Please add my upcoming novels Miss Jiang Doesn't Give Handouts and Taboo to your collections. The blurb for Taboo is at the bottom.
In her previous life, Qin Qiuyu took money from her husband's family to support her own. But after she divorced and was no longer useful, they kicked her out. She eventually died miserably on the streets.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back at age eighteen, at the moment her grandmother had beaten her for refusing to give her college admission to her cousin.
This time around, she absolutely would not be such a sucker again.
Her grandmother chased her with a cane, forcing her to give up her college place? She snatched the cane and chased her grandmother around instead.
Her powerful uncle used his influence to steal her college place? She turned around and reported him, sending him and his son off to prison.
Her biased parents refused to pay her tuition? She set up a little stall and made a success of it anyway.
As for her younger brother, a delinquent who died young in her previous life, he may have benefited from their family's preference for boys, but he was also the only one in that family who cared about her and stood up for her. He was still worth saving.
Apart from the difficult stretch right after she was reborn, everything went smoothly. But now she was looking at the man in front of her with a bit of a headache.
He kept arranging chance encounters, brought her flowers every few days, and gave her gold and silver jewelry that suited her tastes. Even the part-time tutoring job she found was tutoring him. She couldn't fend him off, and her feelings for him, which had stirred in her previous life, stirred again.
Oh, well. She had lived another life already. Surely she wouldn't repeat the same mistakes. This time, she would still marry him and love him well.
Ning Yuanshan thought his wife was perfect in every way. She was beautiful, highly educated, graceful in public and skilled at running a home. He was sure his ancestors had done something wonderful to help him find such a good wife. The only thing was that she seemed so delicate, with a frame nearly two sizes smaller than his.
So when he saw his wife beat up her brother, who was at least a head taller than her, his eyes widened in shock and he stumbled back two steps. Was this really his delicate wife?
Qin Qiuyu rubbed her fingers, a little sore from beating someone up. What do you think?
Ning Yuanshan: ...
Honey, I'm sorry! Don't hit me!
Qin Qiuyu smiled boldly, cupped his face in both hands, and leaned close to his ear. "If you behave and listen to me, why would I hit you? Darling~"
At that moment, Ning Yuanshan felt his heart might leap out of his chest. His wife was so beautiful. What did it matter if she was a little fierce?
Please add my upcoming novel Taboo to your collections. Blurb:
Nan Xi had known since childhood that she was a little girl her older brother, Gu Yun'an, had picked up. So when she grew up and realized she had fallen in love with this ever-gentle brother, she wasn't surprised.
For the sake of family harmony, she decided to hide her feelings. But her adoptive mother knew her daughter all too well. Faced with her mother practically begging on her knees, Nan Xi gave in and packed her bags that very night to study abroad.
Later, a deliberate car accident killed her parents on the spot. Gu Yun'an suffered multiple fractures and was left hovering between life and death. Nan Xi was urgently called home to pick up the pieces.
Once everything had settled, she looked at Gu Yun'an, who could only get around in a wheelchair. Her feelings stirred. She bent down, ignoring his struggles, brushed her warm lips over the corner of his mouth, and whispered in his ear, "Brother, I only have you now, and you can only have me."
Gu Yun'an was so shocked that he fell out of his wheelchair.
Gu Yun'an had been frail and sickly as a child. Before he was even one, he suffered several serious illnesses. If his family hadn't been wealthy, he would have died long ago. Later, on the advice of a sage, little Gu Yun'an was sent to a temple in the mountains and became a young monk.
When he was three, the little monk found a baby girl at the temple gate. He named her Nan Xi, giving her his mother's surname. She had her own household registration.
Every winter and summer vacation, Gu Yun'an would have a little shadow trailing behind him. But for some reason, that little shadow suddenly went abroad to study and didn't return for five years.
Then came the sudden car accident. Their parents died, and he was left half crippled. Nan Xi came back to take charge of the company, hold the family together, and find the person responsible for the accident.
He thought everything was moving in the right direction. He never expected Nan Xi to lock him up at home and take advantage of his inability to walk. At last, he also learned that Nan Xi had suddenly left because of this forbidden love.
"Brother, both your legs are broken. Why don't you just stay home and keep me company?"
"Brother, I just landed another big deal for the company. Will you give me a kiss as a reward? You won't? Then I'll kiss you instead."
"Brother, your legs are broken, so it'll be hard for you to find a wife. Why don't I be your wife instead?"
"Brother, you smell so good. I really want to bite you."
With Nan Xi calling him "Brother" again and again, he trained like a madman until he could finally stand up.
But Nan Xi left.
He should have been happy, but as he stared at the empty house, he kept hearing Nan Xi calling him "Brother" in his mind.
For some reason, he felt empty inside, too.
