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

When the Emperor decided to banish me to the cold palace.... more>>

I heard his thoughts:

【How annoying! I can’t sleep with the Empress tonight.】

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.

Saye, who struggled to even keep herself alive, only wishes to escape the harem and step out into the world. But Kainer, who has become the Sultan, has no intention of letting her go and shocks her by telling her that she was the only reason he had become the Sultan…

As the most beloved daughter of the Emperor, Zhaoyang Princess Li Zhenzhen faced the biggest and only crisis in her life when she was fifteen years old. It turns out that she is not the daughter of her Father Emperor, but the daughter of her Mother Consort and a guard.

She knelt in front of Wende Hall, begging to see her father. Li Yue, who had been raising her for fifteen years, suddenly announced her to enter.

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

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…

The modern-day doctor Lin Haihai has transmigrated into the body of the sixth princess consort. ... more>>

The woman who had been mistreated her whole life was going to be divorced by her husband, the Sixth Prince, to make room for his childhood lover.

Lin Haihai couldn’t care less.

All she wanted was to start her own hospital and focus on her career.

Equipped with her knowledge as a 21st-century woman, she soon won over the hearts of the common people, and perhaps a few men’s.

She didn’t need love, of course, or so she thought.

Fate had other plans for her, and she found herself falling for a man she shouldn’t want, and faced with the choice between love and the greater good of the nation. <<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

His Majesty hits his head and upon waking finds that everything around him has become peculiar.... more>>

His dignified and virtuous empress is still dignified and virtuous, but she's taller than His Majesty by half a head.

His utterly loyal commander of the guard is still utterly loyal, but he keeps trying to crawl into His Majesty's bed for a heart-to-heart.

His burningly ambitious younger brother is still burningly ambitious, but his aim is no longer His Majesty's throne, but a chance to spend some quality time with His Majesty.

His Majesty senses ill will from the whole world. <<less

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.

She is well-aware that she is just his pawn, yet falls for his real or imaginary gentleness. While he constantly reminds himself that she is a descendant of his enemy, so he cannot fall in love with her. Yet he also loses himself in her gentleness, gradually forgetting his original intention…

Lingering and deep love cannot overcome past events, the grievance entangling two generations of people.

He implements his revenge plan progressively. No matter how well he calculates, he still forgets to include himself in the calculation. If not for the heartache that feels like bone erosion when losing her, he will not realize that he had unconsciously fallen deeply in love with her long ago…
