The Prisoner of Beauty《折腰》 / The Marquis is Innocent (君侯本无邪) Author: Peng Lai Ke (蓬莱客) In a time of war and ruin, Wei Shao, haunted by the fall of his city and the loss of his kin, rises from the ashes to restore the honor of the Wei clan. Feared on the battlefield, he turns from vengeance to peace-and proposes marriage to the Qiao family, once their greatest betrayers. His bride, Qiao Man (Xiao Qiao), is sent into the union like a lamb to the slaughter. Rumors call Wei Shao a cruel warlord; she steps into his world with caution, knowing love has no place in such a match. Yet beneath the cold walls of duty and pride, something unexpected blooms. She is not what he assumed. He is not what she feared. As danger closes in, they begin to rely on each other-her quiet strength, his unspoken loyalty. When war returns to their gates, it is Xiao Qiao who stands firm, protecting a people not her own. And in her, Wei Shao sees the one person who might heal what bloodshed has broken.

Original Title: 梅夫人宠夫日常 Author: Fu Hua Raw Link : Mei Fu Ren Chong Fu Ri Chang In this period Chinese novel, the charismatic and dashing female protagonist, known as the "big sister," encounters the male lead, who appears stern and upright but becomes tongue-tied in the presence of his beloved. The male lead is four years younger than the female protagonist, yet he is much more composed, reserved, and solitary, with no friends and a preference for solitude. Outwardly, he seems like an ordinary, even slightly frail, individual. However, he is actually a powerful Daoist adept at vanquishing demons and monsters. To the outside world, Mei Shilang is reserved and introverted, often perceived as aloof and difficult to approach. Yet, when it comes to the female protagonist, he is easily flustered and attentive. Both characters mistakenly believe the other to be an ordinary person, quietly adopting a protective stance towards each other, which is incredibly endearing. It is only after their marriage that they discover each other's true identities. Post-marriage, the story focuses on their sweet, everyday life together, filled with simple joys and sweetness.
