Begonias Embroidering the Spring Breeze

My next book, When Spring Mountain Catches Fire: A lofty beauty is lured down from his pedestal, and things get steamy.

Blurb:

Shen Qingtang accidentally saves a young man in white who has been poisoned. With no way to repay her, he offers himself to her.

Though he's as frail as a sick willow, he does have a handsome, refined face. Taking home a pretty young husband to care for would only cost her some medicinal herbs, so Shen Qingtang agrees without much hesitation.

One day, her thrifty, domestic young husband says, "I'm grateful you don't look down on me, Miss. Though I'm frail and often ill, thankfully I have a head full of knowledge. I can go out and teach, earn money to support the family, cough, cough..."

Just listen to him, so considerate and devoted to his family! Shen Qingtang is deeply moved, and watches her young husband leave with tears in her eyes.

And then... then he never comes back??

An unwelcome visitor arrives at the Northern Garrison Command. A young woman brings all her savings and pleads through her tears:

"My husband is frail and can't take care of himself. He surely can't withstand the torture here. I don't know what he's done wrong, but I beg you, sirs, please spare his life if you can."

The Embroidered Guards exchange glances, looking troubled. "May we ask your husband's name?"

Shen Qingtang: "His surname is Wei, Young Master Wei! I heard they had to carry him in."

Just then, Wei Heng returns from work, chatting and laughing with his colleagues. When he spots the woman kneeling at the entrance, his smile freezes for a moment.

A seemingly mild but secretly ruthless Embroidered Guard commander x an innocent, adorable young physician

My next book, When Spring Mountain Catches Fire: a seductive beauty x a cold, chaste man

On their wedding night, her coarse, violent husband dies drunk.

Everyone in the Marquis's household pities Yingying for becoming a young widow, but Yingying presses an onion to her eyes to make herself cry, thinking Heaven has finally opened its eyes.

The only drawback is that she has no children, making it hard to keep the family fortune.

With no other choice, she sets her sights on her late husband's cousin as a way to have a child.

The eldest son, Pei Jingyan, who manages the household, has the face of an immortal, but a heart as cold as stone and no interest in romance.

When he sees her, his chilly gaze is as sharp as a blade, without the slightest hint of affection. "I don't like filth."

Filth?

Yingying looks herself up and down, completely perplexed. She holds out a smooth, jade-white wrist to him. "I wash very thoroughly. I even soak in flower petals. Don't believe me? Have a smell."

The eldest young master pauses, then says nothing and throws her out.

And then... then Yingying can never sneak into his room again??

**

The younger generation of the Pei family has long suffered under the strict house rules, but ever since their second sister-in-law arrived, life has become much more relaxed.

They hear that a troupe of acrobats has come to the Tianxiang Tower, bare-chested and showing off their muscles, with strong limbs and firm bodies as they dance with hundred-pound broadswords. Who wouldn't want to go see the spectacle?

So Yingying makes the decision, and while Pei Jingyan is away, secretly leads a group of eager younger relatives out...

The next day, the younger ones kneel in a row outside the ancestral hall, copying the house rules as punishment.

As they write furiously, one of them innocently says, "See? Second Brother's spirit tablet is in the ancestral hall. No matter what, Big Brother won't punish Second Sister-in-Law."

Yingying arrives with some fruit and pastries to check on them. Her legs go weak, and she nearly cries, wishing she could forget what happened.

Actually, he did punish her, and it was awful...

Pei Jingyan after he gets a taste of passion is truly terrifying.
