[A clever, resilient physician heroine vs. a rugged lone wolf with maxed-out combat skills]
Shen Yuqing entered the academy at the age of ten. By the time she graduated and returned home at fifteen, she had already fallen for someone and was determined to marry Mr. Xing Yan, the academy's learned and refined scholar.
But one wrong step forced her to marry into the northern frontier and become its princess consort.
When she wrote her thirtieth excuse to stay at home, that man rode in from the northern frontier and chased her all the way to the capital.
"You won't come with me because of that bookworm?"
One night, beneath the weeping red candles, shadows stirred by the little window as the man whispered hoarsely.
Shen Yuqing ignored him and turned away.
With a dark expression, Wei Yan turned her chin back toward him. "If you keep pining for him, I'll chop him up and feed him to the dogs."
[She loves his unyielding courage, and she loves his boundless passion.]
@Content warnings
1. Both leads are each other's first and only partners.
2. They marry before falling in love. The heroine really did love the second male lead.
3. Happy ending.
*Important: This story mixes historical eras, and its alternate setting is very alternate! Not just a different century!

Coming soon: The Emperor's Favorite
[A scheming, delicate beauty vs. a ruthless emperor with absolute power]
Before entering the palace, Lingyu was the secret lover of the heir to the Duke of Dingguo. A few months later, the heir's wife moved in and cleared out the entire rear courtyard. With nowhere else to go, Lingyu entered the palace by chance, accompanying Noble Consort Wan.
She knew she was a pawn in Noble Consort Wan's hands, meant to help the childless consort regain the emperor's favor and bear her an heir.
But she also knew that once she was no longer useful, she would be left to die. So she schemed with all her might, placing all her hopes in that man.
[Bonus scene]
At a palace banquet, the heir to the Duke of Dingguo took Lingyu's hand, heartbroken. "Yu'er, don't be afraid. Tomorrow, I'll tell His Majesty to send you back to the Duke of Dingguo's residence."
That night, the Qianqing Palace blazed with light. Raven-black hair ribbons spilled over the bed, undulating like waves, while a gold-inlaid bracelet clinked incessantly.
Sweat slowly trickled down the emperor's forehead and fell onto her smooth, pale skin. His long fingers pinched the woman's rounded earlobe as he spoke in a low voice. "Lingyu, didn't I tell you that if you ever saw Gao Huan again, I wouldn't spare him?"
@Content warnings
