According to popular legend, the war god of Da Liang Huo Wujiu was once captured by the enemy country. His meridians were severed and both his legs broken before he was thrown into prison. In order to humiliate him, that dissolute ruler even gifted him to his cutsleeve brother as a concubine.... more>>

General Huo suffered a great deal of humiliation and insult. He bided his time for three years before the cicada shed his skin and he escaped back to Da Jing. After treating his crippled legs, he led his army in three months to storm the enemy’s capital, slaughter its emperor, raze its capital, and finally beheaded that garbage cutsleeve, hanging his head on the city walls for three whole years.

Since then, the world has been united.

——

Jiang Suizhou, a history department graduate advisor at a certain university, received a dissertation which used these unofficial histories of Huo Wujiu as their basis, and criticized the student to no end.

When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into that cutsleeve prince from the stories.

There were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. A servant came, sending word that the disabled general of the enemy state had already entered the prince's manor in his wedding sedan.

Facing down General Huo, who had been tortured to the verge of death, dressed in red wedding clothes, glaring balefully, Jiang Suizhou only then knew - these wild stories could also come true.

And cause him to be beheaded for public display, his head hung on the city walls for three years.

Jiang Suizhou’s only option was to provide for General Huo well.

The overt and covert attacks of the imperial court, the witless ruler's every possible humiliations -- he grit his teeth and absorbed it all, all in the hopes that in three years time, he could but keep this head of his.

Of course, he didn’t dare to even dream of asking this 9 ci* tall “concubine” to actually serve him.

However, before the three years was up, General Huo’s legs actually healed on their own.

Not only did he slaughter the useless ruler and unified the country, but he also forcefully blocked him in the room and insisted on fulfilling his duty as "concubine."

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.”

Mu Wan Qing was dressed as cannon fodder playing a female supporting role in a book about a reborn female protagonist.... more>>

The heroine was her amazing and talented cousin. She was reborn on the way to exile, and she devoted all her clan to help her ascend to the backyard of the Emperor.

And Mu Wan Qing’s whole family was used as a stepping stone and was destroyed on the road of exile.

Mu Wan Qing: I am so tired, let’s destroy it.

In the chaos of the house raiding scene, Mu Wan Qing hurriedly grabbed the marriage certificate with a swoosh.

During the breaking up of the marriage, Mu Wan Qing exchanged the marriage certificate for a mule cart and twenty taels of silver and started a long journey of exile.

In order to survive, she resorted to roasting pig trotters, making fried chicken, farming cotton, and breeding sheep.

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.

【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.
