The noble ladies in the capital all have a common moonlight in their hearts. Xie's eldest son, Xie Yun, is exceptionally handsome and noble.... more>>

But Sang Yao does not like him. It all started when she accidentally sprained her foot next to him. He could have reached out to support her, but instead, he casually dodged aside, watching Sang Yao fall, causing her to lose face.

Sang Yao: ╰（‵□′）╯

Sang Yao remembered this for a long time. Every time she passed by Xie Yun, she would snort in anger. But Xie Yun never looked at her.

Sang Yao: even more annoyed (｀Δ?）！

Until one day, Sang Yao happened to pick up Xie Yun's notebook, and when she opened it— Not only did it detail Xie Yun's infatuation with her, but there were also many romantic stories with the two of them as the main characters. What was even more outrageous was the love letters Xie Yun wrote to her, so rich in emotion, it was simply outrageous!

Sang Yao was furious and slammed the notebook shut, her face flushed red.

From then on, she looked at Xie Yun differently.

Indeed, even the most outstanding people have their troubles. Xie Yun, who seems to be able to do anything, is actually just a poor guy who loves her but doesn't dare to say a word to her in reality, and can only fantasize about her in his dreams every day.

Sang Yao has always been soft-hearted and occasionally takes the initiative to talk to Xie Yun. Xie Yun remained cold. Sang Yao: Just shy.

Later, there were changes in the clan, and Sang Yao had no choice but to seek Xie Yun. For Xie Yun, this was just a meeting that needed to be perfunctory.

He looked cold and said indifferently, "Miss, please leave, this matter has been settled." She knew this dog of a man wouldn't easily agree to her request. Without saying a word, Sang Yao went up and kissed him on the cheek, "Stop pretending, it's time to act." … In the silence, the two looked into each other's eyes. The once famous and always calm Xie Yun finally began to take this daring girl seriously. <<less

Liu Shu, the leader of the top four dandies in Jiangnan, spent his days in leisure, enjoying tea and wine without any seriousness. Upon learning of his engagement to the second son of the Shen family in the capital city, he wrapped up his belongings and ran away to a faraway place.... more>>

Unexpectedly, his journey didn't go well, and he encountered mountain bandits. Disheveled and in tatters, he knocked on the door of a farmer's house. When a man in coarse linen clothing opened the door and their eyes met...

Oh no, Liu Shu thought, pressing his chest; he's quite handsome!

--
Liu Shu saw a man who only existed in novels for the first time. Despite being impoverished, he was pure and unaffected, and even in dire circumstances, he remained elegant. Even when squatting by the chicken coop to look for eggs, he maintained his grace.

Liu Shu was deeply attracted to him. To pursue the man and live a good life, he resolutely took on the family's heavy burden. He farmed the fields, weaved cloth, carried water, and irrigated the garden, making this already less wealthy family even more prosperous.

Liu Shu: =.=

Strange, the more he cultivates this land, the poorer it becomes, but why is life getting richer and richer?

--
One day, Liu Shu decided to confess, "My dear, actually, my father is the richest man in Jiangnan, and I have an unreliable engagement. I'm supposed to marry the conservative and old-fashioned second son of the Shen family in the capital. He probably knows nothing, not diligent in physical labor nor knowledgeable in agriculture, and definitely not as good as you~"

After saying this, he fell into a strange silence for a moment. "...I am the second son of the Shen family."

"Also, who is 'My dear'?"

"???" <<less

In the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion erupted.... more>>

Qiao Yan woke up, bound to the strategist system with code 068, from the body of a dying girl amidst a field of corpses.

The system informed her that her goal was to become the top strategist in the realm.

Sitting atop a high mound of graves, she heard slogans in the distance proclaiming "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky will rise." Without hesitation, she allocated all her beginner points to her constitution.

System: ??????

Qiao Yan: Zhou Yu died at the age of thirty-five, Guo Jia at thirty-seven, Lu Su lived to forty-five. A strategist who laughs last lives longer than anyone else, like Sima Yi.

System: You make sense, but please put down the spear.

[Host has achieved achievement, dissuading Lu Bu from joining Dong Zhuo 1/1, progress reward has been sent to the backpack]

Qiao Yan: :)

The strategist system 068 felt that it had encountered a host that was not quite normal.

She applied to learn about farming and garrisoning.

Qiao Yan: Zao Zhi pioneered farming, was enfeoffed as a marquis, Zhuge Liang led a northern expedition, established farming in the front lines. A strategist who doesn't know how to farm is not a good strategist.

[Host has achieved achievement, persuading Qingzhou soldiers to join 1/1, progress reward has been sent to the backpack]

Qiao Yan: The three giants of the Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan clans won't accept me, so why not let me form my own clique?

[Host has achieved achievement, persuading Zhang Xiu to join 1/1, progress reward has been sent to the backpack]

She...

She...

Strategist System 057: I envy you. You've encountered such a proactive host. Has she become the top strategist in the realm?

In the stables, Qing Jiu rescues a young girl. This girl, with a stubborn streak, insists on following them. Qing Jiu allows her to stay, watching her grow day by day, only to eventually realize that what seemed to be a mere stubborn rock is in fact a precious jade.... more>>

Qing Jiu reflects, "Today I've found a seed, buried it in the soil, and nurtured it day and night with great care. Will a delicate flower bloom from it next year?"

In the depths of despair, Yu’er was given a helping hand. Qing Jiu's arrival was the first ray of light piercing through her darkness, and since then, she has stayed by her side. Even if she is as elusive as a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection on water, being a bit closer to her is enough.

Yu’er wonders, "Today, a bright moon settled in my heart. I chase after her relentlessly, day and night. Can I be closer to her next year?" <<less

Ruan Qing, a surgeon who died suddenly from working overtime, transmigrated through time and became a useless doctor in the Dayan Dynasty.... more>>

Not only was the original owner of the body a quack doctor, but he was also terrible with his education and turned the Second Imperial Prince into a cripple. As a result, he was sent to prison, interrogated fiercely, and almost died tragically.

Ruan Qing: "……What kind of damned opening is this?"

At this time, the system suddenly appeared: "Dear, the surgical system is now bound to you. It not only provides MRI, vaccine development, medical cosmetology, and other modern medical technologies, but it also drops various medical equipment and medicines from time to time!"

So Ruan Qing returned to his old profession and started practicing medicine in the Dayan Dynasty.

The first trial—testing the water: Huizhou was hit by a pandemic and a vaccine was developed to save thousands of victims.

Gradually moving on to his next case: For the deformed child in Liuhe Village, genetic diagnosis technology was used to avert his tragedy.

Now the confident third case: the Empress was strangely disfigured and the medical cosmetic treatment helped restore her youthful appearance.

After the nth case, Ruan Qing became completely famous in the capital and became the Imperial Physician of the Dayan Dynasty. The Emperor rewarded thousands of taels of gold and countless manors, but he declined them one by one. Every day, he would go back home to farm the fields and ate three meals a day cooked by a certain jealous man.

The key point was that not only did this jealous man have great stamina and often attacked, but he also always liked to cling to him desperately, calling him "wifey" in an aggrieved manner if he got scolded even just a little.

In this way, the little doctor was tricked into having one baby after another. Looking at the babies crawling all over the floor and their silly and cheerful father, Ruan Qing (shrugged) said: "I can’t help it, my husband is too clingy."

*

Xiao Ziheng was the Second Imperial Prince of the Dayan Dynasty, but he was crippled by a doctor of unknown origin. In extreme anger, he sent the man into prison. But who would've thought the little doctor would change his ways? Not only did he solve a pile of medical problems for Dayan and helped the people, he was also able to help him surpass the First Imperial Prince, which was a big deal.

Xiao Ziheng: "……I think I'm falling in love, what to do?"

However, the little doctor was terribly afraid him. He would pitifully try and please him all day long, but the little doctor never came any closer and so Xiao Ziheng couldn't help but reflect: "Are you telling me that not liking to smile is illegal?"

Later, when the little doctor encountered trouble, he finally bared his canine teeth to protect him. Looking at the surprised look on his face, he laughed: "Be good, are you still afraid of me?"

The little doctor blushed in embarrassment and was carried back to his home by Xiao Ziheng to get married. He was so favored that if he wanted the stars or the moon, the Prince was willing to pluck them down the sky for him.

Xiao Ziheng (with an evil smile): "Can't be helped, my wifey is too cute." <<less

'Tanhua.' New Tanhua Lang, Song Liqing, and Crown Prince Qiyu were married by the emperor.

On their wedding night, while the two were in the bridal chamber, the Crown Prince indulged in debauchery with his favorite concubine until midnight.

Crown Prince Qiyu: 'You are dull and boring, lacking half the charm of Hu Nu'er!'

For the sake of childhood friendship and the Crown Prince's reputation, Song Liqing gave up his future, his dignity, endured humiliation and suffering, sacrificing everything. As a result, the Crown Prince's indulgence worsened, and Song Liqing ended up physically and mentally crippled, with death looming.

One day, without warning, in front of the entire court:
Song Liqing: 'My fate with the Crown Prince has ended. I willingly seek separation, asking for His Majesty's approval.'

The enraged Crown Prince: 'I divorce you!'

The stubborn Crown Prince prepared to return home in anger, only to find his residence deserted, with only a pre-written letter left behind.

'With this departure, I wish you good health and well-being. I hope to never meet again in this life or the next.'

In the past, there was a small cannon fodder who wholeheartedly dedicated herself to the medicinal path.... more>>

Only after dying once did she learned that even if she was brilliant, she could only be an insignificant side character used to emphasize the female lead’s limelight. Any relationship with the male lead and other supporting male characters would bring her bad luck.

When going out to collect some medicinal herbs in Qingfeng Valley, she kindly rescued a male side character. The man woke up and saw the female lead and became eternally grateful to her instead. He thought that the monster that hurt him was brought by the small cannon fodder so she was punished.

The cycle repeated and eventually everyone she saved blindly loved the righteous female lead. Ultimately she was killed by one of the men who was entangled with the female lead.

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!"

"Mama, I don't know how to read!"

Don't ask why the female lead has so many children; it's just for plot convenience.

There are no romance in the female lead's time-traveling journey; transforming jerks is her daily grind.

Ye Youqing originally was a business magnate, but unexpectedly died one day and transmigrated into the tragic female lead who was thrown to the ground by the male lead, with a stunningly beautiful but malicious female supporting character in his arms, looking pitiful and deserving of sympathy.... more>>

As the legitimate daughter of the Duke's household, the female lead married the male lead and suffered abuse daily, eventually ending with her family ruined and herself dead.

Hence, she destroyed the male lead, seized his wealth, fought against her concubine mother, and even picked up the malicious female supporting character who was against her and entangled with the male lead, and threw her out of the room.

Unexpectedly, this original fox spirit-like malicious female supporting character, not knowing what got into her, turned and lay in her room instead.

The woman, seductive and engaging, pressed her soft body into her arms, her breath as sweet as orchid: "I want revenge, and I want to make a deal with you."

Ye Youqing, expressionless, extended her index finger and pushed her away.

"If you want to make a deal, use money."

"As for anything else, that's a different price."

As an abusive novel that abuses the female lead, Ye Youqing feels that the storyline is a bit off.

For example, the malicious female supporting character who should have fallen into the water with her, saved by the male lead, not only fell in for her but also wetly climbed into her arms.

For example, the malicious female supporting character who should have seduced the male lead on her wedding night, not only ignored the male lead but also drunkenly collapsed in her room in disarray.

For example, the malicious female supporting character who should hate her to the bones, one day actually wore a bridal dress, sat on her bed with eyes like silk, and tearfully opened her lips: "Ye Youqing, please."

Liu Yu, with her exquisite beauty, was sold into a brothel by her heartless parents in her previous life and died on the night she left the pavilion in the most luxurious brothel in Yangzhou City.... more>>

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she was fifteen, just one month before being sold to the matchmaker by her parents.

With her rebirth, there was one urgent matter at hand.
Within a month, she had to find a good husband for herself, escape from the Liu family, and avoid the fate of being sold in her previous life.

She took all the money she could spare, knocked on the door of the matchmaker's house in Changfeng Town. And as soon as she left the matchmaker's house, she met a young man. The matchmaker whispered to her, "Lu Chengxiao, the third son of the Lu family, the owner of the Lu Feng Cloth Shop."

Liu Yu understood; he was her third target.

Recently, Lu Chengxiao had encountered a beautiful woman several times and admired her. He was thinking it was a match destined for marriage.

It wasn't until one day when they met in the mountains, the beautiful woman twisted her foot and couldn't move so he carried her all the way.

When he returned to deliver the medicine, he saw the beautiful woman walking lightly, with no sign of a twisted foot. The heat behind his ears receded, and his eyes grew colder. He turned and went back to Changfeng Town.

Several days later, the beautiful woman shyly handed him a purse, thanking him for his help.

Lu Chengxiao sneered, "Thanking me for helping? That day, I turned back and saw the lady walking normally. Why would I need to help?"

"I can't accept this purse. If we privately exchange gifts, it might be hard to explain later. It's better for the lady to keep her dignity."

Alright, this one couldn't work. Liu Yu took back the purse, curtsied, and walked away…

Lu Chengxiao thought it was a decisive rejection, until several days later, he saw Liu Yu drop an embroidered handkerchief in front of the bookshop where the young man, Chen Sheng, worked. The gentleman picked up the scented handkerchief, and the beautiful woman blushed and thanked him. What a beautiful encounter.

Lu Chengxiao: "…"

A wave of frustration welled up in his chest, and he clenched his teeth as he tossed and turned in his dreams.

Until later, when he saw Liu Yu about to stage a falling-into-the-water scene, Lu Chengxiao panicked. He jumped into the river before Chen Sheng, pulled her ashore, held her slender waist, and couldn't help but feel both angry and pained. He didn't even want to ask more questions. He just held her in his arms and almost begged, "Don't you want a good marriage? I'll marry you!"

The hand that was playing with her hair traveled down past her chin and ended up around her throat.
