I Bumped into the Young Master at the Waist

Please add my next historical romance, "A Life Doted On After Marrying the Sickly Young Master," to your collection! The blurb is at the very end.

Blurb: A sweet girl who's insecure and sensitive but resilient enough to endure x a ruthless, sharp-tongued gambling den boss who loves to bully people.

His own older brother handed Wei Yue over to an underground bank to pay off a debt. He spent five whole days and nights in a dark, damp basement, bleeding all over the floor, where two pieces of his pride were brutally broken.

When Wei Yue was brought out, covered in wounds, he caught the scent of roses in a narrow alley.

There, he also met an adorable little girl who raised Tibetan mastiffs and was willing to peel lychees for him.

But one day, the little girl's family vanished without a trace overnight.

Wei Yue picked up the pieces of his shattered pride, gradually restoring himself and rebuilding the Wei household. He took over the banks and gambling dens that had once humiliated him...

He did all of that. Only one thing remained: bringing his little girl back to him.

But the innocent, lively little girl had been worn down until all that remained was insecurity and self-doubt. She loved him, but didn't dare to love him. He wanted to protect her and cherish her with all his heart.

Fortunately, in the end, she came around.

"Young Master, cuddle me." Mei Jin held Wei Yue's face in her hands and smiled sweetly, just as she had before.

Wei Yue turned his head with an air of pride, waiting...

Mei Jin planted a kiss on him and asked, "Want another?"

Wei Yue shamelessly replied, "Of course."

Neither of them had an easy start in life, but fortunately, there is light ahead and everything is possible.

Blurb for "A Life Doted On After Marrying the Sickly Young Master":

Mei Siyi is the illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Loyalty and Righteousness. Though she's beautiful and graceful, her standing in the earl's household is worse than a servant's. She's constantly bullied, and one wrong step earns her a beating.

Just then, the Prime Minister's household proposes marriage to the Earl of Loyalty and Righteousness, asking for his legitimate daughter. But everyone in the capital knows the Prime Minister has two sons. The elder is a spoiled playboy who is already married, and the younger, Yan Ci, has been sick for years. If she marries him, she'll end up a widow sooner or later, and suffer on top of it.

The earl can't bear to part with Mei Siting, so he makes Mei Siyi take her place.

And so, the capital gets a new joke: "A foolish illegitimate daughter paired with a sickly young master."

The first time Mei Siyi sees Yan Ci, she's dazzled by his handsome, refined face and gentle, jade-like air. But when she thinks about the life ahead, she loses all hope and can only hide away and cry in secret at night until her eyes swell.

In the pitch-black night, Yan Ci carries a lantern and searches every corner of the estate before finding Mei Siyi. He sees that she doesn't want to be there, but still brings her delicious pastries and gently asks, "Little crybaby, are you hungry?"

That night, Yan Ci tells her the truth. He was only pretending to be sick. He rushed to ask for her hand because he heard that she was about to die, not because of her elder sister. And he is so gentle.

It turns out Mei Siyi doesn't remember that, many years ago on Zhengyang Street, she briefly took a boy's hand and helped him hide from the rebel army.

But Yan Ci remembers every moment. This time, he firmly takes her hand. He will climb higher, step by step, to give his girl the best life possible.

Later, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the only person he relies on is the newly appointed Prime Minister, Yan Ci. The ministers all know that Yan Ci looks like a gentle young nobleman, but is actually cold-hearted and ruthless, decisive in his actions, and indifferent to everyone.

Yet after an earthquake one night, Yan Ci holds his sleeping wife in his arms in a makeshift meeting hall, handling state affairs while protecting her and stealing the occasional kiss.

Theme: The road ahead may be difficult, but someone will love you with all their heart.
