Taking the Young Master on the Run from Famine

My upcoming novel, "After Falling on Hard Times, the Concubine Stops Pretending," is open for preorders. Come check it out, cuties!

After transmigrating, Li Zhi thought she was just a hired hand who'd sold herself into service at a mansion. Who could have guessed that life would take such an unexpected turn? Before she could even find her footing, she was swept up in a mass exodus of refugees. Luckily, her little convenience store had come with her to this strange world and become her greatest support on the journey! Then she spotted a pitiful young man abandoned by his family in the courtyard and decided to bundle him up and take him along, so she would have some company on the road. Otherwise, with his delicate, soft body, narrow waist, long legs, and fair skin, surely someone would kidnap him. And so the two of them joined the refugees with a donkey cart...

Please add my new novel, "After Falling on Hard Times, the Concubine Stops Pretending," to your reading list!

Hua Yan is as beautiful as Xi Shi, with a willowy waist. The old Madam of the Xie family specifically bought her to be the concubine of the third young master, Xie. Unfortunately, the young master prefers plain fare, and this enchanting beauty simply isn't his type.

Hua Yan thought: What a wonderful deal! Every day, I get good food and nice clothes, plus a front-row seat to the drama between the third young master and his fiancée. This is the peak of life!

So Hua Yan secretly played matchmaker for her boss, keeping watch and running interference, determined to help the young master and Miss Jiang settle their marriage as soon as possible!

Just when everything seemed set, the Xie family suddenly fell into ruin. The marriage that had seemed certain now hung by a thread.

Miss Jiang was even more determined to end her relationship with him and entrusted the third young master Xie to Hua Yan's care.

Oh no. This guy might end up being my responsibility. I have to run...

From the hero's perspective: After the Xie family fell into ruin, he was heartbroken. He took the concubine in name only to their dilapidated old home. Looking at the beautiful young woman who had always seemed to cost a fortune, he was so worried his brows nearly tied themselves in knots. He wasn't sure he could afford to support her.

Who would have thought that this delicate concubine, who wouldn't even bother to pick up a fallen oil bottle, could fix the roof and build a stove? Even the legendary snail maiden would have to bow to her.

While the third young master Xie stared in astonishment, the beauty held out her slender jade-like hand and said matter-of-factly, "Pay me twenty copper coins a day. If you don't, you don't eat!"

★ A moral paragon of a hero. Once the shackles of his engagement were gone, he finally saw clearly.

★ A gorgeous heroine. Having enjoyed his food and taken his money, she can't simply walk away after taking in her fallen master. Her carefree life is over.
