The Fragrance of Leaves Leads the Geese Home

[Ye Yuncheng × Chen Xunyan] [Master of tea arts vs. career-minded woman]

Gentle, scheming male lead vs. domineering, sly heiress

The eldest Chen daughter is stunningly beautiful, rich, powerful, domineering, and haughty. No one in S City's wealthy circles dares to provoke her or pursue her.

Everyone wonders what kind of wealthy family could possibly marry a woman like her.

Miss Chen has announced her marriage.

Her spouse: handsome, unattached, and a pretty boy.

Everyone is dumbfounded, wondering if Miss Chen has lost her head over love.

"Mr. Ye, how did you win the heart of a wealthy heiress?"

Ye Yuncheng took the microphone and earnestly shared his secrets. "Be good-looking, good in bed, good at tea arts, obedient and sensible, and know your place..."

Host: The epitome of masculine virtue.

The world sees only their glamorous life and their intimacy.

But no one knows that they first met at their lowest point and grew together, hand in hand.

A fragrant leaf, a cup of tea

Through the ups and downs of splendor, Xunyan comes

2. The male lead's personality isn't very obvious early on. His scheming side is well hidden.

3. The female lead seems like a well-behaved girl, but she's actually a master of verbal sparring.

4. This is a contest entry, and the story promotes tea culture.

5. Comments, bookmarks, and follows are welcome! (Heart, pen heart)

Coming soon, currently in the works: pre-release novel "Alas, My Disciple Won't Let Me Take the Male Role"

[Detached sword cultivator female master vs. green-tea beauty demon lord disciple]

After being reborn, Chu Wanjun has no grand ambitions. She just wants to live a quiet, carefree life as a low-ranking helper in an immortal sect.

One day, the demon lord Xuan Ye arrives with his people to slaughter everyone in the sect.

The sect is in a panic. They can't fight back or escape.

Annoyed that the demon lord is disturbing her peaceful life in seclusion, she strikes with her sword intent and runs him straight through.

The next day, Chu Wanjun wakes to find a blood-covered, half-dead man in her little courtyard.

His features are exquisite, like snow and wind in the mountains, cold yet strangely bewitching, stirring something in her heart...

Mesmerized by his looks, Chu Wanjun loses her head and takes him in.

Once he wakes, he sticks to her side, doing the laundry and cooking without complaint.

Such devoted care. What a perfect husband...

The man is the demon lord who attacked the immortal sect that day...

Chu Wanjun had already noticed. So what if he's the demon lord? With her watching him, he can't cause trouble.

Living like this is pretty nice.

Until one day, as the spring breeze blows, she wakes up in the man's bed and sees a mark on his waist. It's like a bolt from the blue...

Chu Wanjun stares in disbelief. "You..." Why are you my obedient disciple?!

The man blinks innocently. "Master, are you going to take me and then abandon me?"

When Luo Dongling was young, his parents were murdered, and his spiritual roots were defective. Everyone avoided him, and only his master was willing to take him as a disciple.

His master was powerful, the greatest cultivator in the immortal realm, unmatched by anyone in the world.

Other than being a little lazy, she had no real flaws.

Luo Dongling thought he might as well make the best of things. Being a well-behaved disciple wasn't so bad.

He only wanted to cultivate wholeheartedly with his master, day after day.

But Heaven had gone blind. Everyone in the world insisted that his master bear the tribulation and save them.

His kind-hearted master died, and he went mad.

Chu Wanjun thought she'd let go of all attachments and had nothing left to care about, but she never imagined someone still remembered her.

Luo Dongling thought the world had become dark forever, but a century later, he saw the morning light of those days again.

Bonus scene:

Chu Wanjun: Who understands? I slept with the demon lord and discovered he was my disciple from a previous life?

Luo Dongling: Master, please don't leave your disciple again this time.
