Once he returned to his youth, he looked at the orphan traitorous general who was trampled and humiliated by the spoilt royal children in the secluded courtyard. He remembered the mu*derous hero who broke through the city gate in blood and gore in his previous life.

Li Yuanmin sighed and quietly took the bruised child back to the palace to take care of him, hoping to eliminate some hostility from him and minimize the people suffering.

Years later, the great general who calmed down the frontier, returned to the court. The first thing he did was not to return to his residence, but to go straight to the inner palace. He personally helped His Majesty take off his shoes and socks and gently washed his feet.

But how did Mo Qi’s Mary Sue halo end up in his body! He is still a straight man who likes beauties! He definitely, definitely doesn’t want to turn bent! <<less

The Emperor was mediocre, and feckless. Eunuchs deceived those above them and kept those below them in the dark. Court officials patched up leaks left and right. Those doing evil were arrogantly savaging, and those doing good were helplessly sighing.

Rely on the water to eat, and rely on the mountain.

With her skills that exceeded the times, Yao Li quickly became the wealthiest person in River Bay Village.

She was determined to stick to her original aspirations – retire and live out her remaining years in peace.

But as a widow, there were many things at her doorstep.

Her maiden family coveted her wealth; local ruffians lusted after her beauty; the magistrate admired her talents; the prefect wanted to rely on her to build up his political achievements; the scholar admired her literary talent; the chancellor respected her breadth of knowledge…

Wave after wave, wearing down her doorstep.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China (around 1911), Major General Leng Feng, who had made great military achievements in Song Xi city, married the pampered young lady Qiao Han of the wealthy Qiao family who did silk business.... more>>

Leng Feng thought that Qiao Han was just a quiet and an innocent young lady. In this life, he thought they would treat each other like guests.

However, he never thought – on the wedding night, before consummation, she asked his help to bring her pajamas into the bathroom, swayed around in front of him in her thin silk nightgown that could be described as “equal to not wearing”, and even asked him if he wanted to go to the bathroom before consummating? From the white and tender jade like arm that she extented from the bathroom just then to the attractive female body with only the thin nightgown… Was this seducing him?

Whether she was seducing him or not, he just — wants to f*ck her.

In their passion, Leng Feng listened to the alluring moans and soft whispers of the girl under him and he could also smell the faint fragrance of the girl.

It seemed that this marriage was truly right. <<less

But then the Prince asked in a low voice, “Who bullied you? Do you want to tear him apart or kill his whole family? It’s all up to you ……” <<less

*The Four Great Female Constables – Book 1/4... more>>

Not all women in the world desire to fight for the position of the main wife.

Just like Bai Yuxiao who is very happy to be a concubine since she does not need to care about other things. Since she can sleep well, eat well, and live well, compared to the swords and shadows that lurk in Jianghu, the fight for power in the inner courtyards is like house wine.

When she is free and at leisure, she can also tease these women and she can also regulate herself mentally and physically ~ ~

However, this can only be used to pass the time. She still has to take care of her own important business. Although being a constable may seem dangerous, it could bring great wealth if exploited properly.

Who would have known that her husband, the Wangye who had not entered her bedchamber for two years, would suddenly look for her every day and cultivate on her every night! <<less

The Peng Society for Gentlemen — a secret friend-making club for the homos*xual men of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Upon paying a monthly fee of fifty coins, members could get themselves listed in The Pengornisseur after providing a self-portrait, a mailing address, their age and hobbies, as well as a self-introduction. All members would receive a copy of the monthly publication, and they could communicate with one another in private using the information in The Pengornisseur.... more>>

Wu Xingzi, a bachelor about to turn forty, worked as the adviser to the magistrate in Qingcheng County.

Qingcheng County was a place with barely any resources. In other words, it was poor. In the list of counties of the Great Xia Dynasty, it had been ranked at the bottom for the past two hundred years.

Wu Xingzi felt that his life was hopeless: not only was he a homosexual, he was also a virg*n. Even his retirement fund was lacking. Worse still, his looks were… forgettable.

He might as well die.

Hence, Wu Xingzi decided to commit su*cide on his fortieth birthday. However, he was unwilling to remain a virg*n to death! And so, gritting his teeth, he joined the Peng Society for Gentlemen and received The Pengornisseur. It was very painful; after all, fifty coins were the sum of his daily expenditure for ten days! He would only pay it once, and he was determined to succeed on his first try. <<less

The first time they met, he was a downtrodden prince everybody bullied whilst she was a small palace maid responsible for washing the clothes of the people in the palace.... more>>

Twenty years of companionship; he is the only one capable of influencing her emotions. For him, she is willing to immerse her hands in the blood of others, to help him rule this world.

Even though she wasn’t the one he loved, and she wasn’t the one he married, she insisted on remaining by his side, aiming to become the one and only woman capable of standing by his side whilst he held court and the one and only woman in his harem – even if doing so would cause her to get insulted by the entire world.

However, that person whom she loved so much, that person for whom she committed all sorts of preposterous acts for – wanted her to die.

He said, “In this lifetime, I don’t wish to see you ever again!”

She returned to him as a spirit, yet he begged for another lifetime together.

“If we have another lifetime together, I want you to love me and respect me from a very young age, and help me clear all the obstacles standing in my way. You would be forced to watch me love one, and marry another – but both of them would not be you. You must love me so crazily and so deeply that everybody knows about it, and yet you would never be able to truly receive my entire love and affection. On innumerable occasions, you would be misunderstood by me, and hurt by me. The only few tears you shed in your entire lifetime would be for me, and ultimately you would have to die for me. Even after you die, you would not be allowed to rest in peace – instead, you would transform into a spirit and return to my side… Only if you do all these, would you be able to compensate me for what I have done in this lifetime.” <<less

The once peerless beauty Murong Yan was imprisoned in a tower with her crippled body in tow, like a canary that couldn’t fly out of its cage. Therefore when she saw a foolish shadow guard inexplicably appear, she only took advantage of the situation to pass the time.

When the reckless shadow guard brought warmth into her heart that resembled eternal winter, she no longer thought there would be a reason to regain her former glory, nor a reason to take revenge, and because of a little shadow guard, it felt like anything was possible.

So when the person she had lost had returned to her, Murong Yan did everything to keep her, kissing the person in her arms frantically and whimpering, “Use me, as long as you don’t leave again.” <<less

Ning Qing put full effort. She had to show everyone that she would live a good life, give birth to a bunch of children and then the husband and wife would love each other for life.

However ... this time, everyone was right. She failed, and indeed a good girl like Li Shuangshuang was worthy of Chen Jili.
She admitted defeat!

She was a bad girl, so she should leave in disgrace and live the life that a bad girl should live. <<less

In Victorian England, occult practitioners and the Nightmen Police, who hunted occult practitioners, were at odds and engaged in a fight to the death. Legend has it that one of the occult practitioners was a mysterious merchant who ran the world’s largest underground black market in the occult arts, offering a variety of rare treasures.

Duan FeiZhou decided to stay away from the strife to avoid falling off the horse and became a salted fish.

On the one hand, crazy black market customers hope that the black market will close down as soon as possible. On the other hand, the Nightmen are negatively idle, hoping that he is quickly fired.
