The Demon Consort's Moon-Plucking Journal

Pre-release: My Husband May Be Blind, opening December 26. Please add it to your collection! There is a lady in the Inviting Moon Palace. They say she is peerlessly beautiful, a woman whose smile alone can captivate the world. The emperor lavished her with favor, left the six inner courts empty for her, and spent extravagantly on construction. He let the court complain as it pleased, all for the sake of winning a smile from his beauty. So they all said that a demon lived in the Inviting Moon Palace, one who sucked away people's vitality and wreaked havoc on the government. Ji Linglong was a wicked consort. She brought ruin to the nation, lived in obscene luxury, and preyed on the people. The whole world condemned her, and memorials denouncing her piled up outside the imperial study. But she only found it ironic. "Every one of the three thousand bricks in this imperial city is stained with the blood and flesh of my father and brothers. Every inch of the three thousand miles of soil cries out with the blood and spirit of my Ji family." "I'm the one who should hate him." Then, one day, she met someone as elegant and noble as the moon in the clouds. For the first time, Ji Linglong wanted to pluck down the moon. The man in the clouds eventually turned red-eyed. Fu Chi's gaze was deep as he asked, "Why must you insist on provoking me..." "You are the emperor's wife, and I am his subject." Ji Linglong thought that perhaps loving someone was a very happy thing. Even if the moon shattered, it was enough that she had pulled it down herself. Important content warnings: 1.

Pre-release: My Husband May Be Blind. Please add it to your collection! Shi Yu'er lived under someone else's roof and was born beautiful and charming. She spent every day walking on eggshells, afraid of doing anything that might displease her second uncle. Who could have guessed that, through a twist of fate, someone would drug her and she would sleep with a tutor from the household? She never imagined that the usually gentle tutor would be so fierce in bed. Shi Yu'er vaguely remembered her hands being held over her head, her wrists pinned down by him. She couldn't even make a sound, only a whimper caught in her throat. Terrified, she hurried away from him as soon as she woke. But the affair was still exposed, and her second uncle drove her from the house in disgrace. Her cousin was smug with success. He said that if she came to him, he wouldn't mind her ruined virtue and would deign to give her the position of a concubine. Shi Yu'er thought back on her days living under someone else's roof, gritted her teeth, and went without looking back to beg the blind tutor. Though he was blind, his heart was true. She clung to his waist, weeping and sobbing, though her eyes were perfectly calm. In a soft voice, she put on a heartfelt act to perfection: "Sir, you took my virtue. You have to take responsibility..." Shen Linchuan was blind and couldn't see her face. He could only feel his way to wipe the tear tracks from her tender skin. Just as he had that night, he spoke softly: "I can't see the way ahead. You'll have to lead me." · Shen Linchuan was refined and gentle, a peerlessly handsome man and the dream lover of every woman in the capital. But no one knew that a year ago, he had been ambushed and spent a period of humiliation after losing his sight. During that time, he was not only subjected to abuse, but also shared a bed with a woman, taking her virtue. Though blind and unable to see her, Shen Linchuan knew that her skin was soft as silk and her voice like an oriole's. She must have been an incomparable beauty. Even after he was rescued and brought back to the capital following his serious injury, he still dreamed of her, night after night, with her face like a hibiscus wet with dew. Yet her features remained hazy, her true appearance impossible to make out. After much deliberation, Shen Linchuan silently returned to the alley where the two of them had once lived. Just then, a woman dressed as a married lady came toward him with graceful steps, her eyes like autumn waters and her lips as red as cinnabar. When she saw him, the woman froze. The wooden basin in her hands fell to the ground, and she buried her face against his chest, eyes red as she sobbed, "Husband, you're back..." As he had before, Shen Linchuan stroked her dark hair. But this time, he saw through the fear and pretense in her eyes. Shi Yu'er wept like pearls falling, as if she had suffered endless grievances. Pointing toward the neighboring courtyard, she complained, "They all bully me and call me a widow..." Reading guide: 1. The leads have a seven-year age gap. 2. A doting, fatherly husband. 3.
