Cold Protagonist
Walking with a Lantern, Guiding Souls, The Marquis’ Lady Returns from the Underworld
Criminal investigations, soul-ferrying powers, a formidable partnership, and a slow-burn romance.
Everyone knew that Ren Fengjue, the Young Marquis of Renxuan Marquis Manor, was an exceptionally capable man. At a young age, he was already a high-ranking court official and one of the Emperor’s most trusted favorites.
With an illustrious background, striking looks, and both brains and brawn, he seemed to move through life without ever meeting an obstacle he could not overcome.
That changed the day a woman claiming to be his fiancée appeared at his door and opened with a sentence that left him stunned.
Xia Ximo: “Write me a letter of annulment.”
Ren Fengjue: “???”
At first, Lord Ren was buried in official duties and had no interest in romance. If she wanted out of the engagement, so be it. He had never intended to marry in the first place.
Later, after one twist after another, the way he looked at his fiancée changed completely.
Ren Fengjue: “I have already petitioned the Emperor for a marriage decree. If we annul the engagement now, it would count as defying an imperial edict, a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations.”
Xia Ximo: “???”
Beauty’s Grave
Pei Qi traded cities for a beauty, a grand gesture that became a legendary romance. Unfortunately, I was not that beauty, nor was I Pei Qi; I didn’t even know him.
My husband was merely a soldier defending the city. Because he refused to surrender, he died in that war, though the city was ultimately held.
The following year, when Pei Qi traded cities for his beauty, I became that beauty’s Foot-washing Maid.
