My upcoming novel, Wrongly Flirted With, is open for follows. The synopsis is below~ Synopsis: An imperial edict confiscating their property brought an end to the century-long glory of the Xiao family of Lingzhou, imperial merchants of old. Once the pinnacle of society, Xiao Junqian, head of the Xiao family, fell from his pedestal. When he was left completely alone, only his maid, Xie Linger, traveled a thousand miles to find him, using every charm and every tenderness she possessed to comfort him, soothe him, and help him climb out of the mud and find hope again. Until one day, Xie Linger accidentally discovered that her sentimental husband, who needed her to kiss, hug, and comfort him every day, was laughing and talking with someone in a hidden courtyard. “Dear Xiao, thanks to your wholehearted help, my grand performance has now ended perfectly. But do you still intend to keep playing the role of a fallen young master?” “Your Majesty, I’ve long since gotten into character, and I’m addicted to it. I’m perfectly content now, and have no intention of stepping out of the role.” Xie Linger: What? In character? That Xiao Junqian, he... he really lied to me! “Mother, why did Father lie to you? Shall we go ask him?” A childish voice sounded behind her. “Of course.” Xie Linger replied gently, then turned, took the chubby little child by the hand, and walked into the courtyard with a stern look on her lovely face... A guide for readers: A sweet romance. The aloof, unattainable man willingly comes down from his pedestal to win his wife back. ---Upcoming novel: Wrongly Flirted With. Please add it to your reading list!--- While recuperating in seclusion in Qiyun Mountain, Marquis of Wu'an Wang Xian was showered with affection by a young woman who lived next door. After he turned her down, she left without a word. After returning, Wang Xian was invited to attend the engagement banquet of his nephew Chen Xiu and Fourth Princess Li Yanyi. At the banquet, when he saw his nephew’s fiancée, a shy young woman as lovely as a hibiscus flower, he was first struck dumb, then felt as miserable as if a cat were scratching at his heart. This young woman had clung to him day after day in Qiyun Mountain, happily calling him “Sanlang” over and over. But now she pretended not to know him and called him “Third Uncle” with an air of distance. [Inner thoughts] Wang Xian, through gritted teeth: I went from Sanlang to Third Uncle. She’s promoted me to the older generation. Fine, fine, just fine... Li Yanyi, on the verge of tears: Oh no, a nephew takes after his uncle, and he’s the uncle next door. I flirted with the wrong man. What am I supposed to do? Chen Xiu, the prospective prince consort, has been troubled lately. He has no idea what he did wrong to make his usually kind third uncle suddenly find fault with everything he does, pick on him at every turn, and constantly give him a hard time. Li Yanyi knows why, but she doesn’t dare tell Chen Xiu, because every night, the refined and well-mannered Marquis of Wu'an, admired by all, climbs over the courtyard wall and breaks through her window to enter her bedroom. Before leaving at dawn, the Marquis of Wu'an gets dressed and leans close to her ear, his voice hoarse as he says, “Yanyi, I’ll come back after dark...” A sweet romance. The male lead looks gentle but is strong inside, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He uses cunning and force to claim her, followed by a long road to redemption. Theme: Be self-reliant and independent, and live toward the light
