The synopsis for my next novel, "The Love and Scheming Game," is below. Please add it to your collection!

Synopsis:

Pei Xu had lived alone for many years and wanted only to spend the rest of his life watching over the grave of his childhood sweetheart.

But a merchant woman named Shen Tang treated him with tender care, following him around every day and insisting that they were made for each other.

Pei Xu disliked how noisy and persistent she was, so he found her a live-in son-in-law and coldly sent her away.

On the day of Shen Tang's wedding, the Pei residence finally grew quiet, though the sounds of celebration outside the city would not fade.

Unable to bear the disturbance, Pei Xu pulled the covers over his head and went to sleep.

In his dream, Shen Tang, dressed in bridal finery, pushed him down beneath the wedding curtains and murmured sweet nothings in his arms. "The general and I are truly made for each other..."

Pei Xu woke with a start, but the woman's presence had already filled the entire residence, her coquettish charms impossible to forget.

Ashamed and tormented, he rode to his childhood sweetheart's grave to beg forgiveness.

On the way, he encountered Shen Tang entering the bridal chamber hand in hand with her live-in husband.

A ruby ring adorned her slender fingers. It was the very token of love Pei Xu had given his childhood sweetheart when he was young...

Shen Tang wanted to open up trade routes and become the richest person in Xizhou, but Pei Xu, who controlled the borderlands, was a cold-faced tyrant.

She had no choice but to grovel and flatter him, hoping to make him accept the idea that "government and merchants working together are a match made in heaven."

Unexpectedly, the tyrant not only opened a trade route, but also chose a live-in husband for her.

Overjoyed, Shen Tang happily welcomed her young husband into her home.

On their wedding night, she lifted the bridal veil, only to find the cold-faced tyrant's face staring back at her.

Pei Xu met Shen Tang's wide, almond-shaped eyes. A flush appeared on his face. "I think you and I really are made for each other."

Shen Tang: ???

So... where's my gentle, sweet, handsome, sensible little husband?

Did you eat him?

Synopsis for "Plucking the Blossom".

Synopsis:

When Xue Yu, the daughter of a convicted official, was on the verge of being forced into prostitution, she was rescued by Wei Yan, the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and brought back to his household.

Wei Yan was the foremost young nobleman of his generation, a distant, otherworldly man, yet he fell for Xue Yu at first sight.

From then on, he often held her hand in front of his parents and elder brother, showering her with tender words.

Amid the gossip, he kissed her brow and promised to give her a wedding procession stretching ten miles.

Thanks to Wei Yan's affection, Xue Yu's life in the duke's household went smoothly.

The only problem was that whenever Wei Yan flirted with her in the moonlight among the flowers, just as she was overcome with desire, she would be spotted by Wei Zhan, the eldest son of the Wei family.

Wei Zhan had served in the army. His bloodshot eyes fixed on Xue Yu like a caged beast.

Every time, Xue Yu was so frightened that she burrowed into Wei Yan's arms and clung to him.

Until the night of her wedding. As passion began to stir beneath the wedding curtains, Wei Zhan burst in, pulled Xue Yu behind him, and swung his sword at Wei Yan.

Wei Yan didn't dodge or flinch. He watched the blood spreading over his shoulder with casual interest. "Big Brother, you're bullying me so badly that my wife will feel sorry for me!"

Xue Yu really did feel sorry for him. In her panic, she struck Wei Zhan in the back with a golden hairpin.

Wei Yan had once told her that Wei Zhan suffered from an old injury, and if he overstepped, she could attack his weak spot.

But when Wei Zhan fell into a pool of blood, writhing in pain,

Xue Yu suddenly remembered

that she and Wei Zhan had once pledged themselves to each other,

and that Wei Zhan had once sheltered her beneath his body, taking an arrow through the heart in her place...

*

Wei Yan had casually rescued the amnesiac Xue Yu from a pleasure boat, only to discover that she was the person his elder brother had protected at the cost of his life.

At first, Wei Yan was merely curious: if he and Xue Yu lived together as husband and wife, what would his hypocritical elder brother do?

Until the night when the woman who should have run to him without hesitation turned and embraced the man lying in a pool of blood.

All that remained in Wei Yan's eyes was an overwhelming desire to possess her...
