[Blurb]
*
Yue Ying grew up cherished by her family, with a heart as clear as a mirror, kind and sweet.
When misfortune struck and she became a concubine, she still shone brightly, like the morning glow.
She fell in love with Ji Xuchong at first sight, and her heart yearned for him.
Yet she also struggled with her status as a concubine and her own desire. She reminded herself not to overstep her place, while sinking deeper into Ji Xuchong’s tenderness, unable to pull herself free.
*
Ji Xuchong bore a terrible blood feud and had no heart for love. Alone, he devoted himself to hardship and self-cultivation.
But the moment he laid eyes on Yue Ying, he fell into the mortal world.
He could not bear to part with her.
Even knowing he could not give Yue Ying a secure life or a proper status, he stubbornly kept her by his side.
It was the first time he had yielded to desire.
It was also the first time he tried to fight back against his painful memories.
*
Drawing strength from happy memories of the past, Yue Ying endured her present hardships and struggles, bringing a ray of bright sunshine to Ji Xuchong as he languished in the mire.
Ji Xuchong relied on Yue Ying’s gentle sweetness to withstand the suffering and despair of the present.
After crossing a river filled with pain and despair, separation and death, they walked hand in hand to the far shore, where the way opened up before them. With tears and blood for ink, and their broken hearts for brushes, they turned an ethereal dream into reality.
Note:
A sweet romance.
A slow-paced, everyday-life story.
Two little melons in misery fall into a sweet romance.

[New story blurb]
*
In a time of chaos, men fight over power, wealth, and beautiful women.
Le Chan is the beauty they all fight over.
*
A Chan ekes out a living begging in the marketplace. The great scholar Gongsun Hong takes pity on her loneliness and buys her.
Seven-year-old A Chan stands in the residence of Gongsun Hong. His gaze is cold and stern, his face that of a Buddha but his heart that of a snake. “If you want to stay, you must obey me and become a piece on my chessboard.”
Little A Chan gazes up at Gongsun Hong, as cold and noble as moonlight, and smiles sweetly. “I’m willing to be your chess piece.”
Gongsun Hong says, “From now on, you must cast aside all love and affection. You will move among different men and make them lose their wits over you. A Chan, in these chaotic times, no man or woman should have shame or love. Staying alive is what matters most. Do you understand?”
A Chan kneels and kowtows. “My lord, just you wait. I won’t disappoint you!”
*
At sixteen, after Gongsun Hong’s careful cultivation, A Chan becomes a celebrated courtesan of unsurpassed beauty. Following his plan, Gongsun Hong gives her to the treacherous minister Shentu Yue as a concubine.
On the eve of her departure from the Gongsun residence, A Chan, who has long been in love with Gongsun Hong, puts a secret medicine from the Western Regions in the incense burner in his room, then has her way with him.
Gongsun Hong is so furious and embarrassed that he calls her shameless.
A Chan smiles coolly. “Why are you angry, my lord? Didn’t you say that in these chaotic times, we shouldn’t have any shame? Shentu Yue is old and fat. Just looking at him turns my stomach. You’re much better-looking.”
With that, A Chan turns and leaves.
From then on, she moves among different men to gather intelligence, becoming the sharpest sword in Gongsun Hong’s hand.
*
Later, Gongsun Hong plots the death of the powerful minister Shentu Yue, installs a child ruler on the throne, and gains control of the realm.
He takes A Chan back and locks her in the rear courtyard.
A Chan spits out, “You shameless bastard! It wasn’t enough to send me to be ravaged by those beasts, so now you want to humiliate me yourself?”
Gongsun Hong says coolly, “You were born to be a chess piece, a plaything meant to serve others. If you can serve other people, why can’t you serve me?”
*
A Chan does not know that Gongsun Hong began to regret it the day she left his residence.
Watching her day after day with those men, he was consumed by rage.
So he worked relentlessly, brought down all the powerful ministers, and took A Chan back, pampering her and keeping her all to himself.
But A Chan’s heart was long gone.
Gongsun Hong was so angry he wanted to kill her, yet could not bear to harm a single strand of her hair. All he could do was ask, “What would it take for you to love me?”
A Chan smiles. “Give me gold and power. I’ll love whoever lets me live in splendor.”
Back then, I offered you my heart, and you looked down on it.
Now that my heart is gone, you insist on demanding it from me. It’s truly laughable!
*
In chaotic times, men fight over power, wealth, and beautiful women.
Beautiful women enjoy the power and wealth men have won.
And that laughable thing called true love.
*
Key points:
A fatherly male lead, who must win his wife back after pushing her away.
The mischievous heroine takes revenge on the male lead and plays the old man like a fiddle.
Pseudo-political intrigue, sweet romance.
