A bewitching beauty x an abstinent, powerful minister

With an unloving father and a ruthless stepmother, Jiang Yao was determined to escape the fate of becoming a widower's second wife. She took the jade pendant her mother had given her on her deathbed and set off for the capital to find the fiance she had never met:

The sixth son of the Pei family of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

But she encountered villains along the way and was saved at the last moment.

Jiang Yao noticed the pattern on her rescuer's belt, then heard the people around him call him Sixth Master Pei.

She bit her lip. The pattern was the same as the one on her jade pendant, and his surname was Pei and he was the sixth son. Surely this was her future husband.

Sixth Master Pei was older and cold-tempered, certainly not Jiang Yao's ideal husband. But to avoid being bundled off by her heartless father and married to someone else as a second wife, Jiang Yao had no choice but to use every trick she could to flirt with him and secure a place for herself.

Only after all her efforts did Jiang Yao learn that she had mistaken him for someone else.

Pei Jue had made a name for himself at a young age, held great power, and kept his distance from women. While traveling through Jiangnan, he casually rescued a young lady who had been seized by bandits.

The young lady had almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, with cloudlike hair and a slender waist. Holding a jade pendant, she bashfully told him it was their betrothal token and that she was his fiancee.

Pei Jue: ?

He knew perfectly well that he had no such engagement, but for one reason or another, he didn't call her out. He let the young lady use all sorts of alluring tricks on him.

Pei Jue thought his heart was as hard as stone and that she could never sway him.

Later, as he looked at the bewitching, charming young lady, he had to recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times a day, telling himself to stay calm and keep control.

Later still, the truth came out. The young lady learned that she had mistaken him for someone else. The man she was meant to marry wasn't Pei Jue, but his nephew, Sixth Young Master.

When she learned the truth, the young lady decisively left him and went looking for a suitable husband elsewhere. Pei Jue was consumed with jealousy.

One late night, the usually proper and self-controlled Pei Jue bullied the young lady until her eyes brimmed with tears. Then he touched her flushed, feverish cheek and whispered close to her ear, "Yao Yao, have you forgotten how you used to seduce me? What game are you playing now? Trying to make me chase you by pretending to reject me?"

The young lady: ...

Upcoming Novel One: My Rival and I Swapped Bodies

Everyone in the circles of Bianjing's elite knew Shen Zhiyun, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion's beloved beauty, whose looks were as dazzling as snow in winter and whose fame filled the capital. Raised in luxury from childhood, she was proud and rarely let her emotions show.

The only person who could make her arch her brows in anger was Xie Heng, the heir to the Prince of Jin, whom she had disliked since childhood and who was known as Bianjing's number-one playboy.

Whenever the two met, they usually parted on bad terms. Yet one day, these bickering enemies unexpectedly "married happily ever after."

The gossip-loving people of Bianjing placed bets on when the couple would divorce.

If it hadn't been for the bizarre incident that made their souls swap bodies from time to time, who would willingly marry him or marry her?!

Upcoming Novel Two: The Crown Prince's Concubine

Blurb:

A beautiful, scheming black lotus x a cool, noble man who only pretends to be old-fashioned

The Xie family fell into disgrace for some reason, and sixteen-year-old Xie Wan was forced to leave home and live with distant relatives at the Marquis of Linzi's mansion.

Xie Wan was captivatingly beautiful, with a peerless bearing, a slender waist and alluring curves. A glance from her could captivate anyone.

Her beauty made all the young men in the marquis's household fall for her, and they all wanted to take her as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, one day an imperial decree arrived, ordering Xie Wan to enter the palace as a companion to the Eighth Princess.

A young lady living as a dependent in the marquis's household had been summoned to the palace to serve as a princess's companion, making everyone envious.

Xie Wan seized the opportunity, hoping to win the princess's favor and wait for the right moment to clear her family's name.

But after entering the palace, Xie Wan learned that she hadn't been summoned to serve as the princess's companion at all. The princess's birth mother, Consort Xu, had taken a fancy to her looks and wanted to send her to the emperor's bed, using her as a bargaining chip in the struggle for power.

For Xie Wan, winning the emperor's favor would make clearing her family's name an easy matter.

But the thought of the potbellied old emperor made her feel sick.

So, on a rainy night, she fought through her discomfort and fear and grabbed the robe of the cool, aloof Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan.

"Your Highness, please save me."

Rain poured down, mingling with the tears covering her face. A beauty in distress, utterly pitiful.

Xiao Jingyan looked down at the hand that had first grabbed his robe and then hooked around the jade belt at his waist. His heart stirred, and before anyone could catch up with her, he took her back to the Eastern Palace.

Xiao Jingyan, Crown Prince of Great Qi, was aloof and ruthless in his dealings, yet on that rainy night, he made an unprecedented good deed and reached out to Xie Wan, who had nowhere else to turn.

Xiao Jingyan had little interest in women. He had assumed that night would be nothing more than a brief dalliance, and that he could simply give her a comfortable place to live in the Eastern Palace.

Who knew the young woman would seem so enamored with him, clinging to him every day?

Day after day, Xiao Jingyan found himself growing addicted to her. From then on, she kept him company by day and shared his bed by night...

A lone girl was the sole favorite of the Eastern Palace. Envious people asked the Crown Prince's confidant to sound out his feelings: Did he intend to make this woman his principal consort?

Xiao Jingyan gave a careless, faintly mocking smile. "She's just here to keep me entertained. How could someone of her status become my principal consort?"

When those words reached Xie Wan, everyone thought she would be devastated and heartbroken.

But Xie Wan thought that, to her, Xiao Jingyan was merely a stepping-stone to clearing her family's name and restoring her status. What did it matter if there was no true affection?

He wanted her beauty, and she wanted his power. That was enough. What need was there for true love?
