The Tyrant's Substitute Favored Consort

My new novel, The Mad Young Lord at the Widow's Door, is updating daily. Please add my upcoming novel, The Sickly Prince Begs His Brother to Let Him Go, to your collection.

Shalina is the greatest beauty of the Western Regions.

Her beauty leaves her adrift, reduced to a dancing girl.

Yet that same beauty also brings her success, and she is presented to the tyrant Gu Yan.

The moment Gu Yan sees her, he can think of no one else.

He showers her with love, cherishing her like a precious jewel.

He even dismisses his harem and grants a general amnesty for her sake.

But Shalina remains melancholy, knowing she is nothing but a substitute.

Gu Yan: "Qingqing, this is your favorite. Come and try some."

Shalina turns her head away. "Your Majesty, my name isn't Qingqing, and I don't like this."

The mulberries in his hands fall to the ground. The light in Gu Yan's eyes fades, and he walks dejectedly out of the bedroom.

Shalina: "Your Majesty! If you don't love me, please let me go."

Gu Yan whirls around and kisses her fiercely. "Don't even think about it!"

Yet when everyone believes that Gu Yan's beloved is Qingqing,

Gu Yan personally orders Qingqing's execution for the sake of his empress, Shalina.

My completed novels, Caged in Blue Silk and Reborn as the Regent King's Black Moonlight, are out now. Feel free to check them out.

My new novel, The Mad Young Lord at the Widow's Door, is now underway. Please add it to your collection.

The widow Rong Ning is peerlessly beautiful. After three years of widowhood, she has watched the callousness of human nature with cold eyes.

Forced to remarry a bully, she grits her teeth, brings home a badly wounded stranger, and claims he is her husband, who went to war and never returned.

She thinks that once the act is over, he will leave and she can go back to her life.

Who knew this man would play his part so convincingly that, as he went on acting, he really wanted to be her husband?

He cooks for her, silences the rumors, takes a blade for her, holds an umbrella over her, and devotes every day and night to protecting her.

All she has to do is call softly, and he turns to her at once.

Until her "real husband" returns.

She tells him to leave, but he grips her hand and stares at her with reddened eyes.

"You brought me home and said I was your husband. You touched me, kissed me, called me husband, and now you want to throw me away?"

Rong Ning's face turns cold. "It was only a temporary measure. Don't take it so seriously."

Standing in the rain, soaked through, the man's gaze is as cold as bone-chilling ice. "An act? Then why were you crying?"

He is a young lord from a powerful family, willing to hide his name and conceal all his sharp edges for her.

She says it was only a temporary measure, but he offered her his true heart.

Mu Yan grips the pulse at her throat and looks icily at the man she calls her husband. "All I want in this life is to marry you, no matter how many people I have to kill."

A mad, possessive young lord X a cool, stunning widow

She only wanted to borrow him as shelter from a storm. She never expected that borrowing him would mean losing herself for half a lifetime.

Theme: Live as your true self and strive to create a better future.
