   New novel! A god-tier yandere novel! Forced love! Multiple male leads vying for power in a chaotic battleground, a wife-chasing hell, 1v2! Full of detailed descriptions, incredibly thrilling! Two male ghosts with different attributes, they're just too delicious! Originally titled "The Beauty of the Southern Dynasties," yes, it's set in the most absurd and vibrant period of history, the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. The obsessive, patient, and devoted second male lead [Yan Huaizhou] vs. The new female lead (original cannon fodder female supporting character), the noblewoman of a marquis's family who defies fate [Yun Jiaojiao] vs. Xiao Heci, a descendant of the Southern Liang royal family, a refined, gentle, sickly, and obsessive nobleman. The mad emperor Yan Huaizhou of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, who should have been a devoted second male lead to the original female lead Shen Wan, defied fate, absurdly imprisoning and forcibly taking Yun Jiaojiao from two lifetimes. Yun Jiaojiao was imprisoned by Yan Huaizhou in Ganlu Temple for several months, forced to spend the rest of her life with only the lamp and the Buddha. But she was unwilling to accept it… Why?! So she burned down temples, smashed Buddha statues, destroyed the scripture library, interrupted a debate among high monks, and sold relics… The new female lead is absolutely insane and exciting! She was replaced as Empress by Shen Wan and forced to play the role of the deposed Crown Prince's wife, Shen Wan, mourning and widowing for the deposed Crown Prince. Screw you! Mourning my ass! She decisively escaped! She faked her death and fled. Everyone was hiding her death, paving the way for her fabricated story, especially the original female lead, Shen Wan, who created a near-perfect facade, even finding a substitute to replace Yun Jiaojiao, who was trapped in the Eastern Palace to guard the coffin. Only Yan Huaizhou was kept in the dark, the truth hidden from everyone. Help! The moment the insane emperor learned the truth and the truth was revealed was so exciting and thrilling! So crazy, so sizzling, so incredibly powerful! Xiao Heci, a scion of a noble family, appears on the surface to be a dissolute playboy, a free spirit, a gentle and refined immortal, with unparalleled beauty and a radiant, ethereal charm. But beneath this facade lies an absolutely cruel, extreme, and sinisterly lucid madman, who especially enjoys stealing women right in front of the sickly and delicate Emperor Yan Huaizhou! This cutthroat competition between heroes was absolutely thrilling! Ahhhhhh~

"Everyone says it's a marriage of convenience, but only I know it's the culmination of twelve years of unrequited love." Her name is Xiao Ruohua, a law master's graduate from a top-tier university, and a judge's assistant at the Intermediate People's Court. For eight years in the Chu family, she hid her talents, remaining meek and submissive, playing the role of an "unpresentable" stepdaughter. His name is Su Youli, the eldest son of the Su family, a rising star in the business world. In everyone's eyes, he is Chu Yanqing's fiancé—a marriage of convenience between equals. No one knows that he has liked her since the summer of his second year of high school. No one knows that he has been sending her that bouquet of green ping-pong chrysanthemums for twelve whole years. No one knows that he has laid out a long and complex plan, just so that she can walk into his side innocently. He is not a domineering CEO; he is a coward who waited twelve years before daring to approach her. She is not Cinderella; she is a clear-headed, independent, and resilient rose who never depends on others. This was not a compromise in a marriage of convenience between wealthy families; it was a man's long period of forbearance and meticulous planning that earned him the right to openly love her.

    [Already recommended] The first book has a vast world-building. The female protagonist, Lin Shiliu, was born into interstellar space with memories of her past life. The plot is relatively simple, with many strange and wonderful potions. She encounters all sorts of people, and some scenes are quite infuriating, but it also portrays Lin Shiliu and others very realistically and warmly. [Already recommended] Ya Ya's Cross-World Journey tells the story of a child named Ya Ya's daily life traveling between modern and ancient times. She earns money in the modern world and gradually changes the living environment of her village. There are no villains, and the content is also a slice-of-life story.
