Blurb One

Shen Sisi, the third daughter of the Chancellor's household, had been of marriageable age for two years, yet no match had been settled. It wasn't because she was a concubine-born daughter. Though she was, her elder sister, the Crown Princess, doted on her, and she was also close friends with the Grand Princess. The two of them had made it clear: the third young lady's marriage didn't have to follow her parents' wishes. It would only count if she gave her own approval.

Yet suitor after suitor came and went, and she still couldn't bring herself to say yes.

Then one day, she met a young general on the street. He had rugged, handsome features and an easy smile. His calloused hand accidentally closed around her delicate wrist...

Later, when the general came to ask for her hand in marriage, Shen Sisi touched the red marks his rough hand had left on her wrist and, for the first time, agreed.

The Crown Princess and the Grand Princess: "Sisi, so... this is your type?"

Blurb Two

Wei Heng had joined the army at sixteen. He was skilled with every weapon, from blades and spears to clubs and arrows, and was the youngest general in the Li Dynasty.

A soldier through and through, Wei Heng was handsome but rough around the edges, and would always rather use his fists than his words. Yet even though he feared no battlefield, he was completely at a loss when it came to his little wife.

He wasn't good at being gentle, but he couldn't be rough with her either. Seeing her delicate arms and legs, he hadn't even dared to use force on their wedding night. He simply couldn't bring himself to do it.

Whenever his little wife teared up, he would pace anxiously around the room. If a tear slipped down her cheek, he would be so worried he'd start crying with her.

The officials of the Li Dynasty sighed, "Heroes may fall at the feet of beauty, but even a tough man is no match for a poor little darling. What a tragedy!"

Coming soon: The Marquis's Beloved Maid. Please add it to your favorites!

Jiang Ning was a maid to the legitimate daughter of the Shen household. She was as lovely as a water lily, with a delicate, moving beauty.

At a banquet hosted by the Shen family, the lecherous and violent Prince Zhao took one look at Jiang Ning and set his sights on her. Miss Shen had never liked Jiang Ning, so she simply went along with it.

On a dark, windy night, Jiang Ning's temple was bruised, her face deathly pale. Clutching her torn clothes, she stumbled out of the North Courtyard and crashed into someone's arms.

Backlit, Jiang Ning could only make out the handsome profile of the man. Then, like someone clinging to a lifeline, she grabbed his sleeve.

"Young master, please, save me..."

Only later did Jiang Ning learn that he was Shao Ce, the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei, a newly risen favorite at court who had just won a great military victory.

Out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's jaws. When she was sent to the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence as a gift, Jiang Ning had no choice but to accept her fate. Fortunately, this tiger didn't seem all that frightening.

Shao Ce was cold by nature. The first time his heart stirred was when that tearful, panicked face appeared in his arms beneath the night sky.

So when Miss Shen sent Jiang Ning to him, he made an exception and kept her.

He'd thought of her as just another mouth to feed. He hadn't expected her to be such a handful: timid, gentle, and frail. The most remarkable thing about her was how soft and obedient she was, enough to make anyone worry over her.

In less than three months, she'd managed to break Shao Ce of his habit of coming home late.

Whenever Shao Ce heard a servant's report and frowned "impatiently," everyone felt their teeth ache with envy, and grew even more curious about the woman in question.

But when asked about her, Shao Ce gave no answer.

Unfortunately, fate is unpredictable. Not long afterward, Shao Ce was ambushed while on an inspection tour. By the time he finally made his way back to the capital, three months had passed. During that time, he dreamed countless times that Jiang Ning was worried and panicking over his disappearance. Each time he woke, his heart ached so badly he could hardly breathe.

But when he returned home, weary from his journey, an empty room was all that awaited him...

Two years later, the Marquis of Ningyuan, who had guarded the border for years, was summoned back to the capital. It was said he'd finally found his long-lost daughter and brought her home.

At the welcoming banquet, Shao Ce watched the stranger who followed behind the marquis and bowed to him with distant formality. The cup in his hand suddenly shattered to pieces.

A sweet story, no doubt about it
