Blurb:

Xu Manchun, a beautiful young heiress who studies comics in Rome, has a landlord who looks just like a heavenly handsome older cousin.

But there's something unusual about this landlord. In just a few days, he's appeared in a string of different roles: a brilliant scientist, an Italian army general, a university professor, a world-class artist...

What's more, her cousin tells her that the landlord's family name is Ying, the same Ying as Qin Shi Huang's.

Her heavenly handsome cousin says, "You must have a lot of questions. Write them all on a card, and I can answer them at once."

The comic-loving girl nods enthusiastically. After spending half the day at school thinking it over, she writes down all her questions and hands the card to her landlord when she gets home.

A few minutes later...

Her heavenly handsome cousin looks up and reads the questions aloud. "Where are you most sensitive? Your tongue, ears, neck, stomach, or...? How many kinds of kisses do you know? What's your favorite... Are you serious? You want to know all this?"

The comic-loving girl covers her face. Someone switched the cards.

"Are you teasing me?" Her heavenly handsome cousin raises an eyebrow, sounding quite intrigued.

The comic-loving girl wishes the floor would swallow her up, so she turns and runs.

But she's in her landlord's home. Where can she run to...?

"I don't know how to be in love with someone!"

"I'll teach you. A custom-made private lesson."

Currently serializing the historical romance The Wise Emperor and His Little Enchantress. Blurb:

This is a story about a devoted emperor and a clever beauty.

When she was young, Jiamin, a noble girl from Jinling, was kidnapped by bandits. Fortunately, she met a remarkably capable young man from Luoyang, who traveled a thousand miles to escort her home.

Back then, Zhao Kuangyin was her savior. All she wanted was for Brother Zhao to keep doting on his little sister. She even asked him whether he'd stop paying attention to her and only care for his wife once he got married.

Zhao Kuangyin replied, "Never! Listen, Jiamin. No matter how much time passes, Brother Zhao will never love anyone more than he loves you!"

By the time she was a young woman, her beauty was unmatched, and when they met again, the two were already engaged. But although Zhao Kuangyin served as a general in the Northern Dynasty, he could not withstand the power of the prince of Jiangnan and the schemes of Jiamin's family. With no other choice, he personally delivered her dowry, which had once been his betrothal gifts, and sent her off to marry another man.

At twenty-five, the Jiangnan kingdom fell, and Jiamin was taken north as a captive. Her Brother Zhao had been waiting for her for years, now seated high upon his throne in the golden palace. But a captive was nothing more than the spoils of war. She was no longer the innocent, lively girl she had once been, but a frightened woman, trembling like a bird startled by the bowstring.

Zhao Kuangyin's heart ached for her. All these years, he had never let go of his love for her, nor had he forgotten the promise he made.

To love someone for a day or two is to be smitten by their looks. To love them for a year or two is to be unable to control your feelings. To love them for ten or eight years is to share a deep, unwavering devotion. But to love them for a lifetime is to remain true until the end.

And for every day he lived thereafter, he truly did cherish the girl who held his heart, for the rest of her life.
