Pre-release: Please add "After Becoming the Crown Prince's Bedchamber Maid" to your favorites! It's my next story~

Crown Prince Xiao Chengyan was a man of both letters and arms, noble and virtuous. He should have inherited the throne without a hitch, but he went missing and was presumed dead during a war.

The Jiang family's legitimate daughter, who was engaged to the crown prince, didn't want to spend her life as a widow, so she gave herself to a stable hand. But on the very night Miss Jiang lost her virginity, the crown prince came back from the dead and returned to the capital!

With the wedding fast approaching, the Jiang family could only send their beautiful second daughter, Jiang Yueyao, to seduce the crown prince and take her sister's place as his bride.

After resorting to several schemes, Jiang Yueyao got her wish and won the crown prince's favor. She entered the palace as a consort, but was executed after she was discovered secretly keeping a portrait of the man she loved.

Reborn, she kept the lessons of her past life in mind and burned every keepsake connected to the man she loved.

She thought that in this life, she and the crown prince would live together in harmony and grow old in peace. But one day, while accompanying him on a trip south of the Yangtze, they happened to pass the academy where her beloved studied.

In the crowd, her beloved walked by with books in hand. She couldn't stop herself from staring, completely unaware that the crown prince beside her had suddenly turned terrifyingly grim.

After the students had all left, the crown prince forcefully pinned her against the wall. His gentle voice was like a blade announcing her doom:

"Who were you looking at just now?"

"Is he better-looking than I am?"

The crown prince thought she was merely too fond of looking at other men, and that a few nights of punishment would be enough. But one day, he saw the painting she had secretly kept. The brushwork was masterful, each stroke flowing effortlessly, and only then did he realize that the man she had looked at that day was the one she had loved before marriage!

In the dim palace, Jiang Yueyao trembled as she held the brush, too afraid to paint.

The crown prince said carelessly, "Why aren't you painting? Are you still not familiar enough with me?"

"That's all right."

He gave a sinister smile. "The night is still long. You can pick up the brush once you're as familiar with me as you are with him."

Blurb: [Old-School Forced Possession] [The Heroine Chases the Hero After He Leaves Her]

A Fu is a young maid in the flower room of the empress's palace. She has beautiful, limpid eyes and a delicate, lovely face.

As she saves her own money, she waits for the day she can leave the palace when she comes of age and spend her life with the man she loves, the heir to the Marquis of Changping.

But Crown Prince Pei Shao of the Eastern Palace is about to marry, and he needs a maid to "test the bedchamber." The reward is twenty taels of silver.

When her younger sister falls into misfortune, she undresses, enters the crown prince's bedchamber barefoot, and offers herself in her place.

That night, the broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man is so vigorous he nearly crushes her.

The crown prince despises her lowly status, but is thoroughly pleased with her body. He grants her a favor and tells her to think carefully before answering.

A Fu takes only the reward money and gives no answer, hoping the matter will quietly pass.

But then the truth comes out, and the crown prince learns that A Fu and her sister switched places...

To save her life, A Fu becomes his bedchamber maid.

Everyone in the palace envies A Fu. Crown Prince Pei Shao is devastatingly handsome, a man of unmatched beauty. But only A Fu knows how cruel he is to her behind closed doors.

Whenever she sees Pei Shao, her legs go weak against her will...

Later, when the crown prince is about to marry, he fears that the bedchamber maid he cherishes will be bullied, so he promises A Fu: "After I marry, I'll promote you to a secondary consort. Don't be afraid."

A Fu agrees sweetly and obediently, but she knows the crown prince doesn't love her at all. He keeps her by his side only to satisfy his possessiveness.

More than being a concubine, she wants dignity and freedom.

Pei Shao, crown prince of the Wei dynasty, is dignified and noble, born to the imperial house, accustomed to power and privilege, and haughty to a fault.

An accident leads him to take a lowly maid to his bed.

He thinks that since she has received his favor, he may as well keep her.

But only after returning triumphantly to the capital does he search every corner of the Eastern Palace and fail to find A Fu. Then he realizes that the little bedchamber maid's gentle humility and pitiful charm had all been an act!

Several months later, a cosmetics shop in Jiangzhou is suddenly surrounded by soldiers.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard splits into two ranks. In the middle, their leader wears a bright yellow imperial robe and an exquisite jade crown.

A Fu is so frightened that all color drains from her lips. She hides timidly behind her husband.

Pei Shao leans close, his dark eyes cold and severe, and says ominously, "A runaway concubine dares to get married?"

Second pre-release story: "Three Years After Becoming a Widow." Forbidden romance, and the heroine chases the hero after he leaves her.

Blurb: Shen Nian comes from a merchant family. She has bright, beautiful eyes and a soft, delicate appearance. Through her family's connections, she becomes engaged to Wei Chifeng, the legitimate younger son of the Duke of Zhenguo.

But when the Shen family suddenly falls from grace, Shen Nian's position in the duke's household becomes precarious.

She hopes to rely on her husband to clear her family's name, but Wei Chifeng dies mysteriously one month after their wedding.

Branded as a husband-killer, ill-omened, and cursed, Shen Nian becomes a widow living in seclusion.

Three years later, Wei Yunzhou, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo, returns in triumph. In a secluded courtyard, he comes across Shen Nian planting flowers with her maid.

The beauty pouts and smiles, each expression impossibly lovely. She shows none of the grief of a woman whose husband has died.

In anger, Wei Yunzhou crushes a delicate flower bud underfoot. "You caused your husband to die, and you still have the heart to tend flowers?"

Shen Nian looks up and retreats in fright, protecting herself with her slender fingers as tears well in her eyes. "Brother, please hear me out."

Wei Yunzhou looks at his delicate, fair-skinned younger sister-in-law with disgust. He won't listen to her explanation and orders her to kneel in the family shrine.

Life in the duke's household is already difficult for Shen Nian, and it becomes even harder after the heir returns. He makes her kneel, copy books, and review the accounts.

His desire to control her gradually goes beyond what is proper between an elder brother and his younger brother's wife.

Until one night, when she brings him the account books and he unexpectedly pulls her into his tent. The familiar scent and position are just like the night he left the capital three years ago.

Memories come flooding back, and Shen Nian suddenly remembers that the Wei family young master who took her for a night of passion when she first arrived at the duke's household three years ago was not her husband, but Wei Yunzhou!

At first, Wei Yunzhou resents her for not mourning her late husband. Later, he resents her for being too virtuous.

"Niannian, I'm the one who was your husband in every way that matters."

"Niannian, has he ever kissed you like I have?"

"Niannian, am I not good enough?"

Trapped in a tiny space, Shen Nian's almond-shaped eyes are red and damp. "But, Brother, you're going to get married..."

Happy ending, sweet romance. The aloof heir falls for her step by step, fighting and competing for her, with plenty of indulgence!
