The Rose and the Dragon Knight

My next novel, The Chancellor’s Sweetheart, is coming soon. The blurb is at the end. Come take a look, loves!

It wasn’t until the day her first love returned to Haicheng that Jing Rong realized she was nothing more than an "ordinary friend" to Tang Zhilu.

Jing Rong blocked Tang Zhilu on every platform, packed her bags, and left to clear her head.

The ancient town was full of winding rivers and picturesque mountains, and its people were beautiful, too.

There, Jing Rong met a man whom everyone, from the innkeeper to passing tourists, assumed was her boyfriend.

Xia Yiting smiled. "Maybe I look like your next boyfriend?"

After that, the two traveled together, and Xia Yiting nearly did become her boyfriend.

But it was just a brief interlude on a trip, and Jing Rong didn’t think much of it. Not until...

Backstage at a dimly lit theater, Xia Yiting still wore the gold-rimmed glasses from his role. Before he could take them off, he had her cornered where no one could see, looking down at her. "Can I be your boyfriend?"

A little bonus scene: In barely two or three months, Tang Zhilu’s first love had become nothing more than a nuisance. During a variety show, the production team arranged a family gathering. Tang Zhilu was already annoyed by the woman’s public argument, and then she looked up and unexpectedly saw a face she knew all too well.

The woman was holding another man’s arm, a faint smile on her lips.

Coming soon: The Chancellor’s Sweetheart

Ever since her seventeenth birthday, Qingning has been able to smell something different about everyone around her.

Her father never smiles, yet he smells of the childishly sweet and sour scent of tangerines. Her kind, gentle mother has the lovely fragrance of a peach.

But the newly favored Consort Cui, who usually layers on powder upon powder, has the underlying smell of a rotten pear.

Qingning wrinkles her nose, realizing she seems able to see through the layers everyone uses to hide their true selves.

There’s nothing wrong with that, until Qingning realizes that the current chancellor, as cold as snow on a heavenly mountain and as aloof as an immortal, has a faint, delicate sweetness about him that she can’t resist.
