The Pearl Princess (Reborn)

My new story, The Big Orange Comes First, is now underway. Come take a look, lovely readers!

In her previous life, Rong Shu was in love with the heir to the Marquis of Pingyuan. At her younger sister’s urging, she fled an arranged marriage to the Crown Prince of Northern Yan, took her sister’s name, and married into the Marquis of Pingyuan’s household. After spending three years like a caged bird, she was used as a bargaining chip and pushed by the man she loved straight into the enemy’s blades.

When she opened her eyes again, Rong Shu had been reborn to the time before the marriage alliance. She was still the most honored eldest princess of Great Wei.

Rong Shu decided to obediently go through with the marriage.

She knew the heir to the Marquis of Pingyuan only loved her younger sister. Everything he had done was merely part of a charade arranged by her sister. She also knew that the Crown Prince of Northern Yan, Mu He, whom she was to marry, would one day lead his army to conquer Great Wei and become the ruler who united the realm.

So she thought that only by becoming the treasured jewel in Mu He's heart could she protect her homeland.

Mu He had thought the marriage alliance would be nothing more than a formality. But after they were married, he heard the sweet-voiced eldest princess call him “husband” every day, and found himself more at ease than ever before, in both body and mind.

Then one day, he happened to open the storybook Rong Shu read twice every day and found the plot strangely familiar. Even the dialogue in the book was exactly the same as the sweet words Rong Shu had said to him a few days earlier?

Mu He: Who wrote this storybook? Find them and reward them handsomely!

Later, Mu He realized that the admiration and affection in his wife's eyes were all because of his handsome face? The crown prince was deeply displeased. “My jewel, what would you do if I got a scar on my face one day?”

Thinking of the dangers of swords on the battlefield, Rong Shu decided he was not worrying for no reason. She raised a hand to caress his cheek and gazed deeply into his peach-blossom eyes, which were tender even when he was not smiling. “Wear a mask.”

Coming soon from the neighboring shelf, The Dignity of Childhood Sweethearts (Transmigrated into a Book):

Wen Ying transmigrated into a book written by the classmate who sat two seats ahead of her.

That classmate was wonderful in every way, except she was hopeless at naming things.

So Wen Ying stared at a world that looked like fan fiction about her own friend group and fell into deep thought.

Her best friend was a pampered little princess. Her best friend's brother was a young emperor who worked for his people. Her childhood friend had become a celebrated young general. And the childhood sweetheart she had bickered with since they were little had become... her fiance?

Thinking of how, in the original story, she was a love-struck second female lead determined to come between the hero and heroine, Wen Ying decisively turned around and latched onto her childhood friend's coattails.

Before transmigrating into the book: “Gu Qingzhi, get out of my way!”

After transmigrating into the book: “Brother Qingzhi, I missed you so much today!”

Gu Qingzhi: ...Well, since you like me so much, I suppose I can accept you.

Wen Ying, who would do anything to latch onto someone's coattails

Gu Qingzhi, who thinks she must like him, likes him best, couldn't possibly not like him, and will kill anyone who says she doesn't like him

Latest completed story: Moon Over the River

Mu Huai, the new emperor of Great Yan, had a secret everyone knew.

The one he loved was Princess Jinyan of Jin, who had taken her elder brother's place as a hostage and endured fifteen years in the imperial palace of Yan.

And the current empress of Great Yan was no more than a figurehead.

Empress Jiang Ningling knew this perfectly well.

But unable to let go of the obsession in her heart since her youth, she entered the palace and married him, despite knowing he loved someone else.

After entering the palace, Jiang Ningling pretended not to know about his beloved and stayed by his side. She almost managed to deceive even herself.

Until she learned that the new emperor was willing to give up Jin's annual taxes and tributes just to make Jinyan smile; until she learned Jinyan would enter the palace as a consort; until she learned she had never once caught his eye.

Jiang Ningling came to her senses.

What was the point of staying with a worthless man? She might as well fake her death and disappear.

The new emperor had married Jiang Ningling only because her face resembled that of his beloved.

She was merely a substitute, and the emperor was sure his heart was as still as an ancient well.

But when Jinyan stood before him, the emperor looked at her face, which did not resemble Jiang Ningling's in the slightest. For the first time, the young ruler, who could remain unruffled even as Mount Tai crumbled before him, truly panicked.

Coming soon: The Chancellor's Sweetness

Ever since her seventeenth birthday, Qingning had been able to smell a different scent on everyone around her.

Her father never smiled and always looked stern, yet he smelled of childishly sweet-and-sour tangerines. Her mother was gentle and kind, with the lovely fragrance of a peach.

But the newly favored Consort Cui, who usually wore layer upon layer of scented powder, had a rotten pear smell beneath it all.

Qingning wrinkled her nose, realizing she seemed able to see through the layers people used to hide their other selves.

It was nothing bad, until Qingning realized that the current chancellor, as cold as snow atop a heavenly mountain and as aloof and ethereal as an immortal, had a faint, delicate sweetness about him that she simply couldn't resist.
