Blurb for upcoming novel Becoming His Late White Moonlight:

Jiang Yushi was one of the few mortals to ascend to immortality by cultivating the Ruthless Dao.

After ascending, he received a task from his direct superior: descend to the mortal realm and trip up Lord Lin, who was undergoing a trial of love.

Jiang Yushi hadn't wanted to take the assignment, but when he glanced at Lord Lin, he froze. This Lord Lin was none other than his nemesis back when he was mortal, Lin Xuqing.

He accepted the task at once.

In the first lifetime, he was a regent with power over the entire court, while Lin Xuqing was a wolf pup he had taken under his wing before the boy had grown into his own.

Jiang Yushi wanted to keep the little wolf pup firmly in his grasp, so he would never meet a suitable partner or pass his trial of love, and would spend his entire life barely scraping by under Jiang Yushi's thumb

But when Lin Xuqing fell into an enemy trap and his life hung by a thread, Jiang Yushi, as if possessed, charged into enemy territory and single-handedly snatched him back.

Jiang Yushi died, but Lin Xuqing was saved.

He figured Lin Xuqing's trial of love would surely fail this time.

According to the records in the Matchmaking Pavilion, Lin Xuqing should have met, in the enemy camp, the love of his life: someone who would save him from danger, help him fight his way back to the capital, and ultimately fall in love with him. But after Jiang Yushi's interference, there was no chance of mutual affection. If they didn't end up sworn enemies, that would be more than he could have hoped for.

He never expected that, after sleeping through the night, everything would change. Lin Xuqing had passed the trial of love in his first lifetime without a hitch.

Jiang Yushi: ?

Fortunately, Lin Xuqing had more than one trial of love to endure. Jiang Yushi only needed to succeed once to complete his mission, and could even repay Lin Xuqing for all the trouble he had caused him in the mortal realm.

But somehow, the mission eventually turned into

Becoming Lin Xuqing's late white moonlight.

Upcoming novel No. 2, Sighing at the Spring Chill

General Gu, who should have had an illustrious future, became lame and was reduced to a prince in name only. Overnight, he went from phoenix to barnyard chicken, and even the well-matched Kun Lords avoided him like the plague.

He couldn't be bothered to force a marriage, either. Spending his days admiring flowers and scenery was peaceful enough for him.

He never expected things to change so quickly: the prime minister's youngest son, who had only recently been found, was granted to him in marriage.

Gu Wangsheng asked blankly, "Huh?"

Only when the imperial edict was delivered into his hands did he believe it. There really was an unlucky soul who'd been ordered to marry him. Thinking that if they couldn't hold a wedding, they could always become sworn brothers instead, he asked his Kun Lord a question that shook heaven and earth on their wedding day.

Gu Wangsheng: "Do you want to consummate the marriage with me?"

Han Yutan was speechless. "...What else would we do?"

At that, Gu Wangsheng calmly brought out dozens of rare, treasured erotic manuals. The two spent their wedding night poring over the countless positions in them, not sleeping a wink.

Han Yutan: "This seems so difficult..."

Gu Wangsheng agreed. "It's certainly wishful thinking to expect a lame man to manage those positions."

He and Han Yutan were well suited to each other after their marriage. But one day, Han Yutan suddenly acted out of character and straddled him, his long, narrow eyes full of affection even as his words sent a chill down Gu Wangsheng's spine.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, Han Yutan said softly, "Your Highness, I want to top."

Gu Wangsheng sighed helplessly. With one hand, he gently supported his Kun Lord; with the other, he tucked a loose strand of hair behind Han Yutan's ear. Gazing outside, he said, "It's still chilly this spring. Autumn would be better."

Han Yutan sighed at the spring chill too, then paused and looked back at him.

"Does that mean you've agreed, Your Highness?"

Gu Wangsheng simply said,

"Whatever you wish for, I can grant."

Upcoming novel No. 3, I'm Done Being a God

Su Chenchu was an unremarkable office worker who ascended to immortality after dying from overwork.

He'd planned to lie flat and enjoy the good life, but things didn't go as he hoped. The previous God of Sorrow had been under so much pressure that he jumped from the Immortal Execution Tower.

As it happened, Su Chenchu had died with a great deal of resentment, so through a twist of fate, he inherited the previous God's position.

Su Chenchu: ?

He had barely taken over the job when his head started to throb.

Task 1: Gather rationality points from trials of love and count how many people pass.

Task 2: Send the immortals who fail to meet the rationality requirements back to the mortal realm to undergo another trial.

With so many lovesick immortals around, Su Chenchu once again became an unfortunate employee on call twenty-four hours a day.

At last, he couldn't take it anymore. He slammed his hand on the table and roared, "I'm done being a god!"

The next morning, Su Chenchu came up with a flawless plan: he would descend to the mortal realm himself, disguise himself as an immortal who needed to retake the test, and undergo the trial in their place.

So that very day, he jumped down to boost his performance metrics.

In his first lifetime, Su Chenchu was a celebrated scholar in the capital, and the person he had to undergo a trial of love with was a princess of a fallen kingdom.

He had to marry her first, fall in love afterward, then break up over their conflicting loyalties and watch his beloved die with his own eyes.

On their wedding night, he discovered that the princess was a man.

Su Chenchu: "How am I supposed to love him? Tell me, how am I supposed to love him?"

Xu Yiliang: "Hey, this client's trial-of-love partner is pretty handsome."

To complete his performance metrics, Su Chenchu endured the humiliation, all for the day the princess would die for his country

But when he watched Xu Yiliang leap from the city wall with his own eyes, his heart felt strangely hollow, as if he'd lost something incredibly important to him.

After successfully completing his trial and returning to the celestial realm, Su Chenchu ran into an "old acquaintance."

Su Chenchu: "Wait, no one told me this guy was undergoing someone else's trial of love too!"

Upcoming novel No. 4, Reduced to Serving Others

Ever since humanity's first differentiation, conflict had arisen and spread without end. Even two people who had once been inseparable could turn against each other because of the social classes created by differentiation

Shen Jiangchi had experienced this firsthand.

As the Alpha representative, Shen Jiangchi attended a negotiation with the Omega General Command for the first time. The first thing he did upon entering was demand to speak with Zhao Xuzhi, who was also an Alpha but had abandoned the Alpha ranks as soon as the command began to take shape.

Even though the people at the command had told him Zhao Xuzhi was on leave.

Click

He stopped idly turning the gun in his hand, then strode forward, leaving them with just one sentence: "Then I'll go talk to him in person."

Everyone at the General Command couldn't help shrinking back. ...What a grudge.

There were all kinds of rumors about Shen Jiangchi.

One had to do with his personality:

He was an extremist who never pulled his punches. He was ruthless enough to blow up his own gland and take someone else down with him.

Another concerned his past relationship:

He'd once had a boyfriend, who dumped him after Shen Jiangchi stabbed him. From then on, Shen Jiangchi held a grudge and clawed his way up to his current position, all so he could drag his ex out and kill him.

Whenever people brought it up, someone would say that the ex had no idea how lucky he was. He'd rejected a top-tier Alpha and even stabbed him!

But only a handful of people knew that Shen Jiangchi's supposedly ungrateful ex was none other than Zhao Xuzhi, now a high-ranking official who had represented the Omega General Command on numerous occasions.

Zhao Xuzhi himself had never mentioned Shen Jiangchi to anyone. It was as if the person who had shared a passionate romance with Shen Jiangchi had never been him, but a stranger with the same face.
