My new novel, "My Husband from the Underworld Has Arrived," is now underway. Its blurb is at the end. Come check it out!
"Saved by a Prince of the Former Dynasty (Reborn)"
Gu Xixi, an orphaned daughter of a disgraced official, was being escorted to the capital when she was rescued by Mo Qinghan, the silver-masked gentleman of the Ninefold Tower. To his surprise, she was not foolish or dim-witted, as the rumors about her memory-loss disorder claimed, but a cunning, ruthless, cool beauty.
When Gu Xixi comes to her senses, Yan Hongsu, the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Knowing, has been reborn. She learns that her sect was destroyed, and travels alone to the capital to uncover the truth and avenge her blood feud. But she becomes increasingly entangled with the mysterious silver-masked gentleman.
Mo Qinghan thought he had simply rescued Gu Xixi on a whim. Who knew their first meeting would actually be a reunion? His heart, stirred three years ago, is moved once more. The road ahead will be difficult, but he is determined to protect her.
But...
When they encounter bandits on the road to the capital, Mo Qinghan furrows his brow and prepares to step in, only to see her point the bandits toward a way out with the poise of a master.
When a cult makes trouble in Danyang, Mo Qinghan is surrounded by a chill and prepares to step in, only to see her shed pearly tears until the cult leader hands over money, then hurry to make her escape.
She stubbornly insists on clearing the Duke of Zhenguo's name in a treason case, and somehow manages to plan every step and win the case.
Mo Qinghan's gaze darkens. This young woman seems delicate, but is actually tough and stubborn. It's just that...
He wants to protect her, but she tells him she'd rather they not even be friends. What does she mean?
Why is she cold and indifferent to him, yet willing to risk her life for Xiao Lichen of the Imperial Guard?
Why is she so combative with him, yet so docile and obedient by the side of her royal uncle, Xiao Jinyan? What is she trying to do?
...Something feels wrong. Why am I even jealous of myself? This journey to win her back is harder than conquering the world.
This book is also known as "Young Master, When Will You Drop Your Mask?" "After Marrying the Emperor's Uncle, He Raised an Army in Rebellion" and "The Crazed Second Male Lead Mistook His True Love for a Substitute, Then Got His Comeuppance."
Notes:
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending. The male lead's journey to win her back is long and difficult. He has one secret identity after another as he pursues his ambitions. After his identities are exposed, the heroine personally presents him with a cup of poisoned wine...
2. The restrained, crazed second male lead harbors a secret love for a woman. When the heroine appears, he thinks she resembles his beloved, so he cruelly torments her even as he falls for her. Later, he learns that the woman who resembled his beloved was the beloved herself...
"My Husband from the Underworld Has Arrived"
When Yin Weiyang was sixteen, an underworld betrothal notice appeared, and her family married her off to the Ghost King, rumored to be cruel, bloodthirsty, and terrifying to behold.
It was a sacrifice from the start. Wearing a bright red wedding gown, she lay in a coffin, waiting for him to come and marry her... After a nightmarish evening, her red dress was stained with blood, but she had survived.
Seven years later, she caught that icy, strange fragrance again. Panic seized her. She knew her husband was coming.
He came, but he was nothing like she had imagined. Her husband... was exceptionally handsome. He addressed her courteously as his wife. He was a man of few words, and whenever he came, all he wanted was to cling to her... And when he fought, well, he was a little terrifying.
Life also grew stranger and stranger...
A vengeful spirit in an antique bronze mirror wanted to drain her yang energy. She cut her wrist and flicked out a few drops of blood, and several black holes appeared in the spirit's body. Uh, was she throwing acid at it?!
A red-clad ghost on campus wanted to rip out her soul. A burning sensation rose inside her, and the ghost was instantly sent flying, spitting blood. Uh, could she say she was innocent?!
Bei Ming Changyuan: My wife is the only one who may come near me. Anything else... can try its luck.
Little Theater:
Host: Ahem. First of all, congratulations on making it through the seven-year itch before your married life even began. For this reunion, what is your impression of each other?
Bei Ming Changyuan: My wife must have fallen for me at first sight. So when I boldly asked her to cuddle, she shyly agreed.
Yin Weiyang, choking back a mouthful of blood: Shy? I was trembling with fear. I thought if I said no, you'd kill me on the spot.
Bei Ming Changyuan: ...Then what were you really thinking?
Yin Weiyang: Go away, go away. Get off me.
Theme: Even when trapped in a desperate situation, stay true to your original aspirations. Follow your heart, and no distance is too far.
