A different kind of love:
[I Use a Counterattack System to Conquer a Yandere Prince]
The elegant and gentle eldest daughter of the Jiang family, her skirt stained with blood, smiles as she snaps her own neck.
Her death catches the attention of the Seventh Prince, who has been watching from the shadows.
Beneath his frail exterior, a mad fire blazes:
"Watching Miss Jiang kill someone is better than watching her play the zither."
A cold System suddenly appears:
Conquer him, or be erased!
She pretends to humor him; he presses closer at every turn.
Until, in a pool of blood in the dungeon, their fingers interlace.
Their love is tempered into a blade, striking at the cracks in the rules.
When the cage breaks apart,
two master actors finally face each other in a contest of true hearts,
picking up the spark of solving the puzzle together amid the ruins.
[Growing Vegetables in the Cold Palace, the Chief Eunuch Says He Loves Me]
The sinister chief eunuch Pei Yan, who holds power over the court, is bound by a System.
To stay alive, he must conquer Chi Ling, a disgraced consort growing vegetables in the Cold Palace.
When they first meet, she flings mud in his face.
He is forced to catch bugs and deliver vegetables,
but finds himself falling for her in an embrace beneath the moon.
When the truth comes to light,
he purges the court with blood to clear her name.
Finally, before the assembled ministers,
the regent in his black python robe takes the mud-smeared cucumber from her and bites into it with a crisp crunch.
The vegetables grown in the Cold Palace yield not only the finest radishes under heaven,
but also the most unconventional love.
[The Noble Consort Breaks Character Every Day]
The notorious Noble Consort An is arrogant and domineering.
Emperor Zhou Xuanyin can't stand her,
until he hears her inner thoughts.
She slaps his new favorite to find a poisoned hairpin planted by an assassin.
She berates the tribute gifts because she has spotted a spy from the Northern Di.
When she is close to death protecting his empire,
he cuts his wrist and feeds her his blood:
"Take my blood. Don't fall asleep."
She mumbles groggily, "Mix in a little honey..."
Beneath layers of vicious disguises
lies a heart of exceptional kindness and a soul of pure loyalty.
A love that began with a misunderstanding
is tempered into something real amid bloodshed and intrigue.
