[My new novel next door, The Black Lotus Villainess Refuses to Be a Caged Bird, is now available. The whole book is already written, and the heroine won't suffer. It's a sweet and satisfying story.

Please add it to your collection! ↖^O^↗]

This novel is also known as Eighty Thousand Springs.

In public, Shopkeeper Qin is wise and brave, capable of plotting and decisive in action. In private, she's a flirtatious straight-shooter with a possessive streak.

In public, the powerful eunuch is sinister and ruthless, and never lets a slight go unanswered. In private, he's a possessive, insecure romantic who can't think straight when it comes to love.

When Chancellor Qin is implicated in the case of the deposed crown prince's bid for the throne, his entire clan faces execution. Qin's famous daughter, renowned throughout the capital, is granted in marriage to Qi Wuhe, the powerful Director of the Eastern Depot, who is at the height of his influence. Countless people wait to see the spectacle.

Qin Yuanxiu, reborn in the body of a fallen noblewoman, faces the open and veiled mockery and pity around her without feeling embarrassed in the slightest. Instead, she is secretly relieved. So what if she was married off to a eunuch? Qi Wuhe is far better than those princes and nobles with three wives and four concubines!

Qi Wuhe has plotted for this for a long time, driven by selfish desire. But after getting what he wanted, he doesn't dare reach out to her. He assumes she must hate him to the core. Being forced to give herself to a eunuch is surely the greatest humiliation imaginable.

Qin Yuanxiu goes into business, builds factories, opens schools for girls, overturns wrongful convictions, and gives out porridge and medicine.

Everyone watches in disbelief as the mighty Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Lord bends down to brush the dust off her.

The noblewoman who once followed every rule is now frank and uninhibited. She beckons, and the once sinister, violent Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Lord obediently leans down to listen, moving with the ease of someone who has done it a thousand times.

The moment she chose to run toward me, the blossoms of ten thousand missed springs burst into bloom with a thunderous roar.

A little scene:

As their lips and tongues entwine, all Qin Yuanxiu can hear is the thunderous pounding of her heart. Unable to keep up, Qin Yuanxiu raises herself slightly and presses down on Qi Wuhe's shoulder, commanding him from above, "Qi Wuhe, don't you dare move."

Qi Wuhe obediently stops, like a big dog tied up on a leash, looking strangely pitiful. He still wants to kiss her, and begs, "Good Rongrong... Am I not allowed to move at all?"

Qin Yuanxiu is truly wicked. Since she has lost out, she is determined to get even with Qi Wuhe. She never lets a slight go unanswered. "What did you call me?"

Qi Wuhe naturally can't hold back. He wants to kiss Qin Yuanxiu, so he fights through his embarrassment and speaks so softly his voice is almost inaudible. "Please... kiss me."

My new novel next door is now available: The Black Lotus Villainess Refuses to Be a Caged Bird, also known as The Cicadas of the Four Corners. The whole book is already written. Please add it to your collection!

Lian Xiang, a cold-hearted, vengeful, bold and carefree villainess with a black-lotus heart.

Helian Yu, a vicious, insecure, sinister and loyal puppy in the early story, and a possessive, jealous foreign khan later on.

[Important: The heroine won't suffer. It's a sweet and satisfying story.]

The northern frontier is in peril. Her childhood friend is dead.

The emperor forcibly takes Lian Xiang as his empress, and she has no choice but to go to the capital. The palace is full of intrigue. The emperor puts on a show of obsessive devotion to her, and Lian Xiang naturally acts with bold abandon and takes revenge on those who wrong her.

Not long after Lian Xiang enters the palace, disasters repeatedly strike the northern frontier. Everyone thinks the frontier's fortunes are finished, and that Lian Xiang's time as empress is nearly over.

Lian Xiang asks to be deposed, and the emperor is so furious he nearly loses his senses.

But Lian Xiang gives a soft sob, and in an instant the emperor wants to slap himself. "A Xiang, don't say things like asking to be deposed. I'll write an imperial edict to the northern frontier right now. You can watch me write it, all right?"

As soon as she leaves the imperial study, the grief and weakness Lian Xiang had been pretending to show vanish from her face. Her expression cold, she says softly, word by word, "See the act through to the end."

By a twist of fate, Lian Xiang, the caged bird, ultimately dies in the emperor's hands. With her dying breath, she asks only that the emperor not make her younger sister his next empress, but he refuses to change his mind.

Lian Xiang is reborn, and there's still time to change everything.

The father who betrayed her mother, the uncle with ulterior motives, the subordinate who secretly turned against her...

Helian Yu, Lian Xiang's childhood friend, who died young in her previous life. This time, she still has time to save him.

In this life, the northern frontier is besieged on both sides. The emperor repeats his old tricks, trying to force Lian Xiang to repeat her fate and become a caged bird in the palace.

But the emperor never expected Helian Yu, the new ruler of the northern lands, rumored to be violent and wanton, to bow his head in submission before Lian Xiang.

Helian Yu holds a blood-soaked sword, yet still finds time to cover Lian Xiang's eyes with one hand. "A Xiang doesn't dare look, does she? Don't be afraid. I'm right here."

Lian Xiang, impatient to enjoy the sight of the emperor's gruesome end, calmly plays along. "Mm, I'm so scared."

Bright vermilion, rain swept clean, the blazing sun breaks through the clouds. The past is gone.

In the unending heat of the Jiachen year, cicadas from all four corners of the land sing through the clouds. Lian Xiang lightly falls into place before Helian Yu, and for a moment, they seem to have been apart for ten thousand years.

Helian Yu holds her tight. The rest of his life is everything the past owed her.

A scene from their previous life:

Childhood friends versus forced possession, in a nutshell:

Lian Xiang has always felt an uncontrollable tenderness and favoritism toward Helian Yu. Helian Yu's early death in her previous life is an eternal ache and nightmare in her heart, a wound that bleeds whenever she thinks of it and will never heal.

In their previous life.

On the northern frontier battlefield, Helian Yu loses an arm. Even as he lies dying, he remembers to say, "Remember to sew my arm back on. Don't let A Xiang see it... She'll cry if she does."

In the imperial garden, Lian Xiang sees the emperor coming after her and turns to leave.

Anger and frustration churn inside him. He refuses to let her go. "You're my empress now!"

Smack!

Everyone watches, stunned, as Lian Xiang delivers a world-shaking slap.

The emperor laughs, his voice touched with a strange, crazed tenderness. "A Xiang, are you finally willing to touch me now? Does your hand hurt? Getting this angry can't be good for you."

Reading notes:

1. Neither the heroine nor her younger sister has any romantic feelings for the emperor and former husband, Yin Yu, and neither has any physical contact with him.

2. The tyrant former husband gets his comeuppance, and the second male lead wins the heroine's heart.

3. In her previous life, the younger sister didn't suffer as the empress, either. She won power in the struggle between the emperor and empress, ruled over the four corners of the realm, and proclaimed herself emperor with a new reign title.

4. One-on-one romance, both leads are faithful and have no prior experience.

5. The heroine won't suffer. It's a sweet and satisfying story.

For the collection: reborn and married to my sworn enemy, the Demon Lord. This novel is also known as The Flying Jade Pursues Me.

A wooden beauty who knows nothing of love and devotes herself to cultivation in the early story, then a talented young woman who speaks her heart and dares to love and hate.

A proud, spirited young man who hides his feelings and puts on a show like a peacock in the early story, then a clingy, possessive, unhinged Demon Lord.

Qiao Feiqiong is born with a sword heart and advances through cultivation at astonishing speed. This rare genius is betrayed and destroyed by her fiance, who has lost his head over another woman.

Her sword heart gone, she dies young.

Reborn as the daughter of a wealthy family in the mortal realm, Qiao Feiqiong hears that the new, violently tyrannical Demon Sovereign is none other than her sworn enemy, with whom she used to draw her sword whenever they met.

When she died young, he pointed his sword at the Demon Realm for her sake, killed the Demon Lord, and never left the Demon Realm again.

The wooden beauty, whose heart once belonged only to the way of the sword, suddenly feels as if lightning has split open her meridians and awakened her. No wonder Lou Zhan couldn't stop making sarcastic remarks whenever they met, repeatedly mocking Qiao Feiqiong for her "poor taste."

So he wasn't making fun of her swordsmanship!

Before Qiao Feiqiong can make sense of her thoughts, she runs into Lou Zhan, who has come to capture her.

Lou Zhan was born with a sword bone, and the peerless ancient divine sword chose him as its master. Qiao Feiqiong and Lou Zhan have always been like two kings who never meet. When they can't see eye to eye, they draw their swords, and either of them might win.

The silver-saddled, white-horse-riding young man who once traded sharp words with her has now become the common ruler of the Demon Realm, feared by all and too terrifying to look in the eye. Lou Zhan grits his teeth.

"I caught you."

Back then, the young man was full of spirit, swearing to raise his sword and pursue Feiqiong. But broken jade belongs to the heavens. How could a mountain ever catch up with a beam of light speeding past?

Snow whirls, frost sweeps, and stars scatter across the river. Broken jade is hard to pursue, the light cannot be caught, and the bright shadow is nowhere to be found. Yet Qiao Feiqiong is willing to fall straight from the ninth heaven into Lou Zhan's arms, leaving all the wind, snow, and calamity behind her.

The light pursues the mountains, and Feiqiong comes to me.

Reading notes:

1. The engagement to her former fiance was arranged by their parents. The two of them never had feelings for each other.

2. One-on-one romance, both leads are faithful and have no prior experience. Sweet and satisfying.

For the collection: A Guide to Raising Ferocious Beasts.

This novel is also known as A Hundred Years of Snow.

In public, Zhong Xingxiang is a decisive, cold, workaholic. In private, he's a devoted, possessive, peacock-preening CEO.

In public, Yixue is a violent, ruthless ferocious beast. In private, she's an unawakened wooden beauty, a beloved great monster.

Zhong Xingxiang finds a young ferocious beast outside his own home.

Much later, Zhong Xingxiang finally gets to read a special edition of the Yunhan Daily.

That day's Yunhan Monster News says: Emergency! The Yunhan Star Development Planning Bureau has lost an extremely dangerous ferocious beast. A Zhang, resembling a red leopard, with four tails and one horn. Anyone who finds it should not approach. Call the Yunhan Star Development Planning Bureau office immediately.

Zhong Xingxiang instinctively strokes the fluff in his arms and can't help wondering: Could they mean this one in my arms?

Yixue, nestled in Zhong Xingxiang's arms, pretends not to hear. She's fixated on rubbing her tender little horn against his palm.

Before Yixue goes on a mission, Zhong Xingxiang anxiously checks her gear. He carelessly loads Yixue up with priceless protective devices that are almost impossible to find.

Still not reassured, Zhong Xingxiang checks her from head to toe over and over. "Baby, are you sure you don't need the bodyguards I hired for you?"

The Celestial Fox waits for ages at the Development Planning Bureau without seeing Yixue. One look is enough to leave him speechless. He can't even be bothered to reason with CEO Zhong, who has been dazzled by love. "A Zhang is a ferocious beast! Do you even know what a ferocious beast is?"

The grumpiest ferocious beast at the Yunhan Star Development Planning Bureau has finally grown a fifth tail!

Yixue is rather pleased with herself. Her hard work in punishing evil and promoting good has finally paid off. She can't help wagging her tail at Zhong Xingxiang. "The first time I saw you, I knew my fifth tail was finally going to grow in."

Zhong Xingxiang lost his parents early and has long known how quickly people's hearts change, like ice melting into snow. At the edge of the world, Zhong Xingxiang nearly ends up in a fish's belly. After he's rescued, he clutches the red pearl by his heart and is certain that a wild goose once left its mark on the snow, yet the person who saved him is nowhere to be found.

Everyone knows CEO Zhong has kept himself chaste for many years. He's always stern and cold, never softening his expression for anyone.

No one knows the delusion in Zhong Xingxiang's heart, like white flakes of cotton, has fallen for a hundred years.

The True Heiress Sits Securely in the Tyrant's Heart

This novel is also known as The Swan Goose from a Thousand Miles Away.

Chu Jianghong, a cold-hearted, vengeful, brilliant young woman, a green-tea beauty X Feng Yuqian, a restrained and brooding tyrant in the early story, then an older, possessive, unhinged tyrant.

The current emperor began attending court at ten and ascended the throne at twenty. Everyone knows His Majesty is absolute in his authority and merciless. Everyone trembles and treads on thin ice before him, with one exception.

After the palace banquet, a stunning beauty actually grabs the emperor's sleeve. Everyone gasps. What incredible nerve!

Everyone thinks this beauty is arrogantly trying to climb the social ladder, and that someone as lovely as her will only end up as a wronged soul beneath the emperor's sword. No one expects the awe-inspiring emperor to humble himself and gently coax her.

"Then carry me on your back."

"How can you say such a thing in public? It's unbecoming," the old-fashioned emperor says, restraining himself as he reaches out his hand. With great reluctance, he knows she can get lazy and start playing the victim, just as she's done all her life. "I'll support you."

The emperor considers himself calm and self-controlled, but when an old house catches fire, reason goes up in flames.

When she disappears one day, Feng Yuqian can no longer control his possessiveness or the darkness in his heart. If only he could make sure she never left him again.

At the palace banquet the following year, Chu Jianghong has a few too many cups of fruit wine and can't hold her liquor. The way she sways and mutters when drunk is irresistible.

Feng Yuqian lowers his head and bends down, gently coaxing her. "Be good. Climb on. Let me carry you, all right?"

That autumn, the wind howls through desolate skies. She falls from a cliff, clinging to life. Between dreams and waking, Feng Yuqian seems to glimpse a spirit at ease in the forest. But she is not a butterfly crossing the river. She is a swan soaring into the distant sky.

The heiress who was maliciously switched at birth returns to the Marquis's estate.

She is nothing like the timid, weak girl everyone imagined. Far from suffering, she is spirited, spoiled, and willful.

The true heiress, and the fake heir.

This isn't some poor country girl begging for scraps. A spoiled young lady with a bully's attitude has stormed the place!

Everyone in the Marquis's household thinks there's no need to tear the family apart. A daughter can't inherit the family estate anyway, and what could be better than having her brothers support her?

Only the Marchioness unhesitatingly divorces her husband and takes her daughter back to their fief.

If you want a son to inherit the family estate, then I'll make sure you watch it all go up in flames.

Who could have imagined that the former Marchioness would become a First-Class Duke of Grace?

Theme: Grind stone into a pearl.
