A Beauty's Cruel Heart

Blurb: Six years ago, Jiang Yan went up into the mountains to put down a bandit gang and brought a young woman back from their hideout. He was immediately taken with her looks and had the unscrupulous thought of taking advantage of her vulnerable situation. He always knew that Ming Shu had given herself to him only because she had nowhere else to turn and no other choice. That was until one day, when he discovered that her personality was an act, her name was fake, and her identity was false, too. And on top of that... Far away in the imperial capital, she had a handsome, steadfast fiance who had waited faithfully for her for nine whole years! The self-proclaimed playboy Young Marquis Jiang's eyes turned red... When Jiang Yan first met Ming Shu, she had just killed someone. She was trembling, yet her gaze was fierce. At their first meeting, Ming Shu could tell from the way Jiang Yan looked at her that something was off. She wondered how likely she was to take him out too, while she still had the momentum. A moment later... Jiang Yan: This girl is tough beneath that gentle exterior. What a personality! I really like her! Ming Shu: Never mind, I can't take him out. I'll just go along with him for now and pretend a dog got me... A composed, scheming, cool beauty x a secretly passionate, pretentious young marquis The premise of my other novel, Take It Slow, Uncle, has changed. Sorry to everyone who had been waiting for this one. I'd put it off for a long time and still couldn't sort out my ideas, so I'm starting over. Theme: Love.
