Taking a Concubine

[This novel is complete and currently being revised and bug-checked. Feel free to check it out!] My new novel next door, "The Funeral," is now available. It's related to folklore and horror. If you're interested, check it out! Yu Shu was a spirited and ambitious young woman, admired and basking in the limelight. However, when she was about to marry, her family was convicted of a crime. The men were beheaded, and the women were exiled. The once pampered young lady suddenly became a prisoner. On her way to the border, she saw a lady sitting in a luxurious carriage, dressed in a fine coat, with phoenix eyes and a white jade pipe in her hand, looking at people with cold indifference. She was choosing a concubine for her master. In a moment of impulsiveness, Yu Shu, desperate for a way out, knelt before her and pleaded, "Please, Madam, have mercy. I will serve my master and madam well." The lady lifted her chin, took her home, and made her a concubine to bring good fortune to her paralyzed master. The servants in the manor all pitied her for entering the household only to live a life of widowhood, but none of them knew that in the dead of night, she was truly serving the mistress. Only she knew how cold that white jade pipe was. A femme fatale x a scheming orphan girl. *No master, the master died long ago. *Happy Ending* Purely fictional, no real-life figures or historical events based on her. *I was just writing this to relax because I couldn't save up any more manuscripts next door—Pre-order dividing line— Synopsis of "After Becoming a Demon, I Offended My Master": Song Qixiang's master, Bai Qingshi, was the kindest person in the world to her. This aloof and ethereal beauty would take her hand, lead her back to the sect, guide her into the path of immortality, protect and pamper her in front of everyone, giving her the favoritism she had never dared to ask for. But in the end, Song Qixiang also died at her hands, pierced through the heart by an arrow, without mercy. Before dying, the usually frail and sickly senior sister took the sword given to her by her master, her face like a peach blossom, and said to her with a smile: Little Qi, thank you for nurturing my sword and helping me recover my cultivation all these years. "You've been a substitute for so many years, you're truly pathetic." Not far away, her beloved master was riding the wind away, without even a glance back. Song Qixiang's heart was ashen, and she died in despair and hopelessness. When she awoke again in a small fishing village, a hundred years had passed. Bai Qingshi had become the leader of the righteous path, with her senior sister always by her side, her status seemingly supreme. This time, Song Qixiang didn't hesitate; she turned to demonic possession, fighting her way to the Demon Palace. The once innocent and naive junior sister of the Dan Dynasty Palace had become the ruthless left protector of the Demon Palace. She wouldn't let these two be together; she would capture Bai Qingshi and find out who the substitute really was. —Bai Qingshi's most beloved disciple died a hundred years ago. When she heard the news of her death, she coughed up blood, stunned for half a day before finally snapping out of her daze. A hundred years later, the Demon Palace was ravaged. When Bai Qingshi saw Song Qixiang again, she had become a demon, ruthless and cruel. Bai Qingshi was somewhat shocked, having inadvertently fallen under Song Qixiang's spell during their fight. From then on, his dreams were filled with bizarre illusions, except for Song Qixiang, who remained clear-headed. Thus, Bai Qingshi clearly saw his disciple enter his dreams every day, tightly gripping his wrist, their intimate, submissive caresses accompanied by hoarse, aggrieved accusations: "Master, why did you lie to me?" *A cool, ethereal, and otherworldly older man (uke) x a cold, ruthless younger man (seme) *The seme was raised by the uke. *The seme's death is due to a misunderstanding, very melodramatic, with forced love, but not angsty. Theme: Breaking down feudalism and moving towards a new life.
