This book is Jiang Yingliu’s memoir, which narrates Liu’er life from Beauty to Empress in the palace. Under the plain sentences lies the difficult life in the palace for more than 50 years. Inside the palace, everyone is pitiful. The author describes the majority of “my” life in the palace after “I” accidentally entered the palace in first-person perspective and shows a different life in the imperial harem. Rather than intrigue and contention, the life here is quite peaceful and happy. Finally, I wish them reincarnate as civilians next life and never enter the palace again as they wished.... more>>

Pink hands so fine,
Gold-branded wine,
Spring paints the willows green
palace walls can’t confine.
East wind unfair,
Happy times rare.　　
In my heart sad thoughts throng;　　
We severed for years long.　　
Wrong, wrong, wrong!　　
Spring is as green,　
In vain she’s lean,　　
Her kerchief soaked with tears and red with stains unclean.　　
Peach blossoms fall　　
Near deserted hall.　　
Our oath is still there. Lo!　　
No word to her can go. 　　
No, no, no! <<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 surpassingly gorgeous favorite consort is still surpassingly gorgeous, but her dancing has an unshakeable air of square dance.

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

A seafood chef inexplicably transmigrated into ancient times. Even though he landed in a family with a noble rank, and theoretically was supposed to be rich, the most valuable thing in the house is a grey donkey…... more>>

Su Yu stared at the sky helplessly; in order to support the family, he could only take up his old profession and go out to sell fish.

Unfortunately, the royal family selected concubines from both genders. Even as a poor noble, he had no choice but to attend…

DISCUSSION TOPIC: Will I be selected if I display my fish-slaughtering skills?

“Meow!” His Imperial Majesty shook his tail. <<less

The story between a super tsundere and ruthless emperor vs a soft and tender scheming beauty.... more>>

Rong Xi is the daughter of a convicted official. After entering the palace, she concealed her beautiful appearance and became the maidservant of the Fourth Prince.

Fourth Prince Mu Huai was born as fair as jade and as refreshing as the breeze in the moonlight, yet he is a cripple in a wheelchair, making him violent and withdrawn.

All the palace servants tremble in fear before him and none dare to serve him. Rong Xi, this person with a good temper and unyielding patience was pushed out instead.

One month later, the Fourth Prince allowed Rong Xi to sit on his lap, shocking everyone in the palace.

Six months later, the Fourth Prince’s legs were healed, and he entered the Eastern Palace to become the Crown Prince, yet Rong Xi died.

While Mu Huai did not reveal any sadness, his hair turned white overnight.

The Emperor Mu Huai died early in his previous life and never married. Before he passed away, he made the deceased daughter of the Rong Family as Empress, and specially ordered his younger brother to bury her with him in the imperial mausoleum.

After rebirth, Mu Huai returned to the day before Rong Xi died and was able to make up his past life’s regret, saving the person in his heart. <<less

I am Zhao Tangtang, the sixth princess of the Zhao Kingdom. I thought I would always be an unpampered salted fish forever, but when I was six years old, my father emperor suddenly had the ability to read heart voices and I was pampered to the sky.... more>>

For the past six years, the only thing I've been doing besides eating and waiting for death is digging dog holes, because I know that my second imperial brother is the male protagonist in this book, and after he usurps the throne, I will become the chicken in the 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey' scenario.

That's right, I've been transmigrated into this book since I was born. I know all the plots in this book and have memorized all of them in my mind. But, aside from that, all I have is this not-so-smart brain of mine.

I've never thought about competing for favor to increase my sense of presence.. because I know that I can't win. I've never underestimated the IQ of the ancient people, and I don't feel that I will have a chance to win just because I'm a transmigrator. <<less

In her last life, everyone said that Su Ling had a good life, a matchless beauty born from a high family. Her father was the Great General of Zhen and her elder brother was a high official of the Supreme Court.... more>>

She was married to Prince Jin as his consort and two years later she became the empress of Great Zhou.

Nobody can compete with someone so honorable.

Like this, in the first year of Yanxi era, Duke of Zhen deserted the army just before the war, and so, the Su family was accused of treason.

Su Ling died in the back palace after giving birth to a son.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the daughter of a fifth-ranked grand scribe—Qin Ling.

Waking up from the dream, although she will no longer be concerned about the fickle man, she has no choice but to enter the palace once again for the child she had given birth to.

On the day of the draft, the emperor leans against the Dragon Throne with drooped eyes and without a word while rubbing his eyebrows impatiently.

Even while sighing, he never lifts his eyes once.

Until Qin Ling walks in, and with the exact same face as Empress Su, says: Wishing the emperor boundless happiness, good luck, and a long life.

Up the throne, the emperor suddenly raises his head. He looks absent-minded and the tea cup falls to the ground.

Desperately whispers: Ah Ling. <<less

Gu Yu Qi, a daughter born to a marquis household. She was beautiful with knowledge in both civil and military, and her kindness broader than the sky. It was love at first sight for her, and she insisted on marrying him and was happy even if she were to become a mistress. She worked hard to help him step by step to become the emperor.... more>>

But what happened to her in the end?

For ten whole years, she was humiliated and abandoned. Disheartened, she drank poison to end her life and set her place on fire, only to find herself back to when she was ten years old. It was the year she followed her mother into the capital. It wasn’t too late to change her fate.

If Yun Ke had any regrets in his previous life, then it would be how he always kept thinking about a woman who died decades ago. Because of that, before he died, he secretly had the woman’s ashes pressed beneath his coffin. As the emperor, he had the final say of everything under the sky. So how could he allow that woman to be arrogant in front of him? Even at his deathbed, he would crush her beneath him.

Who knew he’d be reborn again…

When the transmigrated girl meets the boy who was reborn, Gu Yu Qi simply wanted to yell at the sky. Just what are you playing at!? <<less

Even the most capable people cannot escape calamity. Zhang Ping, who dreamed of becoming the world’s best, voluntarily enters the palace to become a eunuch before his father has to resort to plundering and crime. ... more>>

How can a prince be so thin and bony, that was Zhang Ping’s first impression of Huangfu Jie.

The prince looks at the kneeling eunuch, the scars and wounds on his body not yet healing.

Zhang Ping’s eyes turn red—I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!

He is just little uglier; weirder than normal people.

Are ugly people not human? I, Zhang Ping, swear to cultivate the world’s second best over here in the palace! <<less

Empress Dowager Yi An finally achieved great success in this life, her son became the emperor.... more>>

She had a bad fortune in the first half of her life but she was favored by the former Emperor for the second half of her life.

In this situation she should be happy however there was one problem, a tired heart.

If one may ask, who is not tired in this deep palace?

When she woke up, she went back to her fifteen-year-old self, and was still a ‘thin horse’.

When she was sent to the capital as a tool for connection, thus the story began…

Note : ‘thin horse’ [shòu mǎ 瘦马] – was a term used to denote girls reared specifically for the purpose of supplying Yangzhou City’s [Jiangsu Province] market in concubines. <<less

Ye Shu transmigrated into the book he had just read and became the first cannon fodder minister who was brought down by the tyrannical male lead, suffering a death by a thousand cuts, turned into dust, that kind of thing.... more>>

Ye Shu resolutely packed up and decided to abscond before this could happen. On the road, feeling that he had been drugged, he accosted someone for help.

Who would have expected that he would wake up the next day with the tyrant smiling beside him. “Did you sleep well?”

Ye Shu: “……”

To survive, Ye Shu was forced to enter the palace as a consort, and henceforth, lived a harsh life of being ordered around and squeezed by the tyrant.

When the tyrant annotated folding memorials[1], he refilled his tea and ground more ink.

When the tyrant ate, he tested his dishes for hidden drugs.

When the tyrant retired for the night, he was even responsible for warming his bed.

It wasn’t until his belly started to grow that Ye Shu noticed that the book he had transmigrated into seemed to be a bit buggy……

This f*cking world was actually ABO.

He hadn’t been drugged, previously… That was the first differentiation period as he became a Kunjun!

Tyrant: “This Qianjun’s rut period is coming, my beloved consort……”

Ye Shu slammed the bedchamber’s door in front of the tyrant. “Heh, not a chance.”

Note : [1] Folding memorial – Memorials were an official communication to the Emperor of China. A “Folding Memorial”, for instance, was to be written on pages small enough for the emperor to hold them in his hand and read without being observed. <<less

Three years after entering the palace, Yongning Palace’s Beautiful Lady Yan Shu, has still never met the Emperor.... more>>

The palace full of concubines tried to win his favour, only she, immersed in a melon eating system, has no time to spare for him.

[The heir of Marquis Lin Wu isn’t his son, tsk tsk.]

[A high ranking official in the conservative Ministry of Rites is unexpectedly taking part in a taboo relationship with his own daughter-in-law!!!]

[Grand Princess Yi Ma’s prince consort has unexpectedly raised several concubines outside!]

Everyday is filled with gossip, who would still remember who the Emperor was?

How would she know that one day, she actually ate a shockingly big melon——

[The iron-blooded Emperor who seems cold and aloof on the surface actually suffers from an unspeakable unmentionable disease.]

Yan Shu, “!!! No wonder he never enters the harem!”

Wait…

There seems to be something wrong somewhere… then what did she enter the palace for?!!

The new Emperor, Yu Wen Lan, has two secrets.

Since his ascension to the throne, he has gradually lost his male functions; yet at the same time, he can read minds.

Getting used to seeing their false words and hypocritical faces every day, he grew all the more unfeeling.

That was, until one day, he heard a special heart’s voice——

[Isn’t this a f*cking waste of natural resources?]

Yu Wen Lan paused, narrowing his eyes to look in the direction of a delicately pretty and pure looking girl.

[God, for you to make such a handsome hunk unable to XX, doesn’t your conscience hurt at all?]

[Is there any way to revive it???]

[Ten-fold complete rejuvenation of spring pill, restoration of a man of character pill; if those don’t work, then have you tried return of the yang acupuncture?]

Yu Wen Lan, “???”

Until she ascended to the position of Empress, Yan Shu also didn’t know how she had jumped unreasonably on the Emperor’s bottom line repeatedly, yet had jumped straight in, becoming the first person to be in his heart.

Perhaps, it was just her good luck. <<less

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

Her life seemed perfect.

Yet, it was at the age of twenty-four, on a day in early winter, that her life tragically froze in time.

After her death, her spirit lingered long in the imperial city. She saw her children crying out for their mother, witnessed the deep, bone-deep love of her stern husband, and observed the great changes sweeping through the kingdom of Dayue. She saw her son’s throne usurped and her family imprisoned.

Filled with indignation, Chu Yin was miraculously revived. Awakening, she found herself back at the age of twenty-one. In this life, she thought, she wanted to live longer, to achieve a truly flawless perfection in her life!

Lu Jingzhuo, the crown prince, noticed that his wife had been acting strangely, seemingly trying to seduce him at every turn. Given their usual rationality and lack of deep romantic entanglement, he wondered… perhaps she simply wanted another child?

Chu Yin: ???

A sweet and light-hearted imperial romance, focusing on joy and ease.” <<less

“When I tell you to do A, you can’t ignore it and do B,” the Prince said.... more>>

“Sure,” she replied. She’ll just do C, then! No biggie.

“If I tell you to go east, you can’t ignore me and go west,” the Prince added.

“Yes,” she nodded. If she can’t go west, north or south works fine too.

“You are NOT allowed to have an affair with other men!” the Prince emphasized.

“Naturally,” she said. Why would she have an affair with others when they could just have it with her?

Qu Tan’er has transmigrated into the body of a noble young lady and forced to marry the ice-cold 8th prince. Her only care in this world is finding a way to get back to her original world, and dealing with all the politics and intrigue surrounding the marriage is just a distraction.

Passerby-A is increasingly dissatisfied with their small part in the drama. By chance, Luo Ran was born because of this one sentiment. Her purpose is only one – to add scenes!... more>>

If you want to add scenes, you have to be with people who have more scenes. And those who have the most, are the male lead!

In the imperial harem, she is the second-class maid-in-waiting who died early beside the female lead.

In the immortal world, she is a flower demon who was mistakenly killed by the female lead before she was transformed.

In the CEO world, she is the smart secretary of the President.

In the entertainment world, she is a singer who has nothing to do with the male lead.

Luo Ran uses these identities to attack the male lead and fulfill the desires of passers-by A; to add more scenes!

TN:

Passerby-A = Anonymous person, someone unimportant with a tiny role.

Add scene = to add value to a role with more scenes. <<less

The original cannon fodder, relying on his beauty and fertile physique, he thought that he had been loved by the tyrant for a while but in the end he was killed. His body was not even left intact.

The most frightening thing is that he had been transmigrated to the night when he was offered to the tyrant. He called the sky and the earth for help but it failed, waiting for the tyrant to arrive—

After a long time, the tyrant became a virtuous man and cultivated himself, but a more exciting news spread rapidly:
