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

Lin Xuexia and Fu Wei have been entangled for twelve years. In the year 2000, she agreed to marry him, and Fu Wei gave her a century-worth wedding that made waves across the nation.... more>>

On the second day of the wedding, she returned to twelve years ago.

Opening her eyes, she faintly heard Teresa Teng's song, feeling sore and weak all over. In the hazy dawn, she met a pair of somewhat fierce eyes.

The man said, "We've slept together, so I'm marrying you."

Lin Xuexia immediately slapped him and instructed him to ride a bicycle to take her back to the electronics factory.

In 1988, she was still a working girl looked down upon by her fiancé from the city. Fu Wei hadn't made his fortune yet, still running transportation and taking on projects with his brothers.

"Xuexia, you… you're back?" Zhou Jiajia saw Lin Xuexia standing next to a tall, sturdy man, looking stunned.

"Xuexia, you didn't come home all night. The director is looking for you. If you don't explain yourself, you'll be fired!"

Lin Xuexia sneered, "Why I didn't come home all night, don't you all know best?"

Lin Xuexia, who was despised by her college student fiancé, went to a nightclub with her "good sisters" from the factory to broaden her horizons. Because she was pretty, she was drugged and taken away by hooligans. While these "good sisters" were all "blind."

In this life, Lin Xuexia will never be a pushover again, neither will her entire family. She'll expose the scumbag fiancé and kick out the bloodsucking uncle and his family.

As for the man by her side… this is the karmic fate given to her by heaven, so she stopped struggling.

Fu Wei rescued her from the hands of the hooligans and claimed her. He was rude, rough, and domineering… completely different from the cultured college student husband Lin Xuexia had dreamed of since childhood.

But he spoiled her with all her bad temper.

Lin Xuexia caressed her belly. At this time, she hadn't lost her fertility due to abortion… she was pregnant with Fu Wei's child.

*

Zhou Jiajia thought Lin Xuexia had been taken away by hooligans and was defiled. Even if she had another college student fiancé, she would end up just like them, buried in the mud.

Who would have thought that there would be a tall, handsome man appearing by her side?

Originally thought to be a small subcontractor, unexpectedly turned out to be a retired military officer, a model entrepreneur, and one of the first to open a construction company.

Watching Lin Xuexia open restaurants, run hotels, move into luxury homes, and drive luxury cars, the man who became a real estate tycoon cautiously surrounded her and coaxed her, "Wife, I was wrong." <<less

Su Yan is a cake shop owner with a cute and harmless appearance. Others praise her for her gentle personality, understanding nature, and her exquisite cake decorating skills. One day, due to an accident, she transmigrated into the role of Su Yanting, a supporting character in a period drama.... more>>

Su Yanting is a stunning village beauty. Her parents have arranged a good marriage for her with Zeng Yunjun, a promising military officer from a neighboring village. However, on the day of her wedding, she caused a scene, leading Zeng Yunjun to marry her younger sister, Su Yuting, who is the reincarnated female lead.

Zeng Yunjun's decision to marry Su Yuting instead of Su Yanting infuriates her. Consumed by jealousy, she starts causing trouble and meddles in the relationship between Zeng Yunjun and Su Yuting. However, the more she interferes, the stronger the bond between the male and female leads becomes. Su Yanting becomes nothing more than a cannon fodder and stepping stone for the main characters' relationship development, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

Su Yan becomes Su Yanting, transforming from a docile and innocent girl into a seductive troublemaker. While the right thing to do would be to stay away from the main characters and lead her own happy life, she can't help but want to experience the allure of being a seductive troublemaker herself!

Admiring her fox-like beauty in the mirror, Su Yanting dresses up beautifully and accompanies Su Yuting to visit the male lead in the military area, not to win him back, but to disgust the male and female leads.

Su Yanting displays her charm in front of the male lead's comrades, causing everyone to think, "The male lead must be blind." Satisfied with herself, she intends to go back and wash away her seductive image. However, just because she flirted a little, she managed to capture the heart of a tough, iron-blooded man.

The male lead's superior approaches her and says, "Comrade Su, would you consider being in a relationship with me?"

Su Yanting: "…"

Looking at the towering figure of the man, she wants to refuse, but she is timid and is not a genuine troublemaker, so she can't bring herself to say no. She can't muster the courage to refuse outright for fear of his anger, so she reluctantly agrees to consider it, using delaying tactics to buy time.

Initially agreeing to consider a relationship, Su Yanting tries various methods to drive the man away, hoping he'll give up voluntarily. However, he refuses to give up. As Su Yanting becomes more and more enchanting, she inadvertently turns him into a notorious doting husband.

***

After Su Yuting is reborn, she successfully disrupts her elder sister's marriage, and unexpectedly becomes the one Zeng Yunjun, her sister's former husband, wants to marry.

She initially feels guilty, but her elder sister's behavior becomes increasingly outrageous, pushing her towards her former brother-in-law…

However:

"Su Yanting married someone else!"

"Brother-in-law unexpectedly regrets it!" <<less

In the mansion of the Duke of Tang in Jinyang, a pair of twin brothers resided. The elder brother, Li Shimin, was physically robust and excelled in martial arts, while the younger, Li Xuanba, had been consuming medicines from the time he was born. It was often said that twins shared a mysterious telepathic link. Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke, confirmed these rumors to be true.... more>>

After several moments of shock caused by the astonishing words originating from Li Xuanba's mind, Li Shimin decided to confront his twin. "Xuan, do you know that each time you focus your mind, I can hear your thoughts? Can you possibly stop doing so? I prefer not to listen." Li Xuanba, known far and wide as the fragile son who was always under the weather retorted, "No. If you're dissatisfied, you can talk as well." Li Shimin, though physically healthy but mentally not as robust as Li Xuanba, tried with all his might to conjure a mental expression, only managing to squeeze out a single character after turning a shade of purple. "Ah!!!!!!!" This left Li Xuanba almost laughing himself into convulsions.

In his previous life, Li Xuanba worked as an editor for a historical marketing account. He had specialized in trolling Li Shimin to gain traffic. However, after overworking himself to death one night, he was reborn as the fragile twin brother of Li Shimin, a character from a historical fiction novel famous for a bravery akin to that of Xiang Yu, but in reality died of illness at the age of sixteen. Li Xuanba thought, "Oh ho, this is retribution." Regardless, he decided to go with the flow, even telling his brother, "Hey, if you want any spoilers, I'll tell you!" Li Shimin, exasperated, retorted, "I don't want to hear anything!!"

Years later, Li Shimin was adorned in dragon robes, his hands stained with fresh blood. Li Xuanba, frail as ever, was still alive. One day, after Li Xuanba fell onto the ground pretending to faint after an argument with Wei Zheng, Li Shimin hoisted his brother onto his back and set off running, just like when they were children. "Hahaha, brother, you should have seen how twisted old Wei's face was!" Li Xuanba laughed. "Shut up!" replied Li Shimin. "Congratulations, brother. You can finally say two words, hehe." Once again, Li Shimin displayed a grimace of annoyance, carrying his bothersome brother forward with each step.

Footnote:
This is a story that the author enjoys writing, filled with palace intrigue, sibling rivalry, and acts of patricide. It's an alternative history, filled with many unfounded rumors and private settings. The dialogs and appellations are more modernized instead of being authentic to the Tang Dynasty. The main characters are far from perfect: Li Shimin has his flaws as a feudal emperor; Li Xuanba is even less of a good person, his main priority being his own well-being. Updates are daily. If any changes, an announcement will be made.

Next up is the lengthy novel "Ren Xiaojun Liu Ying Ye of the Great Han Dynasty". Please add it to your favorites! In this story, Liu Ying awakens his memories from a past modern life at the age of five. He knows his "history". He remembers his father, Liu Bang, tried to depose him, and his mother, Lü Zhi, attempted to scare him to death. All these memories ignited his anger towards his cruel parents.

Re:Zero Another Memory Snow is a limited edition side story.

Jiang Bao never thought she would have a younger twin sister.….. they were fraternal twins with totally different looks and personalities, and the other twin had always been wandering outside.... more>>

She was 16 when she enrolled in Massachusetts (MIT), where she lived in a manor with a horseracing track. She was the top rich and beautiful young lady in the social circle, with an overbearing personality.

Lin Can was the meal ticket for her whole family, with low self-esteem. She was arranged to work as a hostess and was discriminated against in school and by the members of her 18 line girl group.

When the fair rich beauty and the poor girl exchange bodies, everyone around them notices that the girl who always wanted fame and experienced extreme bullying and criticism, and the prideful and aloof girl are different from before..

Notes:
1. Fair Rich Beauty is directly translated from the Chinese term 白富美 (baifumei), which is a positive term and refers to a girl who is fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful in appearance.
2. 18 line girl group, or 十八线女团 (shi ba xian nu tuan), is a chinese term that refers to an unpopular girl group, often known to take more measures to gain traction compared to famous groups. A K-pop equivalent term would be a nugu girl group. <<less

Her heart was pounding very loudly as she cried hard.

Looking back at her past self, she was always like this.

She was always helpless against him. His demeanor was so strong that she felt very alarming, as if it was a kind of warning from something.

But she ignored it. Because she wanted to be free. So she finally decided to fly but at the end....she had to pay the price.

****

“Ga-eun, if I want you to do it, then you have to do it.”

Eternal possession and a complete dependence. That's what I want from her.

'Because that's the kind of love I want from her.'

“I will decide everything. If I want you to laugh then you have to laugh and if I want you to take it off, then you must take it off.”

But before I could realize that it was not love, but a twisted obsession of mine and a terrible violence against her.

She was already gone......
