After I Accidentally Picked Up an Enemy Prince

Rumor had it that the enemy kingdom's third prince, a brilliant man of both letters and arms, had fallen off a cliff and died. Afterward, Bai Wu found a qin player in the capital of the Great Liang dynasty.

Bai Wu gave him all the love in her heart.

She defied her father and disobeyed her mother for him, and was even driven out of the palace to fend for herself.

Even when it came to her beloved younger sister, she changed from her usual timid self and fought for him.

In the treacherous capital, she didn't care that her reputation was in tatters. She still wanted to spend her life with the qin player.

Then everything changed. Bai Wu spent time in prison, and when she came out, she saw the qin player standing face-to-face with her sister.

A perfect match, laughing and chatting happily.

The red-thread bracelet she had treasured so dearly had been casually given by the qin player to her sister.

Bai Wu finally decided there was no point in carrying on, and sent him out of her residence that very night.

Four days later, the kingdom fell. The imperial family had all fled, and only the eldest princess, Bai Wu, was captured.

She fell to her knees before the enemy army, trembling all over and utterly devoid of a princess's bearing.

Yet the third prince, who had rendered great service to the new dynasty, rode over and carefully lifted her into his arms.

In the prince's manor, amid red curtains, Huo Minchen held a broken qin against her feet.

"A-Wu, didn't you love hearing me play? How can you abandon me?"

Later, atop the city wall, she wore red, striking and radiant.

A princess of a fallen kingdom was supposed to die for her country.

She laughed without restraint as she watched him stumble toward her on his knees, utterly disheveled.

Then, the instant he grabbed her sleeve,

she plunged the jade hairpin he had given her into his chest.

Upcoming Book, Willow at Zhangtai, Blurb:

The man Yan Zhuoan loves died saving me.

And now he's going to marry me.

Everyone says Su Ying, daughter of the great general, is blessed beyond measure.

She was born into a noble family, is exceptionally beautiful, and gets to marry Prince Ning.

Even the one time she faced danger in her life, someone rushed to take a blade for her.

Su Ying had thought so too. Prince Ning was a kind man, and she was very happy with the marriage.

From then on, she took up needlework, learned to dance, and conscientiously prepared for her wedding, putting her heart in order.

Until, on her wedding day, the red dragon-and-phoenix candles burned brightly.

With a shy smile and a red veil over her head, Su Ying waited eagerly for her groom.

The door was kicked open.

But instead of her groom, she saw the drunken Crown Prince Yan Zhuoan, holding a memorial tablet and staring at her gloomily.

"You caused two people to be separated by life and death. Do you really deserve to live happily ever after with your husband, Miss Su?"

Pale with fright, Su Ying fled through the door, only to find a crowd of guests outside, there to offer their congratulations.

At the very front stood Prince Ning, trembling as he softly called, "Sister-in-law."

An arm suddenly wrapped around her waist. The memorial tablet dug painfully into her, and she heard a smiling voice by her ear.

"Come, let's thank my younger brother together for making this possible."

Upcoming Book, Late Spring, Blurb:

Prince Qing's Consort, Lu Xiurong, has a secret.

Contrary to the rumors, she doesn't dislike her husband at all. In fact, she's been in love with him since childhood.

But she has to keep her feelings hidden, remain proper, and treat him with polite distance.

Because Su Shihe has someone else in his heart.

Before they married, he told her to her face that if she wanted to marry him, she must not have feelings for him.

Lu Xiurong is very obedient.

Two months after their wedding, Su Shihe leaves to fight in a war.

Lu Xiurong stays at home, thinking that this is how life will go on.

But when the victorious army returns, Su Shihe brings back the woman he loves, who had married far away in Mobei.

No one touches the carefully prepared dishes. Lu Xiurong smiles faintly and eats every bite herself.

Then, on a beautiful clear day, she does as usual: fixes his hair, washes his clothes, and cooks for him.

After watching him leave, she writes a letter of divorce herself.

Taking only a few simple belongings, she leaves without looking back.

His beloved has returned, so she should give back her place as his consort.

She's always been very obedient.

In a desolate village in the northwest, she changes her name to Lurong and opens a small tavern.

Business is just enough to get by. Her days are hectic, but fulfilling.

The scholar next door is a good man. After he proposes three times, she finally relents.

They set their wedding for the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

But the day before the wedding, her fiance suddenly disappears. As she frets over what happened, Su Shihe appears out of nowhere.

The eyes that had always regarded her with cool indifference now hold a complicated smile.

The moment he sees her, he pulls her into his arms, then leans to her ear and speaks softly.

"Who else would the Princess Consort marry besides me?"
