His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

After a delirious first night together, Shi Guang found herself waking up to a cruel reality… a breakup initiated by him, ending their relationship! What? Why? How? These were the questions that bugged Shi Guang’s mind in the two years after he left without a trace. Just as she thought that she had finally managed to get over him, Lu Yanchen suddenly appeared before her and before she knew it, she had to get married to this man who had dumped her two years ago?! What? Why? How? These were the questions that Shi Guang were faced with after his mysterious appearance once more. Just what are Young Master Lu’s motives? Why is he always watching out for her even though he was the one that had dumped her? And worst still… What’s with that tsundere attitude of his…?! Translator’s Review: This is a really sweet novel about a couple that just annoys one another in the cutest ways. Lu Yanchen is a descendant of a powerful aristocratic military family. Cold, aloof, genius and sharp, this is a man that has it all – status, smarts and looks. But none of that matters when it comes to affairs involving his silly woman as everything melts away into an encompassing warmth. Purple-Red Beauty is someone that spends a lot of time building the settings of her novels. Earlier on, I too was rather annoyed at some of the things that Lu Yanchen did. But once the story gets on track… everything suddenly seemed even sweeter than before! If any of you have heard of the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss or have caught any of the many Japanese (Mischievous Kiss), Chinese (It Started With A Kiss) and Korean (Playful Kiss) drama reboots made for it, you will definitely love it! :P

Web novels are novels/stories uploaded or published on the web (if you couldn’t tell). They can usually be found on writing websites like Royalroad, Wattpad, or personal blogs. Occasionally they are available for free download in PDF forms, and other such file formats. They are not to be mistaken with light novels, that are officially published Japanese books. However, many popular light novels began as web novels before officially being published. There are many ways to publish a web novel. For example, Royalroad has an affiliate program that allows you to publish your story to Amazon, where people can purchase a copy of your novel, in its entirety, for Kindle or PDF. Typically web novels are uploaded in chapters, that can range from 500 to 7000 words long. With the more popular novels having hundreds of chapters and thousands of words per chapter. Web novels come in many different genres and multiple tags to further define them. There are very weird novels, very boring ones, and more often than not, absolutely amazing stories to be found on the web.

Light novels and web novels were two different types of literature. The main difference lay in the readers they targeted and the style of their content. Light novels usually emphasized storyline, character development, and entertainment for young readers. The storyline may be relatively simple, usually with adventure, fantasy, science fiction, etc. as the theme, the characters have distinct personalities, the plot has ups and downs, and there are certain elements of light humor. Online novels, on the other hand, emphasized the story, writing style, and plot structure for adult readers. The plot could be more complicated, with more sci-fi, fantasy, historical, urban elements, etc. The characters would be richer, and the plot would be more undulating. At the same time, web novels also paid more attention to writing and story structure, which required the author to have higher literary attainments and creative ability. Although light novels and web novels were different in terms of theme and style, both were important components of literature and had a certain literary value and influence.

His military achievements were extraordinary. He risked the world's condemnation to resist public opinion just for the sake of the descendant of that guilty minister, who had a new enemy. He allowed her to marry in white, set up a golden house to hide her beauty, and have supreme authority but only be a minister under the skirt of a withered flower. He also said how vicious she was, to actually play with that good boy in her palm for the rest of her life. Those who knew the truth might sigh,'There must be a reason for eating fruits.
