【Power plays and conquest; the love story of parents; a romance between people over thirty】
◆A beautiful woman who transmigrates x a domineering traditional patriarch◆
After Yu Ci accidentally hit her head, she suddenly remembered that she came from the modern world a thousand years in the future. Before she could make sense of everything that had happened over the years, a composed-looking little girl came up to her and said
“Mother, we have to run! Uncle will soon bring the clan elders to force you to marry him!”
Fu You’en had two regrets in her previous life:
First, she’d trusted the wrong man, believing her childhood sweetheart’s vows of eternal love, only to die miserably in a battle for power in the household.
Second, after her father passed away, she failed to stop her uncle from forcing her mother into marriage. Later, to advance her own career, she offered her mother up to him.
From then on, her mother was passed from one man’s bed to another, reduced to a caged songbird for the powerful and influential elites of the capital, who could turn the world upside down with a flick of their hands.
There was still time to change everything! She had to leave this city, where all their misfortunes began, with her mother at once.
The day Yu Ci fled the city with her daughter, she thought they would finally be free to go wherever they pleased. But an unfortunate misunderstanding brought her into contact with a man who was difficult in every way.
He was forceful, controlling, and full of tricks. She had a hard time dealing with him. At first, Yu Ci thought she was terribly unlucky, but later she realized that might not be entirely true.
At least he really could fight, and he knew how to use his power to crush people.
The capital’s powerful men who appeared out of nowhere, claiming to love her but giving her the creeps, all met their match at his hands.
Reader’s guide:
1. One-to-one pairing in the present timeline. Not a multiple-love-interest story.
2. All the men who were involved with the mother in her previous life are obsessive and unhinged. They differ only in degree. A tragic love story, not all the men are reborn.
3. The setting is modeled on the Tang dynasty.

A preview of my upcoming novel: The Adopted Younger Sister
Qiao Mu was entangled for many years with an obsessive man. At first, she was the wife of Wei’s Chief Inspector, while he was Xia’s powerful Commander-in-Chief.
She ran, he pursued; he forced her, she fought back.
They remained entangled from the days when Wei still existed through its defeat and destruction. Their affair began less than a hundred days after Qiao Mu was widowed and continued until her daughter was nearly of age...
After going to extraordinary lengths to finally get rid of Jiang Nanxiao, Qiao Mu had barely begun to relax when, in a cruel twist of fate, she caught a chill.
When she woke after a serious illness, Qiao Mu was shocked to discover that she was not only in a different place but had become someone else. That person was none other than Jiang Nanxiao’s widowed adopted younger sister, who lived far away in the Xia capital and had gone back to her birth family.
Even more terrifying, Qiao Mu realized that her new body was slowly starting to resemble her original one.
Theme: Even in life and death, we make our vows to one another
