The Young Plum Blossom of a Spoiled Playboy

My other book, "The Real Heiress Became a Lazy Empress," is now available. Come check it out, cuties~

A delicate, bookish noble girl x a carefree, spoiled young master

White walls and blue tiles, with a light rain drifting beyond the eaves.

Beneath the roof, a taciturn little girl twists her fingers together, her eyes reddened from being bullied.

"See? She's a little stutterer!"

"The daughter of a military family can't use a sword or a spear and only knows how to read. She's an embarrassment to the daughters of military families!"

"Little stutterer, are you really your family's child?"

A chestnut horse races over, splashing up layers of water. The spirited young man on its back glances at the girl and whistles to tease her. "Little stutterer, getting bullied again?"

At his words, tears spill down the little girl's cheeks.

The boy keeps grinning and reaches out to her. "Don't cry. I'll take you out to have some fun!"

The little girl looks at the puddles everywhere and her brand-new shoes, shakes her head, then turns away and ignores him.

The boy mutters, "What a bother," then calls out, "If they get dirty, I'll buy you new ones. Come on, let's go have fun!"

As he pulls the little girl onto the horse, he asks with a laugh in her ear, "Remember who bullied you?"

She nods. The next moment, the horse gallops off, and she clings to his waist in fright.

The spirited boy's brows lift slightly, and he grins in satisfaction.

That very day, he takes her around to each household, smashing the homes of everyone who bullied her to pieces with his long halberd and getting even for her.

"This is my little stutterer. Who do you think you are to call her that?"

"The Real Heiress Became a Lazy Empress"

Through a twist of fate, a commoner's daughter accidentally becomes the young lady of the Duke of Ning's family, while the true young lady is left among the common people, struggling to make ends meet each day.

When Xue Baozhu's birth parents from a powerful family find her, she's squatting on the ground tending a fire. She watches as the elegantly dressed woman before her rolls her eyes back and faints.

Back in the Duke of Ning's residence, her situation is awkward:

Her highborn parents think she's crude and favor the fake heiress. "We've raised Yue'er for sixteen years, after all. She's a young lady of the Duke's household just like you. You mustn't bully her."

Her biological older brother sneers at her. "Yue'er will always be my only sister."

The famous young gentleman of the capital, who should have been her fiancé, doesn't even want to look at her. "I won't marry a fool who's nothing but a pretty face. Yue'er is the only one I'll marry. Don't even think about it."

And the fake heiress, Jiang Jinyue, clings to her every day and weeps. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. You won't blame me, will you?"

Xue Baozhu raises an eyebrow. "Your family seems lovely. I won't intrude."

She promptly returns to her adoptive parents and helps out at their little shop.

Golden rice with sliced fish in jade broth, crab-stuffed oranges

Dongpo pork, honey-glazed cherries

Before she knows it, the little shop becomes a restaurant, its branches spread across the capital, and the Xue family rises to become the richest in the land.

The highborn parents who once despised Xue Baozhu as crude and low-class regret it deeply and come every day, begging her to return home.

*

Rumors that Xue Baozhu is having an affair with one of her shop assistants spread like wildfire. When the Duke of Ning hears, he curses her for bringing shame on the family and storms over to teach his daughter a lesson.

But as soon as he steps inside, he sees the unpredictable tyrant standing meekly in front of Xue Baozhu with his head bowed, being scolded:

"You broke three bowls today, so no dinner tonight!"

The Duke of Ning's knees buckle, and he falls to the floor. This is the lover from the rumors???

Xue Baozhu shrugs like a lazy fish. "You might not believe me, but the assistant I picked up on a whim turned out to be the emperor (*￣︶￣)."

Coming Soon: Book 2

"The Spoiled Brat"

A spoiled brat x a princess with a princess complex

Zhuzhu's version:

In the Great Jin dynasty, women are admired for their talents, and noble girls attend school with their male cousins from a young age.

But Zhuzhu, the little daughter of the Duke of Ying's family, is an exception. She only loves fine clothes and delicious food. Since she hates studying, she hides away with her maternal grandparents in Jiangnan from the age of five.

Zhuzhu says: "My older sisters can make a name for the family. I'll just focus on eating, drinking, and having fun (*￣︶￣)."

But the good times don't last. When Zhuzhu turns fifteen, the old lady of the Duke of Ying's family personally drags her back to the capital and sends her to school.

On her very first day, Zhuzhu arrives late.

She makes quite an entrance. The whole school hears that the pampered girl from Jiangnan, who never studied a day in her life, is back, and that her beauty is the talk of the capital.

The talented girls who've been taught not to care about their looks: "Weren't we supposed to value talent?"

Song Ji's version:

Song Ji is the emperor's youngest son, born in his later years, spoiled rotten and notorious throughout the capital as a wastrel.

"Young Master Ji, there's a new girl at the Drunken Immortal Tower. She's beautiful and talented!"

"Never mind. Is she prettier than the little young lady of the Duke of Ying's family?"

"Young Master Ji, have you seen her? She's in your school."

Song Ji scoffs. "Would I ever be interested in some ignorant little girl?"

Just then, the little young lady of the Duke of Ying's family happens to pass by in her carriage. The curtain lifts slightly, and Song Ji catches a glimpse of her breathtaking beauty. His Adam's apple bobs. Maybe I could...

Later, in front of the entire school, Song Ji sits across from Zhuzhu as she cries over her essay. He snatches the pen from her hand and grins. "Give me a kiss, and I'll write it for you."

Zhuzhu wipes her tears and shakes her head in disdain. "I'm second from the bottom, and you're at the bottom. You'd better not."

Song Ji: "..."

Later, somehow, the wastrel who used to do nothing but chase cats and dogs and show off on horseback settles down and becomes the top scholar in the capital.

Song Ji: "It's all so I can help Zhuzhu with her homework!"

A little scene:

His friends celebrate a birthday at the Drunken Immortal Tower. While everyone else drinks with the courtesans, Song Ji writes furiously.

His friends: "Young Master Ji, stop writing and come drink!"

Song Ji doesn't even look up. "Get lost! Can't you see I'm doing Zhuzhu's homework? If I don't finish, you'll all have to help me write it."

That night, all the courtesans in the brothel watch as the group of wastrels grumble and do their homework.
