The Pavilion Master Is Always Playing Tricks on Me

Coming soon: Reborn to Avenge My Family and Country and Spring Flowers Don't Forsake the Trees. Thanks for adding them to your collection!

One day, after transmigrating to ancient times, Qin Xiaoshuang disguises herself as a man and becomes the greatest thief under heaven, robbing the rich to help the poor and roaming the martial world at will.

Who could have guessed that such a good life would come to an abrupt end one day?

The first thing the powerful Prince Zhennan does after returning triumphantly to court is establish the Divine Constable Bureau and issue a notice to the whole realm calling for her capture.

Qin Xiaoshuang sneers. "Capture me? I want to see what he's capable of."

Relying on her peerless lightness skills, unmatched disguise, and superb thievery, she challenges the bureau chief.

Who could have guessed it was all a trap he had set, catching her red-handed?

With evidence in hand, the bureau chief constantly threatens her.

He "forces" her to go from master thief to master detective and solve cases with him.

On her first day working against her will, Qin Xiaoshuang thinks about how to escape his clutches.

On the second day, she begins to suspect the bureau chief has a strange illness, but keeps thinking about escape.

Many days later, she finally figures out what his strange illness is: an attraction to men!

And the man he's attracted to is her, in men's clothing!

Oh my god! She spins around and runs for it.

That day, everyone in the imperial palace sees the newly enthroned emperor rush out the door as if mad, hair disheveled, eyes red, and composure lost, searching for her...

*

The male lead's perspective:

The world thinks he intends to bring her to justice, but no one knows that many years ago she stepped into his darkest days carrying the light. She became his medicine, and fate decreed that she alone could cure him.

With her, all the suffering of his first half of life can be erased.

She is a thief, and he is a constable. He baits her into a trap, all so he can keep her by his side.

From then on, they will be together every day, never to part again.

Bonus scene:

Deep in the palace, in a room filled with passion.

Qin Xiaoshuang reclines on a soft couch. In her confusion and desire, she summons up one last bit of stubbornness to accuse him: "You baited me into a trap, led me on step by step, and even used your good looks to seduce me. You're a scheming bastard!"

The new emperor chuckles softly and pulls her into his arms. "It's my honor to have seduced you."

Coming soon 1: Reborn, My Former Husband Is My Enemy in War and Country

When Song Chu was defeated, the delicate Feng Qingyan accepted the imperial edict ordering her to marry into a foreign family and said, "I'll go."

The Feng family has protected Song Chu for generations and is utterly loyal. Whether for the ruler, the country, the people, or her family, she would do anything without hesitation.

After that, she becomes the woman of Murong Xiao, the eldest prince of Wuqian. As the enemy of her country, he naturally gives the woman sent to seal an alliance no easy life.

The night she finally manages to send out Wuqian's defense plans, Murong Xiao flies into a rage and orders her execution the following day. He intends to hang her head on Wuqian's city wall to intimidate the people of Song Chu.

That night, she sets fire to her own residence. Through the blazing flames, she sees someone rushing toward her, screaming her name with all his might.

At the very end of her life, she smiles and says, "Murong, you've lost."

But she is the one who loses! Her soul drifts through the world, watching Murong Xiao lead Wuqian's army into Song Chu. When Song Chu falls, the man takes his own life before the throne.

As he breathes his last, the man smiles and murmurs to himself, "You're the one who lost. You wanted to leave me behind, but I won't let you have your way!"

By good fortune, she is reborn. Her whole family is still alive, healthy, and safe.

She will never again be a pawn in the struggle between two countries. Kneeling before her parents, she asks firmly, "Father, Mother, are we risking our lives to protect the country or the ruler? Are we protecting a foolish ruler or a wise one?"

Her parents come to their senses, and Song Chu changes overnight.

In this life, Feng Qingyan is determined never to see that man again, alive or dead. She wants to spend her life in harmony with her husband. But on the eve of her wedding, a man rides alone into the capital of Song Chu and personally presents a treaty of friendship between the two countries. His sole condition is that the Feng family's youngest daughter, Feng Qingyan, marry into Wuqian.

She tears up the imperial edict and turns to leave, only to be caught by the man. His bloodshot eyes are full of fury, just as murderous as in their past life. He grabs her wrist and grits his teeth. "Feng Qingyan, are you going to leave me behind again this time?"

Content warnings: 1. This may be a bit angsty. Both leads are pretty ruthless.

2. Fictional setting, with a mountain of invented details and no concern for logic.

Coming soon 2: Spring Flowers Don't Forsake the Trees

Spring has vanished from the Three Realms. Yet Moon Ruins, a place regarded by all three realms as forbidden, alone boasts stunning scenery, with flowers in full bloom year after year and spring warmth every day.

Ling Ding, born in Moon Ruins, doesn't know she is the reason for all this. She only wants to escape Moon Ruins as soon as possible and see the world outside.

Her father strokes her little head and sighs.

Moon Ruins has always allowed people in, but never out.

Even if the seal is broken,

A little white tiger with two souls inside her who leaves Moon Ruins can only meet a dead end.

The innocent little white tiger has no idea about any of this.

At last, by a twist of fate, she finds the exit one day and sneaks out of Moon Ruins.

The outside world really is wonderful.

As soon as she comes out, she meets a beautiful immortal lord, gorgeous as a flower and peerless in grace.

Ling Ding is instantly smitten.

But the outside world isn't so wonderful either.

Someone is after her, wanting to carve out her bones.

Someone is after her, wanting to cut out her soul.

If the beautiful immortal lord weren't there to protect her, she would have died eight hundred times over.

Yun Mo accidentally breaks the seal on Moon Ruins

And releases a little white tiger.

The little white tiger is innocent of worldly affairs and only moderately cultivated,

Yet she can command all the flowers,

And she has two souls inside her.

In short, she's a mystery.

He's quite intrigued.

But he's far from the only one interested in the mystery.

Strange things keep happening one after another.

Hmph, they think they can take his little white tiger away from an emperor born of the Heavenly Dao?

Dream on!

Besides, his little white tiger is calling to him:

"Meow, meow, meow, I'm hungry. Hurry up and deal with them, then come back and cook for me."

"Mm." He answers softly as he quickly takes care of his opponents. "I'll be right back to cook for you."

Nothing in the world matters as much as his little white tiger's wishes.

Coming soon 3: The Tea-Making Beauty of the Seventies

After an accident, Chen Wanyue transmigrates to the 1970s. When she opens her eyes, she discovers she's become a little girl. Her original body's shiftless father is about to sell her to a dying fool as a good-luck bride, while her mother, who hasn't even finished her postpartum month, tries to stop him and is brutally beaten.

Enough is enough! Chen Wanyue is furious!

She quickly puts a stop to everything and decisively helps the original body's parents divorce. But new problems quickly follow:

What do they do when there's not enough food or warm clothes?

What about her little brother and sister, who are still too young to feed themselves?

She looks around, and her eyes light up.

There are tea mountains stretching into the distance, and a provincial tea research institute right nearby.

There's hope of changing her fate!

Chen Wanyue, who was born into a family of tea merchants in her previous life, now embarks on her great tea-making enterprise.

At the same time, in this impoverished backwater, she meets He Yunzhou, who would become Asia's richest man in her previous life.

Only now, he's just a landlord's little son, someone everyone avoids like the plague.

Maybe I can borrow some of the future richest man's good luck? Chen Wanyue thinks to herself.

Unexpectedly, this little bit of borrowed luck takes her from tea-picking girl to tea-making instructor at the tea research institute, then into the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, where she becomes a nationally renowned tea master. A new tea variety she develops also wins the top gold medal at the International Tea Conference.

Afterward, she establishes tea factories, opens tea houses, and promotes tea culture, becoming the leading figure in the country's tea industry and ranking among the nation's wealthiest.

Years later, during an interview, a reporter asks, "Ms. Chen, could you tell us the secret to your success?"

Her gaze passes over the crowd and meets the eyes of the person who has always been watching her. She smiles. "The secret? Borrowing good luck."

Bonus scene:

The young man corners her in an alley, his brows lowered, his bright black eyes fixed on her without blinking.

Chen Wanyue panics a little. "I can't... borrow it anymore?"

The young man frowns, puzzled. "Borrow what?"

She answers with righteous confidence, "Your good luck."

A smile slowly spreads across the young man's lips. "Silly, this is how you borrow good luck."

Chen Wanyue, kissed until she's weak: That's a lot of good luck! And it's coming on so strong!

But then the young man whispers in her ear, "Meeting you is my good luck!"

A few notes:

1. This is a fictional period setting.

2. The tea varieties in this novel are mainly black tea and rock tea.
