Little Sweetheart

My new novel, My Lady Won't Do It Anymore, is now available. Please do me the humble favor of adding it to your favorites.

Chu Deng is the most beloved princess of the Qi emperor. She is innocent, lively, and has a personality that should make her popular, yet everyone in the palace avoids her like the plague.

By the age of seventeen, she has not met a single person she can confide in.

Fortunately, Chu Deng later meets a beauty in the Bronze Sparrow Tower. He is lovely in appearance and gentle and kind in temperament, so Chu Deng becomes like a sister to him.

She sneaks into the Bronze Sparrow Tower every day, sleeping beside him and staying by his side without a moment apart.

But he is often badly injured, which pains her deeply.

Only later does Chu Deng discover that the wounds were inflicted by her imperial uncle, the emperor, who whipped him again and again.

Watching the beauty on the verge of death, she finally decides to help him escape.

Chu Deng does everything she can to set him free.

--

After the deposed crown prince of Wei, Feng Yuanling, is sent to Qi as a hostage, the Qi emperor humiliates him by forcing him to wear women's clothes.

He endures the humiliation so he can kill all his enemies and reclaim the throne.

Later, as he hears Chu Deng call him "Older Sister" again and again, he begins to want to take her for himself.

He puts on a gentle, kind front around her, using sweet words to coax her into pitying him and falling for him.

In the end, he gets what he wants.

But the little princess refuses to leave with him.

--

The first thing Feng Yuanling does after returning to Wei as its new emperor is reorganize the army and crush Qi.

When Wei's iron cavalry enters the Qi palace, the palace servants offer Chu Deng up to Feng Yuanling. In terror, she realizes that this man's face looks just like that of the woman she helped escape.

Feng Yuanling lifts her chin with a finger and smiles. "I killed your uncle. Now I am your master."

A few warnings!

(1) The imperial uncle is really, really awful!

(2) The heroine is a sweet little darling. The hero is a vicious, cunning, vindictive cross-dresser who is good at disguising his weakness.

(3) Both leads are virgins! One-on-one romance! Happy ending!

-----------Please add my upcoming novel, The Useless Beauty, to your favorites---------

(The hero and heroine are not blood-related!)

Shen Qingyan has a secret: she is supposedly the illegitimate "son" of the Earl's household, but she is a girl.

From the moment she was born, her concubine mother dressed her as a boy.

Her mother urged her to do everything she could to climb the social ladder, hoping she would marry into a prestigious family.

A sparrow will always be a sparrow.

Shen Qingyan never applied herself to her studies and inherited only her mother's devastatingly beautiful face.

In other people's eyes, she is all looks and no substance.

She wants to meet the young noblemen, but has no one to introduce her.

Then one day, she sees her cousin Gu Mingyuan getting along with the heir of the Marquis of Yong'an.

Her cousin comes from the direct line of a Duke's family. He is refined and handsome, cold in temperament, and passed the imperial exams with top honors as a young man. By the time he came of age, he had risen to the post of Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, making him far more impressive than an unsuccessful illegitimate "son" like her.

Though she is intimidated, Shen Qingyan still shamelessly begs her cousin to take her along to see the world.

Under her cousin's imposing presence, she finally gets her chance. But after meeting the heir, she realizes that people of such noble status are truly difficult to approach. She is even mocked by one of his attendants.

She cries for a long time in front of her cousin that day. He says nothing and takes her back to the estate.

Afterward, she often clings to her cousin, and his gaze grows increasingly intense.

One day, she finally realizes that her cousin has developed an improper desire for her.

But Shen Qingyan wants to use his influence to get close to the heir.

She awkwardly flirts with her cousin, saying things that could be taken more than one way and begging him to take her to meet the heir.

Her cousin grows increasingly cold toward her, yet lets her follow him to meet people.

Just as she thinks she is about to rise to the top,

her true identity is exposed.

It turns out she is not the Earl's illegitimate "son."

She is just a bastard.

She is cast out of the Earl's household and can no longer enjoy its prestige. People scorn her, and she has nowhere to go.

When she is at her wit's end, she sees Gu Mingyuan again. He stands before her like a bright moon and a gentle breeze, a smile playing on his lips as he reaches out to her.

She hands him her own almost desperately. He lifts her into his arms and hides her away in a secluded estate.

Pretty little airhead x aloof beauty (devious and cunning)

Notes!

(1) The hero and heroine are not blood-related. The heroine is the daughter of a concubine of the hero's distant maternal uncle (not the uncle's child).

(2) One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins!

---New novel: My Lady Won't Do It Anymore---

When Yu Wanyao marries Lu Heng, she is told that she must bear a child for the Lu family. The baby's umbilical cord blood will be used to save Lu Heng's sickly younger sister, who is not related to him by blood.

Yu Wanyao knows she is not worthy of the Lu family.

The Lu family is illustrious, and Lu Heng is the legitimate son of the Marquis of Weiyuan and holds the post of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. His future is bright.

His younger sister is the long-lost daughter of the Duke of Ying, raised in luxury by Lu Heng's stepmother since childhood. It is only a matter of time before the Duke of Ying claims her.

Yu Wanyao is merely the adopted daughter of a salt merchant in Jiangnan. Her adoptive father and brother have been framed for selling illegal salt and thrown in prison. They could be sentenced to death at any moment.

She needs Lu Heng to clear their names.

She and Lu Heng are simply using each other. Lu Heng is cold and aloof, distant and indifferent. He only enters her bedchamber on a set date each month and never stays the night.

Even so, she does her best to maintain a peaceful appearance. Once she has given birth, she has no objection if he wants a divorce.

Later, she finally becomes pregnant. It should be a happy occasion, but she accidentally learns the truth:

If the child is born, it will not survive.

She will no longer be useful as his wife, and will have to give way to his younger sister. She will be demoted from wife to servant, then sold off.

In the bleak night wind, she boards a ship bound for Jiangnan. When she looks back, she sees a man running along the shore, calling for her to return.

Yu Wanyao wipes away her tears but decides to make things clear. "I won't be your wife anymore. I'm going back to Jiangnan. We owe each other nothing."

But he keeps calling her hoarsely. This man is too strange, alternately cold and warm. She has never been able to understand him, and no longer wants to.

When the ship sinks, Lu Heng plunges into the water.

**

The Lu family's madam is gone. Lu Heng falls gravely ill and becomes a widower.

Half a year later, the Duke of Ying finds his true daughter. At a spring banquet, Lu Heng meets her. She is alluring and noble, contentedly enjoying the attentions of the man beside her, without sparing Lu Heng a single glance.

(2) Aloof hero x delicate Jiangnan beauty (the true heiress)

(3) One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending

(4) Please don't scold the author, please don't scold the author. I'm begging you.

Theme: Love makes people happy
