[My first practice novel. Please be kind~]
[New novel now available] After Marrying My Nemesis: childhood friends and sworn enemies, marriage first and love later. A sly, foxlike young general x a beautiful wolf-rabbit princess. Please add it to your library! I'll keep improving!!
Various factions from the capital infiltrate Lingzhou in search of the Imperial Preceptor's chosen disciple, hoping to recruit them and divine the Mandate of Heaven.
Through someone else's divination, Lin Luanwei learns that she may be in danger. The best way to get out of it is to find a stronger power to shelter her, adapt to the times, and keep out of sight.
So she sets her sights on the First Prince, Zhou Jinghe, whom she has already used twice. He is powerful and high-ranking, dazzlingly handsome, and renowned throughout the realm. He is the natural candidate for crown prince.
Zhou Jinghe has always detested divination. He is usually sharp-tongued and sarcastic toward her, keeping his distance. Yet he indulges her borrowed authority, insisting that her readings are like clouds parting to reveal the truth, bringing everything into sharp focus.
Feeling guilty, Lin Luanwei decides to help him ascend the throne. She never expects that he is using her, too.
Wine cups clink, and everyone drinks themselves into a stupor. Only he remains perfectly clearheaded. Someone asks him, "Your Highness has never liked divination. Why keep that little charlatan by your side? Have you fallen for her?"
The man's fingertip slowly traces the rim of his wine cup. At the question, he gives a faint smile and glances over indifferently. "We're using each other. What does that have to do with love?"
Later...
At a palace banquet, a beauty with skin like ice and jade, her face like a precious jewel, stands amid the swirling autumn mist. Smiling, she accepts invitations from the noble scions, never once letting her gaze linger on the man.
The moon sinks, and crows cry as the night spills into the palace chamber.
Zhou Jinghe presses his warm lips to the hollow beside Lin Luanwei's neck, his hands locked around her slender waist. His gaze darkens as he looks at the red marks on her back, then he lays a tender kiss there and whispers a plea: "May I touch you here?"
Reading Guide:
1. A fictional setting. Divination is based on some real principles, but most of it follows invented rules that may be adjusted to fit the plot. Don't overanalyze it; it has no scholarly value!
2. The political intrigue is light, more kindergarten than court politics. The romance is all about pushing and pulling, and both plot and romance matter equally.
3. One-on-one, both leads are virgins. The male lead will pursue her later, and there will also be some old-fashioned tropes that are "cheesy but reassuring."

[Launching July 17! New and old friends, you're welcome to drop by!]
July 17 launch: sly, foxlike young general x beautiful wolf-rabbit princess
Rong Jinyao is as beautiful as an immortal and gentle and easygoing by nature, yet she is the least favored by the emperor. So when news of a political marriage reaches the palace, while her sisters rush into their father's arms in tears, she simply strokes the cat in her lap in silence and walks away.
Not long after, the emperor unexpectedly betroths Rong Jinyao to the dream man of every noble girl in the capital. The two grew up together, and by all rights they should be a match made in heaven.
But in the eyes of others, they are natural enemies, completely unsuited to each other.
On the day the imperial decree of betrothal is finalized, Rong Jinyao lets out a rare sigh of relief.
As she is wondering whether General Chu is really her best option, the young man is already perched in a tree outside her bedchamber, a mocking look in his eyes. "I hear that I, Chu, am devoted to the princess and dream of marrying her. We've known each other for so long. How did I not know... that the princess was prone to teenage crushes?"
*
Chu Yi comes from a distinguished family and became a general while still young. He has always been calculating and devious, but he is the one who gets trapped when it comes to marriage.
He tries to scheme his way out of the betrothal, but no matter how difficult he makes things, Rong Jinyao remains unmoved. Even his father earnestly urges him to treat Rong Jinyao more gently.
Chu Yi thinks, If one moment of kindness buys me some peace and quiet, it's worth it. If I'm in a good mood, I can even show her a little affection.
Only when he discovers that Rong Jinyao arranged the betrothal long ago to avoid a political marriage does he realize that everyone has misjudged her.
She is no gentle, delicate little rabbit. She is a wolf who can eat people.
But that's all right. After all, this fox is best at laying traps.
[Bonus Scene]
One day after their wedding, the two discuss their activities in bed.
Rong Jinyao, still wanting more, pulls Chu Yi over to look at an erotic painting and says scornfully, "Chu Zizhan, learning never ends. You can't be this delicate."
The young general, accused of being inadequate, instantly turns cold. "Why don't you find out for yourself how well I've learned?"
Reading Guide:
1. A long-laid plan, and the willing fall for it. A bittersweet, push-and-pull romance.
2. Childhood friends and sworn enemies, marriage first and love later, with the male lead falling hard and pursuing his wife during the marriage.
3. One-on-one, both leads are virgins. Neither has to be perfect.
4. The setting is very, very fictional! Mountains of original worldbuilding! Don't overanalyze it!
Theme: Equality first, then love.
Congratulations on finishing Chenchen!!! 🎉💪 This article can be said to have been written chapter by chapter while watching Chen Chen update it chapter by chapter. When I clicked in, it was because of my earthy taste that I chased my wife hzc hahahahahahaha Then I took a closer look and found that the word "divination" runs through the whole text. I thought it was very interesting, so I slowly started my daily update routine 🧋 🧋 In fact, I really liked this article when I was on the Lingzhou line. It portrayed Aluan very vividly, smart and lively, and had his own little ideas. A lonely girl disguised herself as a man to do fortune-telling for others to start her own wandering. Who would have thought that she would meet Zhou Gou as soon as she arrived in Lingzhou. The two of them wanted to take advantage of each other, and their bond began~ In the Lingzhou chapter, whether it's Aluan's prediction of the future or her bold expression of her love for Zhou Gou, she only expresses herself bravely and passionately in the moment. Zhou Gou was "relegated" to Lingzhou. It can be said that he continues to recuperate. He knows that he will eventually return to the capital, so he keeps his heart. Although he has a little liking for Aluan, this love cannot support him to return to the capital and take that position. Therefore, he is more interested in using Aluan than liking Aluan. After starting the capital chapter, I don't know if the line of seeking power is mixed in. I feel that it is not as vivid as the Lingzhou chapter. There is a little less feeling, whether it is their emotional line or Aluan's career line [Let me be healthy] [Let me be healthy] But this is our first book, Take Your Time in the Morning, and it's already great!!! Will this article be overhauled in the morning to make it more complete? Or should I just start the extra chapter and add what I didn't explain before and start a new article~ Looking forward to the follow-up and Chenchen's new articles~ Come on Chenchen~[spread flowers][spread flowers]
In the Capital Chapter, I feel that the heroine has been weakened a lot. Why should the heroine help Miss Cheng when she can't protect herself? The heroine's only ability now is fortune telling. Knowing that she has a blood feud, she doesn't develop and strengthen herself but puts herself in trouble again and again. Will she have to rely on a superior person like the hero to save her every time in the future? After all, I now have a position as a national advisor. I want to see the heroine's career develop, instead of vilifying various other female characters to compete for the male lead. What is a good thing about a male lead? In order to win over the father of the two female partners, he did not take the initiative and made it clear that he would not reject them and give them hope. We can highlight the truth, kindness and beauty of the heroine, for example, she has the world in mind, she saves lives and heals the wounded. Why do we have to be so rigid and vilify the two female supporting characters to highlight it? Do the daughters of the prime minister and the queen really want to compete for men all day long? At first, I had some expectations for Wei Xiu'er, the female supporting character, but later I found out that she is just a tool to promote the love between the male and female protagonists. The only way to deal with a love rival is to destroy someone's innocence. The other Miss He is the standard of the ancient coquettish and vicious female supporting role.
Aluan, aluan, fortune teller, Zhou dog, fortune teller (and make further use of it) Maybe Zhou Gou is slightly better than Aluan Zhou Gou, now you have no credibility in front of Aluan, just wait for you to go crazy, wait for you to cry!!! If I don't make you cry, I won't call you Aluan!!! Now you are so intimate with Aluan. Aluan can't even hide. It's not like before. In the past, Aluan chased you and expressed his feelings directly and boldly.
It was updated tonight!!! Zhou Gou, give me back the cute and lively Aluan!!! Although the cold beauty Aluan is also very good now, you can't even get it!!! Unexpectedly, Aluan's master ended up... Wuwuwu, Zhou Gou, you are really guilty, not only because of the master, but also because of the last rain, Aluan is now so afraid of the cold. I wonder if Zhou Gou is very beautiful now that he is the crown prince and has his "beloved wife" by his side. I wonder if Zhou Gou will regret treating Aluan like that. No, it is better not to think about Aluan. He is not worthy!!! And it has been a year. If Zhou Gou has not gotten married, how can he stop his father? Anyway, Zhou Gou is not clean!!! Ah Luan is great!!! That's it. I don't remember what the prince looks like. It's so cool. Hahahahahaha. Zhou Gou, don't cry then!!!
It's heart-wrenching and painful. Author, please be gentle. You can use a little more force when waiting for the male protagonist who abuses the dog!
Finally waited for the update!!! Wow, this chapter makes me feel so uncomfortable!!! Zhou Gou this this dog man!!! Just ascend the throne and die alone!!! I don't want to see your difficulties, whether it's because you're afraid that the people around you will hurt Aluan or because you're seeking power, I don't want to see it!!! Just stay alone on the throne and die alone!!! "His Highness said that he has no appointment with the disciples of the Imperial Master tonight, so you are not allowed to enter the mansion." Bian Haohao, this means that Aluan is denied entry into your mansion. From now on, you will not even be able to enter Aluan's gate!!! "I thought before that if she was deeply in love with me..." Zhou Gou said this very well, very good, very good. I'll say it again ten thousand times. Don't regret it in the future!!! Wuwuwu, I suddenly wanted to let them go. I had already thought about it. Let Zhou Gou die alone on the throne, sitting on the steps of the throne, lonely, regretful, and missing Aluan, while Aluan was browsing the great rivers and mountains, and telling people's fortunes from time to time. Wuwuwu, that's it. "The daughter of the common people pays homage to His Highness." I thought of what Master Aluan said about her and Brother Zhou's identities. What exactly is Aluan's identity?!! Let's see Brother Zhou salute like this in front of Aluan from now on. The two of them have nothing to do with each other. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there are so many original words that I don't want to type. Let's take a look at the injuries and Aluan's master. She knew that Aluan had begged him for her master. It can be understood that because the other two princes were present, Brother Zhou asked him to say those words in front of everyone in order to protect Aluan. But it's still so sad!!! A Luan almost regarded Zhou Gou as the only one because currently only Brother Zhou had the right to save her master. As a result, he was given a slap on the head. Zhou Gou was really cruel~ Good, very good. Not only has he established a crown prince but also a crown princess. Brother Zhou's "life is complete". Do I need to express double congratulations to Zhou Gou? Ah Luan's senior brother is the male partner, right? It seems pretty good so far, hahahahahahahaha The next chapter opens the capital chapter. We look forward to our Aluan "killing everyone"!!! Let Zhou Gou regret it!!! Ps: Will Chenchen update tonight~ Hahahahahahaha I'm a little greedy dpq!!! 😚😚
Finished punching in! I wish you always happiness
It was past one o'clock in the morning, and I shed tears while reading this article. So, your slap is a good one~
I finally finished reading it in my spare time. In these days of catching up on updates, it really brings me too many feelings. As soon as I finish reading one update, I look forward to the next one. It's really exciting.
Hahahahahaha Congratulations to Zhou Gou for drinking some soup. It's not easy. It's not easy. It's really not easy 🧋 🧋 Ah Luan should be a little moved. Coupled with Zhou Gou's last words, Ah Luan has no worries at all, so he can let go of his heart and accept Brother Zhou again. Love is not to imprison but to set her free. Our Zhou Gou is not just letting Al Luan free. We can hold Al Luan tightly with possessiveness~
