Novel Blurb

Yun Qingqing, the beloved daughter of a minister, came to the capital to visit relatives, only to be surrounded by bandits.

The setting sun blazed like fire as the wind swept fallen leaves away. A handsome young man rode up, like a god descended from heaven.

The god spoke, merciless and cruel: "If you agree to give yourself to me, I'll save you."

From then on, the handsome young man became impossible to get rid of.

Ling Wuyi, commander of the Imperial Guard, always wore a mask in public. No one knew what he truly looked like.

Rumor had it he was handsome in his youth, had killed countless people, and was cold and ruthless. His nickname was the Handsome Yama.

He once slaughtered all several hundred people of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor in a single night, sparing not even a three-year-old child.

When a princess tried to win his favor, the young man replied, "I already have someone I like. She's ten thousand times prettier than you."

Hearing about it, Yun Qingqing clicked her tongue. "Who's bold enough to become the Handsome Yama's sweetheart?"

Ling Wuyi froze, the beauty in his arms: ...

Qingqing is timid. I'd better not tell her yet.

Ongoing novel: The Marquis's Wife Remarries a Hunter

On her way home from visiting relatives, the Marchioness of Taian was caught in a landslide, and her carriage plunged into a river gorge.

Gu Xueqing injured her leg and head, and was rescued by a fearsome-looking hunter.

She was lucky to be alive.

She was unlucky to have lost some of her memories.

The crippled Gu Xueqing vaguely remembered that she came from a noble family and was a cherished young lady.

She ordered the hunter around.

"Take good care of me, and once my memory returns, my family will reward you handsomely."

"Go catch me a rabbit. I'll reward you with a hundred taels someday."

"I want wild peaches. I'll give you two hundred taels someday."

"Sing me a song, and I'll give you three hundred taels someday!"

No matter how Gu Xueqing tried to bully or bribe him, the hunter never gave her a kind look.

He rescued her, cared for her, and treated her, yet always kept a cold face. "Once you're better, get lost."

This damn bad-tempered woman is so hard to deal with.

She was furious. She was such a gorgeous beauty, and this bear of a hunter wasn't even moved?

Later, Gu Xueqing recovered and regained her memory. The hunter escorted her home.

The day she returned was the day the Marquis of Taian was marrying his new wife.

Only then did she learn that everyone had thought she was dead, and her husband had wasted no time in marrying another woman.

She was alive, but her husband's family claimed she was an impostor, while her own family said she had lost her virtue and deserved to die.

Gu Xueqing could no longer hold her head high. She wept like a pear blossom in the rain.

At last, the hunter's cold expression softened. "Don't cry. Marry me."

Later, Gu Xueqing learned that the hunter was the retired "Idle Prince."
