Don't read it, seriously. Take my advice.

Coming next: My Days as a Foster Child Next Door is now underway. The blurb is at the very bottom. Little darlings, come add it to your collection!

Blurb for this novel:

Jiang Baihu, who seems like a ruthless, insane smiling tiger but is really insecure and afraid of being abandoned

×

Her seemingly charming and carefree, but actually gentle and devoted, newly appointed superior

A little heads-up: heavy on romance, light on plot

[1]

Jiang Du, originally named Jiang Duyue.

When she was eight, her family was destroyed. To clear her father's name, she disguised herself as a boy and became a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

In just six years, she went from an obscure junior guard to the smiling-tiger Jiang Baihu, whose name made people turn pale.

In the eyes of outsiders, she was bloodthirsty and ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals, an utterly unusual person. But she felt that it still wasn't enough.

She had yet to reach the highest position.

She had yet to overturn the wrongful case that had haunted her family for years.

[2]

But her newly arrived superior disrupted all her plans.

The young man in red she had met on their first encounter had starry eyes and a spring breeze of a smile. He looked every bit the carefree playboy, yet he took the career path that should have been hers.

She was filled with murderous intent and forced him beneath her feet. But when she saw him like a cat grabbed by the scruff, astonishment and helplessness in his eyes as he let her come close, she concealed her killing intent, wanting to see the little cat struggle like a cornered beast.

She didn't know that the young man had already grasped her soft spot. Like a giant snake that had long been lying in wait, he slowly coiled around her, then swallowed her whole.

[3]

Song Zhao, the second son of the Deputy Commander of the Northern Garrison Command.

Always a carefree playboy, he had thought there was nothing in the world that could make him stay, until he met Jiang Du, the person who would put her Embroidered Spring Saber to his throat whenever he came near.

As if he had discovered a whole new world, he pretended to be prey, waiting for the 'hunter' to take the bait, then turning around to bite back.

But he never imagined that, in the end, who was hunter and who was prey would no longer be his choice.

Coming next: My Days as a Foster Child Next Door

[Gentle, pitiful little lame boy receiver + cool guy attacker who loves roller skating]

Before he turned five, Yu Ying was a little lame boy doted on by everyone, an innocent and sweet toddler. After five, he became a pitiful little boy nobody wanted and was sent to live with the family next door, where he became childhood friends with a cool kid who loved nothing but roller skating.

Wei Yun, the cool kid, loved nothing but roller skating. Skating was his dream, skating was his life. Only he could wear his roller skates, and nobody else was allowed to touch them.

The cool kid also didn't like playing with the children in the neighborhood. He thought they were childish and annoying.

Then he met Yu Ying, the whiny little crybaby who spoke in a babyish voice and kept pestering him every chance he got.

Yu Ying would always stare at Wei Yun's roller skates. "It must be great to be able to skate."

At that, Wei Yun took off his skates without a word, knelt down, and put them on Yu Ying himself.

Yu Ying went looking for water in the middle of the night and fell flat on his bottom. Wiping away his tears, he said, "Someone always used to bring me water."

That night, Wei Yun moved his things into Yu Ying's room. "From now on, just push me whenever you need something."

Yu Ying hated the summer sun most of all, but his seat was right by the window. "Wei Yun, the sun is so bright."

Later, not a single book remained on Wei Yun's desk. He leaned against the windowsill instead, casting a shadow that became Yu Ying's perfect spot to escape the heat.

The little lame boy and the cool kid bickered, tangled up with each other, and drifted apart and made up again for thirteen years. At first, they were worlds apart. Later, they understood each other without a word.

Wei Yun was the wind that carried Yu Ying farther afield; Yu Ying was the needle that pointed Wei Yun in the right direction.

But everyone has to grow up, and growing up inevitably means parting ways.

Yu Ying was taken abroad by his aunt, but he desperately refused to leave.

Wei Yun stroked his head. The boy he had pushed along and raised with his own hands was now someone he had to set free with those same hands. "Go, Yu Ying. I'll come find you."

Years later, the little lame boy became an artist. Invited by the organizers of the World Roller Skating Championships to paint their track, he initially declined. But after seeing the list of competitors, he contacted the organizers himself. "I'll do it."

On the day of the competition, the little lame boy sat in the front row of the audience, gazing dreamily at the boy who had won an award on the rink.

The host handed him a trophy and a microphone. "Next, let's hear from Mr. Wei about how it feels to win."

On the giant screen, beads of sweat glistened at the boy's temples. His deep voice trembled slightly. "I know this might seem a little sudden, but there's something I still want to tell you. I wasn't lying. I came to find you."

I've loved you from the time I was five until I was twenty-five. For twenty whole years, that never changed for a single moment.
