Latest Forbidden Love Novel

At the age of 4, she was bought out of the mountains by a couple and given the name Wen Zhili. The couple treated her as their own daughter.

At 5, she had a little sister, an unexpected surprise for the whole family. She touched her sister through their mother's belly. At that moment, Wen Zhili understood that she would love her.

Little Zhili, who could barely recognize all the Chinese characters, repeatedly flipped through a modern Chinese dictionary, a classical Chinese dictionary, and a collection of ancient poetry to give her sister a beautiful name—Wen Yan.

Little Wen Yan grew up in love, calling "Jiejie" (older sister) as she followed Wen Zhili every day. Their lives were beautiful and harmonious until—

"Jiejie, why won't you kiss me?" Wen Zhili's voice trembled: "Yanyan, I'm your Jiejie, you can't..."

Wen Zhili's entire life was spent calculating meticulously. Her parents' kindness should be repaid with good grades and achievements, and her sister's innocent smile should be guarded with careful nurturing. But what about the marks left by her fingertips digging into her palms in the middle of the night? What could atone for those?

She is the unripe, forbidden fruit. I am a wandering, hungry refugee. My thoughts are frantic, but I dare not overstep. Gentle and restrained older sister × Seemingly innocent and cute younger sister.

Elite lawyer Lu Xingyu gets drunk and encounters her ex-boyfriend, Liang Yanzhi. Fueled by alcohol, an enchanting night unfolds. The next morning, Lu Xingyu picks up her skirt and turns around to go on a blind date with Liang Yanzhi's cousin, and the two chat happily.

Liang Yanzhi corners her in the restroom, questioning her, "Lu Xingyu, do you have a heart?"

Five years ago, Lu Xingyu was a prominent young lady from a prestigious Beijing family, in a relationship with Liang Yanzhi that was a perfect match. However, the Lu family suffered a sudden misfortune, and Lu Xingyu, feeling unworthy, broke up with him. Liang Yanzhi, believing she had simply changed her mind, angrily went abroad.

Five years passed. The stunningly beautiful Lu Xingyu became a high-society socialite, cultivated by her stepfather to exchange for resources.

An intimate night makes Liang Yanzhi realize he can't let Lu Xingyu go. If she tries to hide, he'll investigate until he understands! If she seeks revenge, he'll be her stepping stone to success!

Amidst the night lights of Beijing intertwined with the evening breeze, the dark-haired, fair-skinned Lu Xingyu is pressed against the body of a Maybach. Liang Yanzhi's thin lips trace hers repeatedly, asking her with a tender voice, "Lu Xingyu, I beg you, use me, okay?"

Lu Xingyu's breathing is ragged. "Okay."

1.

It was widely known in the capital that Ji Yunchan, the eldest legitimate daughter of Minister Ji, was exquisitely beautiful and gentle, making her an ideal spouse. However, she was already engaged to the Yan family, much to everyone's regret.

Some, unwilling to give up, offered lavish gifts for her hand. Instead of meeting Ji Yunchan, they met her fiancé, Yan Heng.

At the time, Yan Heng stood effortlessly at the center of a group of official's sons, his gaze sweeping over them with a slight, mocking smile. "What, trying to poach my girl?"

Ji Yunchan, hiding nearby, shook her head. Only Yan Heng knew that Ji Yunchan was delicate and difficult to appease, her true nature completely different from the 'gentle' reputation. He took pleasure in coaxing her and fending off those who tried to win her over.

2.

Ji Yunchan was cherished by her family, her every wish granted. She had only two worries: her childhood sweetheart, Yan Heng, and her arranged marriage to him. He had a bad temper and loved to tease people, only truly sweet-talking her when she was genuinely angry, which vexed Ji Yunchan greatly.

Then, the political climate suddenly changed. The Yan family suffered a catastrophe and was exiled to the frontier.

Ji Yunchan was finally free of Yan Heng. At their farewell, she brazenly admitted she had no feelings for him, and that her heart belonged to the brilliant and esteemed Zuiyuan. The always dashing young man's eyes reddened. He fiercely spat, "Ji Yunchan, don't you dare regret this," and then left decisively.

They met again in a snowy, deep winter. By then, Ji Yunchan was a prisoner, and the families who once sought her hand now avoided her like the plague. Dressed in thin clothes, she knelt on the biting cold ground, awaiting her fate.

A pair of cold, hard riding boots appeared before her. Her chin was lifted by a horsewhip. Ji Yunchan looked up abruptly, meeting Yan Heng's indifferent eyes.

"Ji Yunchan, still well, I see." The once dashing young man had become a cold-faced general with countless achievements. Everyone assumed Ji Yunchan would be utterly humiliated in Yan Heng's hands.

Someone, wanting to vent Yan Heng's anger, suggested she be made a military prostitute. Yan Heng mockingly lifted his gaze to her, his tone sarcastic: "Did you and I, perhaps, once have an engagement?"

3.

Ji Yunchan was Yan Heng's childhood sweetheart, the wife his parents had chosen for him, the moonlight he cherished in his heart, and also the final straw that pushed him into the mud. The frontier was harsh and cold, and he swore to return in glory, even if he had to tie her to his side.

Until that day, the moonlight itself fell into the mud. This is a story of forced possession, marriage before love, and a broken mirror reunited.

Synopsis:

For the eighth time this month, Feng Ji secretly stared at his special assistant. But the catch: it was only the first day of this month.

Qi Yu grew up without parents, eating others' leftovers, and dreamt of attending the prestigious Jing University, which was sponsored by the Feng family. As soon as he graduated, he was promoted to become the close assistant of the chairman of the Feng Group, Feng Ji.

As an assistant, not only does he accompany his boss to social functions, but he also needs to handle drinks for the boss, to ensure his boss does not miss even 0.1% of profit due to intoxication.

However, the moment Qi Yu accompanied his boss to a party, he fell asleep as if drugged.

Determined to improve his drinking resistance, Qi Yu resolves to train his capacity.

On his first trip to the bar, Qi Yu encounters a bartender willing to teach him how to improve his capacity. On his second trip to the bar, the bartender is on vacation, but Qi Yu accidentally drinks a spiked drink.

As he falls unconscious, he falls into a familiar strong embrace.

Because a drink, Qi Yu and his cold boss had a night together. As a qualified assistant, Qi never becomes the trouble himself.

Qi Yu thus submitted his resignation to Feng Ji, which was denied. But his boss proposes a casual friends-with-benefits arrangement.

The daily work-to-home routine was upgraded to work-to-bed. His appellation of 'Assistant Qi' was replaced by cruel pet names.

After being kissed awake by his superior, Qi Yu reminded himself in silence: they're only adults swapping bodily pleasures.

Well... his boss does not agree—

“Baby, where are you? Could you share your location?” “It's late and you haven't passed home. I'll fetch you.” “Why did it take you so long to answer? Who are you with?”

Qi Yu felt his boss was berserk. Not only did his phone ring the moment he left, but his discarded shirts and pants appeared in his boss's wardrobe, as did an extra security camera.

...As a qualified assistant, Qi Yu faces the toughest trouble of his life: his boss may just be crazy.

He submitted his resignation for the second time; this time his boss agreed.

★Pre-release “When I developed an infatuation with my brother-in-law's beautiful subordinate” Looking for collection

—

Lu Ming and Jian Zhiyu met for the first time at the largest bar in the city. Jian Zhiyu tiptoed behind his wealthy cousin. He had big curious eyes filled with curiosity.

Lu was in a noisy and clamorous suite, yet he noticed him right away.

Jian Zhiyu... Jian Zhiyu first saw the starry ceiling in the suite. He knew at a glance it cost a lot.

Jian Zhiyu lived dirt poor all his life and had had many part-time jobs.

Before graduating, he had much working experience.

He recently found a new job—being a store's first cousin's subordinate—led the young master to lead a wild and dissolute life, earning a minimum of four-digit spending monthly.

Minimum is four digits. The most he can earn per time is unimaginable.

In order to chase the post, Jian Zhiyu wore his most 'rich and prosperous' clothes—a torn pair of jeans—to apply for the work.

...The fitting was successful, however, Jian Zhiyu was unable to drink, to smoke, or to fight, and even stuttered when he complimented.

Within his month as a subordinate, he earned nothing.

Just as he considered resigning and working in a milk tea store, he finally got his boss’s first task: playing boyfriend for a day for the young master's cousin.

Performance costs 800. Jian Zhiyu felt he was back on track.

...The handsome, rich Lu Ming, the young master's cousin and university senior, who has an expensive car with a starry ceiling, but his accumulated female afraids needed constant defense by Jian Zhiyu.

He's very beautiful, lean, long-armed. Cloaked Lu Ming’s hand with sweetness and called the culprit 'husband' politely. Thus, women would lose their passionate flutters.

Performance costs from 800 per time to 8000 per time, and Jian Zhiyu always called ‘husband’ genuinely.

Everyone thinks Jian Zhiyu loves Lu Ming deeply, but only Lu Ming knows that Jian Zhiyu only loves his money. The one who truly fell for him is him.

—

One reunion, Jian Zhiyu received an urgent order from Lu Ming. He helped the drunk young master and complained: 'Husband, you are heavy,'

next moment, he was pinched and bed. 'Wife'...

Hired during the order, Jian Zhiyu respectfully responded, 'It's me, husband.'

Lu Ming safely rip apart Jian Zhiyu's clothes.

Zhiyu: 'Who gave me husband a drug huh!' ...

Roughly, the boss spieced of an act. But everything was settled: per extra inject code, an extra code, /.

Danmei 1v1 rules, subconsciousness, age 32.

–

Jian Zhiyu originally believed that his employer-employee relationship would persist until Lu Ming finally settled down.

Until one day, slang school camaraderie, he fell drunk in a suite. Unconsciousness was like death.

A series of numbers, Jian Zhiyu unconsciously responded to—

Then, Lu Ming took Jian Zhiyu in his gold car. Upon entering the car, Jian Zhiyu was suddenly pulled into the backseat and made out.

All silence, only the sounds of their make-out and the suppression mutterings. 'Honey, how rebellious you are, going out drinking without your husband...

Zhiyu woke up yet silent. Who said that when the work extends beyond the time, one should express his bewilderment and despair for this unexpected mat booklet that could be typeset—

They made the first difference in the future. Their partnership led to lingering partnership, and they eventually became partners in both business and love.

【Main story complete, thank you for supporting the original! Extras are released irregularly.】

Yun Yang was a good younger sister. To avenge her elder sister, she used all her cunning and schemes to pull her seemingly aloof brother-in-law down from his pedestal.

To inquire about her missing sister, Yun Yang traveled alone for a thousand miles to the capital, and on the way, she picked up a blind man. After washing him clean with fresh water, she realized not only was the blind man handsome (like Pan An), but he was also very understanding. Hearing that she was going to the capital, he offered to guide her.

"You're blind, can you still see the way?" Yun Yang was suspicious.

"My eyes are blind, but my heart is not. I am from the Xue clan in the capital…" the blind man said.

Yun Yang indignantly interrupted him, "Do you know that Xue family patriarch, Xue Yu? Let me tell you, this person is insipid, tactless, and extremely irresponsible to my sister!"

Xue Yu: "...Is the lady speaking of Xue Yu, courtesy name Lingjun? What is his relation to the lady?"

Yun Yang: "Of course I know him! He's my brother-in-law!"

What to do when you spread rumors right in front of the person concerned?

***

In Xue Yu's impression, his wife's younger sister was reckless and innocent, with a harmless face, yet wild and untamed. After arriving in the capital, she was adept at socializing, constantly calling him "brother-in-law" left and right. Using his influence, she captivated many noble young men and trampled on many sincere hearts.

He thought she was heartless until one day, she finally agreed to disappear from his sight forever, only to plead for the Sixth Young Master Lu.

The newly successful Imperial Scholar, Lu Jie. Xue Yu remembered that this man was rigid and harsh, offending many in court with his sharp, direct words. He never chased his wife's younger sister like other young men of the same rank, and he was as insipid and uninteresting as Xue Yu himself. How could Yun Yang like him?

Xue Yu couldn't understand, but he grew increasingly displeased with Lu Jie. To keep his own heart from being troubled, he arranged a match for Yun Yang, swiftly marrying her off to Lu Jie.

***

As the wedding date approached, Yun Yang noticed that her brother-in-law Xue Yu's temper became increasingly strange. She inwardly complained that empty-nester old men were difficult to get along with, then happily awaited her marriage.

Unexpectedly, one day, her brother-in-law blocked her path to meet Lu Jie. A strange smile appeared in his eyes as he approached step by step—"Yang Yang, how do you think I compare to Lu Jie? Who is better?"

Yun Yang looked at the man before her. He had shed his usual elegant indifference, and was actually dressed in her favorite red clothes, truly a uniquely handsome man.

With the self-awareness of someone reliant on others, she gave a sheepish smile, "Of course it's you. How can Lu Jie compare to brother-in-law?"

Xue Yu: Since that is the case, don't marry him, marry me instead.

Yun Yang: ???

• Considered a sweet story, both leads are clean (no prior relations), HE (Happy Ending).

• The male lead is not actually the brother-in-law; there is another hidden reason.

• The female lead is innocent and reckless like a little sun in the early stages, later learning to disguise herself and becoming a "green tea" enchantress. The early style is lighthearted; the later stage involves forbidden, bittersweet emotional struggle. The closest place to you is the farthest journey.

• Female Lead: *breathes*. Male Lead: She likes me and is very resourceful.

Vindictive black lotus female × Dark crawling yandere male

Dark/Taboo/Gu poison lust/Double crazy batches mutual love mutual kill/Hate sea love sky/Forced

To take revenge, Jiang Li took the innocence of a youth.

She planted a love gu on the pure and kind Miaojiang youth, deceiving him that the roots of love were deeply planted.

Night after night, they stuck together, entwining intimately.

Using the gu as a hook, her body as bait, and love as the name.

The youth was obedient and compliant, going mad for her.

But she didn't know that the youth who blushed at a slight tease during the day had a completely different appearance at night.

After she breathed steadily and fell into a deep sleep—

He obsessively traced her sleeping face, deeply sniffed her scent;

Wrapped around her body, leaving wet kisses.

Shedding the clarity in his eyes, dyeing them with possessive madness.

Finally, the gentle and obedient youth smiled as he slaughtered all her enemies for her, and she succeeded in her revenge.

On the night before the grand wedding, she disappeared overnight.

She thought they would never meet again, but upon waking, she found herself trapped in a scorching embrace.

Hot breath sprayed by her ear, and the voice came aggrieved: "Why doesn't sister want me anymore?"

She froze. Just as she prepared to flip her face and break ties, a chill ran down her back.

The pure and kind youth before her eyes was... the rumored ruthless Gu King?

The youth detected her guilt and realized he had been deceived.

He shed his pretense, changing from his past clarity, his eyes now阴鸷 and ruthless.

"After using me, you want to run?" He chuckled lightly, pressing a silver knife against her abdomen. "Run one more time, and I'll make sister into a gu vessel belonging only to me, okay?"

Reading Guide:

1. The male lead is a surface pure-emotion little dog but actually a yandere crazy batch. He self-brain supplements the entire love process. The male lead has a physiological liking (extreme love brain), but he is very perverted (stealing kisses, intense staring, sniffing, forcing). If you can't accept it, don't enter.

2. The female lead's moral底线 is flexible. She teases first then acts scummy, and even after being caught, she keeps acting.

3. The Miaojiang setting is magically modified with lots of private elements. The male lead can plant gu to control poisonous insects; it's fantastical and imaginative.

4. Chase-wife crematorium burns to ashes, but HE, SC, 1v1.

5. Read without using your brain. The plot line serves the emotional line (it's all about the two of them). Don't scold the characters; if you really can't hold back, scold the author.

She runs, he goes mad/Blackening imprisonment/Chase-wife crematorium/Male lead's self-destructive chase-wife/White-cut-black/After marriage love

Innocent sweet and clear little white flower princess × Surface gentle and elegant but ruthless yandere prince consort

Eldest Princess Ji Ling is getting married, but everyone in the capital is watching the show.

The princess is debauched and indulgent; it's said that during her prayer tour away from the capital, she kept countless male favorites.

But this prince consort is not only weak and sickly but also impotent.

Everyone guesses the outcome of this marriage.

Will the prince consort fail to serve properly and be divorced? Or will the princess keep male favorites right under his nose?

In fact, it all happened!

On the wedding night, as soon as Ji Ling's veil was lifted, she was pressed onto the bed.

Looking at Huo Xiliu's stunningly beautiful face, she was nervous all night.

So, she was soothed all night long by the words "Relax, Your Highness."

The prince consort was so vigorous... Who spread those rumors?

Beauty misleads people, and with the prince consort being gentle and considerate, Ji Ling successfully became a "fainted ruler."

When he wanted to bully others with power, she immediately backed him up!

When he worried about his frail body not serving properly, she immediately sought famous doctors everywhere!

Thinking it was a match made in heaven...

But after she jokingly said she wanted to take a male favorite, the next day he brought several beautiful young men for her to choose from.

After she angrily selected one and ordered him to dance all night, the first thing he said after guarding outside all night was: "Your Highness, are you satisfied?"

She awoke to the realization that he had never been moved by her.

From then on, she kept her distance, focusing entirely on investigating old matters and no longer getting close.

And he remained respectful and refined, as if everything was normal.

Until she stumbled upon the prince consort in secret talks with the confidant of the king she hated.

She finally understood completely that all the flattery and pleasing were just for utilization.

She immediately left a divorce letter and departed without notice.

At this point, the crowd's predictions came true.

But the prince consort didn't compromise; overnight, he brought people to take her back to the residence.

He shed his past gentle jade-like demeanor, obsessively trapping her on the bed night after night: "Doesn't Your Highness like the minister like this?"

The prince consort is a madman...

In the study, she found her missing undergarment, with traces of it being fondled by someone.

In the back garden, she dug up bones resembling the person who danced that night.

She watched with her own eyes as he coughed up blood and drank a pot of deadly poison.

Even more, he wasn't Huo Xiliu at all...

Male lead's perspective:

She is light.

Reading Guide:

1. SC/1V1/HE

2. Male lead goes kidney first then heart, chase-wife crematorium.

3. Beautiful, strong, and miserable without limits; bows down to the female lead. Truly sickly beauty, truly crazy batch. (Still an XP product)

One-sentence summary: Sister, you smell so good...

Theme: Oppose feudal superstition

Synopsis: Dark, controlling female lead VS honest, simple male lead!

Fang Zhiyue was a clumsy and honest man. After being sold into the Si family, although his wife soon passed away, he remained devoted to the Si family, caring for his elderly father-in-law and the daughter his wife left behind. Later, his father-in-law also passed away, leaving only him and his stepdaughter, Si Yao. He wholeheartedly focused on finding a husband for her and seeing her bear children. He never expected his stepdaughter to set her sights on him.

Si Yao was naturally cold and distant from family. Even when her birth mother died and her grandfather passed away, she couldn't shed a single tear. Moreover, she had a flaw: an extremely strong desire for control. Whatever she cared about, she had to completely grasp in her hands. She knew she wasn't normal. Fortunately, there were few things in this world that she cared about, and she had always known how to disguise herself, so no one ever noticed.

With her mother and grandfather gone, only she and her stepfather, Fang Zhiyue, remained in the family. She had given him a chance to leave, but he stubbornly insisted on staying, even saying ridiculous things about taking good care of her in place of her mother and grandfather, and seeing her marry and bear children. Si Yao scoffed, not caring. Since he wouldn't leave, then he could stay. The Si family didn't lack a mouth to feed him.

At first, she didn't care. But later, he haunted her dreams night after night, as if she were possessed. Si Yao's usually well-restrained desire for control completely erupted. She thought darkly, "If that's the case, then I shall possess him."

Jin Nan had a brother who wasn't truly his brother, Xu Zhiyuan. Jin Nan was the biological son who returned home at 15, while Xu Zhiyuan was the adopted son taken in at 11. They had conflicting interests, incompatible personalities, and both lived under someone else's roof, yet they relied on each other.

Over their long cohabitation, Jin Nan's jealousy and dependence slowly transformed, and he made his move. He restricted Xu Zhiyuan's freedom, sent people to "protect" his comings and goings, monitored and eavesdropped daily, constantly ensuring he knew the other's situation. Before he could gather the courage to truly make a move, Jin Nan finally discovered that Xu Zhiyuan wasn't unwilling.

("Don't give my gifts to others." "Did you forget there's still me at home?" "I need to correct something. Last night, I was the one who forcibly kissed you; you can't blame yourself.") It seemed they had a mutual secret crush.

Reader's Guide: Xu Zhiyuan (Gong) × Jin Nan (Shou). 1. An urban dog-blood melodrama with a 'Jack Sue' protagonist; romance takes precedence over plot. 2. The Shou is slow in intimate relationships and has a slight 'magnet for everyone' charm.

In her previous life, Gu Qingsheng, as a Princess Consort, married into the General's manor, only to discover that her husband harbored a "white moonlight" in his heart.

Later, when the "white moonlight" tragically passed away, she was framed as the murderer. Her royal residence was massacred, and Gu Qingsheng herself died from a thousand arrows piercing her heart.

—

After rebirth, Princess Changle seemed like a changed person. She no longer obsessed over General Chu Zhiyao; instead, she began to get entangled with Xu Qingyi, the Imperial Advisor of Jin Chu.

"Imperial Advisor, you are the moon in my heart, the sand in my eyes. I will certainly do anything for you, even if it means dying ten thousand times... Oh, Imperial Advisor, please look at me..."

Gu Qingsheng followed closely behind Xu Qingyi with a forced smile, determined to cling to this strong and powerful patron.

—

Xu Qingyi was a person destined by the Buddhist and Daoist paths, meant to be emotionless and desireless. Yet, in the previous life, when Chu Zhiyao came to propose marriage, he drunkenly broke into the General's manor, wielding a long sword and pointing it directly at his face.

"She can only be mine. You cannot take her, nor can you obtain her!"

—

Because he was born with a Buddhist seal, Xu Qingyi was pushed onto the altar as a sacrifice.

When he was sun-baked to his last breath, a passing little girl saved him.

"If you don't have a name, then call yourself A-Yue. My mother said that 'Yue' means 'heart's delight'."

From then on, a spark ignited in Xu Qingyi's heart, which had been wrapped in ice.

He swore: Through all lives and generations, he would ensure her happiness and protect her innocent kindness.

For her, if he could not become a Buddha, then he would become a demon.

Synopsis: This is a story about a beautiful and feisty, outwardly delicate princess of a fallen kingdom and a white-cut-black "crane-like" gentleman from an enemy state. It features a high-profile figure driven mad by love, a teacher-student romance, and textbook-level female teasing male. The original title was "My Sir Insists on Sneaking Around."

Everyone said that Mr. Qu from the Directorate of Music was like a crane on the eaves, naturally cold and aloof, strictly adhering to teaching regulations, with fingers untouched by worldly dust. Chu Qingluo was merely one of his many students, nothing particularly special.

Yet, when he taught the zither, he always liked to place his white jade ruler against her wrist: "Your finger bones are too stiff; how can you play 'Winding Softness'?" After everyone dispersed, she would hook her pinky finger into his palm, her eyes tinged with the red of a begonia: "Sir, would you teach me how to 'wind' my fingers?"

"Rule number ten of the Directorate: One must not... transgress." Chu Qingluo hooked his burning fingertips to her heart, her trembling lashes gazing into his cold, deep-pool-like eyes: "How about... Sir, you first teach me what it means to transgress?" The Sir gripped her misbehaving wrist, his Adam's apple subtly moving.

"So audacious, aren't you afraid I'll expose your identity as a remnant of the former dynasty?" "Sir wants to expose me?" Chu Qingluo's smile was like poisoned honey, her gaze at him full of meaning. "—Do you have the heart to?"

From then on, by day he was the upright and elegant Sir, and she was the gentle and respectful student. But when the class ended, beneath the jade desk, her wide cloud-brocade sleeves, like dark undercurrents of flowing clouds, quietly covered his plain white sleeve, slowly intertwining and caressing.

He gradually came to believe this was mutual affection and sought an imperial marriage decree for her. Before the Lingning Palace, the imperial edict shone brightly. Yet, she knelt gracefully beside the Ninth Prince, her eyes shimmering with tears. "Your Majesty, as you can see, this humble maiden and His Highness the Ninth Prince have long been in love... I hope, Sir, you will grant us your blessing." The entire hall was in an uproar; it was his first time losing his composure.

Later, Qu Hanjin intercepted her on the official road, his long robe reeking of alcohol. His jade crown was askew, with no trace of his former elegance. "Why must you go with him?" He bit her earlobe, every word steeped in blood. "You want to rebel... I told you, I can help you too."

Later, on the day of the grand ceremony, Qu Hanjin personally handed the longsword bestowed by the Emperor to his most cherished disciple. "The Imperial Seal you desire, the nine-layered palace you wish to burn, the old kingdom you want to restore... I will give them all to you." He bit the golden hairpin in her hair, letting the string of pearls brush his brow. "Now, it's time for you to claim me." (#I use the zither as a blade to cut down all those who have wronged her.)

[Mini Theater]"Everyone says Sir Qu is as bright as the moon and clear as the wind..." She traced his brow bone with her blood-stained fingertips, "Why must you insist on being my accomplice?" "I wonder how historians will write about Sir?" Qu Hanjin bit open the ties at the woman's neck. "They will write that Qu cultivated elegant music for half his life, and upon encountering a destined calamity, willingly broke seven strings for a beauty."

Reading Tips: This story features a beautiful and feisty, outwardly delicate princess of a fallen kingdom and a white-cut-black "crane-like" gentleman from an enemy state. It's a female-teasing-male teacher-student romance, but straight (BG). The female lead seeks revenge, and the male lead stands by, handing her the sword, with their tacit understanding at its peak. It has a Happy Ending (HE) and both leads are strictly chaste (SC). In the early stages, the female lead seduces the male lead for utilization, without true feelings. Later, she is relentlessly pursued by the male lead, with many subtle interactions in and out of class. The Directorate of Music in the text is a private institution established to revive the "Land of Propriety." Young ladies entering the Directorate are there to study, not to earn a living; they leave after a few months. The male lead is an official from the Ministry of Rites, a reclusive strategist (historically, zither players held very low status). This novel doesn't have much political intrigue; it mainly focuses on romance, supplemented by revenge. There's no need to delve deeply into the political parts.
