Why Not Soar to the Heavens?

My next book, Princess with a Knife, is open for advance reservations. Please add it to your collection! Two nations go to war, and the defeated nation offers up its princess in a political marriage. The princess is delicate and sheltered, raised deep within the palace and never exposed to the world. Surrounded by enemies in a foreign land, she has no chance of survival and, weeping, tries to take her own life. The female general Shen Beimò arrives just in time. Her blade flashes cold as she cuts down the white silk and saves the little princess she grew up with, who is as dear to her as a younger sister. In a low voice, she comforts her: "I lost the battle. I'll marry in your place." The female general has spent years roughing it among men, and long since lost the delicate softness expected of a young woman. Even pearls, jade ornaments, silks, and brocades cannot hide the murderous aura about her. Dressed in a scarlet wedding gown and phoenix crown, Shen Beimo sits upright in the bridal carriage, clutching the jade hairpin the princess gave her. She closes her eyes and keeps reminding herself: Watch what you say and do. Keep your temper in check. No one must find out. I have to endure. Then the carriage curtain is lifted. Through a thin veil of red, Shen Beimo sees the man who has come to meet his bride. A cold face, few words, a mountain of bloodshed, and the presence of a wolf. The Great Chu prince known as the Swift Wind, the enemy commander who broke through Shen Beimo's northwestern defenses. The bride grits her teeth. The jade hairpin in her hand snaps in two. Of all the roads in the world, their paths had to cross here. [A lovesick, hopelessly unlucky male lead who thoroughly offends his wife, then falls for her at first sight and can't help himself x a breathtaking mixed-heritage general from a foreign tribe] [She was sitting at home when her wife came flying down from the sky with a knife] - Princess with a Knife, coming soon. Please add it to your collection! Anyang, the noble little phoenix of the imperial capital, was born to be a princess. But after the Imperial Astronomical Bureau declared her inauspicious, she was adopted by a collateral branch of the imperial clan and became a young lady of the Liu household, ignored by everyone. One winter, as heavy snow fell, Anyang, barely able to look after herself, rescued a stable hand who was about to be beaten to death in a heap of discarded snow. The slave was covered in blood but possessed a remarkable will to live. He had been beaten nearly to death, stripped naked, and thrown into the snow. Looking at him, Anyang felt as if she were looking at herself. Many years later, the general returned victorious to the capital, clad in armor and military uniform, and entered that fragrant mansion. The battle-hardened general's gaze was gentle. He willingly knelt before those pale, bare feet, clasped them reverently, and kissed them. "I'm back, Your Highness." [The female lead is reborn, and the male lead is a loyal puppy she raises from a young age] Theme: Become a better version of yourself.
