She Made the Heir Fall for Her, Then Her Disguise Was Exposed

[Come check out my upcoming novel, My Former Client Comes Knocking!]

Blurb:

The noble heir Jin Yan was cold and ruthless. For the sake of power and status, he could betray the whole world.

General Ning Tan was shot by an assassin planted by Jin Yan and was presumed dead on the battlefield at the border.

With military power slipping away, the empire teetered on the brink of collapse.

Ning Tan survived by a stroke of luck, assumed the name Li Qi, and went undercover beside a treacherous minister.

Lately, Jin Yan had begun to suspect that there was a reason he had been hard-hearted and uninterested in women for the past twenty years: perhaps he was attracted to men?

Every day, he teetered on the edge of falling for men, until he was completely smitten. Then he unexpectedly discovered that she was a woman.

The noble heir Jin, whose feelings had been toyed with: "???!!!"

Jin Yan narrowed his phoenix eyes. "You think you can run without explaining yourself?"

The person caught by the back of their collar gave an awkward laugh. "It... it was all a misunderstanding."

A subordinate reported, "My lord, Ning Lin is still alive."

Jin Yan closed his eyes in his grand armchair. His voice was cold as frost. "Kill her."

Charged with treason, she suffered every torment imaginable in prison.

One autumn day, the cart carrying the condemned passed before Jin Yan.

He raised his eyes calmly. The smile had barely begun to form at the corners of his mouth when it froze on his face.

When he learned that the young general he had gone to such lengths to eliminate was the woman he loved most, his heart was torn apart, and he was overcome with fear and anguish.

Later, whenever he looked at Ning Lin's courteous face, he felt a chilling distance beneath her polite exterior.

"The noble heir has feelings for me?" Ning Lin parted her lips. Her words were a peerless blade, capable of piercing Jin Yan's iron heart. "I'm afraid you're in love with my corpse."

Those words crushed every bit of Jin Yan's pride. His voice trembled as he clutched her hand. "A Lin, I deserve to die. I'm a worthless bastard. Please... don't go."

Ning Lin sneered and flung his hand away, turning to leave without hesitation.

No trial by fire could atone for his sins. Even as the woman trampled his sincerity and dignity beneath her feet, Jin Yan could no longer bring himself to look away from her.

P.S.

1. The setting is very loose, and most of it exists to serve the romance. Lovely readers, don't take it too seriously.

2. The early story takes place at the border, and the middle and later parts in the capital. The logic is weak, so just enjoy the fun.

3. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending, woman disguised as a man, secret identity story.

4. The heroine isn't particularly powerful.

Next book, My Former Client Comes Knocking:

The heroine's version:

Wen Yao works in the cultivation world. Her day job is to be a "book-transmigration tool," helping protagonists whose fortunes have been stolen regain their glory.

She was doing just fine in I Rule the Rise and Fall, until one day, strange things started happening.

The male lead's life was in danger, so she went to Mount Wuwang to fetch medicine, but an unknown force tried to stop her along the way.

The male lead needed a suitable weapon, so she went to the South Star Sea to gather materials, but an unknown force tried to stop her along the way.

The male lead needed to build his own faction, so she went to recruit talented people, but an unknown force tried to stop her along the way...

Wen Yao: ? The book never mentioned this group of villains!

The male lead came face-to-face with the villains and was no match for them, even fighting for his life. Wen Yao risked her own life to jump in front of him and take a sword strike.

But the villain wielding the sword suddenly pulled it back, heedless of the backlash. His eyes blazed with fury as he cried, "You care about him so much that you'd put yourself in danger just to protect him?"

Wen Yao: ?

Why was Jiang Chenliu, the male lead from her previous assignment, The Path to Immortality, here?

The male lead's version:

Jiang Chenliu has a secret: a fragment of a soul lives by his side, and only he can see her.

Born with a fate steeped in bloodshed, orphaned and relentlessly bullied in his sect, he was later hunted by thousands for his undying bloodline.

Only that wisp of a soul was always quietly kind to him, doing so much for his sake.

She channeled her energy to heal his wounds, helped him fend off countless enemies, and even nearly scattered her own soul for him...

Back then, he was too weak to dare disturb her, and unworthy of her besides. So he kept his feelings to himself and focused on growing stronger.

His only wish was to cultivate diligently and, one day, help her form a physical body so she could return to the mortal world.

Who could have guessed that when he finally attained the Great Dao, the moon in his heart would suddenly vanish, her soul scattered beyond recovery?

Overnight, Jiang Chenliu fell from immortality and went mad.

To bring her back to life, he imprisoned the Heavenly Dao and reversed the origin of the universe, committing an unforgivable crime against the world.

With one palm strike, he shattered the Heaven-Peering Stone, throwing time and space into chaos and merging three thousand cultivation realms.

At last, after exhausting every means, he saw her again.

But there she was, treating another man with the same attentive kindness and deep affection she had once shown him.

The Bladeless Sword in his hand hummed and rang in protest. He almost crushed it to dust.
