Pear Blossoms Fall from the Branches Everywhere (Reborn)

| I've started a marriage-first, love-later novel on my homepage. Please add it to your reading list. |

Blurb:

Cen Ze would always remember the first time they were intimate: the shape of her lips, their fragrant taste, her final breath. It all left him dazed and trembling.

When her enemy drugged her, he used his hand to ease her suffering.

When she sought revenge, he cleaned up after her.

He waited for her to tear away that thin veil between them.

Instead, she returned his token of affection and earnestly advised him, "General, you and I will soon be strangers. The best outcome is to forget everything and pretend we never knew each other."

How could Cen Ze let her have her way? He kidnapped Xu Li and hid her in a water dungeon, tormenting her day after day as he whispered against her ear, "Since you've already seduced me, Li'er, you're mine in life. Even in death, I'll cling to you. You'll never escape me, not in three lifetimes. We'll be husband and wife in every life."

Note: Fictional setting. The female lead falls in love late. At first, she loves only herself, and doesn't fall for the male lead until close to the ending. After she's reborn, they're both virgins. Were they both virgins in their previous lives? The male lead's status is unclear. Perhaps he was a virgin too, but he was married. I'll leave it to readers to decide. The story opens with her being reborn, and has a happy ending after that.

I often revise my blurbs. I'm always learning how to write a good introduction.

The female lead tortures the male lead, and is herself tormented by the world, those in power, and her enemies.

She will succeed in getting revenge. Whether it's satisfying is for you to decide.

Recommending my upcoming novels. If you're interested, please add them to your reading lists. Thank you all.

Upcoming novel 1: Rock the Bed, Make the Demon Transform.

A princess of the world above x a demon prince trapped in a well below.

There's one world above ground and another beneath it. The two are connected by a dry well.

Ning Xuanxue is the daughter of the empress of the Ning Dynasty. For sixteen years, her biggest worry has been how to enter the legendary underground demon kingdom and, as in the unofficial history, take the demon prince's first night.

Demon Prince Gu Jue doesn't have the problem of going berserk at the full moon, as the storybooks say. But he does have the problem of recognizing the person who takes his first night as his master.

The moment Ning Xuanxue first saw that unofficial history, every part of her body cried out: she wanted Gu Jue to be her dog.

He would go where she pointed, sniff where she pointed, and never disobey. Even if she kicked him, he could only whimper with red-rimmed eyes and say, "It hurts."

*

Gu Jue had stayed in the damp darkness for so long that he'd grown irritable and quick-tempered. Then one day, after a hundred years, a fearless human sneaked into the underground world.

To relieve his boredom, Gu Jue treated the human woman, who called herself King Xuan, like a pet. He fed her, took her for walks, and told her to climb into his bed.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, beneath the full moon, after a night of passion, Ning Xuanxue dropped her act and looked down at the demon dog. "Go, peel a grape for your crown princess."

Gu Jue frowned and kicked her off the bed, then said elegantly, "Seems I've been far too kind and spoiled you."

Ning Xuanxue cursed, "That unofficial history lied to me!" Then she fled without a trace.

/"When we meet again, our nations will be at war. One of us will die by the other's hand."

After all, humans and demons are destined for different paths, and those without love or tenderness don't deserve to be loved or treated kindly./

Theme: No matter what happens, keep loving yourself
