Pillow of Beauty

My upcoming novel, The Jade in His Palm, is now open for follows. A 1v2 brothers' love triangle showdown. Please add it to your favorites!

When Jiang Caiying was born, auspicious clouds filled the sky over the Great Yun Dynasty. But on her wedding night, her husband led thirty thousand iron cavalry from the northwest to smash through the palace gates, staining its walls and jade steps with blood.

She was strangled to death with a white silk cord, her end gruesome and brutal.

Reborn, she did everything she could to stop the marriage and destroy the rebel. So she sought out Wei Heng, the regent who held all power at court and ruled with an iron fist.

The man she called a treacherous official had once, in his youth, nervously held up her skirts and sheltered her with an umbrella. "Princess, my heart shines as bright as the moon."

She waited for him all night outside the dim palace walls. But the man in the carriage only scoffed, never even lifting the curtain, and drove away.

At first, when Wei Heng's advisers heard that Princess Changning had come to him in the rain, they warned him: "Your old grievances with the late emperor remain unresolved. The princess is only trying to borrow your power to destroy the Li clan of Huaixi. Please think carefully, my lord."

Wei Heng's expression was cold as he silently turned the teacup in his hand. "Marrying her is merely a temporary expedient."

He would settle old and new grudges with her, little by little.

Later...

Beneath the moonlight, Wei Heng's shadow fell black. He blocked her way, his eyes clouded with confusion and helplessness. "Why are you angry?"
