[Here's an upcoming novel, "The Beloved Sickly Beauty Mistook Someone Else for His Daoist Partner." It launches in mid-April. Please add it to your collection!] Reborn as a cannon-fodder puppet, Fu Gu Zhou is an emperor whose life is worth less than a dog's. His only purpose is to witness the protagonist shou's madness and misery, before being brutally killed by him in the end. Fu Gu Zhou, unable to die even a moment before his appointed time: Whatever. If Chu Shuangtan is crazy, I'm even better at going mad. Forced to play his part, Fu Gu Zhou exhausts himself every day driving everyone around him insane. Today, he has the palace's chief eunuch, who tried to murder him, beaten to death. Tomorrow, he offends every official at court and dismisses all who dare offend him, sending them straight to prison. The day after, he turns his cruelty on the people, sparing no ordinary citizens. And that's not all. There's also the elegant, aloof, otherworldly hostage prince, a beautiful, tragic powerhouse who will soon kill Fu Gu Zhou and take the throne. One night, Fu Gu Zhou leads men into Chu Shuangtan's residence without permission and uses his power to abduct him as a male concubine, endlessly humiliating and tormenting him. He makes Chu Shuangtan warm his bed and serve as a human body pillow; forces him to kiss him; insists he obey; forbids him from being rough; and, through one accident after another, sleeps with him. Fu Gu Zhou knows Chu Shuangtan hates him to the core. This man, aloof and proud, is a master of disguise. Given the chance, he would kill Fu Gu Zhou without hesitation to avenge his humiliation. * Under Fu Gu Zhou's brutal rule, a country that had been in chaos and on the brink of collapse instead comes back to life. Everyone with ulterior motives becomes meek as a quail. The people call Fu Gu Zhou a wise ruler because he solves problems with food and clothing, tackles natural disasters, builds free schools across the country, and reforms policy to let women enter government service. The only disappointment is that the protagonist shou still manages to escape. When they meet again, the other man has become the most powerful person in an enemy kingdom, and his temperament is even colder and more withdrawn. Fu Gu Zhou is bound and brought before Chu Shuangtan, just as he once brought the protagonist shou before him. In the grand, austere hall, the other man looks as aloof and untouchable as ever. He walks down and gently lifts Fu Gu Zhou's chin. Fu Gu Zhou accepts his fate and closes his eyes. He has few regrets. "If you're going to kill me, hurry up. I have nothing to say." "Kill you?" The other man chuckles. "I remember everything you did to me back then, Your Majesty. Of course I'll return the favor first."

Please add it to your collection, and may you all get rich! (Launching in mid-April) Lan Xi is a sickly young man with little time left to live. To gain a new life, he must find the book's chosen one, the male lead Ji Yingrong, make him fall in love, and then die by his sword. Bad news: The male lead, Ji Yingrong, is exceptionally gifted and rose to fame at a young age. He is the only disciple of the highly respected Immortal Zun Yinyu of Kunlun Mountain, the foremost of the five great sects in the cultivation world. Though Ji Yingrong seems gentle, he is actually cold and aloof, with his heart set only on the great path and all living beings. Countless people pursue him, but he has never responded to anyone. Good news: Immortal Zun Yinyu is Lan Xi's great-grandfather. Lan Xi and Ji Yingrong were betrothed as children, making Ji Yingrong his rightful fiance and Daoist partner. Just then, evil demons run rampant in the mortal world, and Ji Yingrong is sent by his sect to the capital to exterminate them. Lan Xi deliberately lets the demons capture him, setting up a heroic rescue for his first meeting with the male lead. But when he finally meets the male lead, the man isn't quite like the rumors say. - They say the male lead established his foundation at seven, formed his core at ten, and ascended to the Nascent Soul Realm at twenty-three. He trained day and night, and his life-bound sword was his wife. The man before Lan Xi takes him out for fun every day. Wherever there's something new to see, they're together, and he never even takes out his sword. They say the male lead has spent half his life slaying demons and upholding the righteous path, with an aura of unshakable righteousness. The man before him disrespects his sect and Kunlun Mountain, steals treasures from the five great sects to give Lan Xi as toys, and even the feared lord of the Demon Realm bows and scrambles to serve as Lan Xi's mount. They say the male lead is strict with himself and keeps away from romance and lust. The man before Lan Xi picks him up to touch and sniff him whenever he feels like it, as if savoring a delicious little pastry. Besides that, when Lan Xi falls ill or has a headache, the man patiently massages his head; he uses magic to ease Lan Xi's pain; and he nourishes the frail boy with countless treasures stolen from the three realms, making him stronger and helping him advance far faster than the famously gifted male lead. Just as Lan Xi decides the timing is about right and starts wondering how to get the male lead to kill him with one sword strike, The real male lead, Ji Yingrong, arrives with an icy expression and sword in hand. "Palace Master Shuiyue, you've kept my fiance from me for so long. Isn't it time to return him?" The man casually wraps an arm around Lan Xi's waist and pulls the young man into his embrace, his touch intimate. "I took him, so he's mine. Why should I return him?" - Later, the man takes Lan Xi back to Shuiyue Palace and confines him in a beautiful place where peach blossoms bloom throughout the palace. He still gives Lan Xi everything he wants, but won't let him leave. Only then does Lan Xi realize what kind of dangerous person he has provoked. The man who has been by his side every day is none other than Yun Jue, the Palace Master of Shuiyue Palace, who is even more terrifying than the Demon Realm. If Yun Jue wishes it, he can destroy all three realms in an instant. [Reader's Guide] 1.
