My Paranoid General and I Turned Our Fake Romance Real

[Gentle, scheming, and alluring bottom vs. sharp-tongued, soft-hearted loyal top]

Please support my upcoming novel, Transmigrated into a Book and Falling for the Villain. The blurb is below.

Blurb for this novel:

The physician's son, Ji Qing, is reborn as a dim-witted prince bullied in the Cold Palace. The emperor uses him as a bargaining chip, marrying him off to the God of War, General Lu Jingshen.

Lu Jingshen is the very man Ji Qing ran away from before. In his previous life, Lu was afflicted with a cold poison and had little time left to live.

To save him, Ji Qing has no choice but to act the part of a foolish prince who suddenly regains his wits and happens to be proficient in medicine.

On their wedding night, Lu Jingshen presents him with a letter of divorce. "I have no intention of marrying again. From now on, we shall stay out of each other's affairs."

Clutching the divorce letter, Ji Qing happily starts saving up a little nest egg. This time, he can run away in broad daylight.

Who could have guessed that an accident would lead to them spending a night together?

Afterward, taking advantage of Lu Jingshen's drugged unconsciousness, Ji Qing pretends nothing happened, planning to slip away as soon as the man is cured.

Instead, Lu Jingshen corners him in the room. "Your Highness married me in both your lives, and now that you've had your fill, you want to deny responsibility?"

Ji Qing clutches his aching waist, his legs trembling. Stunned, he wonders: when did his cover get blown?

But Lu Jingshen is the one on top. Is it really appropriate for him to say that? He's the one who was thoroughly ravished, left without a scrap.

When the two armies face off, Lu Jingshen shoots an arrow from afar, striking the hostage on the city wall through the heart. That hostage is none other than the wife he has never met. He resolves to spend the rest of his life alone to atone for it.

Yet there is one person who makes him unable to help falling in love, even if it means breaking his vow.

He thought he was destined to live in hell for the rest of his life: unable to cast off his resentment or expiate his sins, unable to love or obtain what he longed for...

Until he discovers Ji Qing's secret: he has been reborn.

This time, Lu Jingshen will never let him go, body or soul.

A little scene:

Before learning the truth, General Lu takes pains to avoid impropriety during acupuncture, pulling his trousers almost up to his armpits. "Your Highness, please teach the acupuncture technique to one of my subordinates. I have, after all, married a man before. To overstep like this could damage Your Highness's reputation."

After learning the truth, General Lu strips down to his undershorts, which he wears so low they barely cover the bottom of his hip crease.

Ji Qing is practically laughing with rage.

This dog will never change. He's even trying to seduce him.

Is Ji Qing the sort of person to lose his head over a pretty face?

He turns and orders, "Add half a jin of coptis to the medicinal bath. The general is in a particularly foul temper today."

Lu Jingshen: "..." Pickled to perfection.

Please support my next novel, Transmigrated into a Book and Falling for the Villain!

Tao Ran is a minor cannon-fodder character in a political intrigue novel, with no connection to the protagonists. His only purpose is to highlight the villainous mastermind's image as a frail scholar and lay the groundwork for Gu Huaijing's return to the capital and rebellion.

In the original book, the villain is an aloof beauty with no love interest. The only time he ever feels desire is at a poetry gathering at Fayuan Temple.

Tao Ran shoves Gu Huaijing into a lake in front of everyone, then drugs the ginger soup served by a monk.

But instead of seeing Gu Huaijing make a fool of himself, Tao Ran is stripped naked and tied to a pillar at the temple for everyone to gawk at.

His reputation in ruins, Tao Ran makes one foolish move after another to get revenge on Gu Huaijing. Gu Huaijing catches him in the act, and the emperor orders his whole family executed. Tao Ran drags the entire Duke's household down with him, becoming the first stepping stone in Gu Huaijing's rise to power.

When Tao Ran transmigrates into the book, they are at Fayuan Temple. Gu Huaijing's drug has taken effect, and he has Tao Ran pinned to the ground.

Is heaven trying to destroy him?

Just imagining people gawking at his naked privates makes Tao Ran feel faint.

He sneaks a glance at the impressive bulge in the villain's trousers and asks timidly, "Are you uncomfortable? Maybe I could help you take care of it?" What he really means is: please don't knock me out and strip me. If I'm unconscious, there'll be no one to help you.

Gu Huaijing sneers. "What do you think, young lord?"

The heir to the Duke of Ning, nephew of the current empress and cousin to the crown prince, is true blue royalty. Just a moment ago, he had brazenly brought an old nun here, claiming she could help Gu Huaijing relieve himself, when in reality he meant to ruin his reputation.

But the young lord, who should have been unconscious, has suddenly woken up and changed his attitude? What is he plotting now?

"What if I told you I pushed you into the lake and drugged you because I admire you? Would you believe me?"

Tao Ran bluffs without a second thought. The villain has no love interest, after all; he won't fall for anyone. In his heart, though, he curses the brat. He's got everything going for him, except he's far too calculating. He's a martial arts expert, so why pretend to be a frail scholar and fall into the lake so easily? If he hadn't, why would a mere side character like Tao Ran have to act out this cliché plotline?

Gu Huaijing narrows his phoenix eyes. "You threw a cactus at me during the parade, and deliberately shot at me during the spring hunt..."

"I was trying to get your attention," Tao Ran hastily improvises, thinking: these are all just plot setup, brat.

Gu Huaijing lifts his chin, his gaze brazen. "How does the young lord intend to help me?"

Under his stare, Tao Ran's scalp tingles, and a chill creeps up his spine.

After Fayuan Temple, Gu Huaijing decides the young heir to the Duke of Ning must be insane.

The things he does behind the scenes somehow suit Gu Huaijing's tastes, and every so often he looks at him with a strangely tender gaze.

If Gu Huaijing hadn't seen those clear eyes, completely devoid of desire, he might actually have believed his nonsense.

Ever since arriving in the capital, this young lord has opposed him at every turn. Why has he suddenly changed his ways?

He seems brainless, yet keeps making astonishing moves. What will he do next?

Gu Huaijing finds himself... looking forward to it.
