Moonlight in Motion

She said she loved him, but did one bad thing after another. Whenever he caught her, she would put on a pitiful look and kneel on the bed with tears in her eyes. Her soft, jade-like skin glowed coolly in the candlelight as she let him punish her.

Then, where he couldn't see, she went right on making sachets to give to other people.

Meng Shaohuan's fiance eloped with the young marquis's fiancee.

To vent his fury, the young marquis brought his private troops to surround their family estate and forced the entire household to take their own lives.

On that very day, Meng Shaohuan was offered up and became a plaything in the young marquis's chambers.

With power turned upside down and her pride shattered, Meng Shaohuan sought revenge by luring the young marquis's closest friend into an abyss.

Coming soon: Bound Azure Luan

Bai Qingluan was poor. A widowed general with a child seized her and locked her inside his manor.

That day, after dealing with the husband to whom Bai Qingluan had pledged her love for three lifetimes, the general came to her room late at night. Beyond the bed curtains, his tall figure was cast upon the silver-threaded canopy. With the distinctive killing intent of a man, he declared, "Qingluan, you will be mine for the rest of your life."

Bai Qingluan sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, weeping in fear.

The general loved her deeply. Even when he went to war, he insisted on taking Bai Qingluan with him to the borderlands.

The borderlands were chaotic, and battles broke out one after another. Bai Qingluan began thinking of escape.

To get away, she tried repeatedly to win over Xie Qi, a deputy general under the general's command.

She had heard that this deputy general was the son of the general's late comrade-in-arms. The general had taken him under his wing and raised him like his own son.

He was younger, and had grown up on the frontier. He should be... easier to fool.

While the general was away on campaign and no one in the camp was there to torment her, she began drawing close to the young general. Pretending to be a tolerant elder, she sewed and tailored clothes for him, made pastries, treated his wounds and applied medicine. She said it was only right for an elder to look after the younger generation, and took care of him in every way. But all she really wanted was to trick the young general out of his token, escape this cage, and find her husband.

In the dim candlelight, her soft, pale earlobes glimmered with a gentle sheen. Her pink lips opened and closed as she stumbled through sweet words, clumsily praising how valiant he was.

The young general, leaning back in a grand chair, raised his eyes. His inscrutable gaze swept over her full lips, then slowly shifted away to fix on her shadow on the ground.
