Working overnight to finalise a project’s negotiations, Gu Qiming, who founded the company with several brothers after leaving the army, then had to accompany the client up the mountain, only to be ambushed by former enemies and fall off a cliff.... more>>

Upon waking up, he found that he arrived in another world and was picked up by a “ger”.

The little ger is only 19 years old, but he has been living alone for several years. Not only did he have to take care of family affairs, but he also had to deal with troublesome relatives.

Can this be tolerated?

In order to live better, Gu Qiming went up the mountain to hunt, went down the river to fish, learned to work as a carpenter, helped the little ger deal with trouble, and found his true love.

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.

However, the throne of Prince Pei Shu was deposed, and the couple were driven out of the Duke’s mansion.

Gu Yun: “…”

She thought she was getting a house fighting script, but it turned out to be a farming script.

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: “…”

Pei Shu: I have to give a hundred reasons to fool my wife every day, and I can’t QAQ.

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

News from the frontier brought joy: the Crown Prince was soon to return to the capital in triumph. The noble ladies of the capital awaited eagerly, all eyes on the future Crown Princess.... more>>

Yet, what no one expected was the return of a young girl alongside the Crown Prince.

Rumor had it that the Prince picked her up on his way back to the capital. The girl, with fair skin and a beautiful appearance, seemed soft and easily bullied. Her watery eyes invoked compassion in anyone who saw her.

The usually indifferent Prince held her dearly in his palms, often saying:

"She's timid, don't scare her."

"She's innocent and kind, don't deceive her with cunning!"

"She's fragile, Mother, please take extra care of her."

However, everything changed when the young girl, with a cold, gleaming sword, rescued the Prince from enemy assassins. Everyone was astounded.

Timid? Innocent and kind? Fragile?

Later, many claimed the girl's identity was unknown, her actions ruthless and mu*derous. The Prince turned a deaf ear and insisted on a royal decree for marriage.

Eventually, she became the Empress, the first in history to co-rule with the Emperor. She journeyed thousands of miles to find a cure for the Emperor, working with the new Emperor to build a prosperous realm. From then on, no one dared to speak a word against her.

Tang Jiaojiao, grievously wounded due to internal strife within the palace, fell into a deep slumber in a tree for days. When she awoke, she found herself in a luxurious carriage.

Confused, she wondered... had she been kidnapped?

She tried to gather her internal energy, but to no avail...

As Tang Jiaojiao closed her eyes, pondering how to escape, a pleasant voice came from above: "You're awake."

She looked up, stunned.

What kind of enchanting beauty was this!

"I've lost my memory. Are you my husband?

Tang Jiaojiao blinked her clear eyes innocently.

After a moment of silence, a low chuckle followed by a gentle voice responded: "Yes."

Content, Tang Jiaojiao followed her newfound husband into the capital, entering the Eastern Palace, enjoying luxurious clothing and jewelry, and receiving endless affection.

Until the 'enchanting beauty' started telling everyone how fragile and timid she was, Tang Jiaojiao was perplexed.

Should she tell him that she was the infamous, ruthless master of the Pear Blossom Palace they all spoke of? <<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

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

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

People often remark on the extraordinary luck of the fourth daughter of the Jing’an Hou Mansion. She enjoys favor in the palace, has a lineage, and hails from a prestigious family. Truly, her glory knows no bounds! However, Shen Chuliu herself is unsure of how she arrived at this point.... more>>

Initially, when other concubines showcased their talents in music and dance, Shen Chuliu declared she was not an entertainer. When they composed poems and created art, she stated she had no intention of taking the imperial examination. When others mocked her lack of favor, she merely smiled, reminding them of her noble origins.

The emperor was left with no choice; he couldn’t ignore the concubines who failed to please him, especially when their maternal families held significant power. Shen Chuliu was indifferent to it all, allowing her relatives to act as they pleased. Upon entering the palace, she began to embrace a carefree attitude.

The liberation felt good initially, and it continued to feel good. After all, comfort is paramount in life. If things become too oppressive, even the emperor is powerless! <<less

[Palace Intrigue + Sweet Doting + Not Purely Chaste + Heroine Focused on Her Career]... more>>

On the first day of her transmigration into the imperial harem, Jiang Xinyu was already out of favor.

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?

Jiang Xinyu: The emperor is the harem's highest-level boss with the thickest health bar. If I can deplete his health bar, I can become the supreme empress of this harem.

P.S. The heroine is solely focused on her career, yearning for riches and glory, a life of luxury and indulgence. She excels in all pursuits, with layer upon layer of schemes to conquer the emperor's heart. <<less
