【Father, the official from the Imperial Astronomy Bureau is an old charlatan who, together with Concubine Li, deceived you and will stab you in the heart on the day of the nation’s fall.】

The Tyrant Emperor immediately turned against the old official for his daughter, and Ah Bao was taken out of the Cold Palace.

【Sixth Prince, the chosen one, was manipulated by the transmigrated woman, going mad and smashing into walls for her, only to be used by her, dying alone and childless in misery.】

Sixth Prince: ?

He pushed away the female lead and turned into the ruler of the world!

【Seventh Prince, plagued by bad luck, died saving the female lead from a knife, missing out on his lucky little princess. Charge! Marry the official match and drive away your misfortune.】

Seventh Prince: ?

He stabbed the female lead, and at the selection banquet, he chose the lucky little princess and showered her with love and affection.

【Aunt, your beloved son-in-law has been keeping a mistress behind your back and brought a bastard child to the princess’s residence for you to raise. In the end, the adopted son and the mistress conspired to drive you to death and seize your family assets.】

Princess Chang: ?

She decisively divorced her husband and sent the s*umbag to prison for a death sentence!

【And there’s the big uncle, the King of God War, surnamed Shen, who will use your drunken state to set up a bed scene, feigning tears and selling pity to make you responsible. In the end, she poisons you, leaving you crippled.】

Everyone is astonished; the small princess’s presence turns into a large-scale gossip event.

The once-fallen Tiansheng Dynasty has grown prosperous, becoming the number one nation among the seven countries!

Ah Bao has become the beloved treasure of everyone.

The defeated male and female leads: …

"...I… have a boyfriend who promised to marry me in the world I used to live in."... more>>

“…”

"So... in this country’s terms, I have a betrothed... I just can’t bring myself to leave him behind..."

The man, whose name or age I didn’t even know — only that he was a king — looked at me with a gaze that made it hard to read his thoughts.

I could’ve easily pulled my hand away, but instead met his eyes with an earnest gaze.

His voice, though quiet, rang out clearly, letting me realise just how close he was.

“Has your body already been embraced by him?”

I wanted to understand the intention behind the king’s question.

If I said yes, would he stop, believing he couldn’t hold someone who had been touched by another? Or would he try to hold me even more, knowing I’d been embraced before?

I hesitated briefly, but shook my head, fearing he’d accuse me of lying again with that cold, metallic tone.

“…No.”

“You’ve kept yourself until marriage?”

“…Yes.”

“You’re foolishly devoted to the point of pure innocence.”

“…”

“Unfortunately, I lack that kind of virtue.” <<less

Before her death, Qun Qing hated the powerful official Lu Hua Ting the most. She hated him for assisting the new emperor and for being cunning and insidious. She thought about him day and night, and tried her best to defeat him, but she was not his match. In the end, she became a cannon fodder in his hands.... more>>

After Qun Qing died, she saw the princess of the fallen country that she had protected with her life, crying and leaning on the new emperor's chest: "Qing Qing is dead, what should I do?"

The new emperor kissed her: "You will be fine, just love me."

The princess burst into tears, like a delicate flower under the rain: "Qing Qing is dead, Your Majesty is all I have left."

When she opened his eyes, Qun Qing had woke up three years ago. She stood up, woodenly packed her bags, and regardless of the princess's obstruction, took off her jade crown and walked away, dropped her female official's wooden seal, turned around and left, leaving behind ten years of careful planning and treading on thin ice.

Restore the country? Restore shit.

*

The powerful official Lu Hua Ting, with deep scheming and brutal means, was invincible among the struggles of power. He was tired of seeing the ugliness of human hearts and lived a boring life.

Looking back on his life, the only thing that left a little impression on him was the mu*der of a spy female official by poisoning when he was 26 years old.

For the love of the princess, she sacrificed his life for the country and schemed against him several times. In the end, she knelt in front of the Summer Palace, her facial expression remaining unchanged, with a look of resentment in her eyes, and sighed with a smile, "The winner becomes king, and the loser turns out a thief", and raised her head to drink it all. Blood gushed out of her mouth, in a thin layer of bright red.

Opening his eyes, Lu Hua Ting returned to the age of 23.

Lu Hua Ting looked at the documents under his command, and felt even more bored. He put down his brush and leaned on the back of the chair: "Where is the female official accompanying Crown Princess?"

"... She resigned. She asked me to tell My lord that she would not fight anymore."

Lu Hua Ting was silent for a while, and curled his lips coldly: "She said she won't fight, so the fight is over?" <<less

Yun Si is just a low-ranking palace maid.... more>>

She's not a good person, but she's a beauty.

She knows her lowly status, even if she leaves the palace, marrying into a noble family as a concubine would be considered a great honor.

She's accustomed to the luxurious life in the palace and can't go back to her old life.

So, she set her sights on the Emperor.

Everyone says Yun Si is cunning and has gained the Emperor's favor.

But no one knows, after being favored by the Emperor, Yun Si remained a nameless and title-less palace maid for two whole years.

Tan Yuanchu initially noticed Yun Si because of her clumsy and seemingly clever flattery.

He kept Yun Si by his side for two whole years before finally granting her the title she wanted.

He watched coldly as Yun Si became arrogant and domineering after gaining power.

Until the end, Tan Yuanchu realized that he wasn't just infatuated with her beauty, but with everything about her, including her hidden thoughts that she thought she had concealed well.

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.

Jiang Shuyi lived for fifteen years basking in imperial favor. As the emperor’s most beloved consort, she enjoyed a life of luxury and affection, envied by all and unmatched within the harem. The emperor treated her like a precious jewel, gentle and indulgent.... more>>

However, beneath this golden dream lay a fatal blindness. She failed to see through her seemingly demure younger sister, never suspecting the wolf beneath the surface. In the end, it was her own kin who exposed her alleged crimes. Her carefully constructed world crumbled, and even her cherished son turned cold, sneering, “If only I had been born of Aunt instead.”

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

Wan Anran traveled through time and became a small concubine in Kangxi’s harem.... more>>

The original owner of the body was seriously ill and dying and was ignored. She survived but lost her favor. She tried to fight for a position in the palace but was crushed. Later, she would have to be a concubine in the harem for more than 40 years. There is only one word to describe it: miserable!

And Wan Anran’s mission is to eliminate the original owner’s resentment by becoming the first person in the harem.

Wan Anran: ………You are making things difficult for me.

Of course, there was also good news. The original owner was the longest-living palace concubine in the Qing Dynasty, living to the age of ninety-seven.

Wan Anran, who has no ability to fight in the palace, quickly made a decision. Screw your mission! She plans to retire early and be a concubine in the Qing Palace who eats and drinks happily and lives a long life.

For example, how about a barbecue first?

Once she started, she couldn’t stop. Barbecue, hot pot, and fried chicken legs, french fries, hash browns, and mashed potatoes, skewers, cold noodles, and spicy chicken, cream cheese and cheese, biscuits, mochi and cakes…

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

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.

In the previous life, the First Rank Duke’s mansion collapsed and completely vanished. In this lifetime, Bai Qing Yan, the eldest legitimate daughter was reborn and she will never let the Bai family follow the same footsteps than in the previous life.... more>>

The son of the Bai family is already dead, so there is no place for the Bai family to stand in the capital ?

Xiao Rong Yan, a wealthy businessman from the Great Wei State, said: “For hundreds of years, the First Rank Duke’s Bai family of military lineage, never produced any waste, and the family’s daughters are no exception.

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.

Gu Xi was switched three times in her life.... more>>

The first time was when she was born. Gu Xi was switched with the daughter of a merchant family and stayed in Suzhou for fifteen years.

The second time was when she was taken back to the capital. Her father didn't care, her grandmother didn't love her, and everyone in the capital disliked her. One day, the Empress Dowager wanted to hold a banquet to select wives for the royal family members. Because her sister had a lover, she secretly switched herself with Gu Xi to enter the palace.

The Empress Dowager: "Xixi, you really look like ai jia's daughter who died early. You are as bright as a flower and can even be called the most beautiful woman in our capital." From then on, Gu Xi had another backer.

The third time she was switched was at a palace banquet. She was inexplicably drugged and then taken away by a man by mistake.

Afterwards, Gu Xi ran away quickly with her clothes under her arm. This time she didn't want to know who the man was. She would never admit it, and she didn't want any big backers anymore!

The Emperor smoked a cigarette afterwards: Who slept with zhen and ran away? Find out for zhen!

The Emperor, who had been single for more than 20 years, was forced by the Empress Dowager and the civil and military officials of the court to see noble ladies at the banquet. In the end, he accidentally brought back a beautiful woman. <<less

The Imperial Noble Consort Is Too Wild and Too Flirty! Your Majesty, How About Picking Another Favorite?... more>>

Being reincarnated as a beggar would be better than being reborn into the imperial harem—Shen Qing was utterly hopeless about her new identity.

The female lead wouldn’t appear for another two years, and in the meantime, she was the lowest-ranking consort in the male lead’s harem. Her father back home was useless, she had no money and no power, and besides waiting for the emperor’s favor, there seemed to be no way out.

To make matters worse, she had a face that drew attention.

If she fought for favor, she had no leverage. If she didn’t fight, she was doomed to be bullied.

Maybe she should just lie low like a salted fish for two years and wait for the female lead to enter the palace and lend her a helping hand? <<less

Everyone knew that the current emperor was cruel and mu*derous. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, but no one dared to even approach him.... more>>

Concubines in the harem: Fighting for favor? No way! Our lives are way more important!

The Emperor had been on the throne for five years and still had no offspring. The court officials were all worried. At this time, the foolish granddaughter of Master Shen, Ah Cuo, took the initiative to throw herself into the Emperor's arms.

The whole court and harem: Shocked!!!

Later, Ah Cuo of the Shen family was promoted again and again. She also got pregnant and finally sat on the throne of the Empress, reaching the peak of her life.

Everyone praised the Empress for her good fortune, but no one knew that the Emperor studied "The Beginner's Guide to Love", "The Essential Rules for Good Men", "The Possibility of Men Getting Pregnant" in the dead of night...

When the Empress was pregnant again, the Emperor stared at the book page in his hand and frowned, "Ah Cuo is so afraid of pain. I'm afraid she will cry again this time. I really wish I could give birth in her place."

Ah Cuo: Actually, I'm really not a human...

After a car accident, Yu Ying became a newly admitted concubine in Emperor Kangxi’s palace. Fortunately, her immediate superior was easy to get along with, so perhaps she could just scr*pe by.... more>>

Just when Yu Ying was planning to lie flat and muddle through like this, she suddenly caught Kangxi’s eye.

Yu Ying, on the verge of death, jolted upright in shock—since things had come to this, did that mean she could dare to fantasize about becoming a favored imperial consort?

But…wasn’t this all happening a little too easily?

Ever since Kangxi had favored this little concubine, he’d somehow gained a cheat ability: he could hear her thoughts—and in doing so, discovered just how different she was.

What? The little concubine wanted to go home?

Impossible. Since she had come to his Great Qing, she ought to stay properly by his side.

What? She wanted to be a pampered consort? Then he’d simply favor her a little more.

And so, as he indulged her more and more, Kangxi gradually realized that at some point, this little concubine had already been spoiled to the point of utter lawlessness.

But he had no intention of reproaching her—in fact, there was every sign it was only going to get worse…

“Everything you wish for—I will personally lay at your feet.” <<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

Tang Chaoyang was bold, flamboyant, and unrestrained—fond of handsome men.

Fei Yan, a poor scholar from humble origins, entered the capital to take the imperial exams. The moment Chaoyang laid eyes on him, she fell deeply in love.

She forcefully ordered her men to seize him off the street and drag him to the hall for a wedding ceremony. From that night on, their passion burned endlessly.

A year later, Chaoyang gave birth to a son.

The old emperor passed away, and a new emperor took the throne.

Fei Yan transformed overnight—becoming the new emperor’s trusted Prime Minister.

He prepared a grand ten-mile wedding procession and married the daughter of the imperial tutor as his principal wife.

As for Tang Chaoyang, she was deemed disrespectful at court and, by imperial decree from the Empress Dowager, was exiled to the remote and bitterly cold Han City.

Her husband, Fei Yan, looked down on her with cold indifference and said:

“Chaoyang, if you’re willing to become a noble concubine, I can plead with His Majesty to let you stay in my estate. The hardships of Han City… you won’t survive them.”

But Tang Chaoyang refused to bow to fate. She took her son—who had run away from home to find her—and went to Han City. From that moment on, she never looked back.

Now reborn to the age when she had just entered the palace, Yun Ying looked back on her past life and felt it wasn’t worth it. She finally came to terms with everything. From then on, she busied herself strolling with birds, teasing cats, admiring flowers, and sipping tea—planning to live out this life peacefully and leisurely.

Who would have thought—

“Your Ladyship, His Majesty has bestowed two more bolts of cloud brocade.”

“Your Ladyship, His Majesty has sent over your favorite Jingting Green Snow tea.”

“Your Ladyship, His Majesty has summoned you again tonight.”

By the time she had ascended to a position even higher than in her past life, adored above all others in the palace, Yun Ying still couldn’t quite understand:

How did she end up becoming the most favored consort in the entire harem all over again?

Zhao Chong, without rhyme or reason, gained an unusual ability—to hear the inner thoughts of those around him.

He used this opportunity to gradually reform the court, but also kept a respectful distance from the two-faced concubines of the harem.

Until he discovered the unique Yun Ying.

At first, Zhao Chong found that among the six palaces, only Yun Ying made him feel truly comfortable and at ease. Naturally, he favored her more and more.

Later, Zhao Chong showered Yun Ying with affection, flipping her nameplate repeatedly, thinking she must surely be delighted—until he accidentally overheard her inner complaint:

[It’s so cold, and I have to get up early again to serve the Emperor?]

Zhao Chong: “…”

The next day, before dawn, not wanting to be disliked anymore, Zhao Chong carefully and quietly got out of bed, afraid to wake the beauty lying beside him.

Qu Dubian, a former celebrity who rose to fame through calculated "green tea" acting and fan voting in his past life, transmigrates into the body of a young prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty whose mother died early.... more>>

Not only does he have just 3 days left to live, but he's also bound to a [Disease Simulator] to extend his life.

There are three ways to increase lifespan:

1. Daily martial arts practice check-in, adding one day of life.

2. Experience diseases, write papers for the system, help the system archive and upgrade, adding three months of life.

3. Make friends, increase their favorability to 60, adding one year of life.

Qu Dubian understands one thing deeply: to gain favorability, helping in times of need is better than adding flowers to a brocade.

The [Disease Simulator] is also a divine tool for avoiding the terrifying waves of succession struggles!

To exit the imperial power struggle, Qu Dubian stages a battlefield "accident," rescues his exiled elder sister (a royal princess) who was married, and fakes total disability—blindness and crippled martial prowess.

From now on, he can comfortably rest on these military achievements that can protect him for a lifetime, living peacefully.

This move is super profitable!

However—

The Eastern Depot's Chief gives a sinister look: "This one's life was saved by the young prince. Investigate for me, who exactly made a move on the battlefield!"

The newly crowned top scholar looks sickly: "I've schemed all my life, only for a wise ruler. If the wise ruler is in darkness, I'm unwilling to take office."

The young marquis, now the Northern Garrison General: "Imperial power has crushed to this extent, why does Your Highness still harbor kind thoughts?"

The adoptive mother who never cared about worldly affairs: "My son has suffered such a calamity, if this palace still turns a blind eye, how can I be called a mother?!"

The imperial concubines gather in Cining Palace, their resentful red-rimmed eyes leaving the emperor speechless.

In an instant, the princes are all on edge, schemes are churning in the capital, and people's hearts are in turmoil.

In her previous life, Hua Shu was a humble palace maid who climbed to the pinnacle of power, only to be criticized and scolded by others, who called her a "disaster-causing seductress".

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange country called Chu, where she became an unpopular Empress, a scapegoat; how could she tolerate this?!

She would tidy up the messy harem, slap those who were impolite, and memorize the rules for competing for favor.

As for the so-called "white moonlight" and "green tea concubine", they would all step aside and not pretend in front of this old lady. She had mastered this set of skills to perfection, and no one could outdo her!

As for the emperor who was high above, what about him?

Hua Shu's means were endless, and her daily behavior was impeccable, making it seem like she was gradually trapping him.

Even the wolves that couldn't be tamed would one day submit.

The Emperor and Empress were harmonious, and the world was at peace. Inside and outside the palace, the matriarchs of various families began to flock to the queen, hoping to learn from her experience of having a loving relationship with the emperor.

Hua Shu said, "There's nothing to it, just use tactics to win people's hearts."

A certain emperor who was eavesdropping on their conversation was furious but didn't dare, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, "Didn't you say you loved me back then?!"

In short, a generation of seductress unintentionally became a generation of virtuous empress. <<less
