Life is unpredictable. Her husband loved her stepsister, deposed her as Empress and even forced her son to death. In that Cold Palace, she was forced to drink poisonous wine.

Nadia, the Imperial Medical Officer of Izetine.... more>>

I saved another world, and I had just come back to my original body.

However, I seem to have become a pe*vert that seduced the crazy dog of the Empire.

It would be ok to just tempt him, but ‘I’ made that crazy dog, Lexion, furious.

As a formidable figure in the underworld that no one dared to provoke, Huang Quan had never imagined that she would be reborn! ... more>>

Huang Quan, the underworld boss, suddenly found herself reincarnated as the young lady of a declining aristocratic family in the Phoenix Empire. This lady was known for her delicate and fragile constitution, often out of breath after just a few steps, and she lacked spiritual roots, making it impossible for her to practice cultivation. She was widely regarded as a useless person in the capital city.

Delicate and fragile? Unable to cultivate? Bullied by others?

For her frail body, there was medical treatment.

As for her inability to cultivate, she possessed a unique spiritual energy that could make all things flourish and bring life to the dead!

As for being bullied, she had a straightforward solution—beat you till you cry!

Huang Quan declared that she wasn't afraid of any of the above. The only thing she was afraid of was...

Di Qin: "When will you marry me home?"

Huang Quan: "???" Shouldn't it be you marrying me instead? <<less

【Female Lead's pleasure-seeking + high IQ palace intrigue + female lead schemes against the entire harem + crazy villain personality】... more>>

Song Zhao has always been a woman who spares no means to achieve her goals, and at the same time she lives more clearly than anyone else.

From the moment she knew she was chosen by Xiao Jingheng to enter the palace as a concubine,

her goal has been very clear:

"I entered the palace just to become the Empress, why else? To go cook for someone else?"

Therefore, as soon as she entered the palace, relying on her beauty and wisdom, she took steps to win the monarch's heart, and played with the six palaces in her palm.

Anyway, the women in this harem, for the sake of family, for their own favor and honor, there are none who do not compete and snatch,

Since this is the case, what she has to do is take preemptive action,

Make herself a villain, defeat everyone, and successfully ascend to the Phoenix throne.

*

At first, Emperor Xiao Jingheng favored Song Zhao, just because of her unparalleled beauty in the harem.

The favored concubines often become arrogant due to favoritism, but Song Zhao was different.

Not only did she not compete for favor, she always advised Xiao Jingheng to share his rain and dew evenly, and often go to other concubines.

Her attitude towards him in her daily life was also visibly perfunctory.

This inevitably made Xiao Jingheng suspicious, feeling that Song Zhao was not truly sincere towards him.

The innate desire to conquer that emperors possess made him secretly determine to completely possess this woman:

Not just her person, but her heart as well.

The process of conquering Song Zhao was like climbing the highest mountain in the world.

It's just that Xiao Jingheng never thought:

When he climbed Mount Song Zhao, he willingly climbed it for a lifetime.

The Crown Prince is dead, and the Great Xuan Dynasty is in turmoil.... more>>

The rebel army is at the gates.

To stabilize the situation and uncover the cause of death of her twin elder brother, Zhao Yan, Princess Changfeng, has no choice but to disguise herself as a man and take on the role of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince, facing the wind and shedding blood.

On the night she enters the Eastern Palace, the Empress repeatedly admonishes her, “As the only prince of a different surname in this dynasty, the cunning Prince Su has controlled the court and the military for many years. His ambitious nature must not be underestimated!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan feels like she’s walking on thin ice every day, her heart pounding.

Until one day, Zhao Yan is ambushed.

When she wakes up, everything is chaotic, and there, the powerful Prince Su, with his disheveled hair and half-dressed attire, looks at her with his dangerously handsome and slightly raised eyes.

This is bad!

Zhao Yan’s mind goes blank, and she turns to run.

In the next moment, her sash is caught.

Prince Su sneers and his voice carries a hint of displeasure, “Running away so soon, isn’t that improper?”

“The Little Crown Prince” with ink-black hair scattered and a pale face stammers, “I… I’m going to review the memorials.”

“Sure.”

The man leisurely hooks her hair strands, his voice low and hoarse, “As the Crown Prince reads memorials, I shall read the Crown Prince.”

——–

People used to say that the naturally rebellious and unruly Prince Su has changed his ways, no longer causing trouble or rebellion, but instead assisting the Crown Prince. He stays overnight in the Eastern Palace every day and even shares a bed with the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that one day, it would be revealed that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is actually a girl disguised as a boy, causing turmoil in the court.

The whole court is in an uproar, and everyone speculates that Prince Su will seize this opportunity to overthrow the imperial power and take over.

However, during the court interrogation, Prince Su, draped in a black cloak, bows in front of the civil and military officials, reaching out to hold the delicate fingertips of the young girl.

“Don’t be afraid, let’s move forward.”

His voice is stern yet reassuring, as he calmly states, “If anyone dares to speak ill, I’ll kill them; if heaven obstructs, I’ll defy it.” <<less

Ning Shu traveled back to the 1970s and is now facing two challenges:... more>>

First, she is married in this body. However, because of military marriage regulations, she cannot divorce. Should she accept this man?

Second, this body has three sons. With their father absent and their mother neglectful, they constantly demand to report the original owner to their father when he returns.

Later, when the man returned, he saw his eldest and second sons wearing tattered clothes while cleaning, and the youngest son sitting on the floor massaging Ning Shu's legs.

Ning Shu, wearing new clothes, was eating melon seeds.

The man's face darkened: "I send you my salary every month, and this is how you take care of the children?"

Before Ning Shu could spit out the melon seed shells, the three sons erupted.

Eldest son: "You haven't been back for a year. What right do you have to talk about my mother?"

Second son: "Do you know how hard it has been for my mother to raise me this past year?"

Youngest son: "Bad person, hit...hit bad person..."

Man: "..." So the thirty yuan he sent each month went to the dogs?

Following the military, Ning Shu sat in the family compound cracking melon seeds while her sons washed vegetables and dishes beside her.

Some women couldn't stand it and said Ning Shu was lazy and didn't do housework.

The sons immediately retorted.

Eldest son: "I am my mother's son. Can't I feel sorry for my mother and want to be filial to her?"

Second son: "Just because you don't have anyone to be filial to you doesn't mean you can't allow others to be filial."

Youngest son: "Good son, filial to mother."

The women went to complain to the man, saying that Ning Shu had spoiled their sons.

The man thought, as long as his sons' sharp tongues weren't aimed at him, he didn't care about anyone else. <<less

Without hesitation, Shen Cui prepared to escape that very night. However, unexpectedly, the "Examination Foster System" went online!

[Task 2: Master cooking skills and household management to become an outstanding mother in the classical examination style.]

[Task 3: Choose a teacher for the son, with qualifications not lower than 85.]

Shen Cui didn't dare to provoke the original male lead, so she could only choose her original son from the book — a lazy, chubby and ignorant child — to a comparison foster. She pulled him out of bed and said, "Son, it's time to study."

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

Regardless, she forced him to study. If he didn't achieve fame, her eldest son would make sure she and her son were both finished! <<less

Lin Yiwei was admitted to a top-tier university, spending her weekends immersed in the library all day while working at a convenience store to supplement her living expenses, selling her paintings for pocket money.... more>>

On the afternoon she received the “Outstanding Work Award” at the art exhibition, a handsome senior volunteered to take her out for ice cream. She wore her only white dress, as pure as gardenia flowers.

At the food street, the senior ordered strawberry shaved ice for her, and they chatted about the exhibition and art. He was very gentlemanly and polite. However, Lin Yiwei received a text message from Xie Bao: “The dress looks good on you.”

Lin Yiwei looked up, and a group of racing boys were sitting on the opposite steps. Xie Bao held a cigarette between his fingers. In the white mist, his profile was sharp, his smile rebellious and wild.

That night, Lin Yiwei’s white dress shattered in Xie Bao’s hands.

…

Upon entering university, Lin Yiwei met Xie Bao at a bar. They were both somewhat uncontrollably drawn to each other’s bodies and often met up. Her impression of Xie Bao was that he was a very obedient, well-behaved little puppy, always ready to come and go as needed.

Later, Lin Yiwei was dragged by friends to the racetrack and unexpectedly saw Xie Bao. He turned out to be a top racing driver in his prime, standing under the spotlight next to a top-tier supercar, receiving the enthusiastic cheers of fans.

Later, she heard that the heir of the Xie Group was also named Xie Bao.

Stripping away the “obedient” and “sweet” attributes of the little puppy, she met the real Xie Bao—

The legitimate eldest grandson of the Grand Duke of Jing, Zhao Huanxi, was born into a prestigious family with beauty as lovely as flowers. However, being confined to the inner courtyard, he did not seek advancement, having nothing to his credit except for his good looks.... more>>

At the age of sixteen, he married Xu Nian’an, the daughter of the late Wujing Boshi (the teacher of the Imperial Academy).

Xu Nian’an was astute and capable. Soon as she married into a high-status family, she shed all pretense of cordiality with her malicious Aunt.

The malicious Aunt was shamed into anger and spouted a stream of nonsense: “The father-in-law is biased, and the mother-in-law is overbearing. If it weren’t for the delicately good-for-nothing Zhao Huanxi, would you even have had a chance? Do you think marrying into a high-status family is your big stroke of luck? It’s nothing but a big joke!”

Xu Nian’an looked at her obedient, charming, and sweet-hearted husband and smiled back, saying, “Well, that’s still better than marrying beneath oneself and becoming a laughingstock.”

Three years into the marriage, the young husband diligently pursued progress. He excelled in both literary and military skills, capable of serving in the government and fighting on the battlefield. With his handsome appearance, he attracted attention and admiration throughout the capital city, yet he remained devoted to her alone.

The mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter, ensuring that she lacked nothing, including the finest and most luxurious things.

As for the biased father-in-law who favored concubines over his wife and mistreated her, well, my apologies, but he was promptly kicked out by the grandfather, sent flying a hundred thousand miles away.

Others might have thought that Xu Nian’an had stumbled into good luck by marrying so well, but only her mother-in-law, Yin Furen, knew the truth: “Try replacing her with someone else; see if you can achieve the same.”

Ji Zhen Tang first saw Zhong Yu Bai at her boyfriend's birthday banquet.
