[My new neighboring novel, *What Could Be Sweeter Than an Affair?*, is now online. The blurb is below. If you’re interested, ladies, please show it some support~] When he was young, Shi Xubai was the son of a Huaiyang salt merchant, wealthy enough to rival a nation. Later, he ran away from home and became the youngest number-one swordsman. Shi Xubai: See? Life really is a piece of cake ╭(╯^╰)╮ Then one day, he made a mistake while slaying a wicked dragon and nearly died in the Western Sea. A female cultivator passing by saved him. She was quiet and timid… Even after being captured by the dragon, gravely wounded, and reduced to a mortal, she just smiled and went along with him. “Oh! That silver dragon was so wicked, wasn’t she? You want to kill her? No, no, that’s too violent! Think about your delicate wife. Who’ll protect her at home while you’re off getting revenge? Are you going to abandon her?” She remained just the same even after they’d been married for years. Now and then, when recalling the past, Zhu Yao would still say, “I wasn’t always like this, you know. I was even gentler when I was young.” Sadly, Zhu Yao died. That was the day Shi Xubai’s heart on the Path of Ruthlessness shattered. - When Shi Xubai opened his eyes again, he had returned to his wife’s youth. At the time, his wife had just been abducted by the wicked dragon. Without a second thought, Shi Xubai disguised himself as a woman and posed as a sacrificial bride offered to the dragon, all to save her. But then… Why was the wicked dragon his wife? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ Zhu Yao was a silver dragon from the Western Sea. Dragons of her clan would abduct beautiful cultivators of the same sex and keep them around. When she was young and foolish, someone stole her dragon bones, so she also captured a very beautiful woman to borrow her spiritual energy and heal her wounds. It was only after keeping her for a while that Zhu Yao discovered “she” was a man. That gave Zhu Yao an amusing idea She could pretend to have amnesia and act as if she’d forgotten he was a man. She wanted to see how long the proud young Master Shi could keep up the act. [Reading Guide] 1. Heterosexual romance. “Villain” refers only to the character setup. No transmigrate-into-a-book elements. 2. The heroine is heterosexual from beginning to end. Not once does she wonder whether she’s been turned gay. I always wonder about that when I read, so I had to say it ╭(╯^╰)╮ 3. The hero has no cross-dressing fetish. Not once does he take an interest in women’s clothing. He’s doing it purely to win his wife back. He’s the kind of deeply devoted, oblivious man who’d stab himself to give his wife a thrill. - New novel: *What Could Be Sweeter Than an Affair?* Jiang Duyun got herself a new boyfriend. Unfortunately, her new boyfriend wasn’t her husband. He was just a vile, lowly demon who had infiltrated the Shen clan, disguised himself as her husband, Shen Songming, and planned to overthrow the entire cultivation world. “If you don’t want your husband to die, you’d better be nice to me.” Every night, the demon would ask her with a smile who was better, him or her husband. His lashes would tremble as he spoke, and the red mole beneath his eye was even more alluring and bewitching than her husband’s. By day, she was still the gentle wife of a prominent family, tending to her husband with loving care. Only Jiang Duyun knew that the demon had eyes and ears everywhere, throughout the Shen clan. She said, “Shen Songming gave me too little this month.” Before even an incense stick had burned down, ten thousand spirit stones would be delivered to her. She also said, “Those people from the Jiang clan look down on me. They say I’ve married into high society, but can’t hide my lowborn sword slave nature.” Soon, she’d hear that the Jiang clan had been wiped out. Even her husband, who’d once treated her with cold indifference, gradually began to show her more kindness. In front of others, he acted more and more like a loving husband. With the demon’s help, Jiang Duyun returned to the path of cultivation, and her nerve grew day by day. At last, she told the demon: “I’m going to divorce my husband.” Then she thought, why should a woman have only one husband? … The album of portraits she’d marked for her other lovers fell into her husband’s hands. Jiang Duyun took a step back, staring in shock as the young man hooked an arm around her neck. The kiss marks she’d left on the demon the night before were still on his chest. “Why are you running? I’m not going to get mad at you.” He wrapped one arm around her waist and lifted her onto the windowsill. His eyes curved as he smiled, still as good-natured as ever. “Which other lovers do you want? Why not bring them to meet me first, and let them join us? It won’t be any trouble for me to support you and them.” “Oh, right. Don’t answer with the mouth above.” Another upcoming novel: *To Get Divorced, You Have to Get Married First, Right?* Gu Chunsheng’s husband had a new girlfriend. When Gu Chunsheng found out, she’d just returned from the hospital. Her concussion hadn’t completely healed, and she found a photograph of an unfamiliar young woman at home.

Fuming, she went to confront him and demanded a divorce. He looked at her, his ears inexplicably turning red.
