In the third year of Yifeng, the illegitimate daughter of the Ningyang Marquis' household entered the palace.... more>>

Entering the palace is like stepping into an unfathomable sea; the only rule is to never fall in love.

Ning Shuyan was well aware of this. What she sought were wealth, power, and the Emperor's favor. Over three years, she planned meticulously, captivating the Emperor's attention and climbing from the rank of Cairen to Noble Consort.

The harem whispered that the Emperor's affection for women was dictated by utility and interest. When Xiao Yu first met her, he was intrigued by this woman. He said, "I didn't expect her to have such beauty." Everyone claimed that his interest in her was merely fleeting. Yet, that fleeting interest turned into a lifetime of favor for Ning Shuyan.

Xiao Yu later admitted: At first, he was drawn to her looks, then captivated by her alluring charm.

Unexpectedly, a lifetime passed, and no matter how much he looked at her, he never grew tired.

To him, she was gentle and enchanting, pure and kind, and deeply devoted to him. Even years later, she remained unchanged in his heart, as radiant as ever, with his love for her growing stronger with time. <<less

The divine beast cub living in the Classic of Mountains and Seas opened its eyes and became the little prince of the Qichao royal family.... more>>

The little prince had no mother, and no one to love him.

——

The cub who transmigrated in didn’t want to die like this.

He struggled to move his short legs, stumbling out to find food for himself.

Bang!

The cub bumped into the most favored but ruthless noble consort in the harem.

Cub: “Fin, finished.”

——

Later, the most arrogant and impatient noble consort, seeing the mischievous cub climbing trees, spent the whole afternoon coaxing him gently.

“Cub, be good, mother loves you the most. Come down, mother won’t scold you.”

——

The cub, favored and spoiled by the noble consort, had the ability to foresee the future.

He saw the beautiful but lovesick noble consort mother, ultimately executed by the ruthless dog emperor.

The eldest brother, who had the greatest talent for governing the country, died wrongly due to human error

The bright and passionate second sister was offered to the aging emperor of Great Qing for reconciliation.

The gentle and smiling third brother, the year after the eldest brother’s death, followed him.

The domineering fourth brother, the reserved and shy fifth sister…

None of them had a good ending.

Their country was also destroyed by the cruel young crown prince of Great Qing.

——

The cub, who foresaw the ending, looked at his beloved mother and siblings.

He puffed up his cheeks and changed everyone’s fate one by one!

For the lovesick noble consort, the cub helped her.

For the brothers and sisters who were to be sacrificed to Great Qing, the cub packed his little bag and went himself!

——

Seeing the cub being sent away, the royal brothers, sisters, and noble consort looked at the palace gate, their eyes red with tears.

The noble consort mother was completely cured of her lovesickness and began to reform the ruthless dog emperor.

The princes no longer fought internally but tearfully swore—

For the cub’s humiliation today, they would repay it in the future!

——

In the eyes of relatives, the cub would surely be humiliated when he arrived at Great Qing.

However, no one expected.

The most ruthless crown prince of Great Qing was now half-kneeling by the bed, coaxing the drunken cub.

“I won’t destroy your country, I won’t let you be the fallen country’s little prince.”

“Whatever you say, goes.”

*Childhood sweethearts, collectively pampered cub

*Very sweet

Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??

Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something? <<less

Her plans, however, came to an abrupt halt when the emperor’s Grand Advisor made a startling offer, which was for her to join the inner palace for six months as the young emperor’s consort and educate him to be a responsible ruler.

Sigh, it still takes a good mother to raise a good son.

“Fu Jin, how about we have another child?”

Actually, this is just a story about a low-key woman with no experience in romance, transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty, trying hard not to become cannon fodder.

Branded a seductive enchantress, Jiang Shuyi became the shame of the court. Yet, amid the whispers and condemnation, only one man stood by her—the emperor. He locked her away, not in punishment, but out of possessive devotion. Every night, he came to her side, unable to let go.

Beneath the gauzy curtains, his hand traced the contours of her tear-stained face, his voice low and tender—a prison made of longing, a love that refused to die, and a second chance to rewrite fate. <<less

[ Rebirth + Pure Sweetness]

In his past life, Jiang Chuang married a blind prince. The two shared a period of deep affection.

But after being betrayed by Wen Jue, Jiang Chuang was left devastated—their hearts grew distant.

To him, Wen Jue was nothing more than a deceiver wrapped in a gentle, harmless facade.

He played with Jiang Chuang’s emotions, had him wrapped around his finger, and nearly caused Jiang Chuang’s closest friend to fall into a place of no return.

And yet, in the end, it was Wen Jue who took an arrow for him.

Barely breathing, he lay dying in Jiang Chuang’s arms, apologizing, tearing off his mask, and pleading:

“Can you stop being mad at me… husband?”

Before Jiang Chuang could say “yes,” Wen Jue stopped breathing—his hollow eyes turned lifeless.

In the end, Jiang Chuang held him and jumped off a cliff.

Back in this life, Jiang Chuang has only one thought: Wen Jue.

And watching him quietly perform…

Watching how he exhausts every trick, pretending innocence, hiding his true self, and bending over backward to please Jiang Chuang.

Then, slowly—tearing through his facade.

Watching the darkness and twists, the carefully laid schemes, the venomous heart.

And letting him know—Jiang Chuang loves every version of him, as long as it’s him.

Chu Qingwan came from a prestigious family, dazzlingly beautiful and radiant beyond compare. She grew up alongside a childhood sweetheart, and both families had long agreed to form a marriage alliance.... more>>

But before the Xie family could propose, news arrived from the palace—

The Empress Dowager intended to select consorts for His Majesty, and all eligible unmarried noble daughters were to enter the selection process.

Suddenly, Chu Qingwan faced two paths:

— Proceed with the engagement to the Xie family

— Or enter the palace for the selection

That very day, her father summoned her to the study. She remained inside all day.

On the day she entered the palace by imperial decree, she vaguely saw a familiar figure standing at a distance.

Chu Qingwan calmly looked away.

She thought to herself—perhaps she truly was a woman enamored with status and power.

That day in the study, her father had said only one thing:

“The position of Empress is vacant.”

And that alone was enough for her to make her choice.

When Xu Yanheng first met Chu Qingwan, he knew she was clever.

But he had always dismissed it—after all, she was just another palace consort, not worth his attention.

Until he found out about the engagement that almost was.

Suddenly, he began to wonder—

When Chu Qingwan entered the palace by imperial decree, how much of it was truly her own will, and how much was because one cannot defy a royal order?

Love may not be irrelevant, but for someone as calculating as her, she would only offer her affections if there were guaranteed returns.

Note: Palace intrigue genre. The male lead is not a virg*n.

In the fourth year of the Chengzou Emperor's reign, a nationwide selection of women was held to enter the palace. Jiang Xueyi, the second daughter of the Minister of Justice, a third-rank official, was chosen to enter the palace.... more>>

Everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the Minister of Justice was a just and fair man, with a reputation for being strict and impartial, earning him the nickname "Iron-Faced Yanluo" (a reference to the god of the underworld). However, few people knew that his daughter, Jiang Xueyi, was a beautiful and gentle soul, with a lovely face and a kind heart.

In the harem, where women competed for the emperor's favor and plotted against each other, Jiang Xueyi stood out as a breath of fresh air, with a warm and gentle demeanor that won her many admirers. Among the 11 new women selected to enter the palace, she was the most favored by the emperor and was nicknamed "The Flower of Eloquence".

Later… the eldest miss of the Bai family was this generation’s goddess of war, legend had it that she had never been defeated.

The second miss of the Bai family was the resourceful matriarch at the newly appointed marquis of Zhongyong’s mansion.

The third miss of the Bai family is this world’s second richest merchant, a talent of the business world who can decide the rains and clouds.

Bai Qing Yan was grateful to Xiao Rong Yan for having helped her several times in the previous life, and then secretly sent him informations several times.

On a snowy night, they were blocked outside the city.

Xiao Rong Yan: Miss Bai saved Xiao Mou from fire and water again and again, is it that you admire Xiao Mou?

Bai Qing Yan said: Young Master Xiao misunderstood.

Xiao Rong Yan : Xiao Mou saved Miss Bai from fire and water again and again, can Miss Bai admire Xiao Mou?

Bai Qing Yan: … <<less

If You Yusui had died completely, he would have been just an ordinary crown prince in the history books who failed to seize the throne, lying in a small grave with the terrible posthumous title given by his father, left to be gossiped about by future generations.... more>>

But he was reborn! And kept being reborn repeatedly.

In his first life, he failed in the power struggle and was sentenced to death by his own father, with the posthumous title “Crown Prince Li”.

(TL: “Li 厉” meaning difficult to endure, terrible, or aggravating)

In his second life, he was diligent and cautious, but eventually died from serious illness.

In his third life, he bided his time and gathered talented people, but was ultimately executed by his third imperial brother’s army, without even leaving a complete corpse.

….

In his fifteenth life, he was extremely careful and only sought to survive, but was sent to pacify refugees and ended up hacked to death.

In his sixteenth life, the deposed crown prince opened his eyes and thought: “I’m tired. Whoever makes me unhappy, I’ll make them even more unhappy. To hell with respecting the worthy and being gentle and kind.”

So upon opening his eyes, You Yusui’s first action was to arrange for the most expensive nanmu wood coffin for himself, and then proceeded to act recklessly.

He insulted the emperor’s favorite concubine, punished his younger brother, beat officials, and repeatedly pushed his father’s boundaries.

Looking at the crying court and harem, You Yusui sat on his palanquin with a long-stemmed pipe and chuckled. “A person should do things befitting their posthumous title.”

You Yusui thought that with his defiant and troublesome behavior, his father would immediately depose him and offer him a cup of poison. Instead, he became his father’s most beloved son.

You Yusui: “My father probably has some issues.”

And those officials who hadn’t yet adjusted to the crown prince’s change from gentle and kind to troublesome: “The crown prince has probably gone mad.” <<less
