The Mad Young Lord at the Widow's Gate

Widow Rong Ning is a peerless beauty. After three years of widowhood, she has seen just how cold and fickle people can be.

When she is forced to marry a local tyrant, she grits her teeth, brings home an injured stranger, and claims he is her husband, who left for war and never returned.

She thinks that once their act is over, he will leave and she can get on with her life.

But this man plays his part too well. The more he acts like her husband, the more he truly wants to be one.

He cooks for her, defends her against rumors, takes a blade for her, holds an umbrella over her, and spends every waking moment by her side, protecting her.

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

Until her "real husband" comes back.

She tells him to leave, but he grips her hand and stares at her, his eyes red-rimmed.

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

Rong Ning's expression turns cold. "It was only a temporary arrangement. Don't take it too seriously."

The man stands in the rain, drenched from head to toe, his gaze as cold as bone-chilling ice. "An act? Then why were you crying?"

He is a noble heir, willing to hide his name and keep his brilliance concealed for her sake.

She says it was only temporary, but he gave her his whole heart.

Mu Yan grabs her by the 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 deranged, possessive noble heir x a cool, stunning widow

She only wanted to borrow him to weather a storm. She never thought that borrowing him would leave her lost in love for half her life.

Later, on countless unbearable spring nights, Rong Ning is pinned beneath him as he clings to her and asks, "Have you figured it out yet? Who's your husband..."

A thoroughly unrestrained, over-the-top story from the author: a madman pursues love, takes what he wants by force, and the heroine is incredibly stubborn and very hard to win over. The male lead will suffer. If that's your thing, come on in and let's be friends, hehe.

#Sickly, sister-obsessed eldest prince x gentle, sweet princess#

Wei Changge never dreamed that she wasn't the late emperor's daughter, but the posthumous child of her mother and her former husband.

After the late emperor's death, the princes fought for the throne. Seventh Prince Wei Qi defeated his rivals and seized the throne, becoming the new emperor.

The new emperor was volatile and unpredictable. Everyone thought that once he ascended the throne, he would immediately launch a bloodbath to eliminate his enemies.

But the first thing he did after taking the throne was barge into Princess Wei Changge's chambers and have the imperial decree naming her empress read aloud.

Wei Changge's eyes filled with tears. "Brother, please... let me go."

"Let you go?" Wei Qi bent down and whispered in her ear, "I've longed for you all these years. How could I possibly let you go?"

Wei Qi would never forget that snowy night ten years ago, when the empress had given him, a disgraced prince whose mother had died young, another vicious beating.

He was used to it by then. Once the servants had left, he lay alone in the ice and snow, casually wiping the blood from his lips.

Suddenly, a little round face appeared before him.

Wei Changge's warm, soft hand touched his icy cheek. In a muffled voice, she asked, "Brother, does it hurt? I'll blow on it for you."

As snow fell all around them, a trace of warmth slowly appeared in Wei Qi's dark, cold eyes.

The Money-Grubbing Canary Flew Away

Liu Ya'er is the personal maid who introduced Ning Prince's heir, Wei Yue, to the ways of the bedchamber.

After serving the young lord, she continued to attend to his every need. By day, she ground ink and served tea. By night, she did the heavy lifting.

Liu Ya'er was not pleased. She was paid for one job but had to do two, so she began slacking off, cutting corners, and avoiding work.

The young lord saw right through her little scheme and lavished her with gifts: gold, silver, jewelry, hairpins, and ornaments, all sent to her in a steady stream.

Liu Ya'er was overjoyed. Seeing all that money, she threw herself back into her work with renewed enthusiasm.

But the good times didn't last. Ning Prince was accused of forming a faction and plotting rebellion, and his entire household was placed under house arrest.

Wei Yue was confined to a bleak little courtyard. No one was willing to get close to him, except Liu Ya'er, who stepped forward and volunteered to stay and care for the young lord.

Three years later, Ning Prince really did rebel. He seized the throne and became emperor, and Wei Yue was named crown prince.

The crown prince moved into the Eastern Palace, dressed in a python robe and golden crown, nobility beyond compare. He beckoned Liu Ya'er over and asked, "What do you want?"

Liu Ya'er looked at him eagerly. "Can I have anything I want?"

The crown prince nodded, tenderness in his eyes, and encouraged her. "Go ahead and ask. Anything you want."

Liu Ya'er's eyes lit up. "Then I'd like a house in Jiangnan and a rouge shop."

"All right," he said, his voice growing even gentler. "Anything else?"

Liu Ya'er looked at him. "That's all."

The smile slowly faded from Wei Yue's eyes. He tightened his grip on the jade scepter hidden behind his back, the symbol of the crown princess. "That's all?"

"Mm." Liu Ya'er smiled ingratiatingly. "It would be even better if you could give me some money to start a business and let me go to Jiangnan."

Wei Yue stared at her coldly, his gaze dark. "Then why did you stay back then?"

Liu Ya'er was puzzled, but answered honestly. "There was no way to make a living outside. At least I got fed here."

Wei Yue sneered, tossed aside the jade scepter, grabbed her by the neck, and pulled her into his arms. He looked down at her. "What, can't you get fed here anymore?"
