A new story, "The Princess and the Slave," is in the works. The blurb is at the end.
Blurb:
After the man she loved dies for treason, Yuan Yue is ordered to marry her childhood companion, the Sixth Prince, Du Que.
He can be summed up in one sentence: he has the title of a prince, but not the fate of one.
Unsurprisingly, their marriage becomes a laughingstock.
As he endures one torment after another, the mask of meek obedience slips.
The Eastern Palace is drenched in blood, the empress is deposed, and he suddenly becomes the new master of the Eastern Palace.
Fear creeps into every pore.
Yuan Yue grits her teeth and sets a great fire, burning this exquisite web of traps to the ground.
*
One late night, beside a long street.
The crown prince sits astride a tall horse, looking down coldly at the person beneath him. Slowly, he says, "Your parents are still sitting safely in the Eastern Palace. Don't you plan to go back and see them, Crown Princess?"
What do you do when the bird in its cage tries to escape?
Bring it back and break its wings.
1. Includes bloody tropes such as forced possession and lovers turning against each other.
2. Happy ending, one true pairing.
"The Princess and the Slave"
Willful, spoiled eldest princess vs. obsessive, restrained regent
Shen Huaizhu, the most imperious princess in all of Daye, has just one regret in her life: she cannot have the cool, moonlike prime minister, Zhou Yu.
One day at the beast-fighting arena, she happens to glance down and see a slave lying in a pool of blood, sweeping his gaze over the spectators below.
His face, smeared with blood, bears an uncanny resemblance to the man she loves.
"I want that slave." She tosses down a fortune and, as the crowd stares in shock, walks forward and holds out her hand. "From now on, you belong to my princess's residence."
From that day on, the princess's residence has a vicious dog that bites, and she takes pleasure in letting him overstep his bounds.

Ye Linyuan once thought this was salvation.
Until, on a rainy night, he catches her in an intimate moment in the warm pavilion. Leaning against Zhou Yu, she laughs softly. "Being a little like you is a blessing for that wretched slave."
In the rain, the young man clenches his fist until his knuckles turn white.
Later, he climbs a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood to become regent. The first thing he does is imprison the princess who has fallen into the dirt.
"Have you forgotten, Your Highness?" He grips the once-radiant pearl now dulled by dust, storms raging in his eyes. "I was never a righteous gentleman..."
"I am the wretched slave you said deserved to die."
Theme: The past cannot be undone
Why is it that in order to torture the male protagonist, the female protagonist is described as being like a primary school student, her behavior is very inappropriate, and she is mentally retarded. I really don't understand the reason why she did this. She obviously chose to marry the male protagonist, but she did all kinds of things in the later period, as if she was forced. In fact, she understood that she was thinking about the family, but her later behavior was very puzzling. If the male protagonist didn't pamper her, she would be like pushing herself and her family into a pit of fire. It felt like a group of people were playing with her. . .
I watched the ending again, wow, I felt a bit reluctant to let it go when it was over.
It's an unfortunate time for me to come... (Daiyu tone)
New volume!! Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent
It's okay, Girl Goose, if he doesn't come, I will! [Spread flowers]
Alas, two people torture each other
What a long chapter, wow, happiness
The female goose is so deep hahahaha
Although it is... The three dragons raise their heads in March (unreasonable association)
The heroine is really hard to describe...
