[Upcoming: Miscalculation. Please add it to your favorites]

Princess Jiang Si of the Jin Dynasty was a peerless beauty, with lovely brows, bright teeth, and a face like a hibiscus flower.

In her dream, the princess married her gentle, jade-like childhood friend, the heir to a noble title. She thought she had found the perfect husband, only to discover that her new husband had been hiding treacherous ambitions. Before he could usurp the throne, he ended her life with a cup of poisoned wine.

Waking from her dream, Jiang Si resolved to break off the engagement, kill the treacherous minister, and help her young brother govern.

Xie Lin was the minister she personally selected to help the young emperor rule.

Rumor had it that he was noble and aloof, arrogant beyond measure, and a veritable King of Hell. Jiang Si refused to believe it.

She sought out Xie Lin at his residence, lifted her fair, graceful neck, and got straight to the point.

After a long silence, just as Jiang Si was about to leave, she heard the man behind her laugh derisively. "What does the princess intend to offer me in exchange?"

From then on, the ever-cool and haughty chief minister was lost in her hibiscus-scented bedchamber and tender embrace.

Bonus scene:

Later, with all the treacherous ministers eliminated, Jiang Si wanted to cut ties with Xie Lin and recruit a worthy husband at the princess's residence. She had only one requirement: he had to be more handsome than Xie Lin.

Several days passed, and Jiang Si still hadn't found anyone. Instead, Xie Lin arrived with a knife in hand, sending everyone scattering like birds and fish.

As they kissed and caressed, Xie Lin asked forcefully, "Does the princess intend to burn the bridge after crossing the river?"

Jiang Si thought Xie Lin was only after a fleeting pleasure. But when she accidentally wandered into a secret room, she discovered it was covered with portraits of her.

There were portraits of her as a child, at her coming-of-age ceremony, and on her wedding day.

Jiang Si asked Xie Lin, "So you've been in love with me for this long?"

Xie Lin said, "Yes. I have loved the princess for a long time."

A story about luring you into a trap.

Upcoming novel Miscalculation:

1. A University's campus forum, hot poll: Vote for the girl you think is least likely to end up with Jiang Rang.

Dance major Ji Ye is in the lead by a landslide.

The reason is that one is carefree and flirtatious, while the other is gentle and sweet. They just don't seem like a match.

When Ji Ye hears about it, she laughs it off, but no one notices the dim light in her eyes.

Later, an anonymous post on the forum leaks a photo of Jiang Rang pinning Ji Ye against a car and kissing her. The gossipers fall silent at once. But before three months have passed, Ji Ye is the one who breaks up with him.

Everyone realizes: Jiang Rang really was just playing around.

2. Jiang Rang, the renowned head of the Jiang family in Nancheng, is rumored to be unruly and arrogant, refined yet roguish. Every project he handles is a success, making him the very model of a capitalist who always has everything under control.

But one day, this capitalist breaks with his usual exploitative ways and takes up an artistic revolution.

The Nancheng Ballet Company's touring performance is underway. Jiang Rang sits in the center of the front row, stage lights falling in shifting patterns across his handsome face, his gaze fixed on the person onstage.

Ji Ye is a principal dancer with the company. After the performance, as the guests raise their glasses, someone introduces her to the tour's sponsor and signals that she should go offer him a toast.

The man in the seat of honor lazily covers the rim of his glass, his eyes unreadable. "We know each other."

Ji Ye only laughs softly. "Not very well."

3. Ji Ye has made a name for herself in the ballet world. She is beautiful, elegant, and otherworldly, with a slender waist and long legs, and admirers constantly pursue her.

But in a shadowy corner, Jiang Rang's tall, commanding figure blocks her way. In a husky voice, he asks, "Does sleeping together count as knowing each other?"

How can we get to know each other better? Just say the word, and I'll do it all.

Theme: Life is never smooth sailing. We still have to fight our way through adversity.
