My new novel, After Marrying the Crown Prince as a Substitute Bride, is now out. Come check it out!
In a secret chamber at the Crown Prince's villa outside the city, Mu Zhiyi was dead drunk. She had accidentally taken an aphrodisiac, and the torment in her heart was unbearable.
In a hazy, dreamlike daze, a white-robed immortal entered the room. He was handsome and tall. Mu Zhiyi stared at him in a trance, her voice low and husky. "Immortal, save me."
She threw herself at him against her will, and the white-robed immortal became a red-clad demon.
Pei Qingyun, the legitimate son of the Pei family, had been ambushed and badly wounded. He hid in the secret chamber of a friend's villa.
The moment he stepped inside, a warm body fell into his arms. The impact made blood gush from his wound, staining his pale-moon robes red.
The woman's slender fingertips were burning hot as she began to undo his clothes. He dodged, but after losing too much blood, he was pushed down onto the bed instead.
Pei Qingyun: "Miss, you've got the wrong person."
Mu Zhiyi couldn't make out what he was saying and kissed him outright.
Pei Qingyun: "Miss, please behave yourself."
Mu Zhiyi: "I'm not heavy."
She licked her lips and complained, "Why did you bite me!"
Pei Qingyun: "..."
The next morning, Mu Zhiyi woke up sober. She'd had a dream, a very naughty one, and the man in it had been none other than Pei Qingyun, the Pei family's legitimate son who had once entered a monastery.
What a sin! What a sin!
But afterward, whenever she saw him, Mu Zhiyi found herself staring at his lean waist, then feeling her heart tighten when his icy black eyes turned toward her.
Until one day, Mu Zhiyi secretly went to a pharmacy in the market to buy medicine. Through a strange twist of fate, word reached Pei Qingyun that she wanted an abortion. That night, Pei Qingyun, who had always been cold and distant toward her, appeared outside her bedroom window. With a serious expression, he said, "An abortion will harm your health. I'll come propose tomorrow."
Mu Zhiyi: "...?!"

Both leads are each other's first; happy ending.
The male lead seems like an untouchable flower on a high peak, but he's a little dark and unhinged.

My next novel, After Refusing to Be a Substitute (Taking by Cunning), is coming soon. Please add it to your collection!
Everyone says that the second daughter of the Shi family, Shi Yirong, is as beautiful as an immortal, a peerless beauty whose face alone would make a life complete.
Sadly, the Shi family fell from grace, and the moon in the sky became a reflection in the water.
At the city's largest pleasure house, she moved with graceful elegance. Snow fell in the winter wind, and she wore only a thin gauzy dress as she danced among the snow. Wealthy merchants and nobles filled the seats around her. Whoever offered the highest price tonight would claim her first night as a hostess.
The men grew restless, their eyes fixed on her.
Only one man, with the bearing of a pine tree and gentle features, came to stand before her. He draped his warm cloak around her and asked quietly, "Would you like to come with me?"
Everyone present fell silent. No one even dared to look up again.
Xie Yanchen, the legitimate son of the Xie family head, the foremost family among the nobility, was of unmatched status and distinction. When Shi Yi met his gaze with her clear eyes, she obediently nodded.
Everyone knew that Second Master Xie had a beloved woman he could never have. They had been childhood friends who loved each other, and theirs should have been a beautiful love story. Sadly, before she could marry into the Xie family, an accident took her away. From then on, she became a wound in Second Master Xie's heart that could never heal.
And Shi Yi looked somewhat like her.
That was her good fortune.
Shi Yi knew it, too. She dutifully served Xie Yanchen, wearing the clothes he liked and using the scents he preferred. At night, she even called him "A Chen" in that woman's voice, indulging all his moods and peculiar tastes.
Xie Yanchen liked how sensible and obedient she was. She was like a clingy cat, and when he was in a good mood, he would let her visit her family and treat her a little more gently.
He thought she would always be so sensible. After all, she was timid and meek, and never dared disobey any of his orders. That was until he was unexpectedly injured and fell unconscious. When he woke, he searched the entire city but couldn't find her anywhere.
Later, Xie Yanchen thought her daring to run away was the biggest surprise she could give him. Then he found her and saw the man beside her, whose features resembled his by seven parts out of ten. In that moment, all he wanted was to kill her.
Reading guide:
Both leads are each other's first; happy ending; possessive pursuit.
The male lead mistakes the female lead for his substitute, but the female lead truly does treat him as a substitute. However, the male lead is no good man.
Theme: Giving each other love
After reading it, I think it is well written, the overall idea of the article is also there, and the plot is well integrated. The first thing that attracted me was the setting of the male protagonist - face blindness. This setting is very novel. The male protagonist and the female protagonist are mutually exploitable CPs. Both of them were pitiful when they were young. One was sent by his grandfather to become a monk at Pushan Temple outside the city when he was very young, and the other was often abused by his stepmother. The two actually met several times when they were young. Yiyi was sent to Qingxin Temple by her mother and met a "sister". This "sister" often ate lotus cakes given by Pei Qingyun, so Yiyi also managed the boy to ask for lotus cakes. In fact, this sister is my aunt, and she is Pei Qingyun's mother. Another time, after the two grew up, Yiyi and his friends put a paper kite together, but the kite fell. When the heroine's friend went to pick it up, he said that the hero broke it, so the heroine always wanted the hero to apologize. However, because Pei Qingyun didn't recognize people well and it was the heroine's friend who picked up the kite first, he instead apologized to the heroine's friend. Yiyi always hated him in her heart, and once thought that there was something wrong between them. In fact, the intersection between the female protagonist and the male protagonist is all because of the two recent cases in the Dayin Dynasty, "The Enemy Country's Hidden Stake" and the "Missing Woman Case." The male protagonist, as the highest official of the Privy Council, investigated these two cases. He found that the case was also related to the heroine. In fact, from the heroine's side, things were very complicated. First of all, Liu Wan is the heroine's stepmother, not her biological mother. Yiyi also heard about it accidentally when she was a child, and knew that her aunt Liu Shu was her biological mother. Yiyi's uncle Liu Quan and Liu Wan were biological siblings, but Liu Shu was not. Liu Shu originally fell in love with Mu Wansong and was ready to get married, but Liu Wan was jealous of her and teamed up with Liu Quan to let her get together with a guard to ruin her innocence. Therefore, Liu Shu did not get married to the heroine's father. Instead, she was reviled by the world and was abused in the countryside. And Liu Wan took the opportunity to come in and be with Mu Wansong. So the heroine always wanted the iron certificate of the elixir given by the emperor, and she wanted to kill Liu Wan to avenge her mother. In fact, the heroine just wanted to find out the truth and avenge Liu Shu, but when she found out that Liu Quan had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and her mother Liu Shu was also involved, she became greedy and wanted to protect her mother. It was at this time that she asked the hero for help and went to his house every day to make sauce with him. In fact, I really dislike the female protagonist. In fact, the female protagonist doesn't want to be with the male protagonist because she has no choice but to do so and the male protagonist promised to help Liu Shu, a collaborator and traitor, escape unscathed and help the female protagonist, so the female protagonist is with him. In fact, both of them are the winners of the benefits. Although the heroine has to go to the hero's house every day, you have something to ask for, and the hero is willing to help you. The prerequisite is to feel lust. But the female protagonist is very awkward. She always makes conditions to the male protagonist without saying anything. Even knowing that the male protagonist doesn't like others to lie, she always lies to the male protagonist. She keeps getting lucky and repeatedly jumps on the edge of the male protagonist wanting to kill her. It just feels like the heroine is being pretentious. There is also about the heroine's feelings for her mother, the nominal aunt in the early stage. Although it is explained later in the article why she has feelings for her mother, even though she has not been raised by Liu Shu since she was a child, I think it is best to write it at the beginning, because only then can I know the reason. Before I read why she was so good to her aunt, I really couldn't understand how she behaved like a mother to her aunt earlier. And with Xie Yuheng and Yun Cheng, first of all, Prince Xie Yuheng, I can understand the two childhood sweethearts, but this prince is very unreasonable. He inexplicably marries the heroine's cousin, and wants to get his feelings, and has an inexplicable possessiveness about the feelings. I feel that the heroine also seems to have some affection for the prince. If there is no marriage with the heroine's cousin, I feel that the heroine should be with the prince. At first, the heroine begged the queen, hoping to add a sentence to the iron coupon in the alchemy book: the iron coupon can be given to others. As a result, the queen did not see her the next day because of the prince's reasons, and did not give her the single book iron certificate. Then there is Yun Cheng. After Yun Cheng came back from the war with his father, he also knew that Yiyi wanted the iron book of alchemy, so he asked for it in front of the emperor. He also confessed to the heroine, but the heroine was not with him. Later, Yun Cheng told Yiyi that there was another way to help her, which was to let Liu Shu become a member of the Yun family and let her adopt her into the Yun family. I really didn't expect that the heroine would agree and be very happy. First of all, let's not talk about Liu Shutong's disagreement. Even if she agreed, the Yun family would never agree. Why would someone use it on an outsider if they risked their lives to fight for something from the emperor? Just to help her? The heroine is too selfish, she wants and doesn't want it, she should and should do it at the same time. I feel that the female protagonist is just like the male protagonist said. The female protagonist is a very stupid and selfish person who only thinks about herself. Desperate to get what she wants by trying to please her without giving anything. As for Pei Qingyun, he saw through her obsessions and desires, and was used to seeing people's hearts and calculations. Knowing Xie Yuheng and the Queen, he had already seen all this clearly. He didn't have to do anything, he just had to watch with cold eyes and be the oriole overlooking everything, and everything would develop in the direction he wanted. He sees through everyone. Just waiting to close his net and imprison her in it. So the heroine has no choice but to choose to be with the hero. Let's talk about the emotional line between the two. I think I also said something before that the two of them had sex first and then fell in love. Maybe there was no love at all in the past. After Liu Shu's matter was resolved, he followed Liu Shu and his family to other places. He had no intention of coming back to find the male protagonist. It was the male protagonist who came to find her later. After the two were trapped in the cave, it felt like the heroine couldn't help but agreed to the hero's proposal. If you say there is love between the two, then there is indeed it. If you say there is no love, then there is some love. In fact, the meaning is that Pei Qingyun loves to act coquettishly in front of Pei Qingyun, a little girl who is spoiled and spoiled. The interaction between the two is so sweet, I'm going to faint. ——After being poisoned by Yiyi, he half-knelt in the snow and dug different herbs in the snowdrift. Like a devout believer kneeling in front of a Buddha statue. The blood on the cut wrist was frozen by the cold night. It can only be cut open again and left in the dazzling whiteness. Pei Qingyun couldn't tell how he felt at this time. He didn't want Mu Zhiyi to die. She thought of that day when she called him "Pei Lang" in order to deceive her grandma. She also thought of that day when she stayed at his house. He looked at her face sleeping soundly on the couch in the morning light. At that time, he had the idea of marrying her. He wanted to see her every day when he returned to his house. He vowed not to marry a wife in this life, but he could change it for her. ——"I hope that the girl who has been hidden in my heart for several years will be able to turn bad things into good fortune and be free from illness and disaster for the rest of her life. "
Oh my God, I actually read a lot after reading this article. I am quite satisfied with the author's portrayal of the male protagonist. It is really sick. I am not satisfied with the female protagonist. I think it is very monotonous and has no outstanding points, which is understandable. After all, it is based on the setting of this article. I did not read the later part. Maybe the female protagonist has some growth later. I think the author's writing is quite fluent. The plot is not good, but the male protagonist is OK, but the female protagonist is not. I hope that next time I see the author's article, I can see an attractive female protagonist, otherwise your readers will not be able to promote your good article 🤷
Dad, are you preparing to not become the crown princess? Are you going to write it?
I thought Pei Qingyun had changed his gender. When I saw the end, I had to say that it had to be you, little Pei, rush, rush.
Hahahahahaha Mr. Pei has a lot of tricks.
[Orange candy] I got it [Orange candy] I got it [Orange candy] I got it
Crazy criticism of the male protagonist is really addictive, but it would be more perfect if the details were better connected from beginning to end. [Compare your heart]
Beautiful and beautiful, well written
So bold, so direct.
The hero got it too easily
