   Reader note

   These are all books by the same author, the kind you'll understand why I recommended after reading just one. They're all short stories, the kind you can read in one sitting. They're about family drama and are incredibly heart-wrenching, showcasing the author's excellent writing skills. The protagonists are all very kind, yet they carry something akin to original sin. This contradiction makes you want to feel sorry for them, but at other times you also feel sorry for them—it's this conflict that will leave you feeling incredibly emotionally tormented. Some have happy endings, and some aren't so great, but the overall flow isn't forced or artificial; rather, the heartbreak develops naturally. Highly recommended!

    In her previous life, no one met a good end. Lingyi was divorced, died of illness in the north room, her body wrapped in a straw mat; her younger brother, Lingheng, forced her to relinquish the property rights; her younger sister, Lingxian, took the rattan trunk in front of her, saying, "Anyway, you're going to die soon, these can still be sold for money"; the money changer, Cheng Yanchi, was beaten to death at the dock with three iron pipes, the crime being "my sister spoke up for you"; Lingtao sat until he died, clutching an empty cricket jar; Lingxian scratched her scalp with a silver hairpin; Lingheng killed Boss Chen and went to jail. The house was empty. Boss Chen's boots crushed the divorce papers: "I've seen enough of your face. You're not even half as good as your sister." In her previous life, she had also asked, "When the first two died, I wasn't married into the family. Did you die because of your own bad luck, or was it because of my bad luck?" In this life, Cheng Yanchi woke up seven days earlier. He ran into the back alley of Tangyin Lane, the pomegranate leaves still green, and said only one sentence: "Don't marry into the Chen family." Seven days later, at the mourning hall. Lingheng pushed the document relinquishing his inheritance rights towards him. She gripped the red-lacquered pen, the shaft digging into her thumb. Then she raised her hand and flung it in another direction. The pen slammed against the offering table, rolling onto the blue bricks with a crisp sound. "I won't sign." She slapped Ling Heng three times with her backhand. One slap for herself, one for her father, and one for the Hu family ancestors. Ling Tao stood in front of her, and Cheng Yanchi stood half a step to her side. In the previous life, everyone suffered a tragic end. In this life, from the moment she threw the pen, everyone's fate began to change.

    A million-word short story, a subversive masterpiece of palace intrigue and power struggles, featuring fresh content, a steady writing style, and detailed descriptions of palace secrets. The plot is unconventional and logically sound, with humorous everyday moments and intense power struggles. The female protagonist enters the palace only to be ridiculed, and must rely entirely on herself. There are no cheat codes, no time travel, and no reincarnation. She navigates the treacherous and dark harem, and the content may be disturbing. Readers may find it heart-wrenching.
