A deafening sound echoed through the sky, and Emperor Qiu Junyao made a dazzling entrance. After waking up, having been diagnosed with leukemia and prematurely departed before the college entrance examination, he found himself in an unfamiliar fictional dynasty. Seated beside him was a cold beauty in red, casting disdainful glances, while a group of young men knelt at his feet, feigning tears with emotionless faces. Several eunuchs, pinching their high-pitched voices, excitedly shouted, "The emperor has passed away!"... more>>

Qiu Junyao: "???"

He reached out, using his remaining strength to grasp the hand of the beautiful woman, declaring in a resounding voice, "I haven't passed away."

Beautiful Woman: "?"

Eunuchs: "?"

Young Men: "?”

Qiu Junyao's "feigned death" caused chaos all around. When he finally calmed down, he realized he had transmigrated into a troublesome role as an early-deceased emperor in a fictional world of devoted sons. The beauty by his side was his newly-wedded empress, and the kneeling princes below were eyeing his new wife.

In the original story, the emperor "Qiu Junyao" was oblivious to numerous betrayals, focused on alchemy, and died at the age of 35 due to excessive elixir consumption, leaving eccentric sons who forcibly took his new wife.

Qiu Junyao: "...You're the one with kidney deficiency, not me or my entire family!" (Emphasis×)

Calculating that he still had a few years until 35, Qiu Junyao, shocked from his near-death experience, kicked away the alchemy furnace. He dedicated himself to handling court matters, loving his people, avoiding unnecessary construction, and occasionally taking his beautiful wife to visit their sons. He even provided psychological counseling for his eccentric sons, managing his time effectively and becoming a qualified ruler.

Upon reaching his 35th birthday, Qiu Junyao prepared to die, but instead of succumbing to kidney deficiency, he found his beautiful wife and sons rushing to his sickbed. The once aloof beauty held his hand, crying and pleading for him to stay. The crown prince, usually praised for his gentle demeanor, kicked over the royal physician and grimly declared:

"If you can't cure Father Emperor, I'll bury you all!"

Qiu Junyao: "...”

Xue Yuan, the son of the current supreme general and the future regent, hiding a burning ambition, accompanied his father into the palace for the first time. That day, he looked up, hidden among the crowd of courtiers, and caught a glimpse of the young emperor’s face.

Naturally rebellious, he sneered, thinking contemptuously that the little emperor looked prettier than the palace ladies. With this too-beautiful appearance and weak body, how was he planning to rule the country?

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

A tr*shy princess who was obsessed with the big brother of the cute heroine and eventually poisoned the heroine to destroy her.

I made up my mind and prepared to run away. After saving the heroine, things went wrong.

“Those who touch her, chase them to the end of the world and destroy them.”

“Imperial family? The incompetent imperial family that makes Titania unhappy. They don’t matter anyway.”

“Hahahaha, they call me a mad dog. If a mad dog ​​bites people, is it crazy?”

Gee, calm down everyone.

Because I’m leaving to enjoy my dreams, hopes, and money in a seaside villa with beautiful waves! Everyone should be happy too!

As a rare Blue Star person with a healing ability, the treasure of the empire, Shi Xing died. ... more>>

He died in the third year after his spiritual sea dried up, the second year after his husband was forced to divorce him. When he learned that his husband was going to remarry, he didn’t believe it.

On that heartbreaking day, Shi Xing still had to go out to watch the grand wedding in the heavy snow. After confirming, Shi Xing fell into the snow, and before his pupils slackened, he vaguely saw a crystal snowflake falling into his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Xing came back to life, reborn, and returned to the matching dinner before his maturity. This time he passed the bamboo horse looking for him and stood in front of the tall man who was matched with him by the main brain according to his talent and ability.

Looking at the man, he anxiously asked, “Hi, are you willing to match me?”

The long silence made Shi Xing uneasy, he gestured with two knuckles, and said, “I’m good, I only need a little spar.”

As we all know, the Blue Star people live on crystals worth tens of thousands of gold, and their physique was very weak.

His Majesty was invited to the matching dinner every year but has not chosen any blue star to be his partner.

Just when the doctor asserted that His Majesty’s mental disorders could no longer be suppressed with drugs, the elders decided to force the last banquet before the match. This time, Chi Yao took away a blue star person.

According to legend, a powerful blue star person can not only heal, but also devour. Besieged by mutated beasts, lost contact with the support army, His Majesty’s blue star partner showed the talent of devouring, and wiped out all the high-level star beasts by himself.

When the news was sent back to the empire, the bamboo horse who has been looking for Shi Xing after the matching dinner, has blood red eyes. <<less

The Crown Prince is dead, and the Great Xuan Dynasty is in turmoil.... more>>

The rebel army is at the gates.

To stabilize the situation and uncover the cause of death of her twin elder brother, Zhao Yan, Princess Changfeng, has no choice but to disguise herself as a man and take on the role of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince, facing the wind and shedding blood.

On the night she enters the Eastern Palace, the Empress repeatedly admonishes her, “As the only prince of a different surname in this dynasty, the cunning Prince Su has controlled the court and the military for many years. His ambitious nature must not be underestimated!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan feels like she’s walking on thin ice every day, her heart pounding.

Until one day, Zhao Yan is ambushed.

When she wakes up, everything is chaotic, and there, the powerful Prince Su, with his disheveled hair and half-dressed attire, looks at her with his dangerously handsome and slightly raised eyes.

This is bad!

Zhao Yan’s mind goes blank, and she turns to run.

In the next moment, her sash is caught.

Prince Su sneers and his voice carries a hint of displeasure, “Running away so soon, isn’t that improper?”

“The Little Crown Prince” with ink-black hair scattered and a pale face stammers, “I… I’m going to review the memorials.”

“Sure.”

The man leisurely hooks her hair strands, his voice low and hoarse, “As the Crown Prince reads memorials, I shall read the Crown Prince.”

——–

People used to say that the naturally rebellious and unruly Prince Su has changed his ways, no longer causing trouble or rebellion, but instead assisting the Crown Prince. He stays overnight in the Eastern Palace every day and even shares a bed with the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that one day, it would be revealed that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is actually a girl disguised as a boy, causing turmoil in the court.

The whole court is in an uproar, and everyone speculates that Prince Su will seize this opportunity to overthrow the imperial power and take over.

However, during the court interrogation, Prince Su, draped in a black cloak, bows in front of the civil and military officials, reaching out to hold the delicate fingertips of the young girl.

“Don’t be afraid, let’s move forward.”

His voice is stern yet reassuring, as he calmly states, “If anyone dares to speak ill, I’ll kill them; if heaven obstructs, I’ll defy it.” <<less

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?
