Yan Qianhui

Blurb: [Proud, Teasing Beauty x Scheming, Devoted, Jealous Hound]

Liang Yan, the eldest princess of the Jiang Kingdom, was captivating and charming, with bewitching, foxlike eyes and a soft, slender waist. Every frown and smile made countless men fall for her and willingly become her household guests.

As a result, her reputation at court was infamous.

Liang Yan didn't care about her reputation. It was just a smokescreen.

One day, among a crowd of prisoners, Liang Yan spotted a man of unparalleled beauty, with a cold, aloof air deep in his bones.

Struck by his looks, Liang Yan brought him back to the princess's residence.

Her long fingers were about to caress his brows and eyes, but he dodged her touch.

She gripped his chin. Liang Yan's eyes turned cold. "Today is the seventeenth, so from now on, I'll call you Seventeen. When I touch you, it's an honor."

She teased and tempted him in every way, determined to make him willingly kneel at her red skirts.

He did kneel, but her Seventeen was none other than Zhao Qianyu, the War God and Prince Rui of the Southern Dynasty.

He had merely lost his memory...

=

Zhao Qianyu, Prince Rui of the Southern Dynasty, was known as the War God for his ruthless decisiveness. He never expected to be tricked and captured by the Jiang Kingdom while reinforcing a neighboring state.

After losing his memory, Zhao Qianyu somehow became the personal attendant of the eldest princess of the Jiang Kingdom.

On the surface, he was her personal attendant. In plain terms, he was a household guest.

Zhao Qianyu scoffed. He tried to escape, but failed.

He had no idea when it began, but whenever he saw the other pretty boys at the princess's residence doing everything they could to make Liang Yan smile,

he turned red-eyed with jealousy.

Later, Zhao Qianyu recovered his memories and returned to the Southern Dynasty, taking Liang Yan with him. She had once thrown his heart into turmoil, after all.

The eldest princess could belong to him alone.

The pretty boys at her residence could forget about laying a finger on her.

"Beg me, and I'll let you go back."

Zhao Qianyu lifted her chin and caught her sash between his fingers. "When you used to tease me, Princess, did you ever imagine that one day you'd fall into my hands?"

The wind stirred their breathing, and the tent bells swayed in the breeze.

Zhao Qianyu had always possessed remarkable self-control, but from the moment he fell for her, he changed completely.

To him, proper manners and decorum were nothing compared to hearing her whisper his name.

He had thought about the little mole on her neck for so long. Now he gently traced it with his fingers. "The princess has always been strong and rarely cries, but I love hearing you cry."

--- Blurb for The Golden Hall and Jade Palace:

Fake siblings, possessive love

The late emperor once seized a minister's wife. Anping was the unwanted child her mother brought into the palace.

One day, the young emperor went to pray at a temple and saw Princess Anping, who lived there, being bullied. He brought her back to the palace and looked after her.

Everyone praised the young emperor's kindness and generosity.

Anping honored and respected this imperial brother, and obediently tried to please him.

But there was something sinister and strange in the way her imperial brother looked at her, like a wolf watching its prey...

Then one absurd night changed their once-innocent sibling relationship.

Anping's wedding was only three days away.

A governess taught the "naive and inexperienced" girl about married life.

At night, her imperial brother checked everything she had learned that day, down to the smallest detail.

On the eve of the wedding, her fiancé's family was convicted and executed, and the marriage was called off.

But the Golden Hall and Jade Palace gained a beauty who would bring him pleasure night and day.

In the dim candlelight, the young emperor gently wiped away her tears. "I taught you everything myself, dear sister. How could I bear to let you serve another man?"

*

Not long after, Anning fled, and the young emperor searched for her like a madman.

In the water towns of Jiangnan, the young emperor saw her with his own eyes, nestled in another man's arms, laughing and chatting happily. It was once the way she had been closest to him.

So the one she had always loved was the man before her.

The young emperor gave a cold laugh of rage. "You're carrying my child, dear sister. Where do you think you can run?"

From then on, candles burned every night in the cold, silent Golden Hall and Jade Palace, until Anping became pregnant.
