[The blurb for my upcoming historical romance, A Scandalous National Preceptor, is after this novel's blurb. A cold, abstinent national preceptor x a sweet, adorable princess. Feel free to click through to my author page and add it to your collection if you like it!]
Blurb:
Song Qinghe is strikingly beautiful, the standout among the palace maids who entered the palace with her.
While some of the other maids rose to become court ladies and others were happily betrothed by their masters and sent out of the palace, Song Qinghe alone was assigned to serve the deposed crown prince in the Southern Palace.
The Southern Palace is desolate and remote. Only servants who have committed some offense are sent there, so the meaning behind Song Qinghe's assignment is clear.
Everyone is waiting to hear that the deposed crown prince has tormented Song Qinghe to death.
But palace servants passing by the Southern Palace see the sinister, suspicious prince holding Song Qinghe in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness.
Later, the deposed crown prince rebels with the help of his trusted followers, working from within and without. Just when everyone assumes Song Qinghe will be silenced because she witnessed him at his lowest, the new emperor issues an edict naming his empress. The woman chosen is none other than Song Qinghe.

Shen Ming was named crown prince at birth. He thought his life would be smooth sailing, but then Prince Yan usurped the throne and took the imperial seat. Shen Ming was confined to the Southern Palace for six whole years.
He had once been a graceful, refined gentleman, praised by everyone.
But six years of humiliation slowly twisted him. That refined gentleman was gone, leaving only a chilling, ruthless darkness in his eyes.
He hated Prince Yan, who had usurped the throne and killed his parents, leaving him in his current predicament.
He also hated the palace servants who came and went, every one of them tormenting him and eager to grind him into the dirt.
When Song Qinghe arrived, he thought she was just like the rest.
But after she looked after and protected him again and again, he finally let down his guard and trusted her completely. Only then did he realize that at some point, he had already fallen deeply for her.
-
On the night he reclaimed the throne, Shen Ming held Song Qinghe close and touched the red mark on the side of her neck, feeling her tremble.
"Are you leaving again?" Shen Ming asked with a dangerous smile.
"N-no. I'm staying." The tips of Song Qinghe's ears turned red as she glared at him without a hint of force.
Reader's Guide:
Both leads' first love.
The male lead is very proper and devoted.
Expect a gloomy, possessive deposed crown prince x a delicate, timid, silly beauty of a palace maid.

Upcoming historical romance, A Scandalous National Preceptor:
A stunning national preceptor with an icy temperament arrives at the palace. Aside from discussing the Dao with the emperor, he hardly ever leaves his room.
When the young princess Wen Shuning hears about him, she sneaks over for a peek.
Afterward, she can't eat or sleep. All she can think about is that breathtaking glimpse.
Fortunately, the princess is a woman of action.
After a few days of pining, she starts visiting the national preceptor again and again.
She brings him pastries.
She brings him hairpins.
She brings him sachets.
The princess brings him whatever comes to mind.
But every gift is returned to her exactly as it was.
The national preceptor says that those who cultivate the Dao do not concern themselves with love.
The princess leaves, disappointed, and gives up on him.
But after she is gone, the national preceptor finds that... the whole world feels empty.
-
Jiang Hengsheng has been exceptionally gifted since childhood. He has followed his master in cultivating the Dao for years, always holding fast to his convictions without wavering.
Who would have thought that after becoming national preceptor, a lively little beauty would appear by his side?
He can't ignore her.
Countless times, he recites spells to clear his mind, trying not to think of that sweet, carefree figure.
Yet he meets her in his dreams again and again.
At first, Jiang Hengsheng coldly turns her down.
Later, he begins to waver.
Then, in a dream, Jiang Hengsheng instinctively pulls her into his arms.
He understands then that he has probably fallen for her.
-
At the princess's residence.
Wen Shuning lazily leans against Jiang Hengsheng, runs a hand over her slightly rounded belly, and gives his hair a gentle tug. "Where are my pastries, hairpins, and sachets?"
Jiang Hengsheng kisses the top of her head and coaxes her, "I'll make them myself, double portions."

"Shen Yunxin" caught a big bug in the author~ Shen Ming
Song Qingyun, this is too difficult! Can this younger brother protect the heroine's sister?
The role of the heroine cannot be seen, she is a superficial woman, her character is not likable, the heroine's feelings for the hero are inexplicable, the ending is confusing, the writing is average, Gu Xizhou is just stupid, and he brings trouble to the heroine and her sister. The emperor is the most disgusting existence, a white-eyed wolf, and his ex is the worst person.
You old turtle grandson, hurry up and get offline!
Very sweet short video, the pure love warrior fell to the ground in response
Cannon fodder: We really don't deserve it
"Country" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ passed
Objectively speaking, the palace changes are too sloppy, and the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is also unclear. 2.5 Points.
Haha, there's no room to stuff it, so it's so big that it's so cute! It's a pretty good-looking work, sweet, but too short. I'm looking forward to new works!
Nice!! Complete!!
