I Sense Demonic Qi Ahead

-- Blurb --

-- Also known as: I Have Every Reason to Suspect You've Been Secretly in Love with Me for Nine Lifetimes --

Xuan He has one goal: to kill the enemy who derailed his path to becoming a great demon eight times in a row!

Disguised as the enemy's long-lost senior brother, he plans to strike on a dark and windy night and finally get his revenge.

But to his horror, he discovers that his enemy isn't a sickly, bony weakling after all!

As he stares at his "former" enemy, who holds a broken sword and coolly presses it to his throat, Xuan He has a sudden inspiration. Clutching his chest, he falls to the ground and howls.

Ah! Junior brother! I sense demonic energy up ahead!

Xuan He, the demon yelling for someone to catch a demon, sneaks a look at his enemy, who's now become a "junior sister," and secretly swallows his drool.

Actually, if she were willing to marry him, he might not be quite so resentful. After all, fighting means affection, and scolding means love, right?

-- Blurb for the serialized novel "After My Early-Dying First Wife Was Reborn" --

Drunk beyond measure, Seventh Lady He falls into an old dream from her past life.

The blind village girl who made wine, the first wife abandoned in a little courtyard by her childhood sweetheart and husband, the lowly creature whose life was worth less than a blade of grass in the eyes of noblewomen, the woman who died in the wilderness in childbirth with twins: all of them were He Wenhua.

The name her father had carefully chosen, the "Wenhua" her husband had murmured again and again as they lay close together, and the piercing pain all came together. Waking from her great dream, Seventh Lady He wiped away her tears and laid a hand on her flat belly... From now on, she would simply be Seventh Lady He.

If she could brew the strongest liquor in the world, why should she get entangled with a man like that again when she had another chance at life?

As she set out to find her father and bring him home, Seventh Lady He once again met the person who had helped her so much in her previous life. Day by day, the two grew closer and more familiar.

She let go of that old dream, and her heart quietly began to belong to him. Drawn step by step to Fang Yanqing, she unwittingly discovered secrets that had been deliberately hidden.

When she confronted him, Fang Yanqing left behind the wooden hairpin her childhood sweetheart had carved for her with his own hands, then departed without a word.

They met again when a new governor arrived in this frontier city. The man shared a surname with her childhood sweetheart, Xu Yu.

Only then did Seventh Lady He realize that the "Fang Yanqing" she had trusted for two lifetimes had even been lying about his name.

Learning that her childhood sweetheart had long since died, Seventh Lady He chose to let go of the past and present herself as Xu Yu's widow. She would no longer try to get close to someone she shouldn't approach, and she wanted nothing to do with uncovering the heart-devouring truth hidden in that old, dreamlike affair.

But the bastard who had deceived her time and again caught her by the wrist and pinned her against the table.

As he had when they slept with their necks entwined in their previous life, he took her hand, dipped it in wine, and wrote four characters, stroke by stroke.

"Clouds and rain entwined, Wenhua. You should call me your husband, just as you did before."

-- Blurb for the upcoming novel "After Being Betrothed to My Archenemy" --

Huan Lingzi, daughter of the Grand Princess, was blessed with lovely brows and a graceful, refined nature. She was the most dazzling pearl in the Eastern Capital.

Yet of all the men who admired her, her gaze fell only on her sickly cousin, Prince Rui.

That is, until a palace banquet, where Prince Rui chose the Grand Tutor's youngest legitimate daughter as his princess consort. Only then did Huan Lingzi give up hope.

She shut herself away for some peace and quiet, lamenting that her plans to become a young widow had come to nothing.

Who could have guessed that less than half a month later, her archenemy Di Xi would ride all the way from the northern frontier, armored and mounted, and declare that he had come to marry Huan Lingzi, to whom he was betrothed?

When he produced the token of their betrothal, given to him by her father while drunk, Huan Lingzi gritted her teeth.

Before she could figure out how to send Di Xi packing, Prince Rui showed up again, claiming that she was the only one he had ever loved.

Her escape was blocked. Huan Lingzi glanced at Di Xi, deeply troubled.

"I like men who are graceful and refined, but you're a brute. I like men who are modest and kind, but you're devious and vindictive. I like men with faces as beautiful as jade, but you..."

Well, she couldn't find fault with Di Xi's looks...

But Huan Lingzi simply did not like Di Xi!

She had disliked him since childhood. Even when he gave her the pony she loved most, she still couldn't stand him!

Huan Lingzi was still fuming when Di Xi folded his arms and glanced at Prince Rui, who was pursuing them relentlessly, speaking with a teasing edge.

"Oh? You don't think I'm good enough and don't want to marry me. So are you going to marry him?"

She glanced behind her, cursed her rotten luck under her breath, then gave a distant, mocking bow toward the palace.

"I wish only to petition for permission to enter the Dao and become a Daoist nun, praying for our dynasty's prosperity and its blessings to endure!"
