A Bride for the Delicate Darling

Li Sisi, the merchant Li family's stepdaughter, suffered daily at the hands of her elder stepsister and was coveted by her hypocritical brother-in-law.

Surrounded by wolves and tigers, she clumsily imitated the charming women in romance stories in order to protect herself, and won the favor of a noble prince who had come to the house to investigate a case.

Calling him "big brother" in a sweet, coquettish voice, she was taken back to the capital by him.

He doted on her like a precious treasure, indulging her and letting her shine.

After spending day and night together, Li Sisi developed feelings for him that she knew she shouldn't have.

She no longer wanted to be his little sister.

Yet no matter how many times she flirted with him, subtly or outright, it was like batting her eyelashes at a blind man.

Only when he found her a husband did Li Sisi finally give up hope.

She couldn't accept it. If she couldn't have him, then before she ran away, she would have him in bed.

Xiao Jingxi left the capital on official business and returned with a timid little red-eyed rabbit.

He raised her as his little sister, spoiling her as she grew up.

He never expected the young woman to develop romantic feelings for him.

Xiao Jingxi acted in time to cut his losses and arranged a good marriage for her.

The day she eloped and left, he finally learned what regret meant.

On their wedding night, Xiao Jingxi, now the new emperor, lifted the red veil. Looking at Li Sisi's dazed face, he slowly traced her red lips.

"What are you afraid of, Sisi? Wouldn't it be wonderful if I were your groom?"

Both leads are each other's first and only.

New novel launching April 6:

[Rebirth + Reconciliation After a Breakup + Regretful Pursuit + Love Rival Showdown]

Liu Yimian was the daughter of a minor official. An old monk once read her fortune and said she was born with the destiny of a phoenix, destined for immeasurable honor.

She laughed it off, since the man she loved was merely a soldier under her father's command.

That is, until the land fell into chaos, he became a powerful ruler, and his identity as the deposed crown prince came to light.

Liu Yimian restrained her nature and helped him reclaim city after city.

She won hearts, managed the household, and raised their children. Everyone praised her as his virtuous helpmate.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, surely she would finally rise to become empress.

But on the day he claimed the throne, all Liu Yimian received was an imperial edict naming her a noble consort.

The palace gates swung open, and a palanquin carried a woman into the new emperor's Hall of Supreme Harmony. Rumor had it she was the woman he had long yearned for but could never have.

After a lifetime of hard work, it turned out that everything had been nothing but a wishful dream on her part.

He was cold and taciturn with her. She had assumed that was simply his nature, until she saw him that day holding another woman in his arms, both of them passionately in love.

Grief-stricken, she grew increasingly bedridden.

As she closed her eyes and died, she dimly saw the man kneel in disarray beside her bed.

His handsome face was filled with panic, an expression she had never seen before.

Liu Yimian scoffed at herself. She had endured ten years of hardship without a scratch. How could she waste away less than half a year after entering the palace? Wouldn't her death be exactly what he wanted?

What a consummate actor!

When she opened her eyes again, Liu Yimian had returned to the days before her marriage. She looked at the half-finished man's garment in her hands and immediately cut it to shreds with a pair of scissors.

A heartless ingrate like him wasn't worth sacrificing another lifetime for.

Murong Ke went from the exalted crown prince to an escaped slave.

By a twist of fate, he became a low-ranking soldier under Commander Liu.

His superior had a daughter, lively and radiant, who would often sneak glances at him.

She brought him snacks, sewed clothes for him, and always took his side.

Murong Ke showed nothing on his face, but his tightly closed heart gradually opened to her.

Then, one day, the young woman's eyes, shimmering with affection, turned toward someone else.

For the first time, the aloof Murong Ke felt jealousy. The instinct to fight, seize, and claim, hidden beneath his elegant facade, came out in full force and could no longer be contained.

He would be the only man she ever married.
