The Rise of Xueyue
"What do you want from me?" "Everything. Your soul, your body, your heart, but above all, I want you. Come to me, and you will be sheltered from every storm and hurricane that might come our way." - - - - - Like every pitiful protagonist, Xueyue's life was riddled with unfortunate events. An aloof birth mother? Check. A crazy father? Check. An older sister with a superior complex?Double-check! Through a twist of unfortunate events, Xueyue was sentenced to death by beating. And no, she did not reincarnate to a better life. Offered the opportunity to have a new identity, Xueyue eventually found herself colliding paths with a mischievous and fearsome, but devilishly handsome Commander who'd stop at nothing to acquire her heart. Will he succeed in doing so? Sly. Vicious. Ruthless. The very whisper of his name was enough for soldiers to abandon their weapon and armor in the battlefield. Yet, this merciless Commander found himself on wits-end with a sharp-tongued woman that turned his entire world into beautiful chaos. Many say love is a fleeting emotion, but to them, love is a constant devotion. - - - - - [WARNING: THERE IS MATURE CONTENT IN THIS STORY.] Note: This is an ORIGINAL story, and not a translation.

Bruises
"Your Grace!" A handmaiden dashed down the hallways before dropping to her knees in fear. The double doors to the Empress's estate parted open, but the entrance was blocked by a maidservant.
"Such insolence and this early in the morning too!" the Empress's maidservant barked out irritably. "Speak! What do you want?"
"L-Lady Ge Beining, s-she has been poisoned with aphrodisiac!" Lady Ge Beining's handmaiden pleaded out with shaking eyes. "Lady Ge Beining saw the five intruders in her room and escaped from her bedroom window to search for help, but then someone came up from behind her and force-fed her aphrodisiac!"
"What did you just say?" the Empress harshly demanded from the doorway.
The Empress glowered at the handmaiden. She was informed of the unfortunate incident yesterday and how the Crown Princess was poisoned at Lady Ge Beining's estate. If Lady Ge Beining was also poisoned yesterday, then why didn't she hear about it?
