A sequel to the drama, Empresses in the Palace (Zhen Huan Zhuan), Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace tells the story of Ula Nara Ruyi and the Qianlong Emperor, Aisin Gioro Hongli, from their loving acquaintance to mutual loss and disillusionment. ... more>>

Arc 1 Intro:

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. In fact, for her, the downward spiral has just begun… <<less

The Marquis Yunyang was deposed by the Emperor and his family ended up in dire straits overnight. As such, the Third Miss of the Shen Household, her family’s most precious jewel, found herself abandoned by all with a sick brother on her hands. Having no other choice, she set up a cosmetics shop in Chang’an.... more>>

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

All for the sake of Chang’an’s First Beauty. <<less

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

After transmigrating to the ancient times, Tang Shen originally wanted to start a small business, support his family, and live the rest of his life happily.... more>>

However, being cautious can only protect oneself, but cannot save lives.

If he wanted to grow his business bigger and let more people have food to eat, he could only be an official, a high official.

Tang Shen: I have a dream……
Wang Zhen: En?
Tang Shen: I have a dream. In the dream, there is a city, a kingdom that never sleeps.

Wang Zhen×Tang Shen

I will bring peace to the kingdom, calm to the four seas, a millennium in the twinkle of an eye, and songs sung to the skies. <<less

The rebel army leader swung his sword to my neck on the city tower, as I faced a dead end. Then, with a huge grin, he said to Tantai Jin, “Between your wife and Miss Ye, only one can live. Who are you going to pick?”... more>>

The system cautiously looked at Ye Bingshang, who was crying, and said, “Master, he’ll pick you.”

“Let Ye Bingshang go,” Tantai Jin ordered without hesitation.

“Uh oh,” said the system.

“Uh oh,” I said.

“Tantai Jin must know that your family is large and owns a lot of property,” the system remarked, reassuringly. “As a result, he must think that the secret guards will save you.”

Tantai Jin thought similarly. So, on that day, in front of 300 thousand men, I smiled at him and jumped off the city tower, beneath his shattered gaze.

I didn’t even leave a complete body behind for him.

So, this is the ‘BE’ ending that I have chosen for Tantai Jin.

As the new emperor, Tantai Jin’s hair turned white overnight in the first year of Jinghe. Then he turned into an insane devil that slaughtered the city, even beheading Ye Bingshang.

And after Nirvana, I, who had already seen through these few years of hopeless love, returned to the immortal cultivation realm. Being a little fairy makes me happy too.

Many years later, I’m claimed to be the white moonlight of a fallen divinity throughout the immortal cultivation realm.

Tantai Jin had never sobbed in his entire life. No one had ever witnessed his frail state, even if his eye was gouged out and his meridian veins were cut.

That was the day that everyone will remember for the rest of their lives. With blood and tears streaming down his cheeks like beads, he pleaded for mercy. <<less

After Wu Ruo died, he is reborn in those dark days when he was the most useless and the fattest that he hated the most.... more>>

And in his new life, he not only has been married with a man, but also is a useless waste who can’t cultivate. He needs other’s support when he gets up, and would pant taking a few more steps, and even would get his bu*t stuck by the door when he tries to get out through it. You can say he has arrived to a new level of his wasteness, and meanwhile, reached a new fat level.

But…

Even though he has already been this fat, he still wants him to serve him in bed???

Damn it!

Fine! See how I crush you in bed!

In this life, when Wu Ruo decides to take revenge, he has erased all his past that’s even hard to tell… <<less

A popular Xiangsheng performer Mo Songyan traveled back to ancient times. He thought that it was Long Aotian, but to his surprise, he was facing a situation where his stepmother was not kind, his father did not love him, and his family was in turmoil. 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?”

Xiao Changyu suddenly raised his eyebrows and pecked him lightly, "Laogong.” <<less

The Capital’s girls look on with hatred, “You’re just a country girl without any knowledge. Do you have Niyun Shop’s clothes? Do you have Brilliant Treasure Pavillion’s jewellery? Do you even know how eminent and domineering the famous Yue Wang is?"... more>>

Mu Yunyao looked at them lazily, “Niyun Shop? I opened it. Brilliant Treasure Pavillion? I opened it. As for Yue Wang…when are you returning my silver?”

Yue Wang’s face was cold: “I will pay with my body.”

(Wang means Prince. In this case, “Yue Wang” was a title given by the Emperor to his son.)

After being reincarnated, Mu Yunyao believes in three things: One, do not have good intentions towards others. Two, do not let the enemy have the chance to rise again. Three, do not believe in feelings. Thus, she is merciless. She is fearless. She would rather have everything destroyed than to compromise for everything.

However, after one fateful meeting, a cold-blooded prince keeps following her, silently plotting on making her his wife and bringing her back to pamper her… <<less

Cui Xie, a modern college student, transmigrated into the body of a son of a fifth-rank official in the powerful Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, shortly after... more>> transmigrating, his father banished him to Qian’an, Hebei, the family’s ancestral home. He took two servants with him to live in the small county, but from then on, he lived well, made good money, and took the Imperial examinations. Step by step, he clawed his way back up and returned to the glorious capital city to walk a road of clear skies and embark on the path of an official’s life. <<less

In her previous life, the time travelling woman, Jiang Wan Cheng, made a wrong step and became the concubine in the prince’s palace. In front of her was a husband who showed his true face and treated her like a commodity. Behind her, there was a wife who ruthlessly tortured and humiliated her. For the sake of freedom, Jiang Wan Cheng died miserably in a poor alley…. ... more>>

After being reborn, Jiang Wan Cheng was once again saved by that tall, fierce, rough hunter with a full of beard on his face. Suddenly, two little siblings appeared in front of her!

Huh? Aren’t these the future of the great villain and the notorious consort!

Overjoyed, Jiang Wan Cheng decided to cling to their thighs and start from the childhood of the villain. Jiang Wan Cheng thickened her skin and stayed in the hunter’s house, cooking, gardening, raising chickens, and picking mushrooms.

The clingy demon consort was nurtured to be tender and delicate.

The sharp-tongued villain was tamed into a trusted aide.

However, the hunter became increasingly strange, sometimes shaving his beard to reveal his true face, sometimes half-dressed chopping wood and bathing in the courtyard…. Enchanted by his appearance, Jiang Wan Cheng became the white moonlight sister-in-law of the little villain!

The prince came knocking? Trying to force her into a concubine? This time, Jiang Wan Cheng took out the kitchen knife and decided to put an end to this nonsense!

The hunter said, “My lady, don’t worry. Watch as I overthrow this entire kingdom!”

A family of four, never doubt each other. <<less

Shi Shuiyue from the 21th century exchanged souls with the antagonist demoness in the novel?!... more>>

She had originally thought that she would just spend the rest of her life like this, but, for some unknown reason, the protagonist male lead started getting close to her. This caused her, who had transmigrated into the antagonist, to somewhat panic. Could he just stay away from her? She had a phobia for protagonists ah! 

However, her fellow transmigrator expressed, “Don’t be afraid. He’s just a reincarnator!”

Shi Shuiyue, who persisted in becoming a villain, led her subordinates to wreak havoc in Jianghu, but eventually, also caused trouble for herself.

Uh, My Lord the Male Lead, let’s make an agreement, okay? Can’t we just follow the original plot ah?!  <<less

Fang Chaozhou found himself transmigrating into a Danmei novel, as a character who had the exact same name as himself. He became the Second Brother of the Protagonist and he had no clue who the ML was.... more>>

In the original book, Fang Chaozhou loves the Protagonist and is madly in love with his Junior Brother; as he blocks swords for him, kills monsters for him, and bangs against any wall for him.

And now…

Fang Chaozhou: Forget it, there are too many suitors, I’d better wash up and sleep.

Since Fang Chaozhou gave up on pursuing his Junior Brother, the Protagonist’s other suitors saw that Fang Chaozhou had become enlightened. They became good friends with him, sharing their little secrets with him from time to time.

Suitor No. 1: Last time I picked celestial grass for Junior Brother and he said thank you.

Fang Chaozhou (surprised): Junior Brother must like you!

Suitor No. 2: Junior Brother went on a mission with me last time, and asked me to pay attention to my safety.

Fang Chaozhou (confirming): He absolutely likes you, as he didn’t run away.

Suitor No. 3: His clothes were torn when he fought the monster last time. I lent him my coat, but he didn’t want it.

Fang Chaozhou (touching his chin): I’m sure it must be because he likes you. He’s too shy.

…

Later, the Junior Brother came to his door.

His Junior Brother who has a beautiful face coldly asks: Second Brother, someone has been spreading rumors every day that I like others, does this mean he likes me?

Fang Chaozhou coughed twice: Junior Brother, if you have something to say, can you untie the immortal rope on my body first? <<less

Before the age of seventeen, Shen Yu was the distinguished daughter of a prestigious family, ready to wield her sword at any moment.... more>>

After seventeen, she became the frail wife of a low-ranking official in the Jiang Mansion. With her father and brothers fallen in battle, and her family renowned for their loyalty, she bore the stigma and married Jiang Lianzhi.

She once thought he was her savior, only to realize he was her executioner. A valiant daughter of a military family, she drowned in a conspiracy in an icy lake.

Returning to the year of her father and brothers' deaths, she walked alone, witnessing the devastation of the world along the way.

Avenging the unavenged, delivering justice where none was given. When the heavens were unjust, she overturned them; when corruption prevailed, she slew the corrupt officials.

Reopening old cases, executing corrupt officials, slaying old enemies... She marched forward relentlessly, with someone always standing tall behind her.

Xie Tingzhou said, "Go and do what you want to do. Fear not, I'll accompany you in overturning this world." <<less

The night he crossed over, he was told that his “wife” was having a baby.... more>>

Upon entering the delivery room, he discovered his “wife” is actually a man!!!

Was there anything more terrifying than this?!

Li Jin had just woken up when he saw a man run out from the room.

“Li Jin, your family’s husband is having difficulty giving birth. He can’t hold on anymore!”

In ancient times, dystocia was known as “one corpse, two lives”.

Without even thinking about it, Li Jin rushed into the delivery room. —He was an obstetrician.

After crossing over, Dr. Li, who was respected for his medical skills, became a “soft rice man” who relied on his “wife”. <<less

Ye Yunting, the unpopular first son of the Duke of Qi, was married by an imperial decree to Prince Yong’an, Li Fengqi.... more>>

Prince Yong’an defended the northern border and had killed countless enemies, deserving the title of the “War God of Bei Zhao”.

However, when Ye Yunting married him, this bed-ridden War God was already poisoned, his meridians severed.
　　　　
Ye Yunting was devastated by the marriage. Out of fear of the War God’s reputation, he hid in his own courtyard to live a life of peace. Not long after, he accidentally drank the poisonous soup given to the Prince of Yong’an and died.

Before his death, the Yong’an prince, who was said to be dying, half-knelt in front of his bed, held his hand, and solemnly promised, “You lost your life because of me. From now on, I will do my best to protect your loved ones, so go in peace.”

Later on, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and indeed honored his promise to shelter Ye Yunting’s only family.

In his second life, Ye Yunting still couldn’t avoid the fate of marrying Prince Yong’an. But this time, he decided to take good care of the dying man and repay his kindness from his previous life.

However, he did not expect the man to be cured and then to be impatiently pulled into his arms.

He was held tightly in the man’s embrace: “Follow me. From now on, I will protect you.”

Ming Huashang was the younger fraternal twin sister. Her birth symbolized auspiciousness and she lost her mother at a young age causing Duke Zhen to dote on her immensely. She was spoiled to the point where she became ignorant, incompetent, and lazy; she was the complete opposite of her elder fraternal twin brother who was renowned all throughout Chang’an. Ming Huashang originally lived a peaceful life, prepared to dilly dally and eat till she died. Until one night, she had a dream and learned that she was actually a fake daughter.... more>>

The two children were swapped at birth, and the real daughter was living among the commoners. Although she was raised in an impoverished environment, she was diligent and motivated. She became a well-known talented woman at a young age, in stark contrast to her fake.

Later, the truth was revealed. The real daughter was taken back to the duke manor causing her status as the fake daughter to plummet. In the end, she was poisoned to death, silently, in the middle of the night.

Ming Huashang, whose biggest dream was to live a long life before dying, was terrified. Seeing that there was only one year left before the return of the real daughter, Ming Huashang tucked her tail between her legs, got her act together, and tried her best to please her elder twin brother in name, Ming Huazhang.

But her aloof and excellent elder brother couldn’t be fooled. Ming Huashang failed to please her big thigh, so she gave up decisively and set her sights on her real elder brother – the top scholar Su Xingzhi, the future prime minister from humble beginnings.

After the third time Ming Huashang sneaked out to meet the newly minted top scholar, Ming Huazhang appeared in her room late at night and said to her in disappointment, “Younger sister, why is your patience still so poor.” <<less

Yan Yi Ming transmigrated into the hottest otome game at present. She became a female cannon fodder destined to be ruthlessly abandoned by the male protagonists; a stepping stone on the white moonlight female protagonist’s path to success.... more>>

The system informed her that only by replacing the female protagonist and becoming the white moonlight of the male protagonists then could she successfully escape and return to her world. After years of painstaking efforts, utilizing all kinds of strategies, and adopting various identities did she finally succeed in conquering the four male protagonists. She recovered her true body and eagerly awaited to go home but found that she was unable to go back.

A weak reminder from System:

Please read the user manual carefully: –

1. Become a white moonlight, and

2. To extricate oneself and make a successful retreat from the male protagonists.

Yan Yi Ming looked at the second condition and suddenly found herself in a pickle. <<less

Ruan Longling was divorced by her fiancé, Liu Chengji, who was studying in the capital because of her status as a merchant girl. She finally figured it out: In this world, apart from money, only the blood of close relatives can be relied on. The Ruan family is well-known in the business, and she has ten thousand gold in hand, so she doesn't have to worry about food and drink. The only wish is to have a child who will inherit the family business.... more>>

With the idea of giving up a husband and seeking a son, Ruan Longling fell in love with a sharp scholar. The scholar's face is like a crown of jade, and the wind is gentle. From his appearance to his temperament, he is exactly what Ruan Longling likes. If there is a father like this, the son must be clever.

Ruan Longling used 18 tricks to seduce the scholar and her into a married couple, and the two of them spent a wonderful time together like glue. <<less

The arrogant and troublesome Princess Danyang, Li Huaiyu, who caused chaos in the court for eight years, has passed away. She met her demise on the very day the new emperor ascended the throne, with blood flowing from her seven orifices, a horrifying sight.... more>>

The officials rejoiced, and the people celebrated: Evil meets its just end! Good riddance!

However, on the seventh day after her death, Princess Danyang resurrected her soul, reincarnating as the Fourth Miss of the Bai Family.

What? This Fourth Miss Bai is a fool? Helpless and without support? And now, she's even the target of a forced marriage?

Huaiyu slammed the table and stood up: "This is absolutely outrageous!"

Engaging in a battle of wits, rallying the masses, and with Princess Danyang's presence, who dares to challenge the fate of this fool?

But, who could tell her why crossing a wall would lead her to encounter Prince Ziyan, Jiang Xuanjin?

...

“Has your highness ever loved someone?”

“I have.”

“How did you love her?”

“In the beginning, I tried everything in my power to destroy her soul.”

In the end, he exhausted all means, just wishing that she would succeed. <<less

When Xu Ting came back from the army, she found out that her boyfriend and her best friend had an affair behind her back. She had no face left!... more>>

She immediately went racing and fell from the steep mountain and died. But she did not expect that she would actually be reincarnated to Dayan Dynasty, where women were superior to men. Women were the breadwinners, and men were meant to take care of the house.

Wasn’t this just right?

Men were virtuous and beautiful, gentle and small, more likable. If she chose a man, she would love him wholeheartedly, he would rely on her unconditionally and they would never betray each other.

Du Siyin’s life is like a joke. He is obviously the legitimate son, but he is not as good as the bastard son. His father died early, his mother did not like him, and even his servants were sarcastic and negligent towards him. He is obviously virtuous and beautiful. He is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, needlework and poetry. He was graceful and refined. But even after all this, his fiancee broke off their engagement and instead pursued the son of an ugly and unrefined merchant. He had become a joke among the noble sons of the capital. He was unmarried at the age of nineteen and was maliciously speculated against by countless people.

At the end of the summer of the fifteenth year of Wenqi, the Queen of Zhenbian returned to Beijing, and Xu Ting, the Princess of Zhenbian, who was the dream candidate of countless sons, appeared before anyone. But Du Siyin had a dead heart and did not have any hopes of having a better life.

Who knew how, but this big pie fell on his head!

Once the marriage was bestowed, and a good relationship was formed, Xu Ting treated Du Siyin with gentleness that the world would be jealous of. <<less

The young master of the Duke of Zhen’s manor, Li Ling, was talented, brave, and an outstanding man. However, his delicate wife Lady Shen felt stifled living with him. Five years into their marriage, she was completely compliant with him, yet he showed her not an ounce of warmth.... more>>

If it was simply due to his cold temperament, she could accept it. But when the Xiongnu invaded and the Ninth Princess was forced into a marriage alliance, Li Ling actually “flew into a rage” and requested to lead troops for the sake of his cousin the princess.

She finally understood the reason he treated her so coldly. She was so angry she didn’t want to stay married to him anymore. The divorce papers were already drafted, just waiting for Li Ling’s return to sign them.

Little did she expect that upon waking up one day, she found herself back at the time of her new marriage to Li Ling…

Li Ling married an obedient young wife who doted on him. Over a month into their marriage, she served him extremely well.

However, these past few days, Li Ling noticed his new wife acting strange. In the mornings, she no longer helped him dress. At mealtimes, she didn’t plate his dishes or pour his soup for him. At night, as soon as he approached her, she turned away.

The formidable and aloof Li Ling could no longer stand it. He leaned in and asked, “Wife, are you feeling unwell?”

She just gave him a cold look.

Li Ling scratched his head. “Having just arrived at the manor, are you still not quite accustomed, wife?”

Again, she remained silent with her head down.

Li Ling’s curiosity was piqued, so he could only closely observe her every move, hoping to discern what was on her mind.

One day at a polo match, he saw her cover her face and smile at a certain man on the field. Another day, he noticed her resting her chin in her palm, idly reading poems by a certain scholar. And at a palace banquet, he even saw the crown prince give her a slight smile…

Li Ling’s heart grew more unsettled with each passing day. <<less
