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.

Strange
Xueyue wished she hadn't agreed to watch the painting tournament. From a distance, she witnessed Bai Tianai being guided to a wooden platform. Colorful mats were laid on the polished wooden boards where a few low tables were evenly spread out across the platform. There was every tool imaginable for painting and everyone only had as much time as it takes for one incense stick to burn completely.
Xueyue could spot her sister from a mile away. Bai Tianai was being guided by Zheng Leiyu who hovered closely over her as he helped her onto the platform. He smiled at something she whispered to his ear. He was possessive of her, never once leaving her side until the drum signaled the beginning of the tournament.
Xueyue knew where the Bai Family tent was set up. Because their daughter was performing, they had the best view of her, as well as the royal family.
"Oh, darling, where are you going?" Duchess Wang Qixing asked when Xueyue abruptly stood up.
"To uhm, get some pastries."
