The Duke's Beloved

Just because Lan Yanzhou looked at Meng Jinyue a few times, that very night she was delivered to his bed.

Meng Jinyue: "I will never love you!"

Lan Yanzhou: "You don't love me? In this life, you'll only ever bear my children. Don't even dream of leaving me!"

[Mad, narcissistic powerbroker]× [Color-blind, brave and clever sweetheart]

Female lead's perspective:

I should never have been so kind as to hand that bastard a handkerchief!

You don't like sweet things? I'll make them for you every day! You don't like fragrant scents? I'll spray them on you every day! Let's see if you don't get sick of me!

Male lead's perspective:

I'm covered in blood, and she isn't afraid of me. She must have fallen in love with me at first sight!

Her cooking is terrible, yet she still likes making food for me. Yes, she's deeply devoted to me! She knows I don't like the scent of roses, so next time she'll choose another fragrance. Yes, so thoughtful! I like it!

From the first time Lan Yanzhou found her, Meng Jinyue knew his power ran immeasurably deep. She couldn't confront him head-on, so she had no choice but to pretend to submit. Then her brother was framed and thrown in prison. She stole the other party's tiger tally and set a series of plans in motion.

Watching Meng Jinyue show her little claws, Lan Yanzhou could only laugh. Did she think she could escape like that? Impossible!

[Bonus Scene]

Meng Jinyue held a knife to her swollen belly and threatened, "Lan Yanzhou, let them go! Otherwise, I'll kill your child!"

With one foot on the man beside him, Lan Yanzhou sneered. "My child? Go ahead and try. Let's see if I won't make all these people share its fate!"

Meng Jinyue: This madman!

"Ning Niang"

Have you heard? Prince Kang's young lord actually married a maid!!!

Zhou Yuhuai was tricked into spending a night with a maid. The next day, they were caught together. The emperor already wanted to make things difficult for him, so he arranged for Zhou Yuhuai to marry the woman. Zhou Yuhuai had no choice but to wed her.

Ning Niang, who had been born into this world from the womb, was originally a maid in the Minister's residence. In one stroke, she leaped from humble beginnings to become a princess consort. She knew many people thought she was unworthy, but she wanted to secure her place. So she did everything she could to win Zhou Yuhuai over, only to be shut out every time! At last, she couldn't take it anymore and slapped Zhou Yuhuai hard in front of a crowd.

She finally saw sense. Since a gentle approach wasn't working, there was no point in continuing to curry favor. Their marriage had been arranged by the emperor, and unless Zhou Yuhuai wanted to rebel, they absolutely couldn't divorce! So Ning Niang decided to use this opportunity to make money, and, along the way, to "make a move on him"!

But as she went about it, Ning Niang began to notice something strange. Why was Zhou Yuhuai always staring at her? Had she given herself away?

The hottest topic in every corner of the capital was when this handsome young lord would divorce his wife! Even the rich and powerful were secretly placing bets, each wagering more than the last!

But right after they had placed their bets, they saw the young lord kneeling before his wife, begging her not to divorce him. Uh, well... could they secretly get their bets back?

"After Transmigrating into a Book, I Became the Second Male Lead's Lackey"

After transmigrating into a book, she became a professional lackey. Shiliu was quite satisfied. Her employer provided food and lodging and paid her plenty of money, which was a much better life than she'd had in her previous life! The only problem was, the master she served was the second male lead, who kept picking fights with the male lead and trying to steal the heroine!

Whenever the second male lead, her own master, went head-to-head with the male lead, Shiliu really wanted to tell him to stop courting death. After all, in a male-oriented novel, the male lead, Long Aotian, was bound to get most of the opportunities. And naturally, the heroine would end up with him too. But she was a nobody, and he wouldn't listen! Fine, she'd give up. They could all go down together.

But the more she slacked off, the more the story veered off course! The male lead turned into a great demon and a madman! The heroine became a murderous lunatic! Even her master, the second male lead, became a lunatic possessed by some kind of twitching spirit! And there was another madman always ready to hand her a knife!

Hey, hey, hey! She's just a little shrimp, not some hero who's going to charge into the world alongside you lunatics!

Bonus Scene:

Someone pointed at the male lead and asked, "Who is he?"

Shiliu: "An idiot who got hit on the head!"

Pointing at the heroine, they asked, "What about her?"

Shiliu: "A lunatic whose fever made her delirious!"

Then they pointed at the second male lead, who was currently twitching. "And who is he?"

Shiliu: "A delusional man who spends all day imagining he's the God of Wealth!"

Finally, refusing to give up, they pointed at the man sharpening a knife. "What about him?"

Shiliu: "The fool at my house who only ever says one, two, three, four."

Faced with everyone's sympathy, Shiliu wept. Life was hard, but she had to keep going.
