As a eunuch, Tian Qi’s ba zi* was harder than diamond-plated gold drill. Although her ba zi easily brought an end to three consecutive masters, the Emperor was not afraid to be the next casualty and got her to serve at Qian Qing Palace.... more>>

But although His Majesty looked like a handsome gentleman, his behavior was more like a hooligan. Once, the Emperor even touched Tian Qi’s lower abdomen and started to wonder at the amazing flatness of the area…

The journey of a generation’s male empress started because of four words.... more>>

“Send a dowry escort.”

During the 19th year of the Yuanqing Era, Qi Yunruo boarded a carriage and entered through a corner door of the second prince’s estate. Then, across the watery corridor, he gazed at the prince from afar.

———

The promotional record of a young teen married off as part of his legitimate sister’s dowry.

From two people who never met before to two people who could understand each other’s thoughts by just a glance.

There’s a type of happiness sparked when the most suitable people meet in the most suitable place.

Notes:
In order for aristocratic women in imperial China to marry into a family part of the upper nobility, they must be of the legitimate line and must also have a dowry escort that married into that family. That escort would be a “ying” (媵) and could be considered a concubine. <<less

The man I saved destroyed my country with his own hands.... more>>

I still remembered the day when I was given the title “Consort Yu” and my husband was kneeling outside of the palace for the night.

It happened to be New Year’s Eve that day, and there was a heavy snowfall.

Xu Tangan told me that he would treat me better than anyone else.

I could seek his power and status, but I must not seek his love. <<less

*The Four Great Female Constables – Book 1/4... more>>

Not all women in the world desire to fight for the position of the main wife.

Just like Bai Yuxiao who is very happy to be a concubine since she does not need to care about other things. Since she can sleep well, eat well, and live well, compared to the swords and shadows that lurk in Jianghu, the fight for power in the inner courtyards is like house wine.

When she is free and at leisure, she can also tease these women and she can also regulate herself mentally and physically ~ ~

However, this can only be used to pass the time. She still has to take care of her own important business. Although being a constable may seem dangerous, it could bring great wealth if exploited properly.

Who would have known that her husband, the Wangye who had not entered her bedchamber for two years, would suddenly look for her every day and cultivate on her every night! <<less

Ye Yu transmigrated into a self-cultivation novel.... more>>

Twice.

After her second transmigration, she became the evil female side lead of the novel.

In order to avoid a tragic ending, Ye Yu decided to stay away from the devil-like male lead. But she transmigrated over at an awkward time...

Therefore, the second day after Ye Yu transmigrated over, news spread in the devil world- The Demon King had just gotten married last night and got kicked out of the palace by the Devil Queen.

Demon officials: How bad must the Devil King's skills be?

Demon King: ...

After that-

Ye Yu said: Don’t come over! I am really not the female lead! Male lead, you have gotten the wrong person! <<less

After transmigrating into the body of an abandoned wife of a little marquis in Ancient China, Su Nuan Nuan, a modern-day food lover was delighted!... more>>

Who cares about being abandoned?

Look at this nice garden, just right for a vegetable patch, let’s just live our life freely without constraint. Dear husband can just play with those secondary wives and concubines, while she lives the luxurious and free life of an abandoned official wife.

Finally, she can fulfill her dream of doing nothing but eat, sleep and cook. Let’s cook more delicious food with all these all organic, non-GMO ingredients!

But the good times did not last long.

Her husband grew curious about the new and exciting dishes coming out of her little kitchen and wanted her back in his inner palace.

Too bad Nuan Nuan had no interest in being part of his harem.

Just go away, you s**tty Male Lead! <<less

First of all, this is not a story where the cannon fodder chambermaid counterattacks and gives the main wife a beat-down!... more>>

As a lowly s*ave who had been sold a total of six times, Xiao Hua has long become apathetic to her situation.

In her past life, she was a cannon fodder chambermaid who was beaten to death. In this life, she decided to turn over a new leaf and live honestly, yet in the end still ended up being sold off.

This prince’s estate seems to have pretty good benefits? She could be released at twenty-five, and they’d arrange a place for her to live under their jurisdiction? They’d even get rid of her s*ave records?

Great! That’s great! Xiao Hua thus decided to stay in the Jing Prince Estate and do her job properly. It’s a shame she could never overcome the whims of fate….

The master she serves is a “mute boy”, with several influences above him watching like tigers eyeing their prey. To say she doesn’t want to be pampered is definitely a lie. This is the road to survival of a “discreet girl” who clings on to her master’s leg and is solely pampered, yet feels that he never pampers her.

The road from a cannon fodder chambermaid to a beloved imperial consort is a little long…. <<less

He, Murong Fang Qing, a romantic, natural, unrestrained, and an absolute beauty. His greatest interest is to appreciate and flirt with beauties. His biggest regret is that he came from a Wulin* family but did not know martial arts.... more>>

That day, he just looked for flowers and willows in the brothel as usual. How could the Emperor abduct him to the palace by mistake and conferred the title of “Consort Qing”?

He thought it was a trick of fate but unexpectedly, it was a turning point of life.

One is an all-powerful Emperor.

One is the Lord in distress who has excellent martial arts and beautiful appearance but has fallen into dust.

One is General Ling Biao, a famous and affectionate man.

How can these three men who are equally outstanding look at him at the same time? Can they see his heart clearly? <<less

Ji Man had only read a light novel to pass the time, but she was unexpectedly pulled into a very strange dream. She had become the novel’s most vicious villainess.
 
The novel rewinds to the beginning. The villainess who had been ordered to commit su*cide reappears on stage and begins to follow the plot as she walks toward the novel’s ending once again, to a courtyard deep inside the marquis' residence. A female lead that’s like the Holy Mother. Countless cannon fodders. The imperial family’s favor… <<less

You are the ruler, I am the subject, you want my sacrifice, I will sacrifice for you.

This lifetime, we’ll only be a ruler and his subject…… I cannot become the one who accompanies you to experience everything.

A deposed empress, a failure of a substitute. Charging into battle, he was the emperor, and she, his general. But within the intimacy of their military tent, he was her husband, and she, his wife.

But everything was star-crossed. For the one he loved the most, he would push her into hell again and again. <<less

The first time they met, he was a downtrodden prince everybody bullied whilst she was a small palace maid responsible for washing the clothes of the people in the palace.... more>>

Twenty years of companionship; he is the only one capable of influencing her emotions. For him, she is willing to immerse her hands in the blood of others, to help him rule this world.

Even though she wasn’t the one he loved, and she wasn’t the one he married, she insisted on remaining by his side, aiming to become the one and only woman capable of standing by his side whilst he held court and the one and only woman in his harem – even if doing so would cause her to get insulted by the entire world.

However, that person whom she loved so much, that person for whom she committed all sorts of preposterous acts for – wanted her to die.

He said, “In this lifetime, I don’t wish to see you ever again!”

She returned to him as a spirit, yet he begged for another lifetime together.

“If we have another lifetime together, I want you to love me and respect me from a very young age, and help me clear all the obstacles standing in my way. You would be forced to watch me love one, and marry another – but both of them would not be you. You must love me so crazily and so deeply that everybody knows about it, and yet you would never be able to truly receive my entire love and affection. On innumerable occasions, you would be misunderstood by me, and hurt by me. The only few tears you shed in your entire lifetime would be for me, and ultimately you would have to die for me. Even after you die, you would not be allowed to rest in peace – instead, you would transform into a spirit and return to my side… Only if you do all these, would you be able to compensate me for what I have done in this lifetime.” <<less

Why was her fate so rough?... more>>

Everything has turned disastrous.

She, a high-flying working girl, has transmigrated into black charcoal.

In addition, a completely unfavoured Empress!

That pe*vert Emperor can go to hell!

No matter what life, men were to lick her toes.

Want her to serve a man? Dream on!

But, she didn’t expect the Emperor to be handsome and seductive.

She wasn’t interested in one moment but rolling with him in the next.

But his acceptance level is high, that he can chew on a piece of charcoal.

And she doesn’t mind reciprocating since he is the meal.

But this ancient man sees her as a new toy.

Did he think that by having her body he could have her heart?

Although she is now an ancient person herself, she has long decided she would not spend the rest of her life in the harem.

How could she let herself become a poor woman waiting for a man to occasionally bestow her with his favors…

All of his life was spent riding a war horse and accomplishing meritorious military services. But what was the result? In the end, he was cast aside once he had served his purpose.

Me: “Your majesty, this wanted fugitive is not a concubine in your palace. I’m not obligated to sleep with you!”

If Wei Zifu loved you, then her story could only have ended the way mine did.

People often said that the limits of love lay in one’s ability to endure – to endure the fact that the man we loved would have three wives and four concubines.

Wei Zifu managed to tolerate. So, she accompanied you by your side for thirty-eight years.

She could accomplish this because she did not love you.

All along, what she wanted was never love.

If, from the beginning, all I wanted was only the precious throne belonging to an Empress, perhaps I would not have lost you as quickly as I had.
