The Princess Flirts with Her Shadow Guard Every Day

Coming soon: Call Me Big Brother

Blurb:

Feng Yi has been Liang Qingyuan's bodyguard ever since she was ten.

Later, she grew into a beautiful, captivating princess. When the Tianxun Kingdom was conquered, she married the ruler of the enemy nation to save her parents. He remained by her side, silently protecting her, until one day she said, "Take me away."

He led her out of the enemy palace, and died that snowy night.

When ten-year-old Liang Qingyuan awoke from her dream, she couldn't remember what it had been about. She only knew she had to go see someone.

That meeting led her to bring Feng Yi back from the bodyguard camp. When she was fifteen, Liang Qingyuan began taking lessons to become a palace lady official.

After class, her thoughts turned to all sorts of strange things, and her heart began to race. She rolled over and came face to face with her bodyguard. He wore the same mask he had never taken off in all these years. She hadn't seen his face in five years, and tonight, she felt like taking a look...

"Come down and take off your mask."

Feng Yi, perched on the rafters, gave her a peculiar look. "Your Highness, please think twice. I cannot remove my mask." His words refused, but his hands were more than willing.

Liang Qingyuan: "If I see your face, do I have to marry you?"

Feng Yi: ...

The second time,

Liang Qingyuan looked at a certain book in her hands and said, "The man in this picture is so ugly, with such a short, stocky build. Come down so I can compare you two."

"...Your Highness, please think it over again. I am a man." Feng Yi refused once more, wondering what she took him for.

Liang Qingyuan tapped the book and stared at him. "You practice martial arts, so you must have broad shoulders and a slim waist. I'm sure you're better-looking than him."

Feng Yi: Well, I suppose that could work.

Feng Yi is a priest of the Spirit Clan. He came to the imperial palace as a bodyguard to protect his people's Saintess, but never expected Liang Qingyuan to force him into becoming her bodyguard instead.

Cold and stubborn by nature, he would rather take a beating than serve as her bodyguard. But when he was gravely wounded by someone who tried to kill him, Liang Qingyuan risked her life to save him.

From then on, he decided she belonged to him.

If she wanted it, if she asked for it, he would give her anything.

Call Me Big Brother

Blurb:

When she was seven, Qu Lingxi's father died in battle and her mother followed him in death. Left with no one, she became an orphan and was adopted as the former prime minister's goddaughter.

The former prime minister had a distinguished young master, gifted and refined. On the day she arrived, he looked at her coldly and said, "Call me Big Brother."

"...Big Brother," she said timidly.

Eight years later, Qu Lingxi had become the most beautiful woman in Yezhou. Suitors came to the Song residence so often that in a few days they would wear down the threshold. On the night of her fifteenth birthday, Song Qijing came to her room.

She lowered her head and deliberately put on an ingratiating act. "Big Brother." In truth, she hated him, because beneath his handsome exterior lurked a demon.

"Go on, keep pretending. I like watching you pretend." He sat down, his gaze dark, and tapped the spot beside him again and again. "Come here. I have a birthday present for you."

From then on, he came to her room whenever he had time.

A year later, Song Qijing passed the highest imperial examination and went to the capital to take up an official post. A few days later, Qu Lingxi married someone else.

She had thought she could finally escape him, but her husband ran into trouble when he went to the capital to take up his post.

When they met again, Song Qijing sat on the bed, his face full of mockery. "Dear little sister, I thought you'd forgotten all about me."

"...Big Brother, please let him go." Her face was flushed, and she had only just stopped crying.

"Not enough. Say it again." He watched her with interest and murmured, "After all, I'm insatiable."
