cruel. Fortunately, she meets the person she wants to spend her life with, Ming Cijun.

At the time, she follows the other woman out of the palace. "The palace may not be peaceful, but with several officials protecting you, you wouldn't be mistreated. What made you come to this place of war and bloodshed? Was it really just to see the scenery?" Though Ming Cijun says this, she is secretly pleased.

"The scenery in southern Fujian is like a painting. Why pass up the chance to see it?"

"Do you know something?"

She remembers that the other woman once asked, "If you know how dangerous it is, why not turn back?"

Back then, she thought that as long as she didn't get involved, nothing would happen. Now she understands. "When you return from the war, let's retire together to the mountains and forests."

Jiang Yinhe watches the other woman smile. "All right."

The story of a female official and a woman general.
