The author's collection: New novel Greed and Poison is now open. Its blurb is at the very bottom.
[This novel's blurb] Zhao Shu had been considered a jinx since childhood. Everyone around her knew it, and so did she.
For more than ten years, the people around her had kept a very "proper" distance from her, and she had strictly kept to her place, never daring to overstep by even half a step.
When they were young, Xie Jin met Zhao Shu because of their parents. Through a series of coincidences, he repeatedly got involved in her affairs.
He never expected that one intervention would turn into years of them being together.
A young man's heart stirred in an instant.
Xie Jin already had the perfect candidate for a wife in mind. He felt it was time to put his affairs in order and make a clean place for his future Madam Xie. Naturally, that included Zhao Shu, whom he had looked after since childhood.
One day.
Xie Jin gazed coolly at the young woman before him, her eyes red and full of tears. His impatience grew stronger by the moment.
He patiently tried to persuade her with kind words: "You and I aren't brother and sister by blood. Being this close would break the rules!"
Thinking of their past, he didn't put it too bluntly. But she had always been a clever girl, so surely she would understand what he meant.
Sure enough, though her eyes were red from crying, the young woman obediently nodded.
Not long afterward, unrest broke out at the border. He donned his armor and set off for the battlefield.
On a battlefield where every day could be his last, he had to steal time just to sleep. Yet the young woman who had wept so pitifully before him kept appearing in his dreams night after night, as if deliberately tormenting him, leaving him no peace!
At last, the fighting ended. Thinking that he would finally see the young woman from his dreams, he snapped his bowstring.
On his first day back in the capital, Xie Jin stood on the wall outside Zhao Shu's home, his heart full of joy...
The girl from his dreams, however, looked at him warily. "Who are you?"
Xie Jin: "..."
She didn't know him, did she!
They weren't close, were they!
Xie Jin gritted his teeth: It didn't matter. Once he married her, they'd naturally become close!
In the end, not only did they become close, they became one.
She was his addiction, one he would never be able to kick for the rest of his life!
A contest of loving and being loved
New novel Greed and Poison, blurb:
Duo Yu transformed overnight from a fish seller into the second legitimate daughter of the Zhou family...
She watched the woman who had taken her place as the Zhou family's legitimate eldest daughter become engaged to Xie Zuo, a scion of one of the most powerful families in the capital.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would have to call Xie Zuo "brother-in-law" whenever she saw him.
But these days, unexpected things happened everywhere.
Xie Zuo listened coldly to the moans, both sweet and pleasurable, coming from inside the tent.
After a long while,
Duo Yu came out of the tent. Her coarse, unpleasant voice sounded weak and languid.
She leaned close to Xie Zuo. "Are you here to retrieve something, Lord Xie? Duo Yu can help you."
A sweet fragrance filled his nostrils.
What is greed? Obsession, delusion, knowingly doing what cannot be done anyway...
Little scene:
Zhou Duo Yu knelt devoutly before the Buddha. Before her was a purse overflowing with golden gold, just offered to the Bodhisattva, dazzling enough to blind anyone.
She lowered her eyes and murmured toward the statue: "I beg you to trouble yourself and help this humble believer slaughter every evil spirit. Once the deed is done, I will have a new golden body made for you. Yes, solid gold."
After praying, she calmly and discreetly gathered up the gold she had just offered, then strode away without looking back.
What sort of sense is there in collecting payment before the job is done!
[Special note]: The term "evil spirits" in this novel is metaphorical. There are no fantasy elements in the story.
Theme: The law of conservation applies to all things, and life is no different.
I've always wanted to know why Zhao Shu's parents didn't like her, and where did the idea that she was an ominous person come from, but I never saw it??
After suffering so many injustices, do you not have a trace of rebelliousness?
????? Is there something wrong with the heroine?
This article has a strange outlook and strange logic. It's so ugly.
I felt heartbroken when I read this yesterday. I didn't think the author had done a bad job. I just felt that the male protagonist failed to handle the things around him due to his own selfishness, but he wanted the female protagonist to share this responsibility. I didn't understand it. I also read the follow-up. Humans are not perfect. It's beautiful, but the words and deeds of the male protagonist are really disappointing. I even felt that the words to Miss Wang at the end were abrupt. She also had selfish motives, but at the beginning it was the hope that the male protagonist gave her that made her think that the male protagonist liked her, even though she knew that the male protagonist cared about the female protagonist. Guilt can be compensated for in many ways, but it is not clearly stated. For example, it exists to abuse the heroine. When the heroine questions, the first thing that comes to mind is that the heroine also has a problem (Master Duan). If you really become an equal wife, how can you guarantee that guilt will not slowly turn into partiality. Love someone because he is a good person. I don't mean that the male protagonist has to be rigidly exclusive of other female characters. It is good to treat others with courtesy and to take responsibility, but if you lose your sense of proportion, such as sending Miss Wang home or returning the hairpin, these guards can definitely do it. , Did not explain to the heroine in time when others had misunderstandings, and did not clarify with Miss Wang in private (I understand that on the surface, I have to take care of the girl's emotions and reputation), waiting for the girl to find out, and then targeting the heroine, not handling the past is really uncomfortable. It is too greedy to want and want at the same time. I think what the female protagonist said when she questioned him was very good, but the male protagonist said that he wanted to explain to the female protagonist. I didn't see him give a clear response to his past and current relationship with Miss Wang, except for the words at the end that made me feel abrupt. I respect the author's creation. I felt a little uncomfortable watching it yesterday, so I really want to say it. I'm really sorry if it offended me.
"This family is talking" is a big bug for the author~ talk
Thanks for the exemption. It's so difficult for the heroine, but luckily the hero is with her, and the heroine is also very strong 💪
I feel like this father is better than mother
Hahaha, the prince is so innocent 🐶
Duan is really a hypocrite!
