The Substitute Palace Maid Ran Away

Blurb begins

Yuchan is a diligent palace maid. Her greatest wish in life is to save up some money, leave the palace at twenty-five, and live out the rest of her life in peace.

Unfortunately, things don't go as she wishes.

One day, as Yuchan diligently swept fallen leaves in the imperial garden, someone came stumbling over and ripped her clothes off.

After that day, she became the emperor's woman, but without a title or status. She drew the allotment of a senior palace maid in the Qianqing Palace, while also doing the work of a consort.

Yuchan later learned that whenever the emperor summoned her, it was because he was thinking of the person he loved but could never have.

Yuchan thought it over. This wasn't a good deal. She had to get out, and fast.

At last, she found an opportunity to fake her death and escape the palace.

But Yuchan had no idea just how hysterical and crazed the normally cold-hearted emperor became when he heard of her death.

Qin Ge: Later, I found out she wasn't dead, and she was going around telling people she was a widow. Did she get something mixed up?

Reader's guide:

1. An alternate history blending several dynasties.

2. Over-the-top angst, melodrama, and a groveling redemption arc.

3. Blurb revised on October 3, 2022.

Coming Soon: The Forbidden Junior Sister

Ten thousand years ago, Wei Lingqi was the beloved junior sister of Tianyan Sect. Everyone adored and protected her, even the spirit beasts guarding the mountain. If she wanted the stars in the sky, someone would fetch them for her.

Until that day.

The fellow disciples who had loved and protected her controlled a formation that bound body and soul, trapping her at its center and accusing her of colluding with the demon clan.

Her most beloved master, clad in white and as noble as the moon, cut out her heart, reduced her body to dust, and sealed her soul in the Nine Netherworlds, where it was burned by karmic flames day after day.

Only then did she realize she had never truly understood the human heart.

Ten thousand years later, Wei Lingqi finally found a chance to escape.

The world had changed beyond recognition over those ten thousand years.

But her enemies were still here.

Would they be delighted to see her again?

#They all call me a monster, but I might really not be human#

Reader's guide:

1. Quick transmigration style, no System.

2. The heroine is an obsessive, scheming, performative green tea. Enter at your own risk if that's not your thing.

3. To be decided.

Coming Soon: After Failing to Redeem the Villain

As the first senior disciple of Piaomiao Sect, Shi Mingzhu rescued a poor, miserable boy while traveling to gain experience.

Feeling sorry for him, she went to great lengths to shelter him under her wing and gave him everything she could.

Until one day, the pitiful boy Shi Mingzhu knew suddenly turned evil. He drove a sword through her heart, carved out her bones, and even destroyed her soul.

After she died, Shi Mingzhu discovered that she was a character in a book, and the pitiful boy she'd tried to save was the story's world-destroying villain boss.

By a twist of fate, she returned to the beginning of the story.

After being reborn, the first thing Shi Mingzhu had to do was snuff out the world-destroying villain before he could grow up.

Yet within a room draped in red wedding curtains, a handsome stranger leaned over her and placed a reverent kiss on her lips.

Wait, something's wrong here! Wasn't she supposed to be holding a revenge plot and slaughtering her way through the world?

Reader's guide:

1. The blurb is provisional and may or may not be changed.

2. To be decided.

Coming Soon: The Princess Forced Out of Her Political Marriage

Jiang Yin is an unloved princess of Li, a complete nobody. The only time anyone remembered her was when Li lost a war and had to send a princess away for a political marriage.

She accepted her fate calmly, unaware of the anguish someone buried deep inside on the day she left for the marriage.

Everyone said the princess Li sent away was an unwanted pawn.

Jiang Yin thought they were right.

But later, Li's army breached the capital of Chen. As the nobles of Chen watched in fear, Li's undefeated great general knelt before her.

"I have come to escort the princess home."

At first, people thought that Jiang Yin, an unwanted pawn, would be sent to her death when Chen fell. They never imagined someone would treasure her and promise her a wedding procession stretching ten miles.

#Turns out that person is my fiance#

#After all that going around in circles, it's still the two of us making do together#

Reader's guide:

1. The heroine is not a virgin, while the hero is. Those bothered by this should take care.

2. This is the first version of the blurb. It may or may not be changed later.
