    Palace intrigue and domestic power struggle novel!!! 💓💓💓First book!!! Li You transmigrated into a book, becoming the innocent and pitiful female lead in an ancient romance novel, constantly tormented by the male lead. However, upon landing, Li You discovered that her cousin, the villainous female supporting character from the script, had been reborn. Good grief, was she about to be reduced to cannon fodder? Li You: "..." Okay, let me lie down for a bit. On her wedding day, her cousin didn't swap brides with her as in the script, stealing her marriage to the Crown Prince. Instead, she happily ran off to marry the male lead, the Third Prince. At that time, the male lead was just a powerless, slave-born prince, despised by the emperor. Li You vividly remembered that in the script, after being swapped with the Third Prince, the original Li You was forced to eat meager rations, do all sorts of hard labor, and be trampled on by everyone. 💗💗💗Second book!!! As an unfavored concubine's daughter, Sheng Rui single-handedly married the youngest prime minister of the dynasty. After marriage, she felt quite comfortable, with money and power. Although her husband was somewhat unrestrained in certain aspects, she eventually got used to it. Just when she thought she could live a peaceful life as a wealthy, carefree person, a system suddenly appeared, telling her that this was actually a book. Her husband was the male lead in the book, and the white lotus she hated the most was the female lead. And she was neither the male lead nor the female lead, but the jealous, brainless, extravagant, and short-lived legal wife in the eyes of outsiders. Sheng Rui: ??? 💓💓💓 The third book!!! The unfavored legitimate daughter of the Mu family was betrothed by imperial decree to the dying Crown Prince Zhou Jing for a "lucky marriage." Many people were laughing at her, hoping she wouldn't die in bed. When Zhou Jing opened his eyes, he had a fiancée. The little girl was clearly afraid of him, yet she couldn't help but pledge her loyalty: "Your Highness, I will treat you very well." "Your Highness, after you're gone, I will burn plenty of paper money and several paper figures of beautiful maids for you." "Your Highness, I will uphold the virtues of a wife and cherish the memory of my deceased husband every day!" The twisted, feigning illness-ridden madman Zhou Jing thought: ... It's been a long time since I've seen someone so eager to die. On the wedding day, the sound of gongs and drums filled the air. Hundreds of assassins surged into the procession. The Crown Prince, who had been pretending to cough up blood half an incense stick earlier, possessed a sharp sword aura. 💗💗💗 Fourth book!! A seemingly gentle but actually clear-headed and rational beauty vs. A seemingly innocent but actually cunning and arrogant prince. Yu Fu is the lowest-ranking maid in the Zhou family, yet she possesses a face that could cause disaster. To protect herself, she conceals her figure and appearance, waiting to save enough money to redeem herself and escape the Zhou family, a den of wolves. However, she never expected that once exposed, she would be surrounded by wolves. The eldest young master coveted her body, and the second young lady wanted to send her to a luxurious and decadent mansion. She knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, but how could those high and mighty people care about the life of a slave girl? Rather than having her fate controlled by others, she would rather climb up the social ladder. In her despair, she set her sights on the handsome and refined cousin of the Zhou family, who was admired by the second young lady.

    👀The blood from her shoulder had stained her bodice, spreading out like the peony embroidered on it. Lu Heng had treated common wounds during his military campaigns, so this arrow wound was nothing to him. However, Shen Yu was clutching his sleeve tightly; the slightest touch caused her to sob softly. Tang Li watched anxiously, her fingers almost bleeding from clenching the wound even with her eyes closed while she was disinfecting it. "It'll be alright in a moment," Lu Heng said gently, sprinkling medicine on her wound. Shen Yu cried out in pain, her mind perfectly clear. Recognizing Lu Heng beside her, she opened her eyes, her gaze misty and wet as she looked at him. "Ninth Master…" Lu Heng applied medicine to her wound, his gaze slightly cold: "Don't cry, I'll be gentle."

Her nose and shoulders were still slightly trembling, tears welling in her eyes. Tang Li sighed, also feeling sorry for her: "Madam, just bear with it, it will pass.
