Name: The Proper Way to Be a Concubine
Author: Zisang Fei

Synopsis

Pei Xun fell in love with Jiang Tingying at first sight when he was young. Drawn to her beautiful, kind nature, he married her and promised she would be his one and only for life.

But after seven years of marriage without children, Pei Xun's mother pressured him to take a concubine. He fought back furiously, but in the end, he nearly drove his mother to suicide and had to break his promise to Jiang Tingying and give in.

Later, the concubine had a child and was killed so the child could be kept. Pei Xun and Jiang Tingying lived happily ever after. He eventually became a marquis and powerful minister, and he did keep his promise to have only one wife for life.

But what does any of this have to do with Chi Yao?

Chi Yao (´·︶·`)

Damn it, she's the concubine who was killed so her child could be kept!

Chi Yao only awakened memories of her past life after getting intimate with Pei Xun. She had transmigrated into a book, ending up as a minor character in a household-intrigue novel who barely appeared before being killed off. Pei Xun was the male lead, and Jiang Tingying was the heroine.

The minor character's fate was to be killed so her child could be kept.

Chi Yao: Wow, thanks a lot!

Chi Yao doesn't want to die or become a concubine. To escape the cage that is the Duke's residence, she acts submissive and agreeable, making the male lead hate her enough to throw her out.

She even saves up some money, ready to make a run for it.

But damn it, who can explain why the male and female leads have fallen out, why the heroine has hooked up with the male lead's younger brother, and why the male lead is looking at her so strangely?

He even imprisons her and threatens, “You and the child, one of you stays. Otherwise, you die.”

Chi Yao: (๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣

Chi Yao rolls her eyes. What a nutcase!

Then she leaves the child behind and fakes her death to escape. Not long after, she hears that the male lead has gone mad.

Chi Yao: Perfect. Good for him. Let him go mad.

Looking for a Transmigrate-into-the-Past Romance Where the Female Lead Is the Male Lead's Concubine

The heroine transmigrates into the story, and I think her surname is Xie. The male lead is a prince, and he's lame. The heroine is the daughter of a marquis and is given to him as a concubine. It was summer when she transmigrated, and she liked cold wood ear mushroom salad. Before the heroine arrived, the prince's wife had apparently cried so much that she was almost blind.

How to put it, Jiang was actually right. It was all for the purpose of having children. She felt that men were not good enough, so she was vaccinated. Moreover, they were of the same race, but men could look for women, but women could not look for men. Just an inherent thought. The ending is regrettable.

It's okay, but many of the actions and ideas of the male protagonist and the original female protagonist are unbelievable and cannot be understood by normal people [awkward laughter] Furthermore, the male protagonist hated the original female protagonist from the beginning, which greatly reduced the excitement. It may be really difficult to attack the heart, but it will be really interesting if you write it well. Although there are less than 120 chapters, I don't recommend wasting this time reading it because it's too busy to write.

Oops, it's over now 😂 The female protagonist was actually killed by the vicious original female protagonist in the end... It's very interesting... In the end, the male protagonist also died for love... It's worth watching

Hey, I like to see this kind of smart heroine. She always pays attention to everything so that she won't be cheated. She also knows the current situation and knows that she can't offend the hero casually. She also knows how to use the hero's hand to protect herself. She is not stupid at all, nor is she a virgin. She will fight back hard against anyone who framed her and never let go of any bad guy. She is simply the perfect heroine in my mind! I feel so comfortable watching it~

Jujuju looks good, but can he go faster? Huzi is dying. I really want to expose Jiang's adultery as soon as possible.

What attracts me to the heroine is that she has a high IQ and is able to think, doesn't fall for tricks, and doesn't blindly trust people. I will take away all the hero's money. Anyway, unlike other heroines, she doesn't take anything with her. She is very special and doesn't wrong herself.

The short article set up the heroine's character very well, and I liked the male protagonist's deranged and crazy character!!! It's good to read it when you have time to break up the boring time! It's just that the ending is too hasty 🍉
