The Princess Royal's Young General

[The blurb for my next book, A Ghost Wedding to a Beautiful Wife, is below]

Xu Ran takes her father's place in the army and rises from a foot soldier to a junior general. The Grand Princess takes notice of her, brings her into her service, and uses Xu Ran's feelings to keep her firmly under control.

The Grand Princess needs the support of the great noble families and a secure hold on military power to help her brother claim the throne. When the new emperor ascends, he arranges a marriage for the Grand Princess, and Xu Ran is thrown into prison. Only after Xu Ran is framed, her family destroyed, and she vanishes without a trace does the Grand Princess realize that she had fallen for Xu Ran while using her.

Burned beyond recognition, Xu Ran is rescued by a princess of the Southern Barbarians and sent to their lands to recover. But she still wants to return to the capital, not to see the princess, but to find out if her parents are safe. She will never again get involved in royal affairs. All she wants in this life is for her parents to be safe and well. In the end, she discovers that they died in the fire, and sets out on the road to revenge.

The Grand Princess refuses to believe Xu Ran is dead and frantically sends people to search for her. There is no news for three years, and just as she is about to give up, someone appears claiming to be a friend of Xu Ran's from the Southern Barbarians. She knows it's Xu Ran. If Xu Ran wants to put on an act, she'll play along, as long as Xu Ran is still by her side.

This time, she won't let anyone else hurt Xu Ran.

[The ending is happy]

New book: A Ghost Wedding to a Beautiful Wife

[Who knew that after dying, you could still be assigned a ghost marriage, and paired with a gorgeous wife with fair skin, a slim waist, and long legs?

I never found a partner when I was alive, but after I died, I got a wife handed to me.

A funny girl might not deserve love, but she can have a loving wife.

Meng Xun, dressed in a wedding gown, looks at her wife, who is wearing a red wedding dress just like hers. She wants to be dignified and hold back her laughter, but the corners of her mouth keep twitching.

This ghost wedding is great.

Wait... I don't think I'm dead... I have a ghost wife.

A ghost wife it is, then. It's not like she can't be touched. On the very first day, Meng Xun tells her ghost wife, Xie Jiayin, that she's going to be the 1.

Xie Jiayin nods, bewildered. She doesn't know what a 1 is, so she lets Meng Xun be one. Later, when she can't get out of bed, she finally learns what a 1 is.

Scene one: Meng Xun wants to scare the villagers, so her beautiful wife secretly scatters paper money for the dead.

Scene two: She has to burn incense before she can touch her wife, but lately her wife keeps getting nervous when she lights incense and tells her to exercise some restraint. She's not a saint. She's just an ordinary woman. How is she supposed to restrain herself around a beautiful wife?]

Theme: What you see is not necessarily the truth. You have to seek out the truth for yourself.
