[A deceptively innocent, green-tea-and-jealousy king]
[A straightforward, tough-as-nails female general]
Blurb:
Shi Jiu was a famous bandit chief during a time of chaos. By accident, she kidnapped the extraordinarily gifted and elegant crown prince of the Western Liang Kingdom.
People say that we desire what we lack. She was an uneducated, rough woman, and she admired someone like Xu Rongzhang above all. She followed him and served at his command, rising from a bandit chief in chaotic times to a celebrated general. She stayed by his side as he fought to unite the realm.
Everyone thought Shi Jiu was deeply in love with Xu Rongzhang, and that he would marry her as his crown princess. In the end, when the crown prince held his grand wedding, she was not his beautiful bride. She was only the night watchman at the Eastern Palace gates. From then on, Shi Jiu became the laughingstock of the entire court.
After the crown prince's wedding, Shi Jiu asked to be sent to guard the border. The emperor readily agreed and had her take his sickly son, Prince Hui, Xu Tingsi, along with her. From then on, her life gained a "bosom friend."
*
Prince Hui, Xu Tingsi, was as beautiful as a spring dawn, refined and otherworldly. He was frail, mild-tempered, and past twenty, yet no one had ever pursued him. Everyone lamented his misfortune, unaware that this hidden jewel had already given his heart to someone.
At long last, the moon over the border appeared again in all its glory. He pursued it, only to find that it was surrounded by "a crowd of stars." Something seemed a little off.
Across ten thousand miles of desert, Xu Tingsi, wrapped in a fox-fur cloak, glanced at the tall, handsome man beside him and asked, "General Shi, may I ask who this is?"
Shi Jiu happily hooked an arm over Qin Hao's shoulder. "He's my deputy general, and one of my good brothers from the stronghold. Let's all have a drink tonight!"
Xu Tingsi's gaze dimmed. He coughed twice, then replied, "All right."
The next day, Qin Hao waited until dawn. No one came to drink with him.
Under the deep night sky, Xu Tingsi lifted the tent flap and looked at the handsome man holding Shi Jiu by the wrist inside. "General Shi, may I ask who this is?"
Shi Jiu happily patted Pei Shu on the shoulder. "He's my army doctor, and the senior disciple of Yunxiu Valley. Let's go watch the tide tomorrow!"
Xu Tingsi tightened his fingers and tugged at the corner of his mouth, keeping his voice gentle. "All right."
The next day, Pei Shu waited until sunset before finding out that Shi Jiu had spent the day at Prince Hui's residence.
Then, one day, Xu Tingsi, covered in blood, cornered her in a secluded spot and said plaintively, "How many more good brothers do you have that I don't know about? Shi Jiu, when will this little corner of your heart belong to me alone?"
Only then did Shi Jiu understand: She saw him as a dear friend, but he only wanted to be her dearly loved one.
Note: 1. The official title is Border Moon Embraces Me. Other titles include How to Brew a Green-Tea Prince, A General's Rules for Spoiling Her Husband, The Scumbag Crown Prince's Guide to Being Reduced to Ashes, and The Wronged Brothers' Complaint Diary.
2. She loved him once, but the heroine can let go when she needs to. So the crown prince's downfall is thorough, leaving not even a trace of him. The scumbag crown prince's values do not represent the author's!
3. The male lead is only frail in body, not in any other way. He's deceptively innocent, calculating, green-tea-sweet and unhinged, with a serious case of lovesickness. He has all kinds of clever tricks for finding love.
4. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, and they dote on each other.

[A refined secretary with eight hundred schemes]
[A sweet noble girl with negative scheming skills]
Ruan Xinli always thought she was the happiest child in the world. Her family was powerful, wealthy, and harmonious, with a handsome father, a beautiful mother, and a talented older brother.
Then, on her tenth birthday, she received an exquisite gift: a glazed glass cup. But the cup turned out to be magical. At unpredictable times, it would spit out slips of paper predicting good and bad fortune, such as:
The day before her father was due to go out on a medical visit, the glass cup spat out a slip that read: "The seventh day of the second month: Great misfortune. Do not go out. Above all, do not practice medicine."
Ruan Xinli: ???
She'd heard of drawing lots to tell one's fortune, but since when did they give such specific instructions?
Skeptical but unsure, Ruan Xinli forced herself to spend most of the night breathing cold air. The next day, a high fever kept her father from leaving. That night, news arrived that the house he had been due to visit had caught fire by accident, killing the entire family.
Ruan Xinli, grimacing as she swallowed medicine from a spoon, glanced at the glass cup on the table and thought: This really is a treasure!
In the days that followed, the glass cup continued to drop slips predicting her daily fortunes. Ruan Xinli also gradually uncovered many secrets about her family...
*
One day, Gu Mingchi, the newly appointed Vice Minister of Justice, was strolling down the street when he spotted a little pink dumpling sneaking into the most famous treasure shop in the capital with a small parcel in her arms.
He turned to his attendant and asked, "Was that little dumpling who just slipped into the shop the daughter of the Great General Zhuyuan?"
The servant went to ask around and returned with a report. "It was Miss Ruan, but..."
Seeing the servant's odd expression, Gu Mingchi tapped his folding fan lightly. "But what? Has something happened to her?"
The servant scratched his head, perplexed. "Miss Ruan was holding the birthday gift you gave her and asking where to find immortals. She said that the glass cup is a divine artifact that can predict good and bad fortune!"
Gu Mingchi: "???"
How had the rare treasure he casually picked out from the Western Desert Kingdom become a divine artifact?
In the end, Gu Mingchi won the beauty's heart. "After you."
#What if my father is a spy from an enemy kingdom and my mother is a villain?#
#One Hundred and Eight Ways to Save the Family#
#How to Win Over the Neighbor Boy Eight Years Your Senior#
In short: Everyone in the family is a schemer, except me!
Author's note:
1. The story begins when the heroine is ten. The leads interact throughout, but their relationship is ordinary at first. Things only progress after the heroine turns fifteen and reaches adulthood.
2. The leads have an eight-year age gap. The male lead is an older man taking advantage of a younger woman. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first.
3. This is not a fantasy novel! There are no gods, demons, ghosts, or monsters! The strange occurrences with the glass cup are caused by people!
Thank you for adding this to your favorites!
Theme: Sincere love always receives an answer.
This kind of good article is so cold, it is much better than many articles on the gold list (can this be said?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha Xiao Si, I have already seen your tail raised to the sky.
It's nice to read, and the author is really good at writing about family relationships!!!! Super impressed me!!!! The male and female protagonists are also very cute, I love it!
Good guys are fighting hahahahahahahahahaha
Finally got a real kiss! [Applause?] It's a pity for the emperor. As a husband and father, he really hasn't done enough, but he is a good emperor for the people. Old emperor, hold on! At least I want to see my favorite son get married.
? I want to know the story after Xiao Baitu (I like the little white rabbit so much), as well as Zhang Heng and his beloved girl, why Mo Wange betrayed the school, and what happened after Qin Hao. I feel there are still a lot of regrets. This article is really very well-written, whether it is friendship or political situation [][][]
Wow wow wow it's so beautiful! I really like this kind of male protagonist!
Pei Shu should be jealous longer hahaha Ergouzi is really miserable hahaha
It's so funny, even before Ergouzi was born, his future had already been arranged.
Ergouzi: Who understands my family? I'm speechless.
