Tempting Charm

Yan Jiarou has a secret: she needs to taste the Third Prince's blood periodically. She has lived in the palace for a long time but is not of royal blood. Her father died saving the Imperial Consort, and in gratitude, the Emperor granted Yan Jiarou the title of princess, raising her in the palace from childhood. She grew up with the princes, like childhood sweethearts.

Although she was living under someone else's roof, the Emperor treated her very well, and most of the princes doted on her, which led to her spoiled and willful personality. Everyone in the palace indulged her, except for one person.

—The Third Prince, Xiao Che, possessed an exceptional appearance, surpassing all other princes. However, he was unconventional and unrestrained, always opposing her and delighting in teasing and provoking her. Jiarou detested this Third Prince the most; her affection naturally lay with the First Prince, Xiao Jue, who was as radiant as the moon and gentle and courteous, her 'Crown Prince brother'.

During a hunt, she was bitten by a wild fox. After that, she contracted a strange illness. A deep, inexplicable restlessness would surge from within her, making her uncomfortable. Only by taking a specific medicine could she find peace, and one of the key ingredients was crucial—blood.

Unfortunately, only Xiao Che's blood could make her intensely fascinated.

Crown Prince Xiao Jue recently noticed that his 'sweet and delicate' imperial sister, who always called him 'Crown Prince brother' and trailed behind him, had become distant. Instead, she was growing closer to Xiao Che, whom she used to dislike the most.

He felt uncomfortable and followed the two one day to a rockery in the imperial garden. There, he saw his beautiful and delicate imperial sister pinning Xiao Che against the rockery, standing on her tiptoes and leaning by his neck. A trace of crimson at her lips stood out starkly against her porcelain white face—it was blood!

And his Third Brother, who always opposed her, was currently cupping her waist, lightly biting her earlobe, and murmuring lazily in a magnetic voice, “Yanyan, slow down.” “Don’t forget what you promised me—that after using my blood, you would stay away from the Crown Prince, hmm?” The Crown Prince, hiding behind the rockery and witnessing everything, had his eyes split with rage.

Yan Jiarou was greatly troubled by this strange illness, but what troubled her even more was that the illness was progressing. Initially, it was just blood, but later it would be...

The second work to be written: "Woven Heart"

Jiang Wan, born into a prestigious family, lived a life of luxury and doting affection from childhood. She thought her life would continue smoothly until she accidentally discovered she was not the true daughter of the Duke's mansion. Someone had swapped her and the real young master, and her true lineage was that of a lowly coachman's daughter, who was addicted to gambling and often abused his wife and daughters.

If Jiang Wan were to reclaim her rightful heritage, she would fall into an endless abyss. Moreover, the real young master, Qi Ji, had been adopted and now held a distinguished and radiant position, the dream lover of many noble ladies in the capital. He had everything, and switching back would have no impact on him, but it would be different for her; once switched back, she would have nothing.

She decided to keep silent, burying this secret in her heart forever. However, she did not expect to hide it from everyone except Qi Ji. To prevent any leaks, she had to beg him. The once arrogant and willful Miss Jiang now humbled herself, prostrating herself at his boots, her beautiful and fair face streaming with tears, making her look pitiful—

“Qi Ji, I beg you… Our families are old friends, you can still visit the mansion often and see your parents…”

Qi Ji sneered, his boot tip lifting her chin, his tone indifferent and aloof: “But why should I help you?”

Jiang Wan steeled herself, her delicate hand gently resting on his knee, her voice sweet and melodious: “Qilang…”

Qi Ji slowly raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

Although Qi Ji came from a prominent background, his parents were extremely strict with him. He had never experienced parental affection, and beneath his radiant exterior lay a detached and cold heart. To Jiang Wan, he saw her merely as a spoiled noble daughter, arrogant and foolish, with only her appearance being somewhat noteworthy. He originally despised such people, and the only thing he envied about her was that she had parents who doted on her fiercely.

But it turned out that this life was rightfully his, and Jiang Wan had stolen everything. Now, she shamelessly came to ask him to keep the secret for her. He agreed, just to see how far she would go.

However, no matter how he humiliated her or sought revenge, she endured it all, coaxing him with good temper: “Qilang, don’t be angry…” He thought Jiang Wan would always be at his whim until the day the truth was revealed and their true identities came to light. Seeing the look of relief on Jiang Wan's face, he panicked for the first time. He had a premonition that something was gradually slipping from his control, and he realized that the one who feared the exposure the most, from some unknown point in time, was no longer Jiang Wan.

As the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Xie Wanning had to disguise herself as a man and enter the palace as the Crown Prince's companion due to the mysterious disappearance of her twin brother just before he was summoned to the palace, in order to prevent disaster from befalling her family. The Crown Prince, Helan Heng, was wild, unruly, and defiant of discipline. It was rumored he had driven away a renowned scholar of the time.

The Emperor and Empress were extremely worried. Knowing that the Grand Tutor's son, Xie Wanxing, possessed a jade-like character and proper demeanor, they specifically ordered him to enter the palace as the Crown Prince's companion to advise and guide him. The imperial edict was difficult to disobey, so Xie Wanning had to brace herself and constantly restrain and advise the Crown Prince.
