CompletedShe had an affair. The other party was a scumbag, and also her brother—oh, her stepbrother. She was just lonely and thought he was only fooling around too. Unexpectedly, things spiraled out of control and she was almost caught.
Her husband abused her, leaving her bruised and battered. She ran away from home, intending to divorce. Before the lawsuit could even begin, her husband died unexpectedly, and she discovered she was pregnant.
Her life completely derailed, becoming a joke and gossip. At this time, the man she had an affair with, her stepbrother, promised, "I'll marry you, no matter what my family thinks."
Perhaps the story could have ended happily there, but she refused: "I won't marry you. I don't want to jump into another cage."
Six years later, he completely lowered his stance, and she thoroughly understood the meaning of a "cage." Only then did their respective paths finally connect. This story features a pseudo-incestuous, immoral relationship, imperfect characters, and both leads are not virgins.
Please note: The beginning is melodramatic, while the later parts focus on character growth. It's not a "strong female lead" or "feel-good" read, so proceed with caution if you mind!
Completed"Moon Over the Desolate City" is a chapter-style novel, comprising sixty-two chapters and approximately 450,000 words. It tells the story of two male protagonists, Luo Guyun and Xiao Xiangyue, from their meeting in 1927 to their passing in 1999, chronicling seventy-two years of their joys and sorrows, partings and reunions.
Luo Guyun was rich enough to rival a nation and powerful enough to secure the country. He hailed from a warlord family. In his early years, he was a renowned anti-Japanese general. Later, he moved overseas and established the Moen Consortium, which prospered for a century.
Xiao Xiangyue possessed world-shaking talent and captivating beauty. He was one of the greatest musicians in human history. Together, they spent their lives in mutual devotion, enacting a grand love that transcended time, life, and death, remaining deeply unwavering.
While "Dream of the Red Chamber" speaks of rise and fall, "Moon Over the Desolate City" speaks of completeness. When a work takes "love without regret, without flaw" as its foundation, yet can unfold with such twists and turns throughout seventy-two years of historical currents, it has already surpassed the scope of ordinary love narratives.

CompletedSynopsis: [Main text finished] [Resilient Farm Girl vs. Venomous Aristocrat]
"She's nothing but a lowly farm girl exploiting kindness for gain, utterly beneath me. How could she ever catch my eye?" These were the last words Zhang Jingxian heard before her death in her previous life.
"He's naturally cold-hearted and ruthless with his methods. I'd rather avoid him, so how could I ever like him? I'll never like him." In this life, Zhang Jingxian laughed while chatting with others. Xie Yun overheard her words coincidentally, and they became the root of his madness.
***
Zhang Jingxian was an ordinary farm girl from Xishan Village. One day, while hunting in the mountains, she rescued an unconscious man. He was incredibly handsome, gentle, and courteous. Even though he had broken legs and forgotten his past, Zhang Jingxian carefully nursed him and went to great lengths to find a doctor for him, imagining they could spend their lives together.
Later, his legs finally healed, and his memory returned. Only then did Zhang Jingxian learn that he was Xie Yun, a noble aristocrat. Mud from the ground and clouds in the sky were naturally ill-matched. Zhang Jingxian was sensible and also noticed the disdain everyone around him showed her, so she chose to leave quietly.
That day, she died on the road. Before her death, she learned the truth: Xie Yun had never lost his memory in the first place. He had deceived her, guarded against her, and looked down on her with utmost contempt.
When she opened her eyes again, Zhang Jingxian had been reborn. Before her was the severely injured Xie Yun. She once again saved him and brought him back, but this time, she treated him like a treacherous and venomous snake.
——
Xie Yun was the most arrogant son of the Xie family, whose notoriety for being a playboy was known throughout the land. No one believed that he would eventually bend his knee for a farm girl. Of course, he didn't believe it himself either. A lowly farm girl, even if she saved him, wasn't worthy of a single glance from him.
But later, no matter what methods he used, she refused to look at him.

Completed"You don't love me, so why do you treat me like this? Is it fun?"
"I just want to see you suffer. I want to humiliate you, Rong Huan. You brought all of this upon yourself!"
"Lian Sixuan, even if my Rong family once wronged you, how are you any better than the Rong family back then?"
CompletedWhen the notorious adopted daughter of the Shen family returned to Hong Kong, the city's elite society descended into chaos.
At the age of twelve, Lin Ran and her mother came to live as dependents in Shen Garden, home to the century-old prestigious Shen family in Hong Kong.
The eldest son of the Shen family was reserved and aloof, while the second son was charming and passionate. The two were constantly at odds.
By day, her second brother would pinch her cheek and call her cute. By night, her eldest brother would press her against the wall and kiss her recklessly. Her life was like walking on thin ice.
A fabricated scandal led to Lin Ran and her second brother being expelled from the Shen family by the eldest brother. She gave birth to a stillborn child and left her homeland.
Seven years later, an anonymous call informed her that her child was not dead. Lin Ran was forced to return to Shen Garden.
Shen Jinghan, the child's biological father and heir to Shen Garden, relentlessly cornered her, his voice low and hoarse: "What are you back for? To seduce me?" Lin Ran's heart was cold as a knife; he had discarded her like old shoes, and she had long stopped loving him.
She only came back to find her child. However, he began to be unrelenting, resorting to threats,诱惑, and confinement, crazily asking if she could love him again.
Completed"At night, I lie listening to the wind and rain, iron steeds and icy rivers entering my dreams."
"The spring breeze, peaches, and plums, a cup of wine; ten years of lamps in the night rain of the jianghu."
This is the story of Meng Shizhuang and Bian Hongqiu. Both leads disguise themselves as women. The protagonists are not good people; their personalities and values are flawed, and their past actions will not be whitewashed. The court setting is fictional.
Content warning: The first and second volumes are essentially groundwork, with the romance serving as a mere backdrop! (They barely even meet). The third volume is much longer and focuses heavily on the emotional development. This is just a casual work to practice writing.
CompletedIn an art exhibition, Nan Ke saw a young man playing the piano. He was handsome and refined, with an elegant and otherworldly aura. Her heart was moved in a way it hadn't been for a long time.
After getting to know him, she learned he was the pianist Quan Xiu. Due to an unexpected accident, he had lost his sight and was perpetually melancholic. It was this very mood, infused into his piano playing, that resonated with Nan Ke.
Nan Ke was kind to him, made him laugh, gave him gifts, and accompanied him on outings, but she never told him one thing: she had a boyfriend.
Xing Chen always believed he was the one Nan Ke chose. Nan Ke was beautiful and talented, from a good family yet not pampered, kind with boundaries, clear-headed, and self-possessed.
Xing Chen met Nan Ke during his most difficult time. Nan Ke helped him without expecting anything in return, even encouraging him with the phrase "don't bully a young man in poverty." She only accepted his proposal after serious consideration.
He possessed his dearest moon, yet he was constantly worried and afraid that this moon did not shine only upon him.
