   A palace intrigue novel, for those with brains, new book 📚! Song Xuwan has a husband everyone envies, chaste and without a concubine, but this beautiful facade is brutally torn away after a drunken night... Zhou Minghai isn't chaste at all; he just has a white moonlight in his heart and wants to remain celibate. Now he's hiding his white moonlight at a hot spring villa, going there every few days for secret rendezvous. This is intolerable! Anyone who wants this thirty-something-year-old man can have him; she doesn't care to snatch him back. She's going to find a young, fresh-faced man. Her white moonlight's son is just right—a young genius, handsome and dashing. The most satisfying thing is that when her son is caught in bed with another woman, he'll surely drive the proud and aloof white moonlight mad. That's wonderful! But after the affair was exposed, this young man just wouldn't leave. For years, he haunted her, constantly climbing over the wall. Even after she became the Regent, he still came kneeling at her feet, begging for her mercy... Min Rongxue: Son, she deliberately seduced you, ruining your reputation and making you ashamed before Heaven, Earth, and your teacher, all to get revenge on me! Ji Moyang: I was the one who forced her. She never seduced me. What wrong could a weak young woman like her have done? Her only mistake was loving me too much. Min Rongxue: She was faking it, she was just lying to you! Ji Moyang: Mother, you don't understand love at all!

   "Don't hurt my mother!" Abu opened her eyes at the sound. Yan Heng, covered in blood, clung tightly to the legs of the man in black, screaming, "Mother, run!" A flash of cold light, and a sharp sword pierced the child's body. Yan Heng's eyes widened, blood and foam spilling from the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed on Abu even in death. The man in black flicked the blood from the sword tip and drew his sword closer. Abu's left hand moved slightly, and an ancient black scroll rose from within her—the "Book of Life and Death," the entity that controlled life and death. Under the immense pressure, the man in black instantly fainted and collapsed. "Yan Zhiwei, I will settle what you care about." Abu opened her palm, and a vermilion brush appeared in mid-air. The brush tip moved swiftly across the book, and as the last stroke fell, golden light burst forth from the man in black's head. She grasped the last wisp of lifespan and injected it into Yan Heng's body. A life for a life was merely a matter of lifting a finger in the Book of Life and Death.

    Help! I woke up to find myself transported to a heart-wrenching hodgepodge of "Empresses in the Palace" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" 🌪️ While others who transmigrate become the female lead or embark on a triumphant journey, "Black Rose" is destined to be the lifeline of the supporting female characters! This isn't palace intrigue; it's clearly a high-difficulty "murder mystery" rescue operation!
