Coming soon: the fantasy novel Tales of Terror from the Immortal Sect. The blurb is at the very end.
A Luan was born with a celestial beauty, graceful and lovely.
But war separated her from her family. To escape beggars and bandits, she had no choice but to beg for help from Xie Heng, heir to the Duke of Chu, who happened to be passing by.
Xie Heng was badly wounded at the time, so he took her in as a maid to care for him.
From then on, A Luan became a target of everyone at the Duke of Chu's residence. They all said that their usually aloof and dignified heir had been bewitched by this vixen.
Only A Luan knew that, even after spending day and night together, Xie Heng had never felt the slightest affection for her.
When news came that the emperor was returning to the capital, A Luan finally left without a word and fled the Duke of Chu's residence. The identity of A Luan, the maid, vanished along with her.
Only Xie Heng's eyes reddened as he looked at the hungry baby in his arms.

Jiang Baoluan, the Grand Princess of Dingguo, had been doted on since childhood. Beautiful and radiant, she was the most precious jewel of the Great Wei Empire.
But Jiang Baoluan had a hidden past, and because of it, those around her cherished her all the more.
One day, Jiang Baoluan went out in a splendid carriage drawn by fine horses, surrounded by a tight guard. The people crowded around to catch a glimpse.
A gauzy curtain shifted, revealing part of the princess's flawless face. She was breathtakingly beautiful, noble and precious.
But Jiang Baoluan suddenly panicked.
Among the onlookers, a pair of hawklike eyes watched her from the shadows. Memories long buried came rushing back, and all Jiang Baoluan wanted was to run.
Xie Heng watched the carriage carrying the Grand Princess of Dingguo disappear, his gaze dark. The three-year-old child holding his hand looked up at him and asked, “Father, is that Mother?”

On the day her country fell and her family was destroyed, Xie Heng single-handedly rescued Jiang Baoluan from the rebel army.
His handsome face was grim. With the tip of a bloodied blade, he lifted the chin of the Grand Princess of Dingguo, who was cowering nearby. “A Luan, I believe I told you what would happen if you dared to run.”
The throne changed hands, and the rebels yielded it to the Duke of Chu. Everyone thought that the disgraced princess, who had killed her husband and son, wouldn't survive long in Xie Heng's hands.
Even Jiang Baoluan herself waited for the day Xie Heng would kill her.
Instead, what arrived was an imperial edict granting them a marriage.
Years later, when the fallen princess had become the new dynasty's empress, Jiang Baoluan heard Xie Heng tell her, “You can never run away again.”
Jiang Baoluan said, “Congratulations. Neither can you.”

Tales of Terror from the Immortal Sect
After transmigrating, Luo Mingyue found herself in a cultivation novel as the wicked supporting woman.
The original heroine, Xiao Ruoshui, had endured years in the Void Realm before finally severing her ill-fated bond with the ruler of the Void Realm, Rong Zhao, and returning to take revenge. But Luo Mingyue had secretly fallen for her master, He Baiqing, and grew jealous of Xiao Ruoshui, his childhood friend. She repeatedly made mistakes, until her spiritual roots were destroyed and she was expelled from the sect. She would never again have a chance to cultivate immortality, and died destitute.
Luo Mingyue had this to say: “You're already cultivating immortality, so why are you still obsessing over romance? How do you even sleep at night?”
And so Luo Mingyue, the most ordinary talent among the senior disciples, became a terrifying legend of the Chixiao Sect.
Feared wherever she went, her fame spreading far and wide.
If she couldn't be the best disciple in the immortal sect, she'd be the hardest-working one.
But in the end, He Baiqing accused Luo Mingyue of hating Xiao Ruoshui, who had just returned after severing her ill-fated bond in the Void Realm. Luo Mingyue couldn't defend herself, became everyone's target, and was thrown into the Void Realm, nearly powerless.
On the day she first arrived in the Void Realm, Luo Mingyue crawled out of a river of blood and grabbed a passerby. Barely able to speak, she said, “Hello, I'm Luo Mingyue. He Baiqing threw me in here, and I need your help. Pull me out, and I'll share everything I've learned in my life with you. Tomorrow, you can become my follower, and I'll help you work your way to the top!”
The passerby, Rong Zhao: “...”

Rong Zhao was the ruler of the Void Realm. He came from primordial chaos, and his origins were shrouded in mystery.
On the first day after emerging from seclusion, he saw Luo Mingyue, covered in blood but still trying to sell him on a grand promise.
He had meant to cut off her hand on the spot, but he thought he saw a trace of Xiao Ruoshui in her face.
The only woman he had ever loved, the one he had been willing to give up everything for.
But later, when Xiao Ruoshui approached with her sword raised and tears glimmering in her eyes, she said to him, “Rong Zhao, you promised you would let us go.”
The handsome, refined man, peerless in all the world, was no longer shrouded in a sinister aura. Standing beside the striking Luo Mingyue, he smiled and said, “I'm not him.”
