Coming soon: After I Tempted the Coolheaded Young Uncle. The blurb is at the end. If it catches your interest, please take a look, dear readers!
[Tea-scented, beautiful, ruthless, flirtatious prince X a beautiful general who doesn't get romance but can perform brain surgery]
A princess in the morning, a general by night. A terrifying mask splits Sheng Ci's pampered, worry-free life in public from the bloody battles she wages on the frontier.
After years of commanding the battlefield disguised as a man, she returns to the capital, rejects a political marriage, and promptly welcomes a breathtakingly handsome man into her home as her live-in husband.
When it comes to virtue, he's an expert in tea; when it comes to sincerity, he's got the looks.
Someone warns her that the man is a venomous snake wearing a face as beautiful as a painted mask.
But to investigate a case, she decides to turn a blind eye.
"You can't seriously not see him killing people and setting fires!"
"Don't talk nonsense. My husband is frail and helpless."
[Tea-Scented Theater]
After nightfall, Wen Yu takes her slightly calloused hand and places it over his heart, his eyes tender as water.
She calmly looks away and reaches for the cool tea beside her to settle her nerves and put out the fire.
"Wifey, listen. Is my heart racing?"
"...If you're sick, go see a doctor. This general can't treat you."
"Wifey, tonight... do you have anything in mind?"
"Getting a full eight hours of sleep."
...He can't get a rise out of her. He really can't.
*
He tempts her at every turn, but in the face of all that alluring springtime beauty, she remains unmoved, her heart as clear as a polished mirror.
Until night truly falls all around them.
The army is defeated. The city falls.
Trapped in enemy territory, she sees the red cord around her ankle like a shackle, reflecting the passion they once shared and her miserable state now.
A spring night passes beneath the silk curtains. When the candle burns out, the daylight reveals him covered in bloody wounds.
Sheng Ci's hair is disheveled and her voice hoarse, but her pride remains undiminished.
"If you don't kill me, you'll die by my sword sooner or later."
He sheds the pretense of his former gentle, pitiable self completely. Taking her hand, he guides it to the scar over his heart. A deep, burning light flickers in his eyes.
"I gave you your life. Where do you think you can run now?"
Let's split the page
Coming soon: After I Tempted the Coolheaded Young Uncle
He Xianzhi is dazzlingly beautiful, with a waist so slender you could encircle it with one hand, and a charm that makes men's knees weak.
Unfortunately, fortune has never favored her. At eighteen, she was sold as a second wife to the impotent eldest son of the Man family. Less than a year later, her husband hanged himself, and her father fell critically ill.
With no way out, she can only claim to be carrying her late husband's posthumous child and set her sights on her husband's younger uncle for protection.
She chooses Man San, the one who looks easiest to hook. After a night of passionate intimacy, she thinks the deal is sealed, unaware that...
She seduced the wrong man last night.
*
The distinguished Man family has four sons in this generation. The second, Man Yu, is handsome and refined, exceptionally gifted, and already a Grand Secretary in the Cabinet at a young age, bringing glory to the family and outshining everyone around him.
Rumor has it that Grand Secretary Man keeps a portrait in his sleeve of an exquisite woman as beautiful as a celestial maiden, the woman he loves.
The people of the capital speculate endlessly: what kind of beauty could make the flawless second son of the Man family fall so deeply in love that he would risk angering the emperor by refusing an arranged marriage?
Many young women from prominent families adore him, but He Xianzhi has always been wary of him.
She feels he is like an enlightened monk, while she is like a demon with little cultivation. In front of him, none of her tricks can stay hidden.
And yet, by a twist of fate, she still ends up tempting him.
One day, she is falsely accused and surrounded in the street. Just as she is at her most wretched, a pair of long, jade-like hands helps her up.
"It's been a long time. Has your leg healed?"
The person who rescues her is none other than Man Yu.
From then on, rumors in the capital grow louder, claiming she is the woman in Grand Secretary Man's portrait.
*
Only He Xianzhi knows that on that damp, ambiguous spring night, the second son of the Man family, a gentleman of impeccable public manners, cornered her. His long fingers, usually occupied with brush and book, clenched until his knuckles turned white. A heavy flame seemed to burn in his eyes, scorching her inch by inch.
His jade-like fingertips, stained with blood, gently brushed her trembling chin. His cool voice was as dangerous as the King of Hell's.
"You only want a fleeting affair, not a lifetime together?"
She hurried to explain, "Our stations are too different. We could never be husband and wife..."
His cool, thin lips came down, forcefully claiming her tears and softness, just as they had on so many nights before.
"What if... I'm the one who's greedy?"
Jade stained by dust, she brings the fire upon herself.
Message: Better to save yourself
I thought it was really a story about strong women, but when I saw this, I only saw the powerlessness of the heroine. In the end, she didn't have to rely on men. . . . . Speechless
So it's not like the Queen Mother and the ministers designed all these things together, right?
These two people kind of feel like Mr. And Mrs. Smith
Oh, isn't the heroine very noble? This young lady can break in casually and no one dares to stop her, and then accuses her of adultery in front of the heroine (I must have not missed any plot points, right?)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally) does a great job o (≧v≦) o, it took me a day to read this article, the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists and the game between the two countries are really delicate and vivid, please give it a try, I look forward to pre-order! (PS: Can you write more extras? I really want to see the sticky daily life of two people putting aside their identities.
What a great writeup! Great cheers
It looks great, come on! Spread flowers spread flowers
We finally kissed each other, the author said that there will be two updates today, Zun Du Fake Du O. O
If he doesn't play according to the routine, then Wen Yu will definitely come to save Sheng Ci in the next chapter, hahaha
The copywriting is so interesting, but why are there so few collections? I have collected it! If you have any suggestions while reading the article, where can you provide them?
