Red-Sleeved Hands

Announcement: The novel goes premium on Friday, July 29!

Chancellor Du Rufu loves his daughter more than life itself.

To keep her away from the power struggles among the capital's nobility,

he went to great lengths to fake her death.

From then on, the capital no longer had the otherworldly Miss Du,

while Lotus Town in Jiangnan gained a village girl of unknown origins.

*

One day,

the village girl rescued an injured man while gathering herbs.

He wore a bewitching face,

and looked gentle and kind,

but in truth he was the biggest villain in the martial world.

A story about doing a good deed and getting taken advantage of for it.

Villainous cult leader vs. ethereal heroine

Reading guide: One couple, one true, bona fide villainous hero.

My upcoming novel, The Jade Case, is open for follows. Here's the blurb:

*

[The volatile, arrogant Grand Commander vs. the seemingly lazy judicial officer who plays dumb to catch tigers]

He Ziyu's greatest wish is to work her way from judicial officer in the Ministry of Justice to vice minister,

then enjoy a senior official's retirement benefits and live the happy life of a lazy fish.

But in Grand Commander Shen Tong's eyes,

she is a little rascal who hides a dagger behind her honeyed words.

*

He Ziyu thinks

Grand Commander Shen has the Eastern Depot on his left and the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard under his thumb on his right.

With power over the entire court and everyone fawning over him, she should keep well away.

Who knew that later he would not only become her landlord and her patron,

but also try to take over her bed and burrow under her covers?

*

A little scene:

In the depths of winter, the wind was bitterly cold.

Little Officer He braced both hands against the desk, her face flushed as she bit her lip.

The man behind her leaned down close. His cool, sharp features were shadowed, his gaze dark, his smile inscrutable.

“In the dead of winter, I'll make sure to warm you up, Officer He.”

*

Everyday crime-solving in the Ministry of Justice. Plot and romance, solving cases, falling in love, political intrigue, and lots of eating.

Sweet romance, both leads are each other's first and only, happy ending.

The hero is charming, the heroine is beautiful. The setting is fictional, so don't nitpick the history.

Theme: Sincerity is the foundation of love
