His Little Darling

(Complete. Come on in and read.)

Zhou Feizhi was raised from childhood to be a killing machine, with martial arts so powerful they could shake the heavens.

Aside from training and killing, he had no interest in anything.

One day, he grew sick of killing, broke off his engagement, and withdrew into the mountains to practice forbidden arts.

At that point, someone foisted a strange girl on him.

The girl was pretty, sweet, innocent, and so adorable that people couldn't help wanting to tease her.

To have an excuse to tease her openly, Zhou Feizhi forced her to call him "Dad."

With tears in her eyes, she timidly called him "Daddy..." The sound made Zhou Feizhi's bones melt.

Little by little, he became immersed in life with a "daughter."

He stole the leftovers from her mouth, scolded her for being picky, and then went out to steal watermelons for her.

If she smiled or casually called him "Dad," he would put his tremendous martial arts skills to ridiculous use: shaking fruit from trees, chopping wood and burning it, or making candied hawthorns.

He didn't want to be her "Dad" anymore. Just as he thought the girl loved him too and was eagerly preparing to marry her, the court was thrown into turmoil. He was forced to return to the capital to deal with matters. Passing by his family home, he planned to pay his respects to the young widow the old lord had married only on his deathbed.

He bent down on his knees and offered her tea, reluctantly calling her "Great-Grandma."

The moment he looked up, Zhou Feizhi was devastated.

"Feizhi, be good."

The little girl he'd once forced to call him Dad put a candied hawthorn in his hand as a red-envelope gift.

The fiancee he'd publicly abandoned without ever seeing her once had suddenly become his ancestor.

Forced to attend to her day and night, he stood outside her window on snowy nights to soothe her to sleep.

The household servants wished they could gouge out their own eyes. Everyone could see the blatant desire in his eyes.

Only Zhao Zhi didn't notice. She was content to lean against his back and listen as he murmured "Ancestor" again and again.

Later, he kept calling her "Ancestor" until the truth came to light.

He commanded an army of hundreds of thousands, knelt beneath her, offered her the Tiger Tally, and called her "Ancestor."

P.S. The male and female leads do not fall in love until the misunderstanding about their family relationship is cleared up. The heroine never really married the old lord. She belongs to the hero.

Below are some upcoming stories. If you like them, please add them to your collection! O(∩_∩)O~

Upcoming 1: After I Dumped the Brooding Emperor, I Lost My Memory

The imperial court of Great Zhou had collapsed, and corrupt eunuchs controlled the government. Shao Rongrong, a daughter of the Shao clan, betrayed her people and joined the eunuchs.

Amid the curses of nobles from every state, Shao Rongrong indulged in luxury day after day, collecting noble young men from eleven countries.

Even Murong Che, the former crown prince, who had been thrown into a beast pit and left near death, was smilingly dragged back to her estate through a trail of blood and cages.

People of the time all cursed the Shao family's wicked daughter, saying she would die a terrible death.

Murong Che hated the wicked woman to the core.

He hated that she never minded the filth when she cleaned him up, that she kissed his ugly severed fingers, and that he fell for her.

He hated that after making him fall in love, she did nothing more.

Instead, she was more intimate with other men than she was with him.

Until he surrounded the capital with his army, crushed the rebels, and demanded that they hand over the wicked woman.

Shao Rongrong looked back at him and smiled freely, then jumped off the cliff without a moment's hesitation.

That day, her bewitching red dress fluttered like a butterfly burning in flames.

Murong Che was driven mad.

Later, Murong Che seized power, and someone brought Shao Rongrong, who had miraculously survived that disaster, back to him.

The brooding emperor's eyes reddened. He wanted to strangle the unfaithful wicked woman with his own hands.

When Shao Rongrong woke and saw a room full of men, she instinctively hid in Murong Che's arms, wrapping her slender arms around his waist as she trembled.

"S-so scary... Someone save me..."

Who would have thought that the famed flirtatious enchantress had lost her memory and was afraid of every man except him?

Little scene 1:

Every day in the emperor's bedchamber.

Murong Che held Rongrong and patiently coaxed her. "Everyone in the world except me is a bad man. Remember that?"

Shao Rongrong yawned. She was sleepy, so she dutifully repeated, "Everyone in the world except A-Che is a bad man."

"Who do you love most?"

"A-Che."

"How much?"

Rongrong suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a firm kiss on him. "So, so much. A-Che, I'm sleepy."

Murong Che savored it for a long while before finally letting her go. "All right... Go to sleep."

Little scene 2:

After Shao Rongrong regained her memories, she suddenly realized she'd been kept under a form of house arrest and had lost her freedom.

The brooding emperor learned the truth about her "unfaithful" ways and bitterly regretted it. He staggered toward her, the strings of his ceremonial crown swinging wildly and striking him painfully in the eyes.

"Rongrong, don't go!"

Upcoming 2: The Regent's Sweet Little Bride-to-be

Feng Jianqing, the regent who held absolute power over the court and life and death, had a little secret he found hard to admit.

He was born with a chronic illness that brought excruciating pain when it flared up. Only holding his destined partner close against him could ease it.

So, from the time he was a teenager, there was always a girl in his arms, her little legs swinging as she licked candy. She was the bride-to-be destined for him.

But the little girl was soft, fragrant, and beautiful, and she was always eating candy. Feng Jianqing felt awkward whenever he held her, so he often put on a cold face.

It wasn't that he disliked her. He just resented how she got syrup all over him when she nestled in his arms to eat candy.

·

Luo Yitang grew up on Yunxian Mountain. Since childhood, her great ambition had been to become a beautiful nun at the Yunxian Temple.

But her master said she had to marry Feng Jianqing. Only after his chronic illness was cured and the Feng family's curse lifted could he officially bring her to the temple for her tonsure ceremony.

But her fiance was so cold that she was sure she could never thaw him.

So she pleaded tearfully with her master: "Can I switch to someone else for my trial?"

Her new trial partner was a scholar in plain clothes. Luo Yitang happily went to find him, but the regent was overcome with jealousy and blocked her halfway there with a large contingent of imperial guards.

"Who said you could leave!" Feng Jianqing grabbed her hand, his eyes red with frustration. "I only said I didn't like you eating candy. When did I ever say I didn't like you or didn't want to marry you?"

Then, in front of a hundred thousand imperial guards, the regent solemnly proposed to her.

Luo Yitang breathed a sigh of relief and happily hugged him first. Thank goodness, she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of finding another trial partner.

Feng Jianqing stiffened all over, his face red. After just a few days apart, he'd already missed her sweetness terribly.

He thought that a girl liking candy wasn't really a problem. He could indulge her a little if she liked it.

He just wouldn't let her go for the rest of his life.

Little scene 1

The regent never missed court, but one day he suddenly stopped attending.

Before the ministers could relax at the absence of his oppressive presence, the regent ordered them to report to his estate every day.

The ministers: "!"

The ministers were afraid and didn't want to go to the estate. They secretly asked the eunuch who personally served the regent why he had stopped attending court.

The eunuch smiled behind his hand. "His Highness's illness has been acting up lately."

"And the little girl said she was afraid of the roof-beasts in the throne hall, so she wouldn't let him hold her there."

The ministers were baffled. What kind of excuse was that?

Besides, were the roof-beasts really scarier than the regent himself?

They didn't know how gentle the regent could be when soothing the little girl.

Little scene 2

After his chronic illness was cured, the little girl insisted on going back to the mountain. When the regent learned the truth about their engagement, he had the sorcerer who'd cast the curse dragged in that very night and forced him to curse him again.

Sorcerer: "??"

He'd cast the curse to torment the Feng family. How could anyone be begging him to put the curse back on them?!

Upcoming 3: The Devoted Love of a Possessive Older Brother

In her previous life, Xie Er's identity was exposed. The phoenix became a chicken, and the once highborn county lady was demoted to commoner.

Fortunately, she still found a husband who loved her as much as she loved him, someone who cared about love, not status.

But on the way to her wedding, her half-brother Xie Jinxing, a corrupt eunuch she'd once bullied mercilessly and who had since become a man of immense power, snatched her back to the palace to serve as his companion.

Xie Jinxing let down his hair, opened his collar, and leaned against a jade couch. With his black hair and red lips, he was so beautiful he seemed almost demonic. He gave her a cold smile and beckoned with a finger. "Come here."

Every day, Xie Er was forced to serve him tea and ink. Sometimes he gripped her slender waist and leaned close to her ear, asking coldly, "Didn't you always say you hated eunuchs like me, who'd do anything for gain? How does it feel to stay by a eunuch's side as his companion?"

Later, Xie Er died in despair. After becoming a wandering spirit, she watched her beloved betray her and shamelessly beg her half-brother to secure him an official post. In the end, her half-brother placed her body in a beautiful glass coffin, polished it day and night, and set it beside his bed. He spoke to her affectionately, like he had when they were children, and took revenge on her behalf.

When she was reborn, she returned to the age of six. Her mother once again placed a whip in her hand, forcing her to treat Xie Jinxing coldly and beat and humiliate him.

This time, Xie Er refused, no matter what.

With tears welling in her bright eyes, the little girl pulled Xie Jinxing, whose eyes were swollen from being beaten, to his feet and placed the whip back in his hand.

"Brother, I'm sorry. If you're angry, you can hit me... once."

After speaking, Xie Er trembled in fear, clenched her little fists, and squeezed her eyes shut.

Though gravely injured and barely able to stand, Xie Jinxing got back up. Gently... he imitated the way she kissed flower petals and kissed the top of her head.

Later, Xie Er grew up cherished and pampered by her older brother. Thinking she had his protection, she believed she'd be able to find a more reliable husband this time.

But on her wedding day, Xie Jinxing, the powerful grand councilor who held life and death in his hands, forcibly intercepted her bridal sedan and took her back to the chief minister's residence.

P.S. The male and female leads are not related by blood. They do not fall in love while their relationship remains in effect.

Theme: Never give up hope, no matter what.
