Beauty Among the Flowers

The new novel "Beneath the Beauty's Skirt" is now underway.

Here's the synopsis. It's short, and costs about as much as a can of soda.

The most beautiful woman in Yizhou was the beloved of Lord Zhou, the Court of Judicial Review's minister.

Sadly, she married a flirtatious heir with a white moonlight in his heart. Neglected, she died of illness behind the gauze curtains.

When Gu Linlan woke again, she had returned to the time before she was married. She discovered she had become Thumbelina, sleeping inside a lily-of-the-valley bud. A man watered her and picked bugs off her every day, tending to her as diligently as a mother hen.

She pried open the flower bud and discovered that her mother hen was none other than Lord Zhou Yifang, the minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who had always opposed the heir in her past life.

Whenever he touched her flower bud or brushed it with the tip of his nose, Gu Linlan would go all soft. He had to smell her every day, and it drove her into a fluster.

-

One day, Lord Zhou, burdened with official duties, sniffed his flower and discovered something astonishing.

A beautiful little woman had stepped out of the flower he was raising.

Her legs were long and her waist slender, and she wore nothing but a dress made of flower petals.

The little woman sat on the flower and pressed her soft white hand against the tip of his nose. Her face red, she said, "...Please stop smelling me."

If you smell me again, I'll melt!

A little scene on how the flower and its caretaker see things differently:

The flowers wither in winter.

Gu Linlan: Should I cling to my mother hen's sturdy, furry leg to stay alive?

Zhou Yifang: It's getting cold. Should I fatten her up, add charcoal, sew her a quilt, move her somewhere warmer, and have her sleep by my pillow...? It's getting cold. Time to send the heir's family to prison.

#I grew a flower into a wife, and I'm proud of it

#My wife can fit in my pocket. Can yours?

Both are each other's first, one-on-one. The male and female leads are both stunningly beautiful. Beauty, beauty, beauty, that's the whole point. The female lead's golden finger is being beautiful, soft, and adorable!

Completed novel: "The Chief Secretary's Wife Is a Demon Cat"

Upcoming novel "Beneath the Beauty's Skirt" is available on my author page:

Xie Jiu was a Yangzhou singing girl. Because she never learned how to please men, she went hungry every day. Her greatest wish was simply to eat her fill.

One day, a new beauty arrived at the compound. He was beautiful, but so starved that even his chest was flat. Xie Jiu liked his face, so she would secretly save him pastries, even if it meant going hungry herself.

But nobody told her what was beneath a beauty's skirt.

Song Rong was the current assistant chief secretary. To rescue innocent women, he disguised himself as a woman and infiltrated the tiger's den, only to be rejected because he was too tall.

He thought things would be miserable, but there was a silly girl who went hungry every day to bring him food. He watched her take pastries from inside her top to secretly help him, and watched her get beaten and starved because she couldn't please men.

Song Rong thought she was an idiot, so he taught her how to please men.

In the end, Xie Jiu didn't fall for him. He fell for her instead.

On their wedding night, he showed her what was beneath his beautiful skirt.

Her best sister turned out to be a man. Xie Jiu cried for three days and nights before running away.

Later, everyone in Jinling knew that Lord Song's wife had run away, and that the legitimate daughter of the prominent Xie family had been found.

Little scene:

Song Rong held her foot in his hands. "My lady, give me a chance."

Xie Jiu blushed. "But I only ever thought of you as my sister."

Both are each other's first, one-on-one. Sweetness passed down through the generations.

Theme: No matter how hard life gets, you deserve to have your own little sunshine!
