Swallows on the Ridge Beam

[Blurb]

Li Zhouqiu, the brave and battle-hardened female general of Zhao'an, died in battle.

Well, she died, and that should have been the end of it. But after her bones had turned to dust and been buried, some lousy System brought her back to life.

Li Zhouqiu stares solemnly at the fat parrot in front of her, so fat its wings can barely flap. This ugly thing is what brought her back?

Parrot System, which can hear Li Zhouqiu's thoughts: ...Don't be mad, don't be mad. I'm a System, I don't get mad.

The fat Parrot System swallows its anger and earnestly lectures her. "Host, I brought you back to life so you could stop Zhou Jiangman from turning evil! Zhou Jiangman is ruthless and has killed countless people. You have to win her over with love. You can't let her become a sinner and derail the plot!"

Li Zhouqiu isn't impressed. Tch, what kind of trouble can that crybaby little bean sprout cause?

The year Li Zhouqiu died, the pampered Princess Zhou Jiangman fell off a cliff and shattered both knees. Countless renowned doctors flocked to the princess's mansion in the capital, only to flee one after another, clutching their heads.

It was hopeless. The princess's legs really were ruined.

But none of them dared say so. The last person who'd blurted it out had been a fool with no filter, and the princess had cut his throat with a single sword stroke.

Zhou Jiangman knows what people say about her: she's cruel and unpredictable.

But she doesn't care. The only person she cared about died six years ago. She just has to heal her legs. She knows that person loved people with long legs, a strong waist, and a good figure.

Looking like this now... she wouldn't dare seek her out even in the underworld.

Later, a renowned doctor arrives at the princess's mansion. This doctor is unlike all the others who had entered the household trembling with fear.

Not only does she treat the princess's mansion like her own home, strolling into the princess's private quarters as if no one were there, she also keeps provoking the princess into fits of rage.

Everyone in the mansion holds their breath and watches anxiously.

But they wait and wait, and the short-tempered princess still doesn't cut the woman's throat with her sword.

·A melodramatic, outrageous story with no logic and no real-life inspirations.

·The setting is a chaotic fictional world that isn't based on any particular dynasty. Everything serves the plot, so please don't overanalyze it.

[Coming soon: Married First, Love Later]

The Qin and Lin families form a marriage alliance, pairing Qin Xinan with Lin An.

On their first night of marriage, Lin An abandons Qin Xinan under the pretext of work and doesn't return until three days later, when Old Madam Lin forces her back.

Six months into their marriage, Lin An is still sleeping in the guest room and avoiding Qin Xinan at every turn.

Rumors say Lin An has a white moonlight in her heart.

Qin Xinan curls her red lips and sneers. "Who cares?"

*

Lin An does have a white moonlight in her heart. She's beautiful, sexy, and lofty, someone Lin An can admire but never reach.

Lin An fell for her at first sight and hasn't been able to let go for years.

Later, that white moonlight becomes her wife.

On their first day of marriage, Lin An is so nervous her hands shake, and she runs away in a pathetic panic.

Three days later, once she's calmed down, she regrets it and uses Old Madam Lin as an excuse to return to the bridal suite. Thank goodness, her wife is still there.

Six months into their marriage, Lin An's heart races whenever she sees Qin Xinan. The more she wants to get close, the more afraid she is, so she can only watch timidly from a distance.

Until one day, her white moonlight slips into her room at night and smiles seductively. "I heard there's a white moonlight in your heart?"

"What a coincidence. I have one too."
