Red Leaves

Old-school, over-the-top melodramatic romance. Extremely ridiculous, extremely brainless, and terribly written. Enter at your own risk!!!

Simple version:

The heroine falls in love with the hero, but he doesn't love her and has someone else in his heart. She loves him until it breaks her, then, after he misunderstands her, she loses all hope and finally gives up. The hero comes to his senses and realizes he has loved her all along. In the end, he wins her back, HE.

Serious version:

She falls to the ground in Hualin Garden, surrounded only by people watching the spectacle.

He shines like the sun as he reaches out to help her.

She falls in love with him, prays to Buddha for him, runs away from her wedding for him, and twists her heart into knots for him. She dances in Hualin Garden for him alone.

She gives everything she has, but it still cannot compare to a single glance from someone else. When they meet again, she is forced into a marriage alliance, only to discover that she has married him, the crown prince of a foreign land.

She thinks heaven has granted her a blessing, never realizing that the story is only just beginning.

On their wedding night, he is cold and distant. She is the crown princess he married for the sake of his country, and he has no choice but to accept her. He can give her status, rank, and glory, but he cannot give her love.

Until at last, the pearl turns to a fish's eye, and her sincere love is worn away...

With tears in her eyes, she chokes out: "Perhaps I should have realized sooner that falling in love with you was a mistake."

Upcoming novel: Singing Freely

Simple version:

The hero and heroine meet ten years ago, and the heroine secretly falls for him. But fate has other plans: after his family is struck by disaster, a twist of fate sends him into the palace, where he becomes a eunuch.

Ten years later, they meet again. The heroine disguises herself as a man and becomes a celebrated young general, while the hero earns the emperor's trust and becomes the fearsome Director Wen, a powerful figure at court.

The hero recognizes the heroine at first sight, but doesn't dare reveal himself. He can only keep his feelings hidden, watching over her from the shadows like moss in a dark corner, and helping her.

After the heroine realizes that she likes him, she launches into a bold and shameless campaign to win him over...

Literary version:

She is a young hero; he is a powerful eunuch.

She is bold and proud; he is humble and appreciative of talent.

She is young, reckless, and fearless; he is proper and courteous, gentle as jade.

History has many accounts of their love. Whether shocking or scandalous, praised or condemned, people may talk all they like. What can rumors really do?

Warnings:

① This is an entirely fictional setting, with things from all sorts of dynasties, even poems from the Republic of China era. The dynasties, place names, and official posts are all made up by me. If it takes you out of the story, feel free to drop it.

② The hero is a real eunuch.

③ I left school before finishing middle school and went straight to work. My writing is terrible, the plot is stupid, the logic is a mess, and I love melodrama. If you don't like it, drop it. Don't force yourself to keep reading.

Theme: Don't speak too absolutely. Things can swing to the opposite extreme, and you might end up eating your words.
