Upcoming stories

The Crescent Moon Residence

Synopsis:

When Qiao Yunying first met Second Master Lu, Lu Yi, she thought he was handsome, tall, and striking, and couldn't help taking a second look.

The very next moment, he killed the commander of the Eastern City Guards with a single sword thrust to the throat, right in the street.

She thought that someone so ruthless and lawless was surely headed for prison.

The next day, however, she heard that the emperor had not punished him at all. Instead, he had invented a crime to pin on the murdered commander.

The Qiao, Lu, and He families had intermarried for generations. Second Master Lu had been betrothed to Third Miss He since childhood, but she died of illness the year she came of age. Rumors spread around the capital that Second Master Lu was born under an unlucky star.

Though his fate was said to be ill-starred, Second Master Lu was deeply favored by the emperor. Old Master Qiao wanted to marry a Qiao daughter to him, and the match fell to Qiao Yunying only because her father, Fourth Master Qiao, was meek and easy to manipulate.

After marrying into the Lu family, Qiao Yunying gradually discovered that Second Master Lu was not as violent and terrifying as the rumors claimed. On the contrary, he was one of the finest husbands in the world.

There was just one thing: Second Master Lu would disappear for several days at the end of every month for no apparent reason.

This seemingly gentle, considerate husband appeared to be hiding a secret...

A gentle, clever noblewoman x a cold, ruthless nobleman, an arranged marriage that becomes love.

Love on a Tropical Island

Synopsis:

On Zhang Yiran's 415th day working at a small restaurant, Ling Yuan walked in and ordered fried rice noodles. As he paid, he casually asked, “What time do you get off?”

That was when Zhang Yiran recognized him.

The first time they met, she had smashed a beer bottle and pointed it at a man who owed her money and refused to pay. Everyone thought a slender woman like her wouldn't really dare to use it.

Only he, sitting off to one side, had said casually, “It's only five thousand yuan. Pay her back. Look at her eyes, she could kill you.”

Since he'd once helped her collect a debt, she had an expensive dinner with him after work. For dessert, he asked, “Have you ever thought about getting married? I could marry you.”

Zhang Yiran thought the rich young man was bored and teasing her. She calmly replied, “I owe nearly a million yuan.”

“A husband's responsible for his wife's debts.”

Because of that, Zhang Yiran didn't marry Ling Yuan, but she did move in with him.

Three years later, Zhang Yiran was packing her suitcase to leave when Ling Yuan, lounging on the sofa, said coolly, “You haven't paid off what you owe me yet.”

Five years later, after paying off her debt, Zhang Yiran packed her suitcase to leave again. He grabbed her and said, “Zhang Yiran, if you don't marry me soon, I'll be old.”

A down-on-her-luck, guarded woman x a calculating man, living together before falling in love, five years of drawn-out tension, a melodramatic yet delicious love story.
