On the day my husband-to-be was escorted to the execution ground, I entered his household… Yun Lian was destined for wealth but never its fortune. ... more>>

In her previous life, she had arduously climbed up to become an HR director with an annual salary just crossing seven figures. In the blink of an eye, she found herself transmigrated.

In this new world, she embodied a character affluent and beautiful, betrothed to a highly learned man from an illustrious background.

However, the timing couldn’t have been worse.

Her prospective in-laws were all villains who had recently been thrown into prison. Her fiancé took upon himself all the blame, ensuring the release of his entire family.

The original owner sought to dissociate herself from this sinking ship by hitching onto the coattails of the newly enthroned emperor. Not only did she kick him while he was down, but she also personally went to the jail to humiliate her fiancé severely. On the very day her fiancé was being led to the execution grounds for beheading, she packed her dowry and, clutching a rooster, defied her entire family’s opposition to enter her fiancé’s now-tumultuous home. The benevolent new emperor decreed that one person’s crime should be borne by that person alone, sparing the rest of the family from punishment but stripping them of their titles and official posts, reducing them to commoners.

Her future father-in-law could not withstand the shock and fell gravely ill. The matriarch of the family struggled to keep everything together, barely hanging on. The mother-in-law knew nothing except weeping. Below them were two young twin brothers and a half-sister.

Yun Lian led this extended family away from the political strife of the capital to settle down in their ancestral countryside. She saw to it that even the mischievous younger siblings started learning practical skills from an early age. The seemingly naive mother-in-law would soon toughen up under the sun’s rays. The aging matriarch, despite her frailty, proved surprisingly spry when tending to livestock or gathering pigweed. And as for the heartbroken father-in-law, Yun Lian ensured everyone was taken care of meticulously. With her legs propped up, basking in the sun and perusing account books, she found life quite agreeable indeed.

In this ancient era, she neither married nor engaged in harem intrigue; instead, she had a bunch of little rascals to manage, which wasn’t so bad.

Just as she settled into this idyllic rhythm, her fiancé – whom she believed had long been executed – suddenly appeared with a group of bodyguards.

The guards knelt and declared loudly, “We respectfully invite the Queen Empress to enter the palace!”

Her handsome fiancé gazed at her with profound affection capable of drowning a person, calling out, “Lian’er~”

Yun Lian: ???

Lin Qingxu awoke to the startling realization that she had been transported into a book, assuming the role of the 18th cannon fodder destined to wed the future villain.... more>>

In this world, the antagonist possessed unrivaled magical prowess and a captivating countenance that bewitched all who beheld him, yet he led a mundane existence day by day. His relentless pursuit of the heroine led to constant clashes with the male protagonist, whom he secretly aided in ascending to godhood. Meanwhile, the heroine, buoyed by the male protagonist's endeavors, triumphed over adversity with a joyful heart.

As a denizen of this fictional realm, Lin Qingxu only recalled her demise two years prior, just before her scheduled nuptials.

Lin Qingxu lamented, "I refuse to marry, I refuse to meet my end..."

To his astonishment, the villain responded with a reassuring smile, "Fear not, for you are the one I cherish above all." <<less

“The person who succumbed to binge-watching until four in the morning, Su Li Mo, might just be the first.... more>>

Upon waking up, she found herself transformed into the Pure Consort of Emperor Qianlong’s harem. Not only was she 32 years old, but she also had an eight-year-old eldest son, a son barely two years old, and, oh, a new-born daughter who hadn’t even reached a month old yet. It’s utterly heart-breaking.

To make matters worse, historically, this Pure Consort only lived to be 47 years old! And her children suffered even more! Her second son passed away at the age of 47, her eldest son at 26, and her youngest daughter at 23…

Save me! Save me!”

“Emperor Qianlong lived to be 87 years old, and there were several concubines in his harem who managed to live past 70, with some even outliving Qianlong by an additional two years.

Upon calming down and carefully considering it, although the harem may be wicked, as long as one earnestly perseveres and takes good care of their health, perhaps one could still live to a ripe old age of 99… as a seasoned old salted fish.”

“The black-bellied beauty gong × the proud seductive emperor shou”... more>>

Li Qingyun is a cruel and foolish king who is notorious for committing all kinds of wicked acts in the Kingdom of Yong. After falling into the water, he woke up and discovered that he was actually the cruel emperor scumbag in a heart-throb novel.

In the plot: He destroyed the protagonist shou’s country, trapped him in the harem, broke his pride, and used all sorts of methods to obtain the protagonist shou. In the end, he was killed in prison by the heartthrob protagonist shou and a group of dog-licking cannon fodder gong—the country was ruined, the family was destroyed, and he died with his eyes open1.

T/L note: 1 死不瞑目: to die with remaining grievances

Li Qingyun looked at the protagonist shou, Dugu Li who had his country destroyed by him and was punished to kneel in the snow, then fell into deep thought. He (Li Qingyun) decided to change his methods, treat Dugu Li well, send him warmth, and change Dugu Li’s hatred for him. In the end, Li Qingyun successfully embraced the beauty.

“A-Li, I won’t force you to do things you don’t want to do anymore. Why don’t you smile at me?”

“A-Li, I will give you as much freedom as possible. Are you happy?”

"Who are you?"

An elderly woman's voice. So this was the old woman with the golden eyes. An intense heat radiated from her breath, a little ragged with tension. A shiver ran down his spine.

There was a strong life force in that old woman.

"I am not the one you should be doing this to."

"Are you the son of a noble house?"

A rough, hoarse voice was his preference. The sarcasm was intriguing, and he found himself wanting to play along.

And now, we need to know about <Jerome>.

<Jerome> had a room to himself. George said it was because there weren’t enough students, but I didn’t believe him. I instinctively disliked <Jerome> from the moment I first saw him. He was similar in height and build to me, but somehow seemed larger and stronger. His equestrian physique was slim and agile, and his hands were slightly larger than average.

Because he rode horses every day, he often wore riding clothes. With white riding pants clinging to his legs, black boots, and a loose-collared shirt, he carried a leather riding crop. I especially disliked that crop. <Jerome> would often, as a joke, lift the tip of Hugh’s chin with the leather loop attached to the end of the crop, and the sight was extremely uncomfortable. <<less

I am Everiel Solgren.... more>>

I died at the age of fourteen along with the fall of my lineage, in the hands of the emperor.

“I’m weally…”

I thought I was dead. But when I opened my eyes, I found myself back on my birthday nine years ago.

“Am I seriously five years old now?”

Momentary confusion amidst the inexplicable regression. If things go as planned, Solgren will perish once again, and so will I.

To avoid a dreadful fate, the only way is to bolster my father’s, Duke Herwin Solgren’s, influence to resist against the emperor.

Yeah. If Dad protects me, I’ll be fine! That’s all there is to it… except for one little problem.

“Cough, cough…!”

My dad is too frail.

What should I do?

* * *

Herwin silently drew his sword. The blood dripping from the blade belonged to the assassins scattered in the corridor.

“Sloppy.”

“I suppose this will suffice.”

As rumored, Herwin was ‘known’ to be frail. A sickly Northern duke so weak he couldn’t even leave his bed, let alone his chamber. But contrary to gossip, Herwin was strong. Overwhelmingly so, capable of facing multiple assailants alone without breaking a sweat.

Eligos, whose arm was wrapped around me, slowly stooped his head down, and we closely sensed each other’s breath. His firm fingers dazedly rubbed my lower lips.

A sequel to the drama, Empresses in the Palace (Zhen Huan Zhuan), Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace tells the story of Ula Nara Ruyi and the Qianlong Emperor, Aisin Gioro Hongli, from their loving acquaintance to mutual loss and disillusionment. ... more>>

Arc 1 Intro:

The palace walls have great depth, reflecting a deep vermilion. In the harem, power and position are always linked to the Emperor’s favor. The overt and covert fights between the concubines are just like the frigid winter, so cold that it reaches the bottom of people’s hearts.

The Ula Nara family background once brought supreme honor to Qingying, Hongli’s Secondary Consort. After Hongli ascended the throne, the shifts in power in the harem and the court made her identity awkward, as though there was a target on her back. To protect herself, Qingying asked the Empress Dowager to bestow a new name, “Ruyi”, and was granted the position of Concubine Xian. She lived in Yanxi Palace and was at the time bereft of power. In fact, for her, the downward spiral has just begun… <<less

"Call me Leopold."... more>>

'Leopold? The tyrant emperor Leopold that I know?'

To avoid death, Yerin, who had possessed the villainess Ariel in the novel, avoided Leopold for nearly ten years. She even went so far as to study abroad to stay away from him.

Despite countless efforts, the man she spent one night with at her first social event turned out to be Leopold!

What a twist of fate.

She knew in her head that she shouldn't get involved…., but her heart wanted him.

"Promise me. Promise me that tonight will remain a secret for the rest of our lives."

"I promise."

As his words fell on her ears, Ariel, driven by her instincts, surrendered her body to him, wrapping her white legs around his waist, unwilling to allow even the slightest gap.

***

Was it a mistake to believe in a promise spoken only in bed?

"Where did you run off to after taking my first night?"

"Why are you acting like this!"

“It’s true that you stole my v**ginity, so I’m proposing a contractual marriage.”

Ariel was being proposed to by the man who would eventually kill her.

To add insult to injury, the conditions of the contract were even more absurd.

"My desired condition for the contract is simple."

"This... What does it mean?"

「4. To be faithful in our relationship as a married couple.」

If I can't subdue her, my life is over.

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

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: "...”
