The Cold-Blooded Killer's Tearful Little Beauty

Li Yun was the royal family's top assassin, his peerless martial arts honed with human blood. Wherever he went, nothing was left alive.

One day, he received an imperial order to assassinate an important court official. The moment he cut through the tent flap, he saw a little girl sleepily climbing out of bed. She tumbled into his arms, her cheeks rosy as she puckered her lips and called him, "Big brother."

Li Yun caught the fresh scent of blood on the little girl. So be it. He would raise her for a few more years. When she was older, she could become his "living meat" and supply him with blood.

From then on, the little girl was raised in his residence. He killed anyone who stood in her way, whether god or Buddha, and no one dared lay a finger on her.

The little girl wanted no one but her big brother. She wanted him to eat with her, sleep with her, and tell her stories. By the time she had grown into a young woman and suitors were lining up at the door, Li Yun had begun plotting to take her blood.

But when the blade was poised to draw blood, he hesitated at the sight of her clear eyes.

He suddenly understood that ever since the first time he saw the little girl, he had been waiting for her to grow up. But not so he could take her blood. He wanted to become her husband.

A childhood-to-adulthood romance

Both leads are virgins, but there are other interruptions, so readers who prefer completely chaste romances should be cautious.

Coming soon: The Marquis's Beautiful Concubine. Please add it to your reading list!

Jiang Xinran's gambling-addicted father sold her to Chu Zhe, the heir of the marquis's household, as a concubine. She had heard that Chu Zhe was gentle, refined, and exceptionally talented, and that he was also a close confidant of the emperor. Given her station, Jiang Xinran thought becoming his concubine was already a good deal.

She never expected that, at their first meeting, his handsome face would be full of cold arrogance. "You're nothing but a slave I bought. I won't touch you, and don't get any foolish ideas. I bought you to make my family call off the marriage they arranged for me. We have a year. Once it's canceled, we'll have nothing to do with each other."

Jiang Xinran lowered her head and replied, "All right."

Before the year was up, Chu Zhe had successfully forced his family to call off the marriage. When one of his friends fell in love with Jiang Xinran at first sight and asked Chu Zhe for her, Chu Zhe casually agreed.

As Jiang Xinran packed her belongings and left the little courtyard, she encountered Chu Zhe standing tall by the arched gate. Their eyes met. Chu Zhe murmured, "You're... leaving?"

"The heir has given me to someone else, so of course I have to leave." After saying this, she walked through the gate without looking back.

Chu Zhe watched helplessly as Jiang Xinran climbed into the carriage. The curtain fell, and he never saw her again. A sudden pain pierced his chest.

Chu Zhe was the only son of the marquis's household. His birth mother had been harmed by his stepmother, and from childhood he had hated the schemes of the inner household. He had sworn never to marry, have children, or establish a household of his own.

But after meeting a woman named Jiang Xinran, he could no longer control his heart. Three days later, he stormed into his friend's concubine-taking banquet. "You can't take her as your concubine. She's mine."

His friend: "..."

Both leads are virgins.

Not a traditional inner-household-intrigue story. The focus is on the development of the romance.

A clever, strong heroine x a hero who seems gentle but is ruthless at heart

A story about a man who has renounced love and desire falling helplessly for a clever slave girl.

It's also a story about him having to win her back after ruining everything.

Coming soon: The Princess and Her Beloved. Please add it to your reading list!

The handsome Rong Jin is the star performer of a music house. With features like a painting and a voice like the heavens, he's known as the most beautiful man in the capital and has women falling over themselves to pursue him.

Yet he suffers from a terminal illness and has no more than three years to live. He performs but does not sell his body, and coldly rejects every expression of affection.

The first time Princess Luo Ran saw him, she couldn't tear her eyes away. She parted her lips and asked, "May I ask your name, young sir, and where you come from?"

Rong Jin glanced up, his face frosty, and spoke the harshest words in the most beautiful voice. "What does it matter to you who I am?" Then he swept away.

The princess left in disappointment, but returned a few days later. She waited at his door, hoping to see him, from sunrise until nightfall, until Rong Jin told her in a voice colder than ice, "Go away. I don't want to see you."

The princess lost her temper and arrived with mountains of gold and silver. She found the manager of the music house and said, "I want to buy Rong Jin's freedom and take him with me."

And so Rong Jin became a musician at the princess's residence. He was washed, groomed, and carried into the princess's bedchamber.

That night, he pinned the young woman into a corner of the bed, his eyes fierce. "Since you were the one who sought me out, you aren't allowed to abandon me."

Their families were divided by a deep national feud. In her previous life, she flirted with countless men, and he died without ever hearing her say, "I want you."

The princess nodded earnestly. "Of course I want you. I want you."

She had let him down in her previous life, but in this one, she had come back just to find him.

She would stand by him through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, all the way to the very peak of power!

A sweet romance, sweet to the extreme.
