Upcoming novel Beauty on the Run blurb at the bottom. Please add it to your favorites!
Though Shanshan is a princess, she is not actually the emperor's biological daughter. Her mother treats her as a pawn, and the marriage everyone envies is merely meant to secure the throne for her younger brother.
If she gets dragged into a struggle for power, she'll likely end up in pieces.
She wants to escape this marriage, and then the perfect candidate comes along:
Xie Chen of the Ting'an Marquis's household.
He's handsome, proper, and well-mannered, and his family background is not particularly prominent.
If she marries him, she's sure to live out her days in peace.
Shanshan deliberately flirts with him several times, showing him favor and even throwing herself into his arms with a languid bend of her waist.
Yet Xie Chen manages to step back without changing his expression and say, "Your Highness, please behave with dignity."
The Empress keeps tightening the screws, but Xie Chen still shows no interest.
When she has nowhere else to turn, the heir to the Duke of Jin returns to the capital, so Shanshan arranges to meet him.
But she runs into Xie Chen again at the meeting, and his gaze is cold and indifferent.
Shanshan thinks he must be relieved to finally be rid of her.
But on the wedding day, beneath the glow of the red candles, the groom lies unconscious nearby.
Shanshan, dressed in her wedding clothes, is pinned to the bed. Xie Chen's fingers trace her trembling lips, and his eyes are filled with endless coldness.
"Didn't you say you liked me, Your Highness?"
"Why are you marrying someone else?"
-
Xie Chen is an abandoned child who crawled out of a gutter, barely surviving.
He knows he is filthy through and through, while Shanshan is noble and pure. He restrains himself, afraid that his presence will sully her clear eyes.
He never expected her to tell someone else that she liked him.
So her affection was false, and her tenderness was an act.
But it doesn't matter... He only needs to make this lie into the truth.
Xie Chen watched her smiling and chatting with someone else, crushing the cup in his hand.
Tips:
1. Neither lead is perfect. They save each other.
2. One-on-one / happy ending / both leads are each other's first and only partner
·Upcoming novel Bound by Your Heart: Blurb
[Groveling arc] [The unhinged hero bows to love]
After Susu was gravely injured and lost her memory, she was rescued by a handsome young man.
The man said his name was Yan Zhen and that he was her fiance. Her late parents had entrusted her to his care.
Yan Zhen doted on her and took care of her in every way.
Susu was deeply moved. Once she recovered, she followed her parents' last wishes and married him.
But gradually, she began to notice that something was wrong.
For example, even though she had clearly recovered, she still had to take medicine.
And even with guards around, Yan Zhen never let her leave the house.
One day, she secretly poured out her medicine and forced her way outside. Only then did she realize that the little courtyard where she lived was just the tip of the iceberg, and that she was surrounded by the sprawling, magnificent imperial palace.
Only then did Susu remember that Yan Zhen was the current emperor. Her mother's family had been stripped of their titles and thrown into prison soon after he ascended the throne.
She wanted to escape, but Yan Zhen came walking toward her in his imperial robes and crown. The heavily armed palace guards surrounded her residence so completely that no one could get in or out.
"Susu, where are you going?"
He looked down at her, as if teasing a bird in a cage. His eyes held the certainty that she would be his.
But she still escaped.
-
Every day after she left, Yan Zhen could only clutch her old clothes and toss restlessly on the empty bed, unable to sleep.
It turned out that he was the one imprisoned between them, the one under her control.
Even someone as domineering as Yan Zhen would one day bow at a woman's feet.
-
Gentle outside, strong inside, sickly beauty & unhinged, ruthless, the story's ultimate villain
Tips:
1. Groveling arc / amnesia / a little melodramatic / the male lead doesn't change
2. The blurb is from one character's perspective and doesn't reveal the whole truth
3. One-on-one / both leads are each other's first and only partner / happy ending
Theme: Marriage requires independence and mutual trust
If you don't want the heroine to marry someone else, then come back and take back the crown prince's position. It will be much easier to marry the heroine then~
Quick! Want to see the robbery scene! (=^▽^=)
This chapter describes the heroine in such a troubling manner that it makes me very tired to read it -_-||
OMG! When I start to follow which book and which one will be updated, the time will become uncertain.
The ceremony has not yet been completed, and it has not yet entered the Chu family's genealogy. Strictly speaking, it is indeed not considered to have married someone with the surname Chu~
It's so uncomfortable to watch. The exciting parts are completely gone.
The little princess is indeed soft-hearted towards Xiao Xie! (=^▽^=)
This Queen Lin is really annoying. I feel like she will cause trouble again in the future.
The male protagonist's character is somewhat incapable of self-reflection. He treats others like that, so he still blames them for not being sincere? Your attitude is actually unworthy. How can you blame the dog for not licking seriously enough?
