Spoiled by His Favor

New novel: After I Married My Green-Tea Husband, He Went Dark

Before he turned eighteen, Helou Fucheng wanted nothing but to take good care of his Qiniang.

After he turned eighteen, Helou Fucheng wanted to marry her, which meant he had to become the head of the family.

At twenty, Qiniang sold herself to the Xu family, getting ten taels of silver to send Helou Fucheng out of the imperial capital.

She thought their master-servant bond had ended there. When they met again, Helou Fucheng was the ruler of this land.

The joy of getting her back after losing her made Helou Fucheng lose all restraint and reveal his true nature.

They'd barely had a few good days together when the greatest strategist under heaven appeared from who-knows-where.

He was dainty and effeminate, too weak to lift a hand or shoulder a load, and full of wicked schemes. He did everything he could to seduce Qiniang.

First, Helou Fucheng rejected the emperor's arranged marriage. Then Qiniang left without a trace, taking the child in her belly with her. She even said she didn't want to cause him trouble.

All of a sudden, the child had two dubious fathers.

Cheng Hui, the Great Wei strategist, and Helou Fucheng, the prince with a different surname, became mortal enemies.

Qiniang had an utterly ordinary face and a lean, hard body. She couldn't figure out what Helou Fucheng and Cheng Hui saw in her.

Helou Fucheng couldn't answer either. His maid was perfectly ordinary, and her skills as a servant were nothing special, yet he was irresistibly drawn to her.

A completely fictional setting, roughly inspired by the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties. A plot-driven story written after the author's brain short-circuited. An old-school melodramatic romance with a forced-possession plot.

Sweet and guileless heroine x green-tea hero who observes the rules of chastity and gets jealous

Opening August 29: After I Married My Green-Tea Husband, He Went Dark: After being betrayed, she marries his elder cousin and becomes his sister-in-law.

After being reborn, Chu Yuzhao would rather marry the frail Fourth Prince than share a husband with her younger sister, Chu Yuyao.

Although the Fourth Prince, Xiao Yuming, was born to high station, he was sick all year round and didn't even have the strength to complete the wedding ceremony.

Everyone in the capital said Chu Yuzhao was ungrateful. She'd turned down the Fifth Prince, a candidate for the crown prince, only to rush into marriage with a sickly invalid.

Xiao Yuming assumed Chu Yuzhao was used to the life of a pampered young lady and wouldn't endure hardship for long. Before long, she would ask to leave him.

On their wedding day, Xiao Yuming had already prepared the divorce papers.

But Chu Yuzhao stayed by his side and made a wonderful life for them. At last, Xiao Yuming couldn't help asking, "Have you ever regretted marrying a good-for-nothing like me, Zhaozhao?"

Chu Yuzhao tasted his medicine for him and answered firmly, "If I were going to regret it, why marry you? Now that I have, there's no reason to regret it."

Xiao Yuming had once avoided all struggles and wanted only to spend his life in his Yun courtyard. Now he wanted nothing more than to spend his days with Chu Yuzhao.

But Xiao Yuming never expected someone to break into his territory again and again, hoping to steal his sun away from him.

One day, Xiao Jingheng still wouldn't give up. He clasped Chu Yuzhao's hand. "My elder brother won't live past thirty. Ah Zhao, you'd better think about your next move."

Chu Yuzhao pulled her hand free, turned, and threw herself into Xiao Yuming's arms, crying, "Your Highness, you have to live to be a hundred!"

Xiao Yuming drew her into his arms and comforted her. "Of course. The medicine in the Yun courtyard is too bitter. I need to protect my jar of candy."

On the day Xiao Jingheng was stripped of his title and demoted to commoner, Xiao Yuming cut out his tongue and said, "Fifth Brother, you always say such ill-omened things. I'll keep this tongue for you."
