General, Please Play the Qin [GB]

(This is a submission for review. I'll work hard on it. The short story is complete.)

On her first day at work, Meng Hanchuan was transported straight to ancient times and became a down-on-his-luck musician.

As a music therapist, she could build a career in ancient times just as easily as she could have seized the opportunities back in the modern world.

She took a job at a teahouse, put together music with ease, and when a general came calling, she landed the gig.

She had assumed that General Liying, who rarely showed himself, simply suffered from an old injury. She never realized that he had severe anxiety, and that when an episode hit, only her music could reach him.

She played the zither for the general, investigated the causes of his condition, and designed a personalized music therapy plan for him.

After earning a good deal of money from General Liying, she decided to open her own music hall and promote new kinds of music.

But first, she had to deal with what happened after their drunken night together.

The general lived up to his title, calmly accepting that he was the one on the bottom.

A note for my survival: The author is a bit of a pervert, and the explicit scenes are concentrated in the last few chapters. Please don't yell at me if that content isn't for you.

Here's a preview of an upcoming pure gender-bender anthology. The stories posted here are already complete.

Saving a Fallen Man: immortal x male courtesan

As a male courtesan, Muxing should have accepted his fate. But when he was beaten and at his most wretched, she saved him. He thought it would be a chance encounter, but she told him she had come for him.

On auction night, she bought him and placed a silver token on him that marked him as hers alone. He knew he shouldn't fall for her, yet an inexplicable impulse led him to offer himself to her, even hoping she'd remember him.

Rainy nights, brothels, ruined temples: every moment of intimacy made him lose control of his feelings. He wanted to take a chance, but he never expected her to be an immortal walking the mortal world. Even less did he expect that he was only a stand-in.

Stop the Master from Falling into Demonic Corruption: master x disciple

The Heavenly Dao gave Yuchen a chance to be reborn and save his master from falling into demonic corruption. From then on, his only reason to live was to protect his master.

He personally taught him spells, cared about his feelings, prepared gifts, took him to see fireworks in the human world, and even lost an arm for him. Only then did he realize that his master had been protecting him all along. His heart was lost.

He thought he had kept his feelings under control, but the poison of demonic desire tore open his ugly lust. He thought his master would despise him, but his master not only accepted his feelings, he even ventured alone into the demon realm to save him.

Raising the Coffin: sacrificial offering x executioner

Meng Jilan followed a legend about an immortal into an underground palace to search for clues, where he encountered a strange tomb robber. After the two inexplicably fought, he learned that she was a successor in the line of his own ancestor's disciple.

To find the immortal in the coffin, he was lured to her hometown. In that eerie village, he unexpectedly learned that she had survived from a hundred years ago, and that the village massacre a century earlier was connected to his ancestor.

Whether out of guilt or affection, after being escorted home, he resolutely ran away on his wedding night to accompany her into his ancestor's underground palace. There, he entered his ancestor's memories, and in those memories, he saw her.

The Bride in the Sword: sword spirit x master

She was sacrificed alive to become a sword spirit because of her sword-forged bones. She accepted Qu Huaili as her master and made him her home, but she never expected that beneath his righteous gentlemanly appearance, he was a hypocrite and a scoundrel.

Whether she became a sword spirit or an evil spirit depended on a single thought. She grew twisted, frenzied, and mad, determined to drag Qu Huaili into corruption with her and create a monster that belonged to them alone.

He used a blood pact to control her, so she used lies, force, and control to destroy his cultivation. But she never expected that the reason she could wield Qu Huaili's power wasn't the blood pact. It was because they shared the same origin.
