The Prince of Su Wang, Chu Ba Ning is not famous because of his great status and power, but because legend has it that whoever becomes his wife will be cursed to death, with no children to inherit his fortunes.... more>>

Ever since the Emperor betrothed Lu Shao Qi to Chu Ba Ning, everyone had predicted that she will not be living a long life. Even the biggest casino in the capital city would gamble and make bets about how she would die. The side-concubines gifted to the Prince of Su Wang would also cry and kneel to the ground to hug Lu Shao Qi’s legs, begging for her to not drag them to death with her.

Lu Shao Qi complains: Heavens! Is it easy to find a virtuous wife like me? Such a fortune and you don’t know how to appreciate it! <<less

There are three treasures in the imperial city: Me, my husband and my mother-in-law. ... more>>

Su Guifei¹ was favored and envied by countless imperial consorts in the harem. Chen Wang² grew up with His Majesty showing favoritism to him. However, anyone, who was more or less educated, would sigh with regret and say that this pair of mother and son were sure to come to a bad end in the future.

Ming Jiuzhu, who was about to marry Chen Wang: Really? I don’t believe it.

Chen Wang in Jiuzhu’s eyes: a beautiful and kindhearted little fairy boy vs. Chen Wang in the eyes of others: His Majesty and his favored consort’s hedonistic son.

Jiuzhu often wondered why people always gazed at her and Chen Wang with a ‘you are doomed one way or another’ look. Could this be the ugly side of jealousy?

Aiyah, the hearts of these people are so dirty.

Yuan Li was an excellent logistics personnel on the battlefield. One day, after transmigrating, he found himself in ancient times as the son of a minor official. With tears in his parents eyes, they sent him to Chu Wang Mansion to marry to drive away the evil spirits for the ailing young master of the Chu family.... more>>

On that day, Chu Hechao, the second son of the Chu Wang Mansion, returned hurriedly from the battlefield, still wearing his armor. Without even taking it off, he performed the ceremonial rites on behalf of his brother and paid respects to the heavens and earth alongside Yuan Li.

Yuan Li caught a whiff of the scent of blood and dust on Chu Hechao’s body, and his heart skipped a beat. He understood that this was a dangerous individual.

That night, Chu Hechao drank a cup of ceremonial wine with Yuan Li on behalf of his brother.

Yuan Li smiled gently and said, “General, please.”

As he held the wine cup, his fingers were as slender as jade, and his handsome face was adorned with long, fluttering eyelashes. Chu Hechao stared at him for a while, his expression a smile but not a smile, before raising his hand and downing the wine in one gulp.

Half a month later, the young master of the Chu Wang Mansion passed away, and Chu Hechao abducted Yuan Li, taking him on a horse and heading straight for the frontier.

***

Yuan Li continued to exert his efforts on the ancient battlefield.

He cultivated crops, raised cattle and sheep, cleared roads, and established medical facilities. Busy day in and day out, he fed the mighty army and comforted the wounded soldiers, turning the military camp into a better place. The generals treated him as if they were meeting their parents who provided them with food and clothing.

The only man who had brought him here wore a perpetual scowl, suppressing his anger. “I am the one you married, the one who drank the ceremonial wine with you, and also the one who shared the wedding chamber with you. Shouldn’t you be looking at me?” <<less

Not to mention that suddenly, he was marrying the sixth Demon King, Oda Nobunaga’s little sister, the one who was purported to be an unrivaled beauty?... more>>

All Meng Zezhi has to do is to live wantonly in these weird worlds.

Lin Yunwan is the legitimate daughter of the prestigious Lin family. As the marquis’ mansion is about to lose its title, she is married off to the eldest son, Lu Zhengliu.... more>>

On the day of their marriage, her husband coldly utters, “Marrying you was not my intention,” and then neglects her for a whole seven years.

She always holds onto a glimmer of hope for marital harmony, diligently raising the adopted son from the family clan.

Until the adopted son achieves success and fame, she is also exhausted physically.

She thinks her life is considered complete…

On her deathbed, the adopted son says to her, “Mother? She is my real mother!

You are just a cruel stepmother.”

Lu Zhengliu, with his humble (status as a mere “cousin” fit only to be a concubine), tells her, “You have occupied the position of the main wife for twenty years, it’s time to return it to Bao’er.”

Lin Yunwan dies with anger.

For twenty years, she dedicated herself but gave away everything, even raising the child for someone else.

It’s truly unbearable.

In her second life, she refuses to endure it.

If anyone dares to trample on her, she will make them regret it!

—

The wife of the Marquis’ heir died in a large fire.

It is said that the heir, Lu Zhengliu, was heartbroken to the point of madness.

At the same time, the most favored Huan Prince, Qi Lingheng, also acquired an elegant and noble royal consort. Some people noticed that the appearance of the Huan Prince’s consort was surprisingly similar to Lin Yunwan.

Qi Lingheng, with his deep and handsome face, showed a rare smile: Fortunately, someone doesn’t have a discerning eye; otherwise, how could I marry the beloved royal consort? <<less

Lu Gu got a marriage on behalf of his brother and married the fierce hunter in Qingxi Village. No matter how wronged he was, under the coercion of beatings, he was still put on the sedan chair. ... more>>

How could the Shen family gave up on marrying such a ridiculous thing. After a tumultuous fight, Lu Gu was brought back to the Shen family. He was ready to tremble and seek life.

Who knew that the days after marriage were far less difficult than he imagined, and he could even fill his stomach without having to be beaten. Shen Xuanqing also bought him chickens and ducklings, and built a fence in the backyard to raise chickens and ducks for him. Lu Gu squatted in the backyard and touched the chickens and ducks. After the panic, he was full of joy. Shen Xuanqing said that these were all his.

For the first time, Shen Xuanqing, who was about to go out was stopped by Lu Gu timidly, holding the corner of his clothes. He saw his little fulang showing a short and shy smile, handing over a small bag of fine flour cakes, saying that it was the food for him who was going into the mountains.

Shen Xuanqing was nibbling on the cakes expressionlessly in the mountains, but in his heart he was thinking that the little fulang was good and diligent. He looked good when he smiled, but he was too thin. <<less

Everyone praised Yin Hui as a noble lady, and Yin Hui did indeed marry into Prince Yan's mansion and became the Emperor’s granddaughter-in-law. ... more>>

But her husband came out early and returned late, and seldom spoke to her.

Yin Hui tried her best to warm his heart, but he brought back a widowed cousin to take care of. 

Yin Hui: No way! 

Husband: Go to bed first, we will talk about it tomorrow morning. 

The result was that on that very night, Yin Hui suddenly went ten years back in time. <<less

She just took a nap in the lounge, and when she opened her eyes, She turned out to be a fat rural girl who was illiterate in ancient times.... more>>

Not to mention that this girl likes to eat and slouch, but still acted like a village bully.

No one in the village wanted to marry her. It was not easy to finally buy a rich husband, but on the wedding day, the groom escaped.

In a rage, Her dad went down to the road and kidnapped a husband for her.

It’s just… Dad, isn’t there something wrong with the one you kidnapped?

After marriage, Su Pangya was very busy.

Busy transforming the bully dad and the bully brother.

Busy rescuing the beautiful husband.

Busy raising three little cute bullies.

Accidentally, she was so busy that she became the most powerful female marquis of Dayan! <<less

Xu He had been his sister's control group since he was a child. His elder sister was fair, juicy and good at giving birth. She was the heart of the Xu family, a flower in the village, and the talented people who wanted to marry her lined up from the village to the back of the mountain.... more>>

The little brother was only good at cooking, and he was busy from the stove to the field all day long, and no one paid attention to his disheveled face. People in the village talked after dinner, how the same parents had two very different children. With his sister as a comparison, it must be more difficult for He ge'er to marry. 

However, there were many young men looking for Xu He, but these people who got close to him were all to find out about his sister. Xu He had been used to it for many years, but recently, even Zhang Fangyuan, who was not doing business in the village, wanted to get something from him.

After inquiring, he tried to hide, but he was stuck on the way home, but the man said: "He ge'er, your cooking is delicious, and it will be even better if you are my fulang." <<less

Waking up from a deep sleep, Luo Jianjia realized that she had transmigrated into a novel titled “The Ruthless General Fell in Love with Me.”... more>>

The male lead was her husband, Chu Weilian, but the female lead… wasn’t her. As the original wife of the male lead, she was destined to commit adultery when her husband went out to fight.

Later, the male lead saved the future emperor on the battlefield, and his rank soared, turning him into a renowned general of the Great Li Dynasty.

Meanwhile, as the male lead’s gold-digging original wife, her fate was extremely tragic.

Looking at the dilapidated house in front of her, Luo Jianjia breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was still in the male lead’s hometown, and everything could still be changed.

Since she was here, she only needed to earn more money and patiently wait. When the female lead appeared a year later, she could smoothly divorce the male lead and leave with her money.

However, year after year passed, and the day when Chu Weilian became a powerful general ruling over the land and her dream to divorce him never arrived.

This story is lighthearted and full of foodp*rn, with no cheating, and sweetness all the way! <<less

Su Man-er had transmigrated into a period novel and became the male lead’s newly wedded wife in the '80s. He had spent every dime in his possession and more to marry her. The little delicate wife had previously heard that the male lead was impotent from the female lead. And so, she made a scene on her wedding day and had an affair on the third day!... more>>

Su Man-er transmigrated to the point in the story when the original owner was hiding in a hut with a man while the male lead and the villagers were waiting outside to catch them red-handed.

As the elite of the flower demon clan, Su Man-er didn’t even hesitate before she knocked the man out. Humph, a man like that wasn’t even worthy enough to touch her feet!

***

“Do you want your official female lead back?” asked Su Man-er. For some odd reason, when the words “official female lead” left her mouth, she felt a sense of unease, as though… as though there was a thorn stuck in her heart.

Chi YunChen looked at her profoundly and said, “If she was the one that I wanted to be with, I wouldn’t have sided with you during the hut incident. Su Man-er, now that I have married you, I will be responsible for you for the rest of my life. Unless you don’t want to be with me and don’t want to be my wife anymore.”

As long as she stayed, he’d be her loyal husband for life.

Su Man-er was touched by his words. Biting her lip, she hesitated on what to say.

On the other hand, he suddenly reached out, grabbed her on her shoulder, and said, “I have been frank with you. Isn’t it your turn now to do the same?” <<less

In her last life, everyone said that Su Ling had a good life, a matchless beauty born from a high family. Her father was the Great General of Zhen and her elder brother was a high official of the Supreme Court.... more>>

She was married to Prince Jin as his consort and two years later she became the empress of Great Zhou.

Nobody can compete with someone so honorable.

Like this, in the first year of Yanxi era, Duke of Zhen deserted the army just before the war, and so, the Su family was accused of treason.

Su Ling died in the back palace after giving birth to a son.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the daughter of a fifth-ranked grand scribe—Qin Ling.

Waking up from the dream, although she will no longer be concerned about the fickle man, she has no choice but to enter the palace once again for the child she had given birth to.

On the day of the draft, the emperor leans against the Dragon Throne with drooped eyes and without a word while rubbing his eyebrows impatiently.

Even while sighing, he never lifts his eyes once.

Until Qin Ling walks in, and with the exact same face as Empress Su, says: Wishing the emperor boundless happiness, good luck, and a long life.

Up the throne, the emperor suddenly raises his head. He looks absent-minded and the tea cup falls to the ground.

Desperately whispers: Ah Ling. <<less

Gu Yu Qi, a daughter born to a marquis household. She was beautiful with knowledge in both civil and military, and her kindness broader than the sky. It was love at first sight for her, and she insisted on marrying him and was happy even if she were to become a mistress. She worked hard to help him step by step to become the emperor.... more>>

But what happened to her in the end?

For ten whole years, she was humiliated and abandoned. Disheartened, she drank poison to end her life and set her place on fire, only to find herself back to when she was ten years old. It was the year she followed her mother into the capital. It wasn’t too late to change her fate.

If Yun Ke had any regrets in his previous life, then it would be how he always kept thinking about a woman who died decades ago. Because of that, before he died, he secretly had the woman’s ashes pressed beneath his coffin. As the emperor, he had the final say of everything under the sky. So how could he allow that woman to be arrogant in front of him? Even at his deathbed, he would crush her beneath him.

Who knew he’d be reborn again…

When the transmigrated girl meets the boy who was reborn, Gu Yu Qi simply wanted to yell at the sky. Just what are you playing at!? <<less

Wang Yanqing’s father died in battle. She was adopted as an orphan by the Marquis of Zhenyuan. She loved Fu Tingzhou for ten years and would go through fire and water for him. However, this woman carried a family history full of scars, and ultimately, Fu Tingzhou sought another woman to marry. ... more>>

Ten years of effort turned out to be a joke.

Fu Tingzhou accompanied his fiancé to buy incense outside the city, completely forgetting that it was Wang Yanqing’s birthday. On the road, they encountered an ambush and Fu Tingzhou became busy protecting his fiancée. While defending Fu Tingzhou, Wang Yanqing lost her footing and fell into a cliff.

After waking up, she lost her memory and only knew that she had to repay her gratitude. The man sitting in front of her bed smiled and reached out to touch her head: “Qing Qing, have you forgotten? You were plotted against by the Fu family and lost your memory.” We’ve always known each other; we were childhood sweethearts.

She didn’t know that the man sitting in front of her was the renowned commander of the Imperial Guards, Lu Heng. He was also an old enemy of the Fu family. He was the main culprit of the assassination attempt on Fu Tingzhou that resulted in Wang Yanqing falling off the cliff.

After Wang Yanqing was taken, Fu Tingzhou went crazy. Fu Tingzhou rushed to the imperial guards desperately. Just as he asked Wang Yanqing to leave with him, he was stabbed by her sword.

Fu Tingzhou looked up in shock to see her acting coquettishly with another person: “Older brother, I caught the Fu traitor.”

Wang Yanqing didn’t know that after she walked away, Lu Heng drove the sword deeper and smiled at Fu Tingzhou: “Thanks for taking care of Qing Qing for the past few years. What a pity. Now she is mine.” <<less

Tao Ti, a little taotie* cub, transmigrated and became the bride of the sickly crown prince who was meant to chase out his ill fortune, but ended up committing su*cide by ingesting poison. ... more>>

Met by the disgusted gazes of everyone in the Eastern Palace, Tao Ti was a little flustered.

Just then, the crown prince who was rumoured to soon die from illness comforted her, “Don’t be scared, I’ll give you a letter of annulment before I die, and return you your freedom.”

Tao Ti was stunned, “A-alright.”

Inwardly, she thought, “A gentle and beautiful man; I’m fine with this!!!”

Later——

When the crown prince was ridiculed, Tao Ti rolled up her sleeves to defend him.

When the crown prince was sick with a high fever, Tao Ti boiled the medicine herself.

When the crown prince’s appetite was poor, Tao Ti cooked, fried, steamed, and baked.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace: Safeguard the best crown princess in the world!

~

The prince of the outlying tribe was muscular and bold; he planned to abduct Taoti to the grasslands once the crown prince died.

The crown prince broke the prince’s leg, then, in the middle of the night, blocked Tao Ti.

Tao Ti’s voice trembled, “Your… Your Highness?”

The crown prince’s eyes were dark, and his smile was warm. “If I had known that you liked wild ones, I would’ve stopped pretending.”

*T/N: Taotie are ancient Chinese mythological creatures with an insatiable appetite, commonly emblazoned on bronze vessels. It’s now used as a term to describe gluttonous people. Written as 饕餮, it’s pronounced ‘Tao Ti’ in Chinese, which happens to be a homonym of the FL’s name, 陶缇 (Tao Ti). <<less

It’s said that the human world’s emperor is muddle-headed, so I decided to go to the mortal world and teach the bullied prince and support him onto the throne, to bring peace to the land.... more>>

The process was difficult, but I succeeded.

10 years later, when the young emperor was enthroned, black clouds covered the sky and tribulation lightning rumbled.

I stood outside the throne room and distantly gave him one last look.

He didn’t know what was happening outside and smiled at me, his pitch-black eyes were filled with a thousand words.

Then, I turned around and ascended.

I didn’t even give him a proper goodbye.

When I opened my eyes, it wasn’t the Heavens.

I blankly lay on the carpet of the imperial study room, and the eunuch beside me was submissively introducing, “Your Majesty, this is the remarkable beauty Prince Jin is giving as a tribute.”

From above came a familiar yet cold voice, “Prince Jin has spared no effort. Pity, that what We hate the most in this life is other people looking like… that person.” <<less

Time had caught up with the famine season. One must be sold to survive.

Jiang Yun Zhu pulled the shorter stick and was taken away by a human broker.

Seven years later, Jiang Yun Zhu's face was even brighter. She was dressed in rich clothes and surrounded by servants.

At this time, she was already the young madam of Marquis An Ping Manor. It went without saying, she was extremely honorable.

It turned out that the human broker sold her to Marquis An Ping Manor back then.

At this time, Jiang Yun Xiu's face was battered by wind and frost. Every day, she worried about firewood and rice.

After receiving the brocade handed over by her elder sister, Jiang Yun Xiu gritted her teeth until blood came out. If she was the one who was taken away by the human broker...

Returning to the day of drawing lots, Jiang Yun Xiu snatched the short stick first. This time, she wanted to be the one above others.

Jiang Yun Zhu smilingly took the long stick. She thought it was so easy to go from a maid to the Young Madam of Marquis Manor?

Note: The wealth and honor in the heroine's dream was earned by her own struggle, not by being sold.

Don't get sold, live even better! <<less

The youngest, silly fourteenth son of the Great Yan Emperor had reached the age where he should be given a separate territory now.

One year later, the watermelon presented to the Emperor as a tribute from Liangcheng which was from the west, was sweet and crispy. There was no one in the palace who did not love it.

Two years later, Liangcheng presented corn as a tribute to the Emperor. The yield was high, and the taste was good. No one in the country could resist liking it.

Three years later, Liangcheng defeated the barbarians and presented their prisoners in front of the imperial court. The people of the Great Yan were excited and their morale was greatly boosted.

Four years later… Everyone said that the fourteenth prince Ming Yu was a fool, while the little fatty Yu, who transmigrated with the golden finger, chuckled. Let’s see how you guys look at this fool building his own territory, then. <<less

“Chu Zhichen, it’s no use pretending to have amnesia after such a big accident,” the stranger said.

Shen Ruozhen was confused.

He had never heard of Chu Zhichen before.

But as he looked at the stranger’s face, he felt a sense of familiarity.

The phrase “偷风不偷月” is a Chinese idiom, and its literal translation to English is “Stealing the wind, but not the moon.” This idiom is often used to describe someone who is content with small gains and is not greedy. It implies that a person is satisfied with obtaining just a small advantage or benefit, rather than trying to achieve something much greater.

The phrase also has a more negative connotation. It can be used to describe someone who is deceitful or manipulative.
