Spoiling the Fallen Young Lady

Jiang Huai was a peasant girl from Zhao Family Village who made her living hunting. She enjoyed pairing women together, but unfortunately, her surname wasn't Zhao, so the villagers shunned her at every turn. She was already in her twenties and still unmarried. Then one day, while selling game in town, she saw a girl locked in a cage, her clothes in tatters, her body bruised, and her gaze timid and vulnerable.

Whether it was the girl's beauty that drew her in or the fear in her eyes that stirred her compassion, Jiang Huai couldn't help bringing out most of the money she had and buying her.

The girl came from a wealthy family and was delicate and spoiled. At first, she was too timid to speak to Jiang Huai, but as time went by, she started making all kinds of demands. She wanted fish today, chicken tomorrow, and couldn't cook a thing! Jiang Huai grumbled about regretting marrying such a pampered wife, all while scaling fish, plucking chickens, boiling water, and making the fish soup and chicken soup the young girl loved.

Lin Wanhe was the daughter of an official. Her father had been framed and imprisoned, and her family exiled. She, too, had been sold to a trafficker. She thought she would be mired in the mud forever, with no way out, but then a wonderful woman bought her and said she would marry her.

The woman was always fierce and acted as if she disliked Lin Wanhe, but she held her close during thunderstorms and soothed her fears. She brought her the most expensive pastries in town. Though she was only a farmer, she gave Lin Wanhe everything she had. All the women in the village envied Lin Wanhe, and she herself was overjoyed.

But one day, her father's name was cleared, and her stepmother sent someone to find her. Her wife said she would send her back to live a better life. Terrified, she clung to her wife's arm and begged her not to send her away. She promised she would stop getting jealous and acting spoiled. She didn't want a better life. She wanted to be with the one she loved, and to be protected in her arms.

After all... a mother who could push her own daughter forward to take the fall for her legitimate daughter could never truly love her, could she?

Fierce farmer, pursuer × pampered young lady, pursued

My next novel, "I, Your Humble Subject, Cherish the Princess", is now open for preorders.

To secure her family's position as the foremost noble house and advance her career, Jiang Ruotang married the Princess Duanhui, formerly a hostage in an enemy state, recently returned home, and the subject of countless tales of romance.

The princess was stunningly beautiful, with skin like ice and bones like jade, as lovely as a celestial being. Yet she was aloof by nature and disliked talking to people.

After hearing from others about the princess's temperament, Jiang Ruotang kept mostly silent after bringing her home and treated her with polite respect. Later, the princess would inexplicably lose her temper, seeming to despise Jiang Ruotang. Afraid of continuing to upset her, Jiang Ruotang gradually stopped visiting the rear courtyard and simply cared for her there in the lap of luxury.

Days passed. Jiang Ruotang's reputation at court grew, her rank rose, and she became so busy she could barely catch her breath. One day, she even forgot the princess's birthday, only remembering when she returned home at midnight.

The night was cold. Afraid of disturbing the princess's sleep, she thought she could bring her a birthday gift the next day. But all she found was a sky filled with fire. The princess's courtyard was burning...

Only after his wife's death did Jiang Ruotang learn from the maid who had served her that the princess, whom she thought "disliked and resented" her, had longed for her visits every day. Even a casual message passed along by a servant, "It's been cold lately, remember to dress warmly," could make the princess happy for ages. Jiang Ruotang felt dazed, as if she had missed something.

Even as she lay dying, the princess had wondered, If she loves me, why doesn't she say so?

Jiang Ruotang died in confusion, only to open her eyes again. She had been reborn several months earlier, on the day before her wife died, after she had gone months without setting foot in the rear courtyard.

This time, she turned down all her official duties. Her crimson robes fluttering, she hurried from the front courtyard to the rear. From afar, she glimpsed a slender woman radiating dejection, repeatedly craning her neck to look outside, as if waiting for someone to come home.

Both leads are sexually exclusive, a healing romance where the pursuer saves the pursued.
