[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

It's laughable that after a century of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it crumbled due to the decline of the royal heirs. Not only did a fool ascend the throne, but also a eunuch seized great power.... more>>

Wu Jing found himself in the shoes of the last imperial son of the Great Zhou, a recently crowned emperor who was perceived as a fool. He watched as people took advantage of his ignorance, serving him a meager meal of vegetables and plain rice.

Fists clenched, he grew angry.

Outside the palace hall, palace maids gossiped:
"That little emperor is quite handsome."
"If only he weren't a fool."
"The Ninth Thousand Years probably won't tolerate the restored normal emperor sitting in this position."

Wu Jing felt deflated.
He had to swallow his pride and continue pretending to be a fool.

Until one day, as he passed by the imperial garden, he accidentally saw the unpredictable and ruthless Ninth Thousand Years, known for killing without blinking, wearing a crane-patterned court robe. The red sleeves draped gracefully on the ground.

The Ninth Thousand Years squatted down, revealing a side profile with a smiling expression, extending a slender hand, feeding... a wild cat!

This cat was one of the wild cats in the imperial garden.
The next day, at the same spot, he saw the Ninth Thousand Years feeding a limping stray dog.

The third encounter was in the imperial study.
Wu Jing sat stiffly on the grand dragon throne, with a eunuch beneath his feet, a ten-year-old who accidentally spilled tea on the Ninth Thousand Years' robe, now frantically bowing.

Blood streamed down his face.

After a moment, someone came to take the little eunuch away, but the man sitting in the chief minister's chair suddenly spoke in a gentle tone, "Forget it, he's just a child."

Wu Jing shifted his black eyes.
Ning Qinghong turned his gaze, "Your Majesty, please let me review your lessons during this time."

"Gurgle—"
Wu Jing awkwardly looked at his stomach, a sudden insight striking him. The semi-grown teenager tilted up a pretty little face, his black eyes innocent, "Brother, I'm hungry."

Ning Qinghong narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up a pastry, "Come here." He fed the little emperor like he was feeding a kitten, coaxing him to finish.

Rumors spread that the Ninth Thousand Years suffered from a mental illness.
Sometimes smiling, sometimes cruel and tyrannical.

Wu Jing, who regretted hugging this thigh too late, hid in the wardrobe of the sleeping palace, hearing calls from outside.

Ning Qinghong, with a cold face, spoke in an oddly soft tone,
"Wu Wu, aren't you hungry?" <<less

Lin Yan, the capital city’s Deputy Magistrate, cast his gaze at the fair-skinned and almond-shaped eyes proprietress.

Alas, how unfortunate it was for such a noble lady to find herself ensnared in the clutches of this predicament, compelled to partake in the humble trade of selling food for her livelihood...

Shen Shaoguang: Surrounded by mouth watering cuisines and exquisite wines all day, and to top it all off, there’s occasional eye candies passing by, satisfying my every need! Ah~ my life is too good to be true~

Lin Yan's expression darkened. The young people in this city seemed to be consumed by their superficial appearances, indulging in frivolous activities like c*ckfighting and dog hunting. It was high time for them to undergo a transformation and embrace more meaningful pursuits! <<less

Eating, drinking and whoring — since his banishment to the Nanjing Ministry of War, these had become Xie Yilu’s entire life. In this lawless age, scholars and Eunuch Faction sycophants clawed at each other’s throats and each grand chamberlain wielded more power and influence than the last. As someone who could not master the arts of flattery and bootlicking, Xie Yilu’s only wish was to be a conscientious minor official.

Yet who knew that in such chaotic times, one could still encounter written confessions that sung out in a voice as fresh as the light of dawn?

Plum blossoms are but fleeting visitors; only pines will be one’s constant companions.

Xie Yilu had fantasised about such a person, but he could never have imagined that this confidant like an immortal ascended from the dust of worldly affairs was actually him?!

An old stone lantern stand, a page of powerful calligraphy and a set of heartstrings plucked out of the blue. Looking up at that frosty visage, Xie Yilu could not help but wonder — what is he hiding behind that haughty mask? <<less

Shen Cui unexpectedly transmigrated into a classical novel, becoming the beautiful yet malicious stepmother, Shen Cuihua, as described in the book. Her stepson, Mu Yunchuan, is destined to achieve great success in the imperial examinations, rise to a prominent position, and repay her a thousandfold for the wrongs she committed in the past.... more>>

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

[Task 1: Choose one son to nurture from the two sons. ( Lazy Biological Son ) or ( Genius Step-son )]

[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

When he was young, Fang Linyuan entered the palace. He saw a graceful figure in a single glance, and fell deeply in love. He was in unrequited love with Princess Huining for many years. ... more>>

Afterwards, he followed his father to guard the borders, and captured eighteen Beijiang cities, despite his young age. He returned in victory. All of it was for the sake of asking for Princess Huining’s hand in marriage.

Before, Huining’s mother had been ruined. Huining was thin and reclusive, having suffered neglect and humiliation. Yet she was still cold and unbending, like a pearl fallen in the mire.

Now, she was in the bloom of youth, striding through the palace with a vibrant crown. Her suitors filled the palace to bursting, yet no one could catch her eye.

That day, an imperial edict was declared to the realm, and the princess’s refusal was not allowed.

That night, the light of the red candles swayed, and a razor-sharp dagger met Fang Linyuan’s neck.

“Listen to my orders, or you’ll die without a complete corpse.”

Beneath the veil sounded the cold and unfamiliar voice of a young man.

***

Fang Linyuan received his long-sought wish, but the angel he dreamed of marrying as a boy turned out to be a man.

It turned out that Princess Huining, Zhao Chu, had been in disguise for many years, enduring humiliation and trials, just in order to protect himself in a den of tigers. He was waiting for a chance to take power and steal the throne.

And his marriage was nothing more than another layer of his disguise.

Fang Linyuan had nowhere to express his bitterness. He could only swallow his resentment and tuck away the sincerity he had paid in vain, wanting nothing more than to never see the false princess again.

But the marriage certificate was already written, and not only did he have to see Zhao Chu day after day, but he also had to put on a show of harmony and mutual respect with the false princess.

Fang Linyuan could only suffer patiently, being Zhao Chu’s false husband on one hand while waiting for war to arise on the other. Once it did, he would lead an army out of the capital, never to return.

But before the fires of war arose, there came the day when Princess Huining took power.

The throne was beneath him, and the officials bowed to him. Zhao Chu no longer needed to be Madam Fang.

Fang Linyuan offered him divorce papers, intending to retire from the capital and guard the borders.

Yet he saw Zhao Chu rip the divorce papers into tiny pieces with a cold expression, his eyes forbidding. Zhao Chu asked him why he started this mess only to abandon it at the end.

“But you’re a man,” Fang Linyuan explained.

Beneath the red candles, Zhao Chu’s face was luminous, just as when he had first seen him.

“Men have their good points.” <<less

Gu Mingzhu transmigrated into a novel–a Mary Sue novel.... more>>

She was neither the female lead or the supporting female lead. She did not even have a name in the entire novel.

Gu Mingzhu was very happy about it. She was very honest and respectful, so she might even be able to live a peaceful life!

However, a blind date banquet caused her to encounter the villainous male supporting character from the novel: the Prince of An, Han Min. When she looked at his face, she instantly only had one thought in her mind:

Little brother, I can!

**********

Han Min was a typical beautiful, strong, and miserable villain.

He was a prince, but he had never been favored. His biological mother was just a dancer and passed away early, and his adoptive mother was a madwoman who likes to mistreat the weak. It was not until he grew up and sided with the Crown Prince that he was living a decent life.

But those days did not last long. He nearly lost his legs to save the Crown Prince and his side concubine. From that point on, he became a useless person.

Han Min never gained anything in life, and ended up losing in life.

Han Min became increasingly gloomy, and thought that since he couldn’t live well, then no one else could either!

However, in that same moment, he had a startling realization that he did not lose everything. He still had his face, which could attract a dazzling ‘pearl’(Mingzhu means pearl)!

**********

Small Theater One:

Gu Mingzhu felt that things keep going wrong. Her husband didn’t seem to love the female lead, and he was not very devoted to the female lead. Does that mean he is going to have a bunch of concubines in the future…

Before Gu Mingzhu could finish thinking through her wild thoughts, Han Min leaned over, and his handsome face was all she could see. He smirked and chuckled lightly, “Mingzhu’er, it’s already late, we should go to sleep.”

Gu Mingzhu, whose thoughts became all jumbled up, didn’t even know what he was saying when she agreed.

Han Min knew that when he did that, it would capture her attention. While he was feeling proud, he also felt a bit scared. He had to ask the imperial physician to make him something to avoid losing his beauty one day.

Gu Mingzhu, who knew nothing about this, thought: Oh, my husband is so good looking. I can look at him for the rest of my life!

**********

Small Theater Two:

Han Min sat on the Dragon Throne and looked down condescendingly at the official who placed third in the exams and was kneeling in the center of the hall. He watched the handsome man’s pale face tremble since he did not know what wrong he had committed.

Han Min: “Tsk.”

The next day, the official was appointed a position outside of the capital by the Emperor, and it would be more than ten years before he could finally transfer back to the capital.

Han Min sat on the Dragon Throne with great satisfaction. However, his expression did not change at all as he examined the immense changes that occurred in the official. Han Min’s attitude was so gracious that the man wept and vowed to die for Da Sheng and Han Min.

Han Min continued to watch as the man left. He took out a small mirror from under his chair and murmured:

“This is wonderful. I am still the most beautiful man in the world.”

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
