My Picky Husband Wants to Repay the Favor

My next novel will be The Black Moonlight Was Broken by the Miaojiang Princess or The Witch Only Wants to Exorcise Demons. The blurbs are below. Please check them out in my author profile! Bao Chunying, the young lady of the Bao family, is a master of both medicine and cooking. To restore her family’s fortunes, she pretends to marry into the wealthy Shen family and prepares medicinal meals to nurse their youngest son back to health in exchange for money to tide them over. She thinks he’s wasting his good fortune. His family is so rich, yet he won’t eat delicacies, and he doesn’t even like rice. She thinks he’s crazy. His arms and legs work perfectly well, yet he insists that she feed him. He’s also incredibly fussy about food, demanding dishes that are both spicy and not spicy. Just as she’s racking her brains to keep up with him, this picky, sharp-tongued young master clumsily brings her flowers. “I thought using only marigolds for the garnish was too plain, so I picked all the flowers in the courtyard.” He even confesses shyly and haltingly, “You’ve moved... into my... heart...” Before their three-month agreement is up, Bao Chunying packs her bags, having fulfilled her mission and ready to leave. He corners her against the wall. In a fury, he tears up the divorce agreement, his gaze as if he might devour her. “Madam has done so much for me, and I have no way to repay you except to offer myself to you.” Bao Chunying trembles. “I... I don’t want to stay with the Shen family.” He smiles. “Then come with me to the capital. I’ll offer you the whole empire as your bride price. Are you satisfied?” Straightforward, sweet-natured foodie × arrogant, picky eater Reader’s Guide: ① A fake marriage becomes real, love after marriage, and nourishing cuisine. ② The male lead didn’t write the divorce agreement. ③ The setting is a fictional dynasty. Upcoming novel, The Witch Only Wants to Exorcise Demons: As a half-blood witch who brews potions, Tang Ruola has always gone alone to exorcise demons, make money, and search for clues about her missing parents. A mysterious carriage drawn by a black skeletal horse lurks among humans, watching them like prey. A sinister blood moon radiates evil energy, imprisoning lambs ready for slaughter. Sealed soul boxes have slipped into the human world, waiting for the moment they are opened to devour living souls. But... She sprays them in the face with potions. “Get back to hell!” The exorcists, robbed of their livelihood, grit their teeth. “She isn’t licensed to exorcise demons! Drive her out! Drive her out!” The head of the Exorcists’ Association says, “Shut up. She makes the potions you use for exorcisms.” Then, during an exorcism, she finds a dying vampire heart. Thinking she needs a servant to do the housework, she saves it. When the heart turns back into a handsome man with golden hair and blood-red eyes, she realizes how wonderful it’ll be to come home to a meal and not have to do the housework. The vampire duke, wearing an apron, fries her a steak and calls her to dinner, spatula in hand. At night, he warms milk for her and asks tenderly if she wants him to feed her. While mopping the floor, he unbuttons his collar for no reason and struts around in front of her. Before her morning alarm even rings, he crouches by her bedside and watches the sleeping beauty with eager eyes. “Ruola, get up. It’s time to exorcise demons...” Tang Ruola, who is devoted to her career, finally loses patience. She grabs him by the collar and asks, “You flirt with me all day long. What exactly are you after?” “I’m weak. I want someone to support me.” One day, the two of them are trapped inside a □□ by an evil spirit’s black coffin. Tang Ruola discovers that he has recovered, so she kicks him straight to the front line. “Hurry up and burn them and the boss, then come home for dinner.” Another day, he leaves a note saying goodbye. Furious, Tang Ruola storms the vampire lair. “You flirt with me and then run away? Get back here!” Standing before the throne, one foot on the prince’s corpse, he looks back with a smile and a flash of his fiery red eyes. “How about spicy crawfish tonight?” Theme: Good health is your greatest asset!
