Now That I've Seen Spring Begonia

· Completed. New novel, Moonlight Carries Me, now underway. Weibo: @Xiao Yu Juan Yi Juan Ming Ying had known since childhood that she had only been given the title of princess, while her actual status was low. So she was careful in everything and never provoked anyone. At the banquet celebrating her return to her birth family, she finally shed her princess identity. But after getting drunk that night, she wound up spending a reckless night with her elder brother, Fu Huaiyan. Ming Ying suddenly opened her eyes and saw Fu Huaiyan calmly straightening his clothes. Looking down at her, he said, "Imperial Sister." Later, when it was time to choose a consort for the Crown Prince, Fu Huaiyan sent Ming Ying to a temple outside the capital under the pretext of praying for blessings, presumably to keep people from getting suspicious. Ming Ying knew he was about to marry a noblewoman and that she was nothing but a liability. After weighing her options, she chose to run away in secret. Yuanling was far from Shengjing. Ming Ying lived there for several months, claiming to be a widow, before she finally felt at ease. She heard that the new emperor had taken the throne and now held all the power. Surrounded by beauties, he must surely have forgotten their reckless past. But this place was far from the capital, where local officials held absolute power. Seeing that she was a powerless widow, the county magistrate intended to offer her to the provincial governor in exchange for a promotion. By the time Ming Ying packed her belongings, Lie Wei was already waiting outside. At the deputy magistrate's residence, she looked up and saw a man seated in the place of honor, casually turning a string of sandalwood prayer beads in his hand. His appearance was breathtaking, his bearing incomparably noble. He was no governor of Wuzhou. He was her former elder brother, now the new emperor, Fu Huaiyan. Ming Ying stumbled backward in shock, but he blocked her way. Fu Huaiyan leaned down and asked softly, "Imperial Sister, where do you think you're running to now? Hmm?" He had been praised since youth, celebrated as a man of virtue and grace. But when it came to this so-called imperial sister, he had never been innocent. ·A fragile yet clear-eyed fake princess X a refined scoundrel, her real elder brother ·Happy ending, both first loves, no blood relation between them. The heroine's identity was already revoked in Chapter One, when she was welcomed back into her birth family. Pre-release novel 1: Moonlight Carries Me The first time Chu Ling saw Song Lingyou, he had yet to become the powerful man he would later be. He was down on his luck, still obscure, and at the mercy of anyone who wanted to bully him. That day, snow lay deep in Lidu. She carried an umbrella through a secluded palace and lost herself for a moment when she saw him. Then she noticed the wound on his hand and asked softly: "...Does it hurt?" She taught him how to treat his wounds and how to protect himself in the inner palace. Song Lingyou had never met anyone like her. She could barely protect herself, yet she still wanted to save him. It was utterly foolish. Until one day, when Chu Ling was half-conscious, she reached up and touched the tiny mole beneath his eye. Then she called him by his elder brother's name. · Later, Song Lingyou returned to Yedu. He went from a hostage living under someone else's roof to a new emperor with absolute power, beyond anyone's challenge. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was lead an army to the Lidu palace, where he had once been bullied. As the army closed in, Song Lingyou entered the capital like it was unguarded. Emperor Ye cowered on his throne and asked what he wanted. "Your Majesty's elder sister." Song Lingyou added with a smile: "Chu Ling." Everyone assumed the royal family had bullied the new emperor so badly that he had marched on the capital just to take revenge. Chu Ling was being sent to marry into a foreign court. Surely she would have a miserable fate. Later, in the silent palace halls, Chu Ling tried to stifle her quiet sobs. Song Lingyou stopped, lifted her chin with his hand, and made her look at him as he asked hoarsely: "Can you tell the difference now?" "...Between your elder brother and me." In secret, I have imagined you countless times. Pre-release novel 2: Hide My Spring Oriole Before the Chengping Marquis household was raided, Jiang Fuyu's cousin was a young prodigy famed throughout the capital, and her maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Chengping, was a renowned founding general. She had been engaged to her cousin since childhood, and everyone in the capital envied her match. Then came a sudden case accusing the family of treason and collusion with the enemy. The emperor flew into a rage, her grandfather was convicted, and her fiancé was thrown into prison. As Jiang Fuyu knelt in the palace, begging the emperor to show mercy and investigate the marquis household's alleged rebellion, the capital was dark with gathering storms. A man came walking slowly out of the gloom. It was Wei Zhen, the regent who now controlled the government. He held a bamboo umbrella and paused beside Jiang Fuyu. Then he bent down, tilted the umbrella over her, and gave a leisurely, mocking laugh. "Miss Jiang, are you trying to save the man you love?" He spoke coolly. "Instead of asking His Majesty... why not ask me?" * Wei Zhen was always calculating and unpredictable. Dealing with him was like making a pact with a tiger. Jiang Fuyu had no choice but to ask for his help, but she had never imagined getting any further entangled with him. By the time her grandfather's name was finally cleared, Wei Zhen was away on campaign. To avoid complications, her grandfather set an early wedding date for her and her cousin. They hastily married before the end of the year. That evening, heavy snow fell. Drums and gongs sounded in the distance, but she sat alone in her room for a long time, waiting for the groom who never came. Half the wedding candles had burned down when she finally heard someone slowly approaching. The newcomer used the cold edge of a sword to lift her bridal veil. The silk split apart under the force of the blade. She looked up in a daze and met a pair of dark eyes. The man who should have been away on campaign now stood before her with a long sword in his hand, snow dusting his hair as he looked down at her. "You dared to provoke me, and now you think you can marry someone else?" "You think you can escape me like this?" Wei Zhen gave a soft laugh. "Xiaoman, you're always so naive."
