My other novel, Records of Romance in Nanqing, is now available. Welcome to check it out: a cool, straightforward woman and a lovesick, reserved man in an intense game of push and pull.
The ninth prince of Qin, Yu Manqing, was a brave and accomplished warrior. By the age of twenty, she had already earned great military honors. After years of fighting a major war against Xijing and finally subduing the barbarians, she was jubilantly returning to the capital when an imperial decree ordered her to supervise repairs to a river channel. By a twist of fate, she switched identities with a ninth-rank county magistrate on his way to take up a post in a remote backwater.
There is a saying in Qingze County: “The advisors are ironclad, but the magistrates come and go.” Yu Manqing refuses to believe it. If this backwater breeds unruly people, then she'll deal with its infamous troublemaking advisor herself. If the woman won't submit, she'll beat her into submission and show her that Yu Manqing didn't earn the name Hellraiser Nine for nothing.
But later, she just couldn't bring herself to hit her anymore...
The general-prince, who pretends to be a bully but is really a doting husband, VS the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted advisor, a woman disguised as a man who is as sweet and timid as a little bunny inside and out
P.S. Two or three cases will be woven into the middle of the story to connect with the main plot. There's romance alongside the investigations, and it won't get in the way. If you like it, remember to add it to your favorites!
Blurb for Records of Romance in Nanqing:
They say Xue, the lady of Yong'an Lane, must have had the luck of a dog to find such a handsome young man simply by stepping out to empty the night soil.
A few of the female bandits in the lane tried to barge in and take a look. The little courtyard was barely big enough for a palm, yet somehow it seemed to go on forever. When the women returned, they had all gone mad.
So the rumors grew wilder and wilder. Everyone said that Xue made her living in a filthy place, so she must have picked up something unclean. How could such a handsome young man exist in this world? He had to be some mountain spirit or demon in disguise,
who would drain her of her vital essence.
She didn't know about him draining her vital essence, but she did know he was draining her purse.
Today he wanted sweet rice cakes from the east side of town. Tomorrow he wanted the Eight-Treasure Duck from Tianxiang Tower. The day after, he might want a snow-silk robe from White Crane Tower, along with a matching set of pear-blossom hairpins.
After playing along for a few days, Xue Nanyu looked at her dwindling savings and finally couldn't take it anymore.
“Curator, please think it over. How about finding someone else to fleece?”
Both leads have hidden identities. The story begins in the martial world and later moves to the imperial capital. If you're impatient, feel free to wait until it's all out.
The heroine may have other men, but in body and heart, she ultimately belongs to the hero.
Blurb for Song of Wanwan Qingluo in the Clouds:
Buddhism speaks of seven kinds of suffering: birth, old age, illness, death, meeting those one resents, parting from those one loves, and failing to obtain what one desires. Birth, aging, illness, and death are part of life, and in time they no longer seem so painful. But when it comes to love, if it does not go as one wishes until the end of one's days, it is sure to break one's heart and haunt one with regret for half a lifetime.
One is a grand princess who holds power over the realm. One is a county lady uniquely favored by the imperial family. One is the youngest daughter, cherished by the imperial tutor of two dynasties. The three most honored women in the Great Zhou Dynasty should have been born privileged and lived happy lives. Yet just as they first learned the taste of love, they met the tribulations fate had prepared for them. From then on, like moths flying into a flame, they could no longer be carefree.
P.S. A mix of sorrow and joy, but the overall tone is angsty.

Pre-release novel, A Journey with Love, please add it to your favorites:
They say people are never satisfied. Greed, curiosity, and fickleness are sins that can never be washed away.
Before she won Lu Cheng'an's heart, Li Xin'ai had only one thought: to build a wall and keep her Brother Cheng forever locked inside her castle.
But she never expected that she would be the first to step beyond that wall, greedy for the world outside.
Looking at the person in the middle of the mourning hall, still smiling brightly, she knew her happiness had reached its end.
If Heaven gave her another chance, she'd rather never have gotten involved with him.
She only wanted him to live happily.
After returning to the country, Lu Cheng'an discovered one thing: the little girl who had clung to him five years ago had suddenly grown up.
He really shouldn't have taken those childish words seriously.
He had stayed faithful to her all these years, wasting all that anticipation for nothing.
But why did it bother him so much whenever another man got close to her?
It was like he'd drunk gallons of aged vinegar, the sourness rising up in waves.
Never mind, he'd just test the waters first. He refused to believe the girl truly had no feelings for him anymore.

I feel so frustrated qaq Is the heroine taking advantage of the hero? Use him as a shield
Speechless, this heroine has been enduring, is she a Ninja Turtle?
The male protagonist has already fallen into trouble, but the progress of the female protagonist's strategy is still unknown.
The hero should take advantage of the heroine's breakup to warm her up! Comfort her! Let her fall in love with you!
If the male protagonist is so angry, will he desperately search for that medicinal ingredient if he doesn't know what's good? I'm speechless about the idea of a female supporting role.
The heroine knew that what she said at that time hurt the hero, but she didn't explain it. She also thought that the hero was hers. What kind of weird brain circuit?
I feel aggrieved for the male protagonist. I don't understand why he likes the female protagonist so much. Alas.
The male protagonist is too quick to move.
When I saw this, I felt that the writing was simply a scam. After forty chapters, the female protagonist still treated the male protagonist as a stranger, suspected and scheming in every possible way, and still had a white moonlight in her heart, while the male protagonist was a paranoid licker. Does it have anything to do with the copywriter's beloved husband, the general?
So who does Yu Li love? Ahhh~ Is there any story about this pair of deputy CPs? I really like this kind of sadomasochistic love.
