Blurb:
Lu Yunzhi happened upon a frail, blind gentleman.
The gentleman, Pei Zhuoyu, was handsome and elegant, a man of exceptional beauty. Lu Yunzhi was quite taken with him and cared for him devotedly for a long time. But as soon as his sight returned, he left nothing but a note and disappeared. Lu Yunzhi was utterly dejected. She had almost managed to win him over. What a pity.
When they met again, Pei Zhuoyu had become a young and promising Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
In Lu Yunzhi's eyes, Pei Zhuoyu had always been a gentle, refined gentleman and a good man who liked helping others. Then, by chance, she saw his ruthless, merciless side: he killed people as casually as he chopped vegetables, without even blinking.
What kind of gentleman was that? He was a complete lunatic!
Lu Yunzhi tried to make a run for it, but Pei Zhuoyu caught her red-handed.
Their eyes met. With an overwhelming will to survive, Lu Yunzhi said, "To be honest, I came to confess my admiration for you."
As she spoke, she took out a crushed peach blossom.
Pei Zhuoyu smiled and accepted it. "Very well. I'll graciously accept your feelings."
"?!" Was he really accepting so easily?
To stay alive, Lu Yunzhi had to tell him every day that she loved him, even though she didn't mean it. She also had to bring him snacks and sachets, and keep showing off her "deadly talents" in hopes of making him give up.
She made the snacks herself, and they were the kind that could choke someone to death. But Pei Zhuoyu ate them without changing expression, said they were delicious, and asked her to make more another day. She embroidered the sachet herself, and it was an eyesore. Pei Zhuoyu shamelessly praised her handiwork, then wore the sachet every day without caring about the strange looks people gave him.
Lu Yunzhi had no other choice. Under cover of a dark, windy night, she packed her things and fled. Halfway up the wall, she saw Pei Zhuoyu waiting beneath it like a hunter lying in wait for his prey.
His smile was tender, but his eyes were fathomless. "Trying to run away from our wedding?"
"Of course not. I just came out to enjoy the moon," she said, nervously wiping away her sweat.
"Marry me, or I'll break your legs. Pick one."
Years later, Prime Minister Pei and his wife were devoted to each other and deeply in love, their story a celebrated tale throughout Chang'an. Someone asked Lu Yunzhi how she and Pei Zhuoyu first met.
Lu Yunzhi thought for a moment. "In a word, don't pick up men you find by the road."
Pei Zhuoyu gave a light cough, and Lu Yunzhi immediately added, "Except for my husband, of course."
One couple, exclusive romance, first love for both, happy ending. Seven-year age gap.
1. The male lead is possessive and ruthless, a gentle yandere who is kind only to the heroine.
2. The heroine is adorable, a homebody, and an easygoing slacker.
3. The dynasty is fictional. Please don't scrutinize the historical details.
The cover is by a lovely and kind artist from bs!

The Crown Prince Bends for Her
The Crown Prince had once been a radiant, upright young man, but a lingering injury from the battlefield changed his personality. He became gloomy and unpredictable. Everyone believed there was no future in serving the Crown Prince, and no one wanted to work in the Eastern Palace. Only Shen Yizhi volunteered to serve him.
Everyone laughed at Shen Yizhi for being foolish. She only smiled when she heard them.
They didn't know that five years ago, a handsome young man in blue robes had rescued her from a pile of corpses, dazzling her for the rest of her life. At the time, she had been covered in mud, while the young man was so graceful and striking that he seemed as pure and distant as the moon. For the first time, Shen Yizhi understood what it meant to be worlds apart.
Only later did Shen Yizhi learn that her rescuer was none other than the honorable Crown Prince, Zhao Yan.
*
Life in the Eastern Palace was difficult at first. No matter how devotedly Shen Yizhi served him, the Crown Prince remained cold and indifferent toward her.
A few palace attendants secretly mocked her for being obsequious and shameless. Even if the Crown Prince had fallen on hard times, he was still of royal blood. How could a country girl like her ever hope to win his favor? Who did she think she was?
Shen Yizhi happened to hear them. She lowered her eyes and pressed her lips together without a word.
Then, one day, the Crown Prince began treating her with increasing "tenderness."
After that, the people who had bullied her never appeared before her again.
Everything fell into place, and Shen Yizhi thought it was time for her to bow out.
But when she went to the Crown Prince with her bundle and asked to leave, he flatly refused. "You may not."
Shen Yizhi widened her almond-shaped eyes and stared at him in disbelief, her voice tinged with hurt. "Your Highness, you said you wouldn't keep me here."
Zhao Yan's long, cool fingers lifted her chin. "I'm right here. Where else do you think you can go?"
*
In his previous life, Zhao Yan went through endless twists and turns, rising and falling before finally climbing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood to ascend the throne. Everyone called him cold-blooded and merciless, and even he believed it.
His officials feared him, and his people dreaded him. At last, he became a truly lonely man.
Only Shen Yizhi stayed by his side, just as she always had.
Whenever he worked through the night reviewing memorials, she would gently remind him, "Your Majesty, it's time to retire for the night."
He had thought that, reborn, he would treat her well. He never expected her to want to leave him behind and live freely on her own.
He wouldn't allow it.

Coming soon: I Tossed Away the Romance-Obsessed Script
Zhao Su transmigrates into a xianxia novel as a lovesick supporting heroine who gives her whole heart to the male lead, a pretty but useless vase of a junior sister.
The junior sister comes from a prestigious family. She's beautiful, has a sweet voice, and has a fabulously wealthy city lord for a father. She's a rich second-generation cultivator who could coast through life, except she's a little too single-minded.
According to the plot, no matter how much the male lead uses her and brings ruin to her family, she'll remain hopelessly in love with him.
Zhao Su: Sorry, I'm not playing along!
She eats and drinks as she pleases, leveling up and fighting monsters every day to protect herself. Then she unexpectedly has a breakthrough and discovers that she's a cultivation prodigy.
Hmph! Let's see who dares call her a vase now!
One day, she rescues a blood-red spirit snake from an evil cultivator and kindly sets it free. But the ungrateful snake bites her before it leaves.
Zhao Su: Help! Could this snake be poisonous?!
Fortunately, nothing serious happens. She just finds a strange red totem on her shoulder.
Late at night, the clouds blot out the moon. From within the thick, impenetrable fog emerges a handsome man in a vermilion robe. He approaches her at an unhurried pace. "I am Teng Snake. To repay you for saving my life, I wish to take you as my wife."
How is that repaying her? Isn't he here for revenge?
"No way. We're different species, so we're reproductively incompatible." Zhao Su refuses him with righteous conviction, then pulls out a picture book filled with all kinds of spirit snakes. With a practiced air, she says, "Still, it's lucky you ran into me. I know plenty of pretty female snakes. I can introduce you to some."
Shi Qinyou: "..."
Later, she discovers that the man who said he wanted to marry her is actually the main villain of the book, Shi Qinyou, the Demon Lord feared throughout the cultivation world. He can shatter a mountain with a single palm strike, and he's destined to become the male lead's greatest enemy.
Zhao Su: QAQ
Is it too late to run now?
P.S. One couple, exclusive romance, happy ending.
Theme: To live well is to be happy
