The mighty official, Huo Jue, wields immense influence.... more>>

People who sent him money, jewels, and various rare items wanted to cross his threshold.

Of course, some also sent him women.

One day, someone happily presented him with a married woman, “It’s said that this woman was once engaged to the Lord. Later, when the Lord’s family fell into misfortune, she married someone else. Now she’s sent to the Lord. Lord can do as he pleases.”

Everyone thought that the woman who had abandoned Huo Jue would meet a bad end in his hands.

No one knew that ten years ago, a girl traveled thousands of miles alone just to tell her former fiancé, who had suffered palace punishment, “In this life, there is more than one path to take. It’s just a matter of choosing another path. It’s difficult, but you must keep going and live your own life.”

Her former fiancé said, “Okay.”

The girl cried and said, “Then I’ll go back and get married.”

Her former fiancé said, “Okay.”

Since then, she has been the cinnabar mole on his heart, unfathomable and untouchable.

It hurts when thinking of her, and pain by touching her. <<less

Shen Hanxing enlisted in the military at the age of seventeen, suppressing the chaos of the sixteen states and expanding the territory of Dongning with unparalleled success. However, a nefarious conspiracy unfolded, leading to the crippling of both his legs and the infliction of a mysterious poison upon him. His elder brother fell off a cliff, his fate unknown. ... more>>

Rumors spread that Shen Hanxing became cold-blooded, bloodthirsty, and brutal. Everyone avoided him as much as possible.

The emperor chose a wife for him, and the illegitimate daughter of the Lin family, Lin Xingxue, was deemed compatible with Shen Hanxing based on their astrological signs. With an imperial decree, Lin Xingxue married into the residence of Jinning Hou as a celebratory event during illness.

On the day of the grand wedding, he sat in a wheelchair, looking towards the young girl with an indifferent expression.

Lin Xingxue suppressed her fear, held onto his hand, wrote the characters for “husband” on his palm, and silently said his name with her lips.

The skin on her fingertips trembled faintly as she, both frightened and determined, moved closer to him. Her pair of eyes were pure and clear.

Afterwards, the imperial physician asserted that he had at most one year left to live. Lin Xingxue waited until there was no one around before daring to cry.

Shen Hanxing listened outside the room for a while before finally pushing the door open. The young girl’s eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn’t dare let him see.

He took a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on her face, casually asking, “You don’t want me to die?”

“But if I live, you’ll have to stay by my side for the rest of your life. Are you willing?”

“Willing!” The girl’s voice was firm, without a hint of hesitation.

Shen Hanxing chuckled lightly. Perhaps he believed it, perhaps he didn’t.

Later, he indeed fulfilled his words from that day. They became inseparable, sharing their lives together until death did them apart.

He seized control of the world, transferring the power from the ruler. Holding her hand with determination, together they ascended to the highest position, causing everyone to bow before them. For the rest of their lives, no one dared to disrespect or mistreat her again; just as he had vowed to protect her for a lifetime.

I, as a human, have died, yet I am reborn in ancient China.

Imperial Princess Yuxi tumbled off her horse, suffering a severe head injury that left her with memories only from before the age of twelve, evoking... more>> sentiments of pity among the court officials. To everyone's surprise, Princess Yuxi herself found solace in this new reality. Awakening to find herself the Crown Princess, second only to the emperor and above ten thousand others, with her imperial younger brother doting on her, she felt quite content. However, there was one peculiarity: at twenty-two years of age, she was without a consort. Determined to rectify this, Princess Yuxi resolved to find herself a husband. During a palace banquet celebrating longevity, her gaze fell upon an exquisite man, as if descended from the heavens, whose countenance shone with a warm smile yet betrayed cold depths within his eyes. Satisfied with what she saw, the princess sought him out even before the feast concluded. "Are you married?" The man replied with gentle humor, "Not as of yet." Perfectly pleased, Princess Yuxi nodded. "Tomorrow I am to visit a temple to offer incense; I expect you to escort me." The man hesitated, his gaze momentarily intensifying, "Your Highness has suffered a serious fall; perhaps it would be best to summon the imperial physician another day." His tender concern and attentiveness won over Princess Yuxi, who insisted he must come to the Princess's Mansion. But no sooner had her joy lingered than someone informed her that the man she had just approached was none other than the Prime Minister, Fu Anian, from whom the Princess had recently divorced. Princess Yuxi: ... So it wasn't that she lacked a consort; rather, she had been divorced. Reading Note: 1: The female protagonist's initial initiative is driven by her desire to uncover the reasons behind the divorce. She never declares that she will marry no one but the male protagonist. Please refrain from characterizing her actions as desperate or clingy.

However, when she turned around, she fell into that person's embrace, pretending to be in pain. Mei Shuyu found it very strange that the girl who used to boss him around was now clinging to his sleeve and acting coquettish. Having grown up surrounded by dark and dirty affairs, his heart was filled with darkness. But in the depths of his heart, Liu Jiyu remained clean and pure, someone whom he couldn’t reach up to. She was the light he couldn't touch. Whenever he tried his hardest to grab a hold of her, she would just sweetly smile at him and say, "I caught you!"
"You... just accept my apology, and that's it." The girl in front of him stood gracefully, her wet apricot eyes gazing back at him. Beneath those beautiful eyes was a prominent crimson mole. The young man's adam-apple moved, his hand clenched tightly in his sleeve, and he calmly looked at her. "How do you intend to apologize?" The girl's fair face wrinkled into a frown, she started to blush as she stuttered, "I... I can... give myself to you, is that okay?" With those words, the young man's eyes deepened, then his cold thin lips covered hers. "I have been waiting for this day for a long time." <<less

Shen Yourong, as the eldest daughter of the Duke’s household, engraved the word “propriety” into her bones. Her words and actions never faltered. She neither harbored secret affections at a young age, nor engaged in the childhood antics of love-hate relationships. Moreover, she never encountered any strange encounters while traveling, smoothly embodying the epitome of a noblewoman.... more>>

The only hiccup in her otherwise flawless life was her marriage, which didn’t go smoothly. Despite discussing marriage with her nephew, she ended up marrying her uncle, which was quite embarrassing.

The Emperor, advancing in age, favored the fourth prince, Ji Chengyao, for the heir position. The fourth prince’s foster mother, Lady Shu Fei, hinted at a marriage alliance between Shen Yourong’s maternal family, the Duke of Qi’s household, and the fourth prince. Both overtly and covertly, they suggested that Shen Yourong should befriend the fourth prince.

Ji Zhuo always felt that Shen Yourong, this so-called model noblewoman, was not as genuine as she appeared. A noblewoman who seemed diligent and earnest shouldn’t be casually snacking on melon seeds while watching the fourth prince flirt with other girls, as her family tried to curry favor with him. <<less

Upon waking up, she found herself transformed into the Pure Consort of Emperor Qianlong’s harem. Not only was she 32 years old, but she also had an eight-year-old eldest son, a son barely two years old, and, oh, a new-born daughter who hadn’t even reached a month old yet. It’s utterly heart-breaking.

To make matters worse, historically, this Pure Consort only lived to be 47 years old! And her children suffered even more! Her second son passed away at the age of 47, her eldest son at 26, and her youngest daughter at 23…

Save me! Save me!”

“Emperor Qianlong lived to be 87 years old, and there were several concubines in his harem who managed to live past 70, with some even outliving Qianlong by an additional two years.

Upon calming down and carefully considering it, although the harem may be wicked, as long as one earnestly perseveres and takes good care of their health, perhaps one could still live to a ripe old age of 99… as a seasoned old salted fish.”

A popular Xiangsheng performer Mo Songyan traveled back to ancient times.

Fortunately, he has a beautiful husband, but unfortunately, he can't speak.... more>>

Xiao Changyu stuttered since childhood and kept pretending to be mute to avoid being laughed at.

His parents coveted the dowry of the Mo family and married him off to Mo Songyan.

Shortly after marriage, their stepmother kicked them out of the house under the excuse of splitting the family in order to seize the family's wealth.

The two of them wandered the streets penniless. How could Mo Songyan let the beauty suffer with him?

Looking at his husband, who is as proud and soft as a cat, he decided to return to his old job as a Xiangsheng performer.

So what if there is no Xiangsheng in the present dynasty? Just make up a high and noble one's life experience for Xiangsheng;

So what if he was excluded by his peers? He will strike back at them with dimensionality reduction, letting them accept the defeat with conviction;

What should you do if your stepmother maliciously frames you? Use public opinion to send the evildoer to jail.

……

As he works hard, his husband's attitude towards him also changed—

At first, when he told jokes, Xiao Changyu either rolled his eyes or shed tears.

Mo Songyan: Mariana Trench career?

Later, when he told jokes, Xiao Changyu's blank stare turned into anger.

Mo Songyan: How can this glance make people feel ecstatic?

Later, a fanatical fan blocked him against the wall. He was about to push his way though, but was caught by his husband.

Xiao Changyu was so angry that he blurted out, "Divorce!”

Mo Songyan hurriedly chased after him: "Brother Xiao, it's a misunderstanding! Eh? No, you can speak?”

How could he bear to divorce?

It was only after he coaxed the person back that he realized that Xiao Changyu was not mute but had a stutter.

So, Mo Songyan began teaching Xiao Changyu pronunciation skills to help him overcome his stuttering disorder.

With his efforts, Xiao Changyu was finally able to speak fluently.

One day, the mountains and forests were covered with bright red maple leaves.

The two stood facing each other, their breaths mingling. Mo Songyan asked, "Brother Xiao, who am I to you?”

Xiao Changyu blushed. "Husband.”

Mo Songyan continued to ask, "What else?”

Xiao Changyu's ears were stained red. "Xianggong.”

Mo Songyan smiled evilly and asked again, "What else?”

Everyone said she was merely a pretty face without substance.

On the second day of her transmigration into the imperial harem, Jiang Xinyu regained the emperor's favor.

From then on, she held the emperor's heart firmly in her hands.

She fought monsters and leveled up, rising from a noble consort all the way to the honorable imperial consort, basking in unwavering favor.

Emperor Xuan Wu: At first, it was lust at first sight, but later I became truly captivated by her charms. Who knew this woman had so many more faces that I was unaware of?

The boy nodded shyly. It seemed like a good agreement. For starters, wildcats were skilled hunters. She had also heard they were good at swimming.

‘Now I can eat meat and enjoy as many fish as I want.’

Since Sohwa hadn’t properly learned from her mother, she was clumsy at hunting. She barely remembered the last time she had eaten meat. Having a nimble wildcat friend seemed reassuring.

“We should start by changing that title. No more ‘mistress’; call me Sohwa.”

“Sohwa.”

“Yes, that’s much nicer to hear. Then I should call you... hmm.”

The palace walls have great depth, reflecting a deep vermilion. In the harem, power and position are always linked to the Emperor’s favor. The overt and covert fights between the concubines are just like the frigid winter, so cold that it reaches the bottom of people’s hearts.

The Ula Nara family background once brought supreme honor to Qingying, Hongli’s Secondary Consort. After Hongli ascended the throne, the shifts in power in the harem and the court made her identity awkward, as though there was a target on her back. To protect herself, Qingying asked the Empress Dowager to bestow a new name, “Ruyi”, and was granted the position of Concubine Xian. She lived in Yanxi Palace and was at the time bereft of power.

but Qin Zheng, an engineer dispatched to a foreign country, didn't get the script for a palace drama, nor did she have the chance to experience the luxurious life of a Princess Consort.

Because, the nation had perished.

A eunuch held three feet of white silk and said, "Your Highness, the city has fallen. Please leave with dignity."

Qin Zheng: "..."

What kind of beginning was this?

In order to avoid being forced to commit su*cide, Qin Zheng had no choice but to go to the bed of her half-dead husband, the Crown Prince, and pretend to be deeply affectionate, shedding a few tears to delay time.

Emperor Chu Chengji, founder of the Great Chu Dynasty, was valiant and skilled in warfare.

He conquered the northern barbarians and drove out the southern savages, ushering in the prosperous era of Xuan Chu.

He spent his entire life in battles, without a wife or concubines.

Consequently, after his premature death, only a young scion from a collateral branch was selected to succeed him.

He departed during the peak of his prosperous reign, only to open his eyes and find himself at the time of his nation's demise!

He was reincarnated as the current Crown Prince, his own nephew of many generations.

Learning that the territory he had opened up in the past was directly lost, the Emperor of the founding dynasty couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

How useless were these descendants?

Back then, he could establish this long-standing empire single-handedly, and today, he could rebuild it!

As for this stunningly beautiful Princess Consort, who cried so pitifully in front of him, the Emperor of the founding dynasty was extremely disdainful:

"Women would only hinder his speed of restoration!"

Later, the Emperor of the founding dynasty would knock on the door of the Pepper Room every night and ask, "Azhen, can I come back to sleep?" <<less

An elderly woman's voice. So this was the old woman with the golden eyes. An intense heat radiated from her breath, a little ragged with tension. A shiver ran down his spine.

There was a strong life force in that old woman.

"I am not the one you should be doing this to."

"Are you the son of a noble house?"

A rough, hoarse voice was his preference. The sarcasm was intriguing, and he found himself wanting to play along.

Gu Yun: “…”

National treasure-level scientist Pei Shu transformed into the uneducated heir apparent of the Duke.

After dying of overwork in his previous life, Pei Shu thought he could finally retire and just lie down like a salted fish.

Unexpectedly, the original man owed gambling debts. The Duke was so angry that he deposed his son and was kicked out of the Duke’s mansion along with his newlywed wife.

A small village, three little maids, the fields on the left and right are not sheltered from the wind.

This forced him to stand up.

So what if he is uneducated and skillless? Look at him inventing a rice transplanter and an autumn harvesting machine, which can cultivate ten acres of land.

So what if no one cares about it? Increase grain production, build roads, and build reservoirs. There is more than one way out in the world than studying.

It’s just that his wife always looks at him like that.

When Gu Yun saw the rice transplanter, he was not surprised like others, but asked: “The rice transplanter is good, but how did you make it?”

Pei Shu who is illiterate, has never read, and has never even worked in the fields: “…”
