Next up: Entering the Imperial Capital, a historical romance
That night, the moonlight was enchanting. She saw Qingxiao meditating in the woods and gently rested her head on his knee. His brows furrowed slightly, his eyelashes trembled, and his long, slender fingers rolled a string of glass prayer beads.
They were a gift from her.
Jiang Xun was seventeen. To strengthen diplomatic ties, an allied kingdom sent an embassy to ask for her hand, hoping to install her as crown princess. Unable to bear the thought of losing her, the emperor and empress came up with a plan to send her to Qinglong Temple to practice Buddhism without taking vows, keeping her out of harm's way.
On the day she entered the temple, the abbot asked her to choose a scholarly monk to teach her sutras and Buddhist rites. On a whim, she closed her eyes and picked Qingxiao.
He was an orphan, tonsured and initiated into the faith as a child. He practiced Buddhism and had mastered powerful martial arts. He roamed the world, fighting the strong and helping the weak.
In the eyes of the world, he was a golden Arhat, proud and aloof, with a transcendent spirit of Buddhism.
When her time at the temple was up, she secretly followed him out to practice asceticism. She slept in snow and frost, drank the wind and dew, and was happy to endure it all.
Along the way, they debated sutras by lamplight, meditated in the woods, treated epidemics, rid the land of tyrants, and gathered the bones of the dead...
His senses were pure, his worldly ties long severed.
Even he did not know when he had fallen for the princess.

Later, when they returned to their respective stations, he recited sutras and prayed to Buddha day and night, yet felt lonelier than ever.
Not long afterward, he was ordered to enter the palace to translate Buddhist scriptures.
At dusk, amid the rosy clouds,
a young woman swung beneath a wisteria trellis.
The air was fragrant on all sides, and flowers fell like rain. It all felt like a dream.
He rolled the string of glass prayer beads between his fingers. Little by little, his expression softened, and his eyes filled with affection. Just like that, he fell into the mortal world.
A seemingly innocent but calculating little temptress × an irritable Buddhist monk
Xun: to scheme, to consult, to trust.
Xiao: clouds.
Both virgins, happy ending.
Content warnings:
1. The female lead is childishly wicked. Early on, she will do anything to get what she wants, but she will become a better person after being influenced by the male lead.
2. The male lead has a bad temper and is extremely powerful. If pushed too far, he'll kill people.
3. He slowly breaks his vows and learns to accept his desires.
Upcoming contemporary police procedural, L or At Daybreak
Li Linlang, a 26-year-old technician newly hired by the Sucheng Public Security Bureau, is gorgeous, radiant, and full of risqué banter. She was recruited after breaking through the government's firewall.
On her first day, she recognizes her new boss as the man who once saved her life during a serial murder case.
Bai Shuhong, 34, is the head of the profiling team and widely regarded as a perfect all-rounder. Mature, steady, and always wearing a poker face, he nevertheless holds on to the purest and most generous innocence.
During a field team's meeting one day, he borrowed a team member's phone to call Linlang and put it on speaker. She launched into a long spiel:
“Li Linlang, aka L, from the Sucheng Public Security Bureau's Technical Department, at your service, my prince. Just give me your orders.”
Bai Shuhong, awkwardly:
“L, could you look into something for me...”
On the other end, Linlang panicked:
“Yes, sir, my little capt!”
After that, Linlang was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole whenever she saw Bai Shuhong.
He noticed and assumed it was a work problem. One morning, as he passed her desk, he encouraged her:
“You've been doing a good job lately. Keep it up.”
Linlang said nothing, but a flush of rosy color inexplicably spread across her face.
Later, Bai Shuhong kept thinking about that day, remembering her flushed cheeks. After examining himself and making comparisons time and again, he came to a conclusion: he had fallen in love.

Theme: Strive tirelessly
Because I like reading about the Republic of China, I was attracted by the title. I happen to like tarot cards very much, and I was attracted to it from the first chapter. I originally thought it would be a story about a wealthy lady from an old family growing up to be an independent woman in the new era, but when I saw the heroine encouraging the hero to run away, I felt that I was thinking too cliché. The heroine should be more powerful than I thought. I really like female protagonists with strong hearts, who are not dependent on the male protagonist and have their own ideas. Alai was very cute when he first arrived in Shanghai, and he looked very much like us who had just entered college and were financially independent. No matter how much money you have, it is never enough. I often suspect that I have lost money, only to find out that I have spent more than I have. Quite true. After renting a house and looking for a job, Alai became truly independent step by step. Some people say that you must first be financially independent before you can be mentally independent. In fact, sometimes, as long as the spirit is independent, the economy can always be independent. She is a good tutor, good at tarot reading, and a beautiful person. Xiao Yu, the roommate who lives with him, was right. Alai did deserve someone better. Xiao Yu is my favorite supporting character. He is real, cute, and worldly. If you are not used to living in poverty, there is nothing wrong with fighting for it on your own. In troubled times, the most important thing is to live, especially to live well. People who are rich are more yearning for a luxurious life. There is a goal but a bottom line. Besides Alai, Xiao Yu is my favorite female character. As for the male protagonist, I think he needs the support of the female protagonist. Only if she is a firm backing can he move forward actively and hard. How could the heroine not like his gentleness and considerateness? As the second male lead, Kong Kecheng is extremely qualified. He is handsome, rich, gentle and considerate, but also very purposeful. A typical rich kid, there is nothing I can't get if I want it. But for now, Alai is something he will never get. Although the other supporting characters are not much mentioned, they are each vivid, have their own characteristics, and are vivid. But what I like the most is the scene when Yokoyama Yuki sees the male protagonist. It is particularly similar to one of my favorite songs, Miriam Yeung's "Big City". His last photo in the world was so shocking that his face looked so much like mine. If possible, I hope you can write another article based on this in the future to satisfy my bad taste.
It's very beautiful. The emotional connection between Alai and Li Shaoyu is so enviable.
Ah ah ah, my wife is a treasure, I will read it first, I will post it first
The Kong family is not worthy of pity either. After all, they are not very anti-Japanese!
So complicated! But for Lu Guilin, I praise him for a good death!
I saw this in the nursery laboratory. The pre-harvest looks really interesting.
Bah, Kong Sunzi is not a single-minded person. He still knows why Xiaohan treats him better than the heroine. He is quite a scumbag.
Did my wife change the copywriting? I remember it was not this copywriting when I first collected it (maybe I remembered it wrong)
We still have to seize Kong Laosan's destiny! The hostess is great too!
It is updated at different times every day and is very well written.
