Upcoming stories: The Runaway Bride, The Lotus of Buddha's Heart, I Can't Possibly Be His White Moonlight
Ruan Muqing is the most beautiful woman in Jincheng, with lovely hair and a gentle, refined temperament.
Recently, however, she made a bold decision: to marry the man she had saved.
He is elegant and handsome as a tree of orchids and jade, yet he will wash his hands and cook for her, and even risk climbing a cliff to pick the rare Crimson Heart Grass to treat her heart condition.
In a torrential downpour, he kneels for a long time outside the marquis's residence, begging to marry her. His eyes shine like the stars as he solemnly promises, "My dear, I will never let you down."
She believes him.
But who could have guessed that on their wedding day, an army would surround the marquis's residence? Her gentle, jade-like husband tears off his red wedding robe, revealing silver-scaled armor underneath. He presses his sword to her father's neck, his gaze cold as ice. "Marquis Changxin? Fourteen years have passed. Are you now Marquis Changxin of the Rongjing Dynasty, or Marquis Changxin of the Feng Dynasty? No, a traitor who breaks his word and betrays his master has no right to the name Changxin!"
It turns out he is Wei Qixiu, the crown prince of the previous dynasty.
Ruan Muqing stares at him in shock, wanting to ask if everything he said before was a lie.
Wei Qixiu looks down at her. "Of course it was a lie. You were nothing but a pawn."
Wei Qixiu was the crown prince of the Rongjing Dynasty. When his country fell, he clawed his way out of a pile of corpses and endured humiliation, surviving death again and again.
After an accident, he was ambushed and ended up in Jinyang City, where the daughter of Marquis Changxin saved him. The marquis governs Jinyang City and commands great power. He was also one of those who supported the current emperor's rebellion ten years ago.
Wei Qixiu concealed his identity and showered Ruan Muqing with care. At first, he only wanted to use her. Later, he decided he could spare her life. But when Ruan Muqing ran away, his gaze turned icy and the cup in his hand shattered.
Run? The whole world belongs to me. Where do you think you can go?

Upcoming story The Runaway Bride: On the day Yun Niang's father sells her to the Lin family, she dreams that she is only a character in a story. In six months, she will marry the eldest Lin son to bring him good fortune. He will die on their wedding night, and her mother-in-law will poison her, leaving her to die a horrible death.
When she wakes, Yun Niang is terrified. Remembering her dream's vision of her mother-in-law's vicious face and the way she is treated harshly every day, she fears she has no way out of this marriage.
As she frets, she spots her gentle, refined younger brother-in-law sitting upright at his desk.
He is the handsomest young man for miles around. According to the story, he'll pass the imperial examinations and become a favorite of the emperor.
Her mother-in-law values this son above all others. She says he could even marry a princess, and forbids other women, especially someone like Yun Niang, from getting close to him.
Yun Niang doesn't want to die. She quietly gets close to her brother-in-law, thinking that if she can marry him, she won't have to marry his brother to bring him good fortune.
She brings him hot soup when it's cold, a fan when it's hot, and carefully sewn new clothes, all while meeting his faint smile. In the end, she discovers his heart is made of jade: it may look warm, but it's hard as stone.
She saves up money, gets travel papers, and runs away. Everyone in the village thinks she is dead.
No one could imagine that thousands of miles away, in a house on the outskirts of the capital, red candles burn bright at night as the usually elegant, composed man entwines his fingers with hers, his gaze dark. "Yun Niang, where do you think you're running off to, hmm?"

How does this copy look like a cliché of "The male protagonist kills the female protagonist's whole family, but in the end he is still the one"!!
The male protagonist still has the nerve to blame the female protagonist. Isn't this all caused by his own incompetence?
I hope not to be found. This kind of man poisons himself to make it difficult for the heroine to get pregnant, and she can't be pregnant for a long time. She just screams when she sees aconite.
This male protagonist has not been liked by me so far. The harm he has done to the female protagonist can be wiped out with a little profit! I really can't like this kind of male protagonist
If the male protagonist doesn't have the ability, he shouldn't be the emperor. The female protagonist will have to bear all the hardships.
I was attracted by the cover. Looking at the thumbnail, I feel like Qin Shihuang, my charming ancestor.
The death of King Qin was so unworthy! I almost became the ancient Yuan Longping. You said that you are a scientific researcher, and you have nothing to do with being an infatuated male lead. Wouldn't it be better to study rice planting technology and leave a name in history to benefit all mankind?
Polite question, is this article HE? This copy doesn't seem very friendly to the HE Party
