[Blurb One]
Deep in Qingcheng Mountain stands the White Cloud Temple, a dilapidated Taoist sanctuary where four Taoist priests live.
One is over seventy, one is so frail a gust of wind could topple him, one is still a child, and the last is Zhu Ziyuan.
With thin porridge that never fills her stomach, elders to care for and children to feed, Zhu Ziyuan, a modern carpenter who transmigrated here, has no choice but to rely on her woodworking skills, disguise herself as a man, and go down the mountain to earn money for food and firewood.
Who could have guessed that after she came down the mountain, her redesigned bows and crossbows would catch the eye of Prince Beixuan, Xiao Wuyan, who eagerly invited her to serve in his household as chief engineer?
It looks like an easy, prestigious job, but Prince Beixuan is no ordinary man! He is bound to rebel sooner or later! If she follows him, she might accidentally become a traitor too, and end up with countless corpses in her wake!
She could only politely decline. But the seemingly refined and dazzling Prince Beixuan raised his phoenix eyes, his expression chilling and indifferent. With a faint smile, he said, "If the Daoist priest does not wish to serve me, I naturally will not force you."
He agreed to let her leave, but secretly harbored murderous intent.
Zhu Ziyuan had no choice. To protect the temple, she could only accept the position.
After witnessing Prince Beixuan stained with blood, like a demon from hell, she tried every way she could to escape his grasp.
At last, one day, she found her chance. Zhu Ziyuan climbed over the wall under cover of night, only to find the extraordinarily handsome Prince Beixuan already waiting outside the manor on horseback.
"It's dark and windy tonight, Ziyuan. Where do you think you're going?"
Her escape failed, and instead she moved into Prince Beixuan's bedchamber, sharing his room, meals, and bed day and night.
Not only that, through a twist of fate, they were both infected with the Passionflower Curse, and her secret identity was exposed completely!
"Ziyuan, I will be your blade and rid this world of its vermin."
[Blurb Two]
Amid the flames of war in the north, the prince of the northern frontier, who had the blood of another people in his veins, commanded thousands of troops alone and slew countless bandits.
He helped the late emperor conquer the realm and was granted the rare honor of entering court without bowing, being addressed by name during ceremonial praise, and carrying a sword in the imperial court.
This Prince Beixuan, with his formidable troops and peerless beauty, was known for his unpredictable temper and ruthless killings. He seemed to have no heart and no interest in love, and had never taken a wife or concubine.
But ever since the prince personally appointed a Daoist priest to serve in his household, the lights in Changchun Hall stayed on all night. He summoned the new chief engineer every night and even shared a bed with them.
…
That chief engineer designed firearms and modified armor, established trade between the empire and its vassal states, and helped Tianque flourish as a commercial hub. But then it was revealed that she was a woman!
Later, Prince Beixuan seized the throne, and all the court officials vehemently opposed appointing a woman as chancellor.
He ignored them, laughed scornfully, rolled up his dragon robe embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons, and personally offered the supreme phoenix seal to Zhu Ziyuan.
"She is the chancellor of the realm, and also my wife. The empire is mine, and hers as well."
New Novel: The Duchess's Sickly Beast Hound
Inhuman male lead | Older woman and younger man | Monster romance | Obsessive attachment | He would become a slave for love
Through her victories hunting magical beasts, Hailisi became the only woman ever granted the title of duchess by the king. She was unstoppable, but she was also half human and half magical beast. When she entered her heat, the magical-beast blood in her body would trigger an intense rut, making it difficult for her to control herself.
One day, she casually rescued a blond, blue-eyed slave from a stampede in the arena. He was strikingly handsome and had been abused for a long time.
She taught him to read and swordsmanship, trained him to join the army, and made him an excellent soldier.
But later, the boy wore suggestive clothes, kissed the arch of her foot, and tempted her, saying, "I will serve you well. You can treat me like a male courtesan from a brothel and do whatever you want with me."
She gave the boy a cold look and said without mercy, "I'm not interested in you."
Then she turned and ordered someone to send him to a suitable household. She never imagined she was pushing him into an abyss with her own hands.
Five years later, a paladin named Shaliye appeared. Kind and gentle, he was beloved by everyone.
He always seemed to appear by chance, time and again, just when Hailisi needed him most, giving her what she needed while making no effort to hide the way he followed her with his eyes.
He was handsome and alluring, like a moth orchid flourishing in a damp swamp, tempting people to venture closer. When Hailisi drew near him, she also discovered that he could soothe the restlessness brought on by her heat.
But she knew Shaliye was deliberately trying to seduce her. She wouldn't fall for it so easily.
Until one day, Hailisi saw the princess professing her love to Shaliye. Only then did Hailisi feel truly displeased. He certainly had a talent for seduction, but weren't there too many people he was trying to seduce?
So Hailisi used her beast tail to tease him and sneered, "If you want to seduce me, you should see it through."
She was very pleased with his obedience and with his performance in bed.
Only later did she realize she had still been deceived.
Behind that damp, feverish gaze lay not only passionate love, but also the watchfulness of a poisonous snake.
Those perfect smiles he wore were nothing but a disguise he had practiced in front of a mirror day and night.
He tore through his beautiful human skin, revealing four blood-soaked wings and slender feelers, shedding his half-human form to become an entirely new, unknown magical beast: a "monster."
What he wanted was to drag everyone into hell.
"I am yours, but you can only belong to me."
PS:
The male lead is sexually inexperienced! He is very weak at first and has difficulty understanding emotions. He doesn't understand human feelings, but will grow stronger later. He is a fake-sunny puppy type who pretends to be the "perfect human," but he will always be the female lead's dog. The female lead is a powerful, icy beauty who likes to be in control.
The early chapters mainly follow the male lead's perspective, and the later chapters mainly follow the female lead's.
Theme: May the world know no more war
