The story takes place in ancient China.
The day my elder sister was appointed Crown Princess, I volunteered to marry the sickly General Wei Shuhan.
All of the capital laughed, saying I was picking up the trash my sister didn't want.
On our wedding night, I smiled lightly at my coughing, blood-stained groom.
"General, do you know you've been poisoned by three strange toxins?"
When he gripped my throat, I spoke even more shocking words:
"I wish to make a deal with you-wipe out my family for me, and I'll cure your poison and extend your life."
By the flickering candlelight, his eyes turned crimson.
"And if I refuse?"
I brushed my hand across his chest.
"Then the general will have no choice but to enter the underworld as a virgin."
Later, when the poison flared up, he pressed me against the medicine vat, his burning breath brushing my ear.
"The third poison... could it be a love curse?"

Dusk and Dawn
Title: Dusk and Dawn Author: Xin Yi Wu Publisher: bhzwy Year: 2014 / 22 chapters + epilogue Rephrased by: clover and toad Synopsis: She was the bird that wandered through his sky, he was the lonely island in her life "As long as I'm with you, you don't have to be afraid of anything." One sentence, like a spell, gripped the hearts of two people, and sealed the fate of three. Zhi An, dazzling like a blazing fire. Zhi Yi, gentle like still water. And Ji Ting, caught between fire and water, let down the gentleness of water, yet couldn't quite reach the flames. Maybe she actually could be touched. Only, she burned too fiercely. So most of the time, she could only be seen from afar. If he recklessly ignored everything, wouldn't that fire end up burning more than just himself? "Is it that you don't want to, don't dare, or... can't?" "You know what, Ji Ting? I look down on you." For the sake of revenge, and perhaps because she was simply too tired, Zhi An chose to walk away. But the farther she ran, the deeper her unease grew. Like a nightbird that keeps flying and flying and flying, the island in hdr heart was still there... but she didn't dare land. Only then did she realize, she had been rushing forward, too afraid to look back. Because if she did, if she turned around all of a sudden, maybe she'd never be able to find that boy again.Complete

Lin Qiyan was born into perfection - wealth, intellect, and a family name that demanded nothing less than obedience. When her parents arranged her marriage to Zhao Yichen, a stoic heir from another powerful family, she accepted without protest. Their relationship was built not on love, but on duty - a quiet coexistence wrapped in respect. But the morning after their wedding, Qiyan's life is stolen. Her soul is torn from her body, cast into a cruel world where she becomes a nameless girl with nothing but scars. Trapped with abusive parents and stripped of her identity, she learns what it means to suffer, to endure, and to break. Years later, when death finally releases her and she awakens once more in her original body, the world she knew has not paused for her pain. Her husband is distant, her family unchanged, and her heart no longer whole. Haunted by memories of violence and silence, Qiyan must learn to live again - to find warmth in the man who was once a stranger, and to rediscover love in the quiet between two broken hearts. A story of loss, healing, and love that blooms from the ashes - The Silence Between Our Hearts is a tender, heartbreaking journey of what it means to return, not as who you were, but as who you've become. --- If someone comes up with a better photo, please comment.

how to avoid the Empress wrath and discover her secret
In a realm where shadows whisper treason and the throne is carved from bones, Emperor Lièxíng-the Dragon of a Thousand Curses-rules with a grip that chokes the light from the world. His cruelty is legend, his paranoia a blade honed by betrayal. Yet when Shuyun, the Governor's daughter, steps into his court, veiled in secrets and defiance, even the tyrant's iron heart falters. Her eyes hold storms. Her smile cuts deeper than his swords. And her first words to him are not a plea, but a riddle: "You summoned a bride, but what if you've woken a ghost?" This marriage is no alliance-it's a trap woven in silk and starlight. Shuyun's past is a mosaic of buried truths: a childhood marked by an eclipse foretold in forbidden scrolls, a mother who vanished into myth, and a name the empire's oldest priests whisper only in fear. The Governor's loyalty hides a debt darker than blood, and Lièxíng's advisors warn of a legend-a queen who walked through fire and returned changed. But the emperor, cursed by his own hollow crown, cannot resist the enigma draped in his bedsheets. Why do the palace mirrors shatter when Shuyun passes? Who leaves cryptic petals-black lilies, symbols of a forgotten rebellion-on their chamber threshold each dawn? And what pact binds her to the phantom haunting the palace's western wing, where even the guards refuse to tread? As the court simmers with schemes and the stars align toward a cataclysm foretold, Lièxíng and Shuyun engage in a knife-edged dance of deception. Every touch is a lie. Every vow, a blade poised to strike. She unravels him-thread by thread-with questions that ignite forbidden memories: "Why do you fear the dark, Emperor? What claws at your dreams?" The empire trembles on the edge of a secret that could drown it in ash. Is Shuyun a saint cloaked in sin, a vengeance sworn on a cursed dynasty, or something older-something the gods themselves buried? And when the final mask falls, will the Dragon Emperor kneel... or burn?Complete
