My next book, Good-for-Nothing Demoness: A Chaotic Age, is a fantasy ensemble story. Its blurb is at the very end.
Blurb for this book:
Lan Sheng is the second imperial daughter of Rong, a kingdom where women hold power. Because her birth father is low-ranking, she is neglected and chosen as a bride for a political marriage. Sent to marry into Liang, a kingdom ruled by men, she loses all chance of inheriting the throne.
Unexpectedly, a strange demon wind strikes while she is traveling to the wedding. Lan Sheng is swept away and falls off a cliff.
When she wakes, Lan Sheng finds herself in a farmhouse with no memory of anything. The farmhouse belongs to Chu Yu, a handsome young hunter.
Lan Sheng falls for him at first sight, so she simply settles down with the young man.
Chu Yu: How about I become your husband?
Lan Sheng laughs to herself, but says nothing.
Chu Yu: I can do everything. I promise I'll take good care of you.
Lan Sheng is overjoyed inside, but keeps a blank look on her face.
Chu Yu: So, do you want me or not? If not, forget it.
Lan Sheng: All right, then. (Pretending to be reluctant.)
But it's all an act, an act!!!
In reality, this is a grand performance by two schemers showing off their acting skills.
You've got your stratagem, I've got my way over the wall. When human meets human and demon meets demon, let's see who wins in the end. Ha ha!
Blurb for Good-for-Nothing Demoness: A Chaotic Age:
Wei Yin is a princess of the demon realm, but she's a "good-for-nothing" with no spiritual roots and no talent for cultivation. The only thing she can do in this life is represent the demon realm in a political marriage with the immortal realm.
But her intended, Crown Prince Jinwu, thinks so little of her that he rejects her in public, making Wei Yin the laughingstock of the Six Realms.
To appease the demon realm, the Immortal Emperor subjects Jinwu to the Thunder Punishment and banishes him to the mortal realm to undergo three lifetimes of tribulation. Once the matter is settled, Wei Yin resolves to stop being a "good-for-nothing." She goes into seclusion to cultivate for decades, but makes no progress. In the end, she volunteers to go to the mortal realm and temper herself in hopes of reshaping her spiritual roots.
But even reincarnation in the mortal realm cannot spare her a political marriage. On her wedding night, she looks up at her husband and thinks he seems strangely familiar.
It's Crown Prince Jinwu, banished to the mortal realm. When he sees Wei Yin's face, he freezes too. Why is it her?
(An infatuated, later cunning and scheming crown prince of the immortal realm x a beautiful good-for-nothing at first, later a crazed princess of the demon realm)
In a past life, in the immortal realm
Star Lord Tianshu: Your Highness, what do you think of Princess Wei Yin?
Crown Prince Jinwu: I think she's a good-for-nothing, a pretty vase and nothing more.
Star Lord Tianshu: But she has the demon realm backing her. Maybe you could just make do with her. We can't afford to offend them...
Crown Prince Jinwu: I will never marry a good-for-nothing, a vase!
Star Lord Tianshu: Well...
In this life, in the mortal realm
Star Lord Tianshu: Your Highness, what do you think of Princess Wei Yin?
Crown Prince Jinwu: She really is the most beautiful woman in the Six Realms. Her spiritual roots are a little weak, but that's no big deal.
Star Lord Tianshu: But she has ulterior motives for marrying you. You still want to marry her?
Crown Prince Jinwu: It doesn't matter. Let her do as she pleases.
Star Lord Tianshu: Huh?
Theme: A foot of evil cannot prevail over a yard of righteousness.
