Shen Qingyan and Mu Jue have been at odds since childhood.
The well-bred young lady can’t stand the mischievous boy next door, who’s always dashing around. The unruly young general loves teasing his sweet-faced, sly-hearted childhood friend.
They’re a terrible match, squabbling whenever they meet. Their elders don’t know what to do with them. Who would’ve guessed that an imperial decree of marriage would bring these complete opposites together?
On their wedding night, they promptly get into a huge argument. Mu Jue storms out, furious, only to hear a maid cry out behind him:
“Oh no! The young madam fell from the windowsill and hit her head!”
…
After losing her memory, Shen Qingyan tugs at his sleeve, bashful and shy. “Husband.”
Mu Jue assumes this is just another new trick to mess with him, and asks coldly, “What did you call me?”
Shen Qingyan blinks up at him, then looks at his wedding robes. “I’m the bride, and you’re the groom. Isn’t that what I’m supposed to call you? Hus…band?”
Mu Jue is stunned. Meeting her bewildered, fawn-like gaze, he gives up resisting.
“That’s right,” he says, turning away with the tips of his ears reddening. “Tonight… is our wedding night.”
After losing her memory, Shen Qingyan forgets many things, but she can still feel her heart racing whenever Mu Jue comes close.
Shen Qingyan, clutching her chest: I get it. This is what it means to be deeply in love. ✔️
Until one night, she remembers everything.
She remembers him trampling her flower garden and her tattling on him. She remembers fighting with him from one end of the street to the other, so fiercely that even passing dogs didn’t dare offer a word of advice.
Furious, Shen Qingyan tries to shove him awake and confront him, but the arm across her draws her closer, expertly pulling her into his embrace.
“What’s wrong?” Mu Jue mumbles sleepily, yawning. He sniffs her, then kisses her. “Want more?”
Shen Qingyan: …
A hot-blooded guy x a sweet girl who’s innocent on the outside but sly within. Childhood rivals who bicker like a couple of rookies, and each other’s first love. A sweet romance focused on their relationship, set in a completely fictional world, so don’t worry about historical accuracy w
My next sweet romance: *One Night With My Husband From a Past Life*
Blurb:
1.
As her wedding day approaches, Princess Yongjia, Xiao Chengyu, catches her future husband fooling around with an actor. Furious, she breaks off the engagement in front of everyone.
Back at the princess’s residence, emboldened by three parts drunkenness, she squints and picks the most handsome man on the spot, ordering her attendants to tie him up and put him in her bed.
After a wild night, Xiao Chengyu wakes from her pleasant dream and asks, “Who was that man last night?”
The palace attendant drops to his knees and answers nervously, “I-it was a new horse servant at the residence, named Wei Zhuo.”
His status is so low that Xiao Chengyu ought to be angry, but when she thinks of his powerful arms and solid chest…
Her heart suddenly skips a beat.
2.
The news that Princess Yongjia has replaced her horse servant with a new prince consort spreads through Chang’an in an instant.
Xiao Chengyu, her pretty face set in a stern expression, lays down three rules for the horse servant: he must never overstep, he must always show her respect, and he can’t make the first move, only appearing when she wants him…
“Most importantly, the third rule,” she says, clearing her throat. “You must not fall for me. Do you understand?”
The tall, long-legged man kneels beside the bed and says nothing for a long time. The little princess grows impatient and gives him a light kick with her foot. “Why aren’t you answering me?”
At last, he looks up at her with sharp, hawk-like eyes. His voice is deep and hoarse. “Understood, Your Highness.”
3.
Wei Zhuo has known this spoiled little princess since his previous life.
The realm was in chaos, with war raging everywhere. Her prince consort betrayed her, and her family abandoned her. In short, she had a very hard life.
He became an outlaw, claimed a mountain as his own, and took her in when she fled for her life, all because he was attracted by her looks.
But just as he became a powerful warlord and they were finally ready to marry out of genuine love, she died young from a chronic illness.
The day she died in his arms, snow fell all around them.
With a realm for the taking, he calmly arranged her funeral, then went into her tomb and never came back out.
4.
Reborn, Wei Zhuo proceeds one careful step at a time.
First, he has to expose the true nature of her wretched fiancé. Then he needs to protect her, making sure she never suffers the way she did in her previous life…
Wait. He hasn’t even had time to plan his next move to get closer to her. How did he end up tied to the bed by her?!!!
She looks down at him, her bright eyes untouched by hardship, shining brighter than the stars
“Listen carefully. I chose you only because I needed you for now. In the future, we…”
Wei Zhuo has seen those bright, bossy eyes before.
As for those three rules…
Let’s just say there’s no way he’ll follow a single one of them. :)
Check out my friend’s amazing story about a woman adored by everyone! It’s updating now!
*No Flirting With the Darkened Darling* by Xiao Mao Dai Kou Zhao
Blurb:
Yuan Shuang graduated from a prestigious university and has an impressive resume, but unfortunately comes from a poor family with no connections. Not only is she unable to fulfill her ambitions, but she’s also relentlessly pursued and forced into a relationship by rich and powerful men.
At their wedding, her aristocratic husband gets his wish and puts a ring on her finger, promising, “If you’re willing to love me, I’ll do everything I can to give you a brilliant future.”
Yuan Shuang agrees without hesitation.
Later, her husband’s aloof and abstinent older brother tries every trick to seduce her, tempting her with, “You’re bound to get bored spending all your time with one person. You should give someone else a look, too.”
Her husband’s gentle, flirtatious friend checks on her constantly, looking pitiful as he says, “My heart aches for you. Could you give me a chance to take care of you, too?”
Her husband’s spoiled, arrogant rival throws himself at her and insists, “As long as no one finds out, there’s nothing improper about us.”
Yuan Shuang thinks they all make a lot of sense.
So she agrees to them all without hesitation, too.
