New novel now available: Mirror of the Jade Terrace, Crown Prince's Tutor x Shadow Pavilion Assassin
The Great Liang dynasty fell, and in a single night the world turned upside down. The princess became a prisoner.
When Chu Mu escaped the palace, she never imagined she'd be caught by human traffickers and nearly sold as a slave on the grasslands.
During her escape, Chu Mu met a young man.
He held a long sword, its blade soaked in blood, with a mangled corpse lying at his feet.
The traffickers came rushing after her. Seeing the young man as her savior, Chu Mu ran up to him in a panic and blurted out, "Husband! You've finally come to save me, husband! I'm so scared, sob, husband!"
The young man: ???
Several corpses lay on the ground, and silence fell all around. A cold hand seized Chu Mu's chin. The young man looked down at her icily. Blood stained his jade-white face as he asked, "What did you call me?"
Chu Mu trembled all over, her eyes reddening. Scalding tears slid across the young man's palm as she stammered, "When I was eight, I had a dream... In it, I had a husband who looked exactly like you."
After Zhou Shi completed the last mission assigned by his sect, he had no more attachments and planned to end his own life. Just as he was about to do it, a young woman appeared from nowhere, clung to him, and called him "husband."
Seeing through her clumsy lie, he ignored her. Who could have guessed that she would latch onto him anyway, like a chattering little sand mouse, following him everywhere and constantly insisting she wanted to repay him?
When he tried to die, she stopped him with all her might. Then, foolishly, she took out a piece of jade and tried to hire him to escort her home.
After hearing where she wanted to go, Zhou Shi laughed on the spot. "Do you know how far Yinzhou is from the border?"
Chu Mu counted on her fingers. "Six thousand li."
The young man raised his brows with a smile, crossed his arms, and looked her up and down. Leaning against the window, he said meaningfully, "This jade won't cover the whole trip, Chu Mu. I never make a losing deal."
Later, he didn't just make that losing deal.
He really did lose out.
The little girl had delicate skin and looked as if a gust of wind could knock her over. She couldn't bear the cold or the scorching sun. She was as fragile and pitiful as a flower, yet somehow tougher than grass.
Just like sunlight: after staying out in it long enough, it grows warm.
And no one in this world can escape warmth.

Her Slave
Synopsis:
On the day Ming Fang turned eighteen,
her elder brother gave her an unusual gift: an unnamed young slave from the Western Regions.
Her brother said the slave was lowborn, coarse, and foolish, with only his good looks to recommend him. He had bought him for Ming Fang to play with, and told her she could beat or insult him as she pleased, with his life in her hands.
But Ming Fang gave him a name: Chao Ci.
She carefully wiped the ashes from his face and taught him to read and write. She also shared her girlish thoughts with him. At night, when all was quiet, they slept together on one bed. Ming Fang's hair became damp as they shared intimate moments in the thick darkness, secretly savoring their pleasure.
All of this was because, three years later,
she would be sent by imperial decree to the Eastern Palace to become the Crown Princess.
The Crown Prince, Li Danduan, was a dissolute womanizer who loved beautiful women above all else. To attach themselves to his power, the Ming family had specially requested an instructress from the palace to secretly teach Ming Fang the ways of the bedchamber.
Ming Fang had to learn these arts to please the Crown Prince, and she found them tiresome. The only one who stayed by her side was her little slave.
During those years at the residence,
the little slave was always by Ming Fang's side.
Chao Ci was originally the crown prince of the southern kingdom, named Yu Jing. He was ambushed while away from home, and deliberately let himself be trapped in Yangliu House as part of his plan. But a moment's miscalculation led to him being sent to the Grand Preceptor's residence, where he became the slave of Miss Ming.
He had planned to recover from his injuries and slip away quietly. The young lady of the Ming family was innocent, gentle, and easy to manipulate. Yu Jing thought he could use her to secretly learn the truth about the state of Jin. Little did he know that the sweet, obedient bunny before him was actually cold-hearted, with motives hidden beneath her gentle smile.
And he fell for her.
Yu Jing couldn't remember when he first started having feelings for her. Perhaps it was that day beneath the locust tree, when she came running toward him with a little piece of hibiscus cake in her hand. One glimpse of her dazzling smile was enough for him to remember it until the day he died. Or perhaps it was earlier, when she quietly crouched before him, unbothered by the dirt, and carefully wiped the ashes from his face. Ming Fang gently blew on the spot and asked if it hurt...
The day he learned she would be sent to the Eastern Palace by imperial decree to become the Crown Princess of Jin, he went mad with the desire to keep her locked by his side forever and ever...
If he could have her for all eternity,
he would be Ming Fang's slave forever.
1v1 romance, both leads' first relationship, happy ending. Entirely fictional setting, sweet romance.
Theme: Always keep hope.
