O Soul, Return

My next book will be another story in the same genre, Sword in Hand. The blurb is at the bottom.

Blurb:

Couple: An ethereal, obsessive older woman x a dazzling, alluring younger woman who loves to cling to her

Song Jinyao accidentally opened a great door.

Beyond it, black and red filled the sky, and devastation stretched as far as the eye could see.

The black was made of chains, their cold surfaces glinting white. The red was a pool of blood, flowing silently.

Yet amid the black and red, a woman in white stood out.

Her white clothes were stained red, as if they had been soaked in blood.

For thousands upon thousands of years, blood had flowed from her body, flowing from the pipa bones pierced through her shoulders.

Everything in sight was an eerie red...

Song Jinyao, who was always cautious with people and everything else... seemed bewitched. Almost against her will, she lowered the chains that bound the woman...

Note:

Happy ending. Romance and plot develop side by side.

Sword in Hand

Couple: A charming, sharp-tongued master who could ruin a kingdom with a smile, and a proud, aloof disciple with an intense possessive streak

On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the head of the Qingyu Pavilion returned from outside with a quiet little girl.

At the Qingyu Terrace, no one spoke as the girl was about to take a master. Only Tang Qingwu held out her hand to Fu Banxue. "Hey, kid. Want to come with me?"

Everyone at the Qingyu Pavilion knew who Tang Qingwu was. She was exceptionally beautiful, a jewel on the outside, but rotten within. Half the Pavilion's bad reputation was her doing.

If it were anyone else, that would be one thing, but she happened to be the head's own daughter.

They couldn't hit her or scold her, and had to put up with her taunts.

What kind of disciple could a woman like that possibly raise?

But to everyone's surprise, eight years later, Fu Banxue's name as a fairy had spread throughout Cangzhou.

When people mentioned the Qingyu Pavilion, Fu Banxue was the first person who came to mind.

Everyone: "..."

Another Ghost Festival came around. Tang Qingwu took over as head of the Qingyu Pavilion, becoming the first woman to hold the position since the Pavilion was founded. Someone went to Qingyun Terrace to report an important matter, only to see their head pinned to the desk by her fairy-like disciple, looking aggrieved. Then her fairy disciple lowered her head and... kissed her!

Theme: Freedom and democracy.
