My other book, My Nemesis Would Never Fall in Love!, is now available. Coming soon: I Slept with the Regent and Ran Away, and Hidden Affection in the Eastern Palace.
Blurb:
1:
While traveling through Jiangnan, Su Xi sweet-talked and tricked a handsome young man into becoming her secret lover.
The young man acted strangely toward her. When they held hands, he would only hold her sleeve. When they shared a bed, they had to sleep under separate blankets. Even when they kissed, he insisted she eat an osmanthus-flavored candy first.
Su Xi thought he had no feelings for her.
That was fine. They were just pretending for their families, who were pressuring them to marry. No sincere feelings involved, just a sinful exchange of money. Perfect.
Later, when Su Xi had no choice but to leave Jiangnan, she went without a care.
After all, she'd left him some silver and a note: "I'll come find you once I've got everything sorted out!"
2:
Three years later, Su Xi, disguised as a man, becomes the top scorer in the imperial examinations. At a palace banquet, she keeps feeling that the person seated on the dragon throne is watching her, his gaze probing and sinister.
They say the emperor is handsome, like a bright new moon, but Su Xi wouldn't dare look at him!
When she raises her wine cup to offer a toast, the emperor glances at her men's clothes and smiles meaningfully. "You've been searching for me for three years, Xi Xi. You must have had a hard time!"
Su Xi hurriedly looks up. Wait, isn't this the young man who was once her "secret lover"?!
3:
At first, Lu Jiang stood by the river day after day, waiting for her to return. Only when the cold wind chapped his fair skin did he finally realize he'd been deceived.
He crumples the note in his hand, his gaze icy: Su Xi, how dare you seduce me and then abandon me?!
Reader's Guide:
1: The top-scorer storyline comes later. The earlier chapters focus on the male and female leads' story in Jiangnan.
2: Lighthearted and colloquial. This story is just for fun, so don't overthink it.
****Coming Soon: Heaven-Sent Joy****
1:
Su Yan wakes up and stares dazedly at the handsome, fair-skinned man beside her pillow. She raises a hand and slaps him.
But he catches her wrist with ease.
The man lazily rolls over to face away from her. Without even lifting his eyelids, he shakes off her hand and disdainfully flicks his fingertips.
Golden light shines through the festive mosquito net, illuminating the red wedding quilt, the red mandarin-duck pillows... and the bright red wedding dress hanging on a rack nearby.
Su Yan: "Are you... my husband?"
The man suddenly sits up, narrows his long eyes, looks her face over, then breaks into a smile.
"Good eye, my lady."
2:
Su Yan is the daughter of the Grand Tutor. Fair-skinned, beautiful, and exceptionally talented, she is the aloof, privileged beauty every man in the capital longs for but cannot have.
Yet one man dismisses her as someone who puts on airs and pretends to be refined.
Lu Xingzhi is the son of the Duke of Dingguo. A renowned young general, he has distinguished himself on the battlefield and is a master of martial arts.
Yet one woman despises him for having no literary talent and doing nothing but practice with weapons all day.
These sworn enemies happen to come from families that have been friends for generations, and their parents force them to marry.
On the eve of the wedding, they agree to a fake marriage. After the wedding, they'll "treat each other with respect," while each goes their own way.
Unexpectedly, Su Yan loses her memory the day after the wedding.
3:
Several months later, Su Yan regains her memory, her body covered in embarrassing red marks.
Thinking of how he'd deceived her all this time, and how he'd clung to her last night with wild, domineering passion... Hah. She calmly picks up a dagger.
Just then, Lu Xingzhi walks in from outside. The courtyard behind him is piled high with countless treasures of gold and silver.
"My lady, here are the Lu family's house deeds and land deeds, shops near the Imperial City, fertile fields in the countryside, a master's handwritten inscription from the Ancient Cicada Temple... Oh, and I've also secured you a title as a noble lady, second rank."
"If you think the rank is too low, I'll work harder and see if I can get you a better one."
Su Yan quickly hides the dagger behind her back.
She thinks it over. Perhaps she can... keep pretending a little longer.

Damn, I came here from Douyin, and I said this book is called Fake Lady Ran Away. Can piracy be punished? Search and find out
Hahahahahahaha
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!!
I don't understand, it's obviously very beautiful, why are there so few people collecting it, please give it a try
I wonder if it was Mi'er who stole the heroine's child later?
It's very interesting to read, and the content is not cluttered. I was fascinated by it. The author's writing is great.
It's great to be back in Jiangnan again. Will the next chapter be about Xixi's pregnancy?
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha I still like Xixi very much. She is so open-minded. Hahahaha. Lu Jiang: I am so sad. It is not a good thing for my wife to be too open-minded.
