Warm Curtains, Rainbow Silks

Blurb: [Stunning Dancer vs. God of War General]

After Xiliang's defeat, Shi Ni became a beautiful tribute, carefully selected by the King of Xiliang to be presented to the royal family of Daliang.

She was breathtakingly beautiful, irresistibly bewitching, and as soon as she arrived in the capital, the princes all vied for her. Yet the emperor bestowed her upon Huo Yan, the Great General Protecting the Nation, stationed far away on the northern frontier.

Everyone knew Huo Yan was obsessed with martial arts and had no interest in women. People couldn't help lamenting the beautiful woman's bad luck: she had been sent to that uncouth man who knew nothing of romance.

At first, Huo Yan paid her no attention.

He was practicing calligraphy in his study while Shi Ni attended to him. Glancing at her strikingly revealing foreign clothes, he said coldly, "Put on some proper clothes. What kind of look is that, showing so much skin?"

Shi Ni looked aggrieved. That was what she normally wore.

Later, in that same study, Huo Yan stopped practicing calligraphy and began painting. He laid Shi Ni down on the sandalwood table and dipped his brush in ink, painting on her ice-smooth skin.

It turned out he wanted her body to be his canvas.

* Sweet, devoted romance; both leads remain faithful

* Little political intrigue. At heart, this is a love story

* The heroine is delicate and frail, not strong, but she has the male lead completely under her spell

[Innocent Little Princess vs. Her Wicked "Slave"]

Ning Fu was a pampered princess of noble birth, with skin like ice and beauty that could topple kingdoms. She was adored by the emperor and empress, but having been sheltered too well, she was somewhat spoiled and weak-willed.

To help strengthen her character, a lady-in-waiting suggested that the princess personally tame a slave presented as tribute from a foreign land.

The little princess hesitated, but in the end, out of all the candidates, she chose the one with the fiercest gaze and the most handsome face.

During their first training session, the slave was disdainful and uncooperative. He even snapped her riding crop in half, as if he meant to bite through her neck.

The little princess was terrified. "I... I won't hit you, but will you please do as I say?"

The slave frowned and examined her, his tone mocking. "You can't fight. Did you come here to die?"

From that day on, the two began a training regimen that was far from harmonious.

Later, when the deadline set by the lady-in-waiting was almost up, the little princess grew distressed because she hadn't completed her task. She had no choice but to ask him to cooperate.

"Hey, could you... pretend I've tamed you tomorrow?"

The man deftly sat the little princess on his lap and inhaled the fragrance at her neck. "Let me bite you once, and tomorrow you can lash me with your whip. Fair?"

Ning Fu shook her head, tears in her eyes. He hadn't even whipped her yesterday, and he'd still bullied her and bitten her...

(In a nutshell: A sweet, delicate little princess sets out to tame a fierce slave, only to end up completely under his thumb. A sweet romance.)

* The male lead is no saint. He's scheming, wicked, and intensely possessive of the princess. He also has another identity.

* The princess is beautiful and delicate, with a soft personality and a gentle nature.

[Beautiful Official's Daughter vs. Dominating Martial Arts Sect Leader]

Blurb:

In her previous life, Zhou Wu tried to escape an arranged marriage. On the eve of the wedding, she accidentally injured her fiancé's eyes. Though she felt guilty, she still selfishly ran away.

But later, the Zhou family's fortunes in officialdom declined, and Zhou Wu was accidentally disfigured in a fire.

Without her peerless beauty and powerful family, she was cast aside like a worn-out shoe by the man who claimed to love her, left to fend for herself in a house in the countryside.

At her lowest point, she saw a man in a black robe, his eyes wrapped in a strip of silk, slowly approaching her.

He said, "A Wu, would you like to come with me?"

When her life was at its lowest, he gave her endless tenderness.

By a twist of fate, Zhou Wu opened her eyes again and found herself back a year earlier, on the rainy night when she had just injured him.

While everyone glared at her as a bringer of misfortune and gritted their teeth, vowing to avenge their master, Zhou Wu turned back from the road she had taken to escape, her face wet with tears. Ignoring everyone who tried to stop her, she rushed to the bedside and clung to him.

"I'm sorry. I truly didn't mean to hurt you. I'm not leaving. I won't leave..."

The man stiffened in her arms, unable to believe it. For a moment, he even forgot the pain in his eyes.

"You mean it?"

In front of all his subordinates, Zhou Wu leaned in, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him gently.

As everyone stared in shock, she ignored them and softly brushed his lips with hers, her voice achingly tender.

"From now on, A Wu will only love you."

The man's back went rigid, his fist clenched.

The sect leader, usually so proud and feared by all, was now letting a woman nestle in his arms and kiss him without restraint.

And his expression was... so lovestruck?

* The male lead will regain his sight. A sweet romance!

* By the end of their first life, they were already in love, but the heroine died young, so they had very little time together.

* In her second life, the heroine shows him her love without reservation. At first the male lead doesn't believe her, but he gradually falls under her spell and enjoys every minute of it.
