A Spring Night's Dream with You in the Painting

Two chapters a day, with extra updates at no set time. Next novel: Settling the Score (Coercive Love)

Gu Qingyan was the very model of an aristocratic young lady in the capital. Not only was she refined and self-possessed, but her skill with brush and ink was so exceptional that no one could hope to match her.

But no one knew that when alone, Gu Qingyan was outrageously bold.

She had read every erotic story and pornographic picture on the market, and finding them dull, had started drawing her own.

In that book she could never let anyone see, the woman was naturally herself.

As for the man, Gu Qingyan had carefully chosen the tall, broad-shouldered, handsome and distinguished General Lu Xun.

Lu Xun had a fine appearance, and his identity as a general offered plenty of possibilities to draw.

He also had a reputation as a libertine, which helped keep her guilt to a minimum. Gu Qingyan was very satisfied.

Until one day, Lu Xun inexplicably began appearing in Gu Qingyan's dreams every night.

Along with the blush-inducing scenes from her book.

*

Lu Xun had always been carefree and had never imagined there could be anything between him and the dignified, elegant Gu Qingyan.

Yet for some reason, from a certain day onward, he dreamed about her every night.

In those dreams, the two of them...

were pretty outrageous.

Lu Xun nearly started to believe that he really was the lustful lecher people claimed he was.

Until one day, he happened upon a book Gu Qingyan had dropped.

Lu Xun, casually flipping to the last few pages: ...That works too?

I don't believe it.

Many years later, when faced with his wife's demand that he work one day and rest six, Lu Xun would always think back to that distant afternoon when his wife had broadened his horizons.

Gu Qingyan gulped down a mouthful of tonic soup. "I'm not telling you!"

Coming soon: My New Love Is a World-Destroying Villain, but the Divine Artifact Recognizes Me as Its Master. Waiting for you in my author profile~

Qiu Xi and Cui Yan were a perfect couple in the cultivation world.

One was the head of the Tianlan Sect, the other the leader of the Immortal Alliance. They were devoted to each other, and both had cultivated to the verge of godhood.

At the height of his love for her, Cui Yan cut out half his own heart and forged it into a bonded divine artifact.

He named it the Qiuyan Sword and made Qiu Xi its second master.

But Qiu Xi was badly injured while saving a disciple in a secret realm, and couldn't bring the Qiuyan Sword back with her.

Later, the sword ended up in the Demon Realm and became the new Demon Lord's weapon. No matter how hard Cui Yan and Qiu Xi tried, it no longer recognized them as its masters.

Some people sneered that Cui Yan, as the leader of the Immortal Alliance, had used half his heart to make a convenient weapon for a Demon Lord capable of destroying the world, helping evil triumph.

This drove a wedge between the two.

Cui Yan began to resent how much Qiu Xi cared about the sect's disciples, how cold she was toward his fellow senior and junior disciples, how little she understood him, and how dull she was in bed.

Qiu Xi calmly proposed a separation.

Cui Yan refused. He hoped Qiu Xi would set aside her pride and be content to support him as a good wife.

As compensation, he was willing to ascend to godhood with her.

But Qiu Xi would rather damage her cultivation than forcibly destroy the marital pact etched into her bones and sever every tie between them.

Cui Yan was heartbroken and furious, convinced Qiu Xi would eventually pay for her arrogance.

When that day came, he would be willing to form a new pact with her and use his cultivation to heal her.

Everyone knew she was his wife. No one would dare covet her.

But he never imagined that her disciple, and his senior brother, had both been longing for this opportunity for a long time.

Later, even the Demon Lord began following Qiu Xi everywhere, keeping her company as she cultivated, cheering her up, and lounging around the Tianlan Sect day after day.

Sometimes he called her "wife" like a mortal. Other times, he called her... "Master."

It turned out his bonded sword had somehow cultivated a sword spirit, fallen into the Demon Realm, and become the Demon Lord.

It had returned to Qiu Xi's side and recognized only her as its master.

Core theme: Love the real them.
