Blurb:

A soft, delicate undercover agent who can't say no VS a domineering, scheming Imperial Guard

Zhong Li was the Jiang family's adopted daughter. The head of the Jiang family raised her in the lap of luxury. She was bright and lovely, with a face like a blooming hibiscus, and an added touch of innocent, unselfconscious charm.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The girl, who had grown accustomed to being controlled, was eventually fed an aphrodisiac by the family head, Jiang Xun, and sent to the bed of the Imperial Guard's Commander like an object.

Realizing what was happening, Zhong Li prepared to swallow her grievances and endure the humiliation.

Unexpectedly, her husband, who had come to her out of nowhere, treated her fairly well. Everything she ate, drank, and used was of the finest quality, and he even sought out all kinds of rare delicacies to bring before her.

Only at night was he like a tiger or leopard starved for dozens of days, fierce and terrifying.

Zhong Li feared him, respected him, and accepted him, yet learned that this "favor" could be taken away at any moment.

Just then, she encountered Jiang Xun again, and the way he looked at her had become somewhat deranged.

The Imperial Guard of the current dynasty acted discreetly, hidden from view, and few knew that its Commander, Luo Yicheng, had power and influence reaching everywhere. He stood The Outcast, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

On their wedding day, Luo Yicheng strode into the bridal chamber with unrestrained abandon. Believing that a performance had to be convincing from beginning to end, he consummated the marriage and pretended to dote on her in order to carry out a plan years in the making.

He had not expected the repeated "My Lord" from the bed to haunt his dreams and capture his heart.

The pretense became real. Not only could he no longer bear to see her suffer, he gradually became addicted to spoiling her...

Never mind. He might as well go along with the mistake. It was not necessarily a bad thing.

But the kitten who had ensnared his heart dared to become entangled with her fake older brother.

She even wanted to run away with him...

Tsk. Just watch as he pulls out the little wildcat's sharp claws and keeps her imprisoned at his side forever.

The bravest thing Zhong Li ever did in her life was travel alone to the frontier to retrieve the body of the man who had spent his whole life proud and arrogant.

1. An alternate-history setting modeled on the Ming dynasty, with many original liberties. Please don't nitpick the historical details.

3. The second male lead will suffer a humiliating downfall.

The Heiress and the Wolf Slave is now available next door:

The Ning family, the greatest salt merchants in Jiangnan, had a daughter named Ning Jin. From childhood, her father cherished and protected her, leaving her spoiled and affected, with no understanding of life's hardships.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. Ning Jin's father suddenly fell gravely ill and passed away, leaving behind only a written final wish: that Ning Jin take her betrothal agreement and travel to the capital.

The man who had agreed to marry her was Liu Wuxu, the current dynasty's prime minister.

She married him reluctantly, only to find that three months later, Liu Wuxu brought his childhood sweetheart, his cousin, into the family as well, giving her the title of equal wife.

Ning Jin was not having it. He was spending my money and still bullying me?

Just as she was preparing to send him a divorce agreement, she discovered that the dignified prime minister could barely read a few characters.

Hah! The man who had been sharing her bed all this time was not Liu Wuxu at all!

-

Liu Nu was an abandoned baby, raised by wild wolves in the mountains.

Because he had a face identical to Liu Wuxu's, he was taken back to the Liu family's cellar at the age of ten. He spent eight years locked up there and was given the name Liu Nu.

Through the vicious schemes of Old Madam Liu, he unexpectedly met the first person in his life who did not look at him with disdain: Ning Jin.

Though she often complained that he was crude, at least she was willing to talk to him.

At first, he thought of her as a playmate, and every day he looked forward to nightfall so he could see her.

As they spent more time together, his dependence on her turned into admiration, and eventually into a fierce, domineering desire to possess her. He wanted only to hold her close and protect her with all his might.

At last, one day he broke free from his cage and saw Ning Jin chatting happily with Liu Wuxu.

Liu Nu's eyes turned blood-red. He walked toward them step by step, easily knocking the elegantly dressed Liu Wuxu flying, and rasped:

"A wolf can have only one mate in its lifetime."

The Little Madam, coming soon:

[The ultimate push and pull between a flirtatious courtesan and a noble young general]

Hua Xin was born in the pleasure quarters and was the madam of Huayue House, the finest entertainment establishment in the capital, Chu Jing.

Every day, she did everything in her power to deal with the rich and powerful, all so that she and the women of Huayue House could survive in these difficult times.

But all the calm on the surface was shattered that night.

Bo Tinghan led a group of guards from the Capital Security Bureau into Huayue House to arrest a criminal, relentlessly cutting off their source of income.

Hearing that Bo Tinghan always kept himself in check and observed propriety, a true snow-covered peak, Hua Xin refused to believe it. She shamelessly resorted to her last measure: seduction.

She tried the zither, the pipa, the jade flute, and the ruan, one after another, but the man remained completely unmoved.

Hua Xin squeezed her eyes shut and threw caution to the wind, planting a hard kiss on his lips.

-

Bo Tinghan was cold-hearted and indifferent, and had never been interested in women.

After years of investigating criminals, what sort of character had he not seen?

So when that little fox approached him of her own accord, Bo Tinghan remained calm and unruffled, finding it ridiculous.

He had not expected the woman to be so audacious as to take liberties with him like a shameless rake.

Afterward, she teased him again and again, catching him off guard every time.

Until one day, one of her advances suddenly made his heart tingle, and from then on there was no stopping him.

Again and again, he saw the sly little woman sharing moonlit confidences and drinking freely with other men.

At first, Bo Tinghan was at ease.

Later, he sulked in silence.

Finally, he wanted to kill someone.

It turned out that her coquettish charm, tenderness, and sweet words were not his alone.

To be used and then discarded?

How could that be allowed?

That was absolutely unacceptable.

Theme: The river's birds look even whiter against the green; the mountains are verdant, and the flowers seem ready to burst into flame.
