[Matriarchal Society + Strong Female Lead + Multiple Male Leads + Female Lead Not Chaste, Male Leads Chaste]
Su Woxue, son of the Vice Minister of Revenue, has a problem.
He was born a pampered young master, yet somehow got entangled with a lowborn, uncouth woman. In public, he is a dignified gentleman; in private, he is her personal attendant. Now that he’s fallen for her, how can he take part in the imperial consort selection?
He steels himself to break things off, only to discover that she’s a carefree prince???
Fine, then! He’ll make a clean break with her, turn the emperor’s head green with jealousy, and ensure half of Wen is surnamed Su!
Emperor Wen Bojiang of Wen has a problem.
While roaming the martial world, she took a young man into her service.
The audacious lad is vain, yet undeniably handsome. The palace’s male consorts demand she submit work KPIs, and while keeping him is unnecessary, casting him aside would be a waste.
She treats him like a pet and deceives him, but he wants to bear the emperor’s heir and become her honored consort, in charge of the harem.
Uh... the empress is still very much in office...
The great lady scratches her head. Her new flame and old love are fighting in the blink of an eye. Which side should she take?
Who could have guessed the young man would block her carriage, kneeling on the ground and gazing at her with tearful eyes?
“Jiang-niang, you don’t want me anymore, do you?”
A sweet, adorable beauty early on, a master of seduction later
A peerless beauty weighing the world’s most dazzling third wheels
A seemingly aloof but secretly lovesick empress
A sweet-and-sour black sesame glutinous rice ball of a first love
Twins who are perfect green-tea substitutes
A gentle Lord Qiao, the best in the land at both dance and martial arts
...That’s all I can think of for now. More to come.
[Warning: The female lead may be somewhat chauvinistic and love to have fun. Whatever she’s like, she only competes with men for love. The men are very, very lovesick, and extremely, extremely manipulative. This story may also be written without much logic, so enter at your own risk.]
