The Fertile Palace Maid and the Damp, Mad Emperor: Spoiled to Death

Clear-headed palace maid and beauty? A deranged, scheming emperor

[One true pairing / sweet romance / palace intrigue]

Shen Yan is a modern woman who transmigrated into another world. Her occupation: palace maid. Her goal: earn enough silver to leave the palace early and support her top-scholar husband.

Shen Yan entered the palace as a maid at eight. For ten years, she kept her head down and tread carefully. At last, she got the chance to leave early: she helped the Empress Dowager clear the middle-aged acne from her face and was granted permission to leave the palace.

Just as she was celebrating her newfound freedom, an imperial edict appointed her Head Attendant of the emperor’s chambers.

The woman Emperor Li Zhaoye had searched for over three years turned out to be Shen Yan, the water-boiling maid at Taihe Palace.

Li Zhaoye hated being deceived and despised women who were scheming, two-faced, treacherous, and heartless.

Shen Yan embodied every one of those traits. At first, Li Zhaoye looked at her with disdain. A woman like her was better off unwanted.

But later...

He carried her into a secret chamber and took her night after night...

And later still, he realized that the scheming little palace maid was irresistible!

The palace banquet for the Emperor’s birthday!

Shen Yan deliberately fell into the water during the banquet, hoping to get Xie Ziyue to jump in and save her so she could escape the palace. She never expected the person who jumped in to save her would be the emperor.

The imperial physician examined her and found she was pregnant!

Shen Yan was dumbfounded. She had no idea there was a baby in her belly. Who was the father?

The emperor’s consorts gloated. She had slept with her lover and conceived a bastard, so she deserved to be beaten to death.

The emperor roared, “Who dares?”

“I am the adulterer, and the child she carries is my crown prince!”

The whole court erupted!

From then on, the palace had an empress who had once been a maid, and she was the most favored woman in the harem!
