Golden Boughs Above the Clouds

(“Dog” refers to his personality, not a scumbag.) Blurb: Tang Xian was crowned empress at fifteen. She was widowed as soon as she married, then deposed and locked away in a dark imperial mausoleum for five whole years. At long last, she escaped, only to fall into the hands of rebels. To conceal her identity, Tang Xian nervously played along with them. Who could have guessed that the rebel would be so audacious as to develop improper feelings for her? On a midsummer night, they gazed out from the tallest tower at flower-filled gardens and the lights of countless homes. The rebel put his arms around her and pointed toward the imperial palace. “Marry me. Wouldn’t you like to be empress?” Tang Xian: “...I-I have high standards. I’m not interested in becoming empress.” The rebel: “?” . Yun Ting captured a down-on-her-luck young lady who was mixed up with a traitor among his men. He had meant to scare her into revealing where the traitor was hiding, but never expected to fall for her himself. He started looking into the young lady’s background, hoping to marry her and take her home. She was innocent and easy to fool, but tight-lipped. She kept insisting she was already married and refused to say anything else. Yun Ting sneered. “From your reaction, I’d say you’ve never even touched a man’s hand!” Later, the young lady disappeared without a trace. He searched everywhere, but couldn’t find her. Then, unexpectedly, he returned to the palace and found the woman he had longed for in the imperial harem. She even called his name in her sleep. Surely he wasn’t imagining things? 1.

Half-conscious and half-asleep, he caught a thief stealing his clothes. The thief was a girl who claimed to be the tomb’s owner, an immortal zombie. Zombie: “I used to be called Princess Liuli, Meng Lishang, Bing Wuying, and Ling Fei Xiye. I’m a zombie with a story to tell... But now, you can call me darling!” Fu Qi decided she was probably an ancient, rebellious, emo zombie. . Qin Zhen was a zombie who had lived alone in a tomb for who knew how many years. When Old Fu Qi took her outside, she was thrilled, but also worried. “You’re taking a zombie into human society. Aren’t you worried I’ll cause a panic?” Old Fu Qi: “No.” “What if a Taoist priest tries to capture me? You’ll have to prove I’ve never eaten anyone.” Old Fu Qi: “You’re overthinking it.” “How am I overthinking it? Haven’t you seen the movies? Zombies and Taoist priests are mortal enemies!” Old Fu Qi repeated himself. “I said it won’t happen.” The tomb entrance burst open, and they saw daylight again. Qin Zhen opened her eyes nervously to find collapsed buildings and rubble everywhere. In the ruins, several “people” with faces as pale as hers, their bodies smeared with blood and grime, came roaring toward them. “Look, there are zombies like you everywhere.” Beside her, Old Fu Qi drew his long saber and split open a zombie’s skull with one stroke. Calmly, he said, “Darling, welcome to the zombie apocalypse.” Qin Zhen: “...” Unbelievable! 1. Zombie apocalypse setting, sweet romance. 2. Romance novel. Couple: Qin Zhen × Fu Qi.
