[I'm actually pretending to be a weak little palace maid x A cunning, cruel, wife-loving head eunuch]

Someone told Song Chunxi that the imperial palace was a place that devoured people, and without powerful backing, she wouldn't survive.

After much careful consideration, she chose her target:

Wei Xuan, the head eunuch of the Department of Punishments.

On a snowy night, Song Chunxi knelt in the snow and reached out to grab the hem of someone's robe. She looked up at him with dewy eyes. "Eunuch Wei, please take pity on me."

With a thousand shows of flattery and a hundred schemes, she finally caught his eye.

She didn't know that from the very beginning, she'd been prey in the sights of a demon.

*

Wei Xuan was a demon who had crawled back from hell. Everyone avoided him like the plague, but no one knew that this cruel, sinister man could be coaxed home by Song Chunxi with a single piece of malt candy.

Song Chunxi was Wei Xuan's moonlight when he was young. When he saw her again, a wicked desire stirred in his heart: he wanted to make that moon his own.

[Check out my upcoming novel, I Heard My Dead Husband Is Back. Here's the blurb:]

Cheng Jinhe has had two great strokes of luck in her life.

First, on her wedding day, her new husband hurried off to the battlefield that very night and died unexpectedly. As his widow, she tearfully inherited his entire fortune and became the richest person in Qinghe County.

Second, she fell for a tall, strapping, handsome hunter at first sight and took him in as a tenant. From then on, she enjoyed blissful nights in the warmth of her bedchamber, and life couldn't have been better.

As the warmth of the bedchamber lingered and their lovemaking came to an end, Cheng Jinhe nestled in the hunter's arms, in a fine mood. She casually teased him, "I do love the way you take care of me. Unlike my late husband, who was always so cold and stiff. He must have been no good at all."

The hunter fell silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took good care of the woman in his arms all over again.

Su Heng and Cheng Jinhe were betrothed by their parents. They first met on their wedding day, but after he hurriedly lifted her red bridal veil, he was summoned to the border.

The second time they met, Cheng Jinhe mistook him for a hunter. She flirtatiously lifted his chin and smiled seductively. "What a handsome gentleman. Are you married? Would you like to be my tenant? I'm very rich."

"Tenant" was a discreet way to refer to a kept lover.

Later, Su Heng remembered what he had heard and seen after returning. Everyone in Qinghe County said that Lady Cheng had loved her late husband deeply, and had once sworn never to marry again, choosing instead to remain a widow for him.

But as he looked at the brazen woman before him, Su Heng narrowed his eyes.

Months later, the imperial court decisively defeated the Xiongnu. The emperor was delighted and ennobled the commander, Su Heng, as the Marquis of Jingyuan. He was due to return home victorious in a few days.

When Cheng Jinhe heard the news, she turned pale with fright. She hurriedly packed up her gold, silver, and valuables that night, ready to flee. But she had barely made it a few steps out of the Su residence when someone grabbed her by the back of the neck. She looked up and saw a familiar face.

Su Heng looked at Cheng Jinhe with an unreadable smile. "Madam, where do you think you're running off to?"

[Upcoming novel 2: Trapped in a Birdcage. Here's the blurb:]

[Dark obsession + redemption + obsessive madman + imprisonment kink + marriage before love]

The thing Jiang Yu regrets most in her life is saving Gu Hanzhou, that mad dog.

She never thought that one moment of compassion would trap her, too.

The day she became Gu Hanzhou's caged bird, Jiang Yu stabbed him in the chest with her hairpin, but still couldn't get away from that mad dog.

The first time she ran away, she didn't even make it out of the city before she was tied up and dragged back to the Gu residence. Then she didn't get out of bed for half a month.

The second time she ran away, she ran into bandits who threatened to kidnap her and make her their leader's bride. Jiang Yu was bound and taken to their stronghold. When she looked up, the one seated above them was none other than that mad dog.

Gu Hanzhou gently brushed the loose hair by Jiang Yu's ear and whispered against it, "Little Fish, it's time to come home."

*

Ever since meeting Gu Hanzhou, Jiang Yu has felt as if she's been swept into one strange whirlpool after another.

Assassins from the capital, the witchcraft of Miaojiang, and a man in a cold stone coffin who looks exactly like Gu Hanzhou.

Terrified, she stumbled backward, only to bump into a bare chest. Looking at the smiling young man, she asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

Gu Hanzhou's gaze was tender and affectionate. "Who else would I be? I'm your husband, Gu Hanzhou."

*

Jiang Yu is both the greatest sorrow and the greatest joy of Gu Hanzhou's life. She's a ray of warmth shining into his cold, dark existence.

He wants to grasp that light, crazily and obsessively, at any cost. This time, he won't let go.

Gu Hanzhou is a mad dog, but he's Jiang Yu's dog alone.

Puppies love fish.

Hanzhou loves Jiang Yu.

PS: The male lead is an extremely dark, gloomy ghost of a man, with no morals or scruples!
