Pirated copies are not my responsibility. The whole story is like a giant cup of Snow King sundae!

Please add my new novel, The Miaojiang Boy I Used Was Actually a Sickly Gu King.

A tale of a lofty beauty falling from grace / competing suitors / dog-training fiction / forbidden play / a fierce tug-of-war between a white moonlight and a black moonlight / feigned affection mixed with true feelings

Seductive, unhinged beauty Shen Zhao x abstinent, jealous power minister Pei Ruying

Blurb:

After her kingdom falls, Shen Zhao becomes a dependent flower in the hands of the ruler of her enemy nation. She is tender and understanding, the perfect confidante to the king.

But where no one can see, she smiles as she plunges a dagger into the heart of an enemy general.

So she isn't a fragile beauty after all...

She sets her sights on Pei Ruying, the cold and abstinent minister. At first, she only wants revenge. Later, she decides that watching a sage lose control is even more entertaining.

She teases him, trampling on his moral principles and propriety.

She tempts him into a sea of desire and keeps him tangled in her bed. "Lord Pei, why don't you dare ask yourself what you truly want?"

She is the emperor's woman, and he is the emperor's minister.

Shen Zhao keeps reminding him of this, forcing him to face the truth even as he falls.

But no matter how she tempts him, even when she herself has fallen, he still clings to a shred of reason.

She stakes her whole life and says, "Pei Ruying, I want to be queen."

At last, she gets her wish and drives him mad...

For her sake, he kills the upright, principled man he once was with his own hands.

Blurb 2:

Though Pei Ruying was born into a high-ranking noble family, he was no spoiled playboy. His name was known throughout the land at twelve, and by fifteen the rulers were vying to recruit him.

Before meeting Shen Zhao, his first twenty-one years had been smooth and trouble-free. He held himself to the highest standards and followed proper conduct. His only wish was to see peace throughout the land and help bring about a prosperous, enlightened age.

From the very first day he met Shen Zhao, he began to stray from the proper path.

For her, he killed someone for the first time in his life.

She spoke sweetly, coaxing him into letting himself be used.

She taught him to loosen her robes and to taste desire.

He persuaded himself to become her willing servant.

Even though she was the current emperor's beloved.

Time and again, he lost himself in her, and time and again, he came to his senses, falling with his eyes wide open...

Until she said she wanted to marry the emperor and become queen.

He could no longer remain rational. He tore through every rule and convention without a trace.

If he was willing to kill and set fires for her, then of course he could be a traitorous rebel... He was already beyond redemption.

[Later, there will be rival suitors]

The emperor of the realm grips her by the throat and pours the poisoned wine into his own mouth. "If Ah Chu wants to be a temptress, then I'll be your King Zhou of Shang."

By day, the mad minister denounces her as a calamity who will ruin the nation. At midnight, he climbs through her window and softly coaxes, "If you're a temptress, does that mean you can't be queen..."

Reader's Guide:

1. No self-sacrificing saints. The heroine is sweet on the outside, dark within.

2. If you have a fixation on saintly heroines, or expect the heroine to be highly moral and pure, this isn't for you.

[Important] The heroine's first kiss is with the second male lead (their lips touch once), and she kisses the third male lead on the face! Don't read if you can't accept that. Readers who want pure male leads can rest easy: the first, second, and third male leads are all inexperienced! Don't morally judge the heroine! (This isn't a clichéd harem story!)

3. Both leads are inexperienced, with a happy ending. The heroine has only been intimate with the hero. The extras contain the true ending.

4. This is an emotion-driven romance full of tension. If you don't need much political intrigue, give it a try.

5. The author loves writing tension and forbidden relationships.

6. They go from scheming against each other to choosing each other.

7. The hero is cold and restrained at first, becomes a schemer in the middle, and goes completely mad later! You know how it is: the calmer someone is, the more compelling it is when they lose control!

8. The heroine is a stubborn, sharp-tongued fighter. Most of the time when she says she likes someone, she's lying, and she refuses to admit her feelings.

9. The author is around and reads the comments.
