[Pre-Order] Locking Frostblossoms
[Blurb]
Xiao Wanshu, the eldest princess of Jin, was born with a face of jade and the grace of an immortal. Because she was not favored, she was forced to take another bride's place and marry the neighboring kingdom's ruthless khan.
On the day of the political marriage, her imperial brother Xiao Heng swept down like a thunderbolt and rescued her from the jaws of danger. Even if the whole world cursed him, he would not send his sister away.
*
At first, Xiao Wanshu naively thought this was simply the love between siblings.
When she fell ill, he would wash his hands and cook for her. When her fever refused to break, he would pray to the gods, asking only that she be safe.
Under his protection, she was able to live in peace, and life seemed to have returned to the carefree days of old.
Xiao Wanshu almost regarded Xiao Heng as a god.
*
Gradually, Xiao Heng's care for her began to take on a different cast. He liked to pretend it was an accident when he touched her skin. He liked to feed her with his own hands. He liked to rub her pale palm and say, "A-Wan, it's so soft."
They had long since crossed the line they should never have crossed.
*
It was only when Xiao Wanshu learned that she was not Xiao Heng's biological sister that the barrier between them finally broke.
After that day, the golden chain he had forged for her with his own hands finally had a use.
And from that day on, she glimpsed the fierce love in Xiao Heng's dark eyes.
*
It was the most passionate love, and a lightless cage.
But in the end, it seemed that he himself was the one trapped by the chain and the cage.

Locking Frostblossoms
The most voluptuous and beautiful consort in the capital, a bewitching beauty as fluid as water.
Beneath her splendid glory, Shen Shuanghua knows she is the calamity everyone at court wants to destroy.
And he is no exception.
The upheaval at the Xuan Gate, the empire's collapse, the emperor's death.
White mourning banners and funeral music fill the air. The noble consort bows her slender shoulders, her graceful frame delicate with grief as she sobs.
The new emperor stands tall and straight as a green bamboo. A golden boot comes to rest beneath the noble consort's gaze, while everyone watches in secret, eager for the spectacle.
Who does not know that in his days of obscurity, the new emperor, Li Han, once shared a romance with her?
But faced with the overwhelming riches of entering the palace, the noble consort cut off their love and entered the palace to climb to a higher branch.
With old and new grudges between them, she would be lucky to escape without being skinned alive.
Shen Shuanghua thought so too.
But who could have expected a warm hand to suddenly pull her to her feet?
Li Han looked down at her, his eyes unreadable.
"Noble Consort, it has been a long time."
As if in a dream, Shen Shuanghua was astonished that not only had she escaped death, but she had also become the Grand Dowager Consort, second only to The Outcast.
Though Li Han gave nothing away, he personally placed the golden seal symbolizing authority over the harem in her hands.
She secretly rejoiced, thinking Li Han had let go of his old grudge and forgiven her.
Until one day, she had a dream.
In it, she lay on a couch, her skin pale and smooth, coughing weakly as she hovered near death.
Li Han came in person and cared for her without changing his clothes or leaving her side.
She was deeply grateful and ashamed of what she had done in the past.
But who could have expected the dream that followed to turn as lush as spring? The man suddenly bent over her, sealing her lips with a kiss as waves of passion rose and fell.
Shen Shuanghua was terrified for days. When she happened to see the new emperor, he was still dignified and distant, and she finally relaxed.
They were only nightmares. Why dwell on them?
Until one day, she caught a spring chill and awoke to find her lips slightly swollen.
The maid said in a trembling voice, "His Majesty came by."
Terrified out of her wits, she immediately decided to go to the imperial mausoleum and keep vigil for the late emperor.
Li Han sat high upon the throne, looking down at her with an impassive expression. "The imperial mausoleum is bleak and lonely. The Dowager Consort seems terribly bored to me. Perhaps having a prince would help."
Shen Shuanghua's face turned deathly pale.
Only then did she realize that beneath this gentle, divine countenance lay the cracked foundation of a demon's desire.
She was a caged bird, falling into his palm, with no hope of peace.
[Notes]
Both leads are virgins.
Both leads are reborn.
The female lead is only a consort in name.
Theme: Life is about growing through the things we continually strive for, and happiness is no different.
I originally thought that the male protagonist had liked the female protagonist a long time ago, but after reading a few chapters, the relationship between the male protagonist and the female protagonist was not even as good as friends, let alone the relationship between brother and sister. Isn't it normal for the male protagonist to save his sister as a brother? Because of this action, the female protagonist actually felt that this was a huge favor. From the beginning to the end, the female protagonist looked up to the male protagonist. It is strange and uncomfortable. If the male protagonist did not like the female protagonist later, then I can only say that it is difficult to comment.
There are so many typos. It's hard to read. I hope the author can improve it a lot.
