Note: The Great Qi and Great Liang in this novel can be compared to the Song dynasty and the Later Zhou of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
Princess Yujun was of noble birth and famed for her beauty.
Rumor had it that she kept many lovers, from talented scholars to generals to powerful ministers.
One day, during a visit to the palace, Yujun was riding in her imperial carriage when a young man blocked her way.
She recognized him at once as the neglected little prince from the cold palace. He seemed… all grown up now, and rather handsome.
Yujun teased him, “You little brat, look at me like that again and I'll pluck out your eyes and play marbles with them!”
Later, the boy she'd threatened rebelled with a band of battle-hardened generals.
Armored and carrying a sword, he strode into the inner hall of the princess's residence and dragged her out from among a crowd of male lovers.
Gazing at the beauty beneath the lamplight, the young man didn't look away this time. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “I'm looking at you right now, and I'll keep looking until I've had my fill.”
Zhou Zhi's mother was a palace maid. Not long after giving birth to him, she went mad.
That winter was especially cold. No one cared whether they lived or died. Zhou Zhi sneaked out, but had no idea whom to turn to for help. The vast imperial palace seemed like a freezing prison that would trap him and his mother until they died.
As the tears froze on his face, Zhou Zhi saw a figure emerge from the Imperial Study, radiant as a deity.
He threw himself at her feet and desperately clutched her skirt. The scent of dragon's incense mingled with the fragrance of a young girl, at once cool and warm, filling his lungs.
She didn't pull away. She even stopped the palace maids accompanying her. “Tsk, where did this little stray dog come from? Poor thing.”
Later, she chose a prince consort. Her reputation lay in ruins, and she grew more and more haggard. Leaning against her imperial carriage, she looked like a peony on the verge of withering.
Only after Zhou Zhi survived countless hardships and ascended the throne did he finally get to cradle that famous beauty in his hands, just as he had always wished.
He showered her with love and spoiled her in every way, only for her to place a cup of poison to his lips with her own hands.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Zhi discovered he had returned to his youth.
Snow blanketed the world. The warm fragrance was just as he remembered. The young girl leaned over him, her bright, dark eyes taking in his face. “Where did this little stray dog come from…?”
After being reborn, the mad emperor becomes a scheming, sweet-faced green tea puppy, fighting and scrambling for everything, working himself to the bone.
The heroine is a princess of the previous dynasty and the emperor's adopted daughter.
My author page is full of completed novels, perfect for a reading slump~ Strongly recommended: the six-part series Rebirth and Joy and The Boudoir Records, along with my sweet treats series.
Theme: There is true affection in this world
The recent writing has been too rushed, and the ending is really just an ending.
In August, I would be very satisfied as long as I continue writing. You disappeared for so long and you didn't post on social media. I was like an ant on a hot pot, asking everywhere but couldn't find out how you are doing [crying] [crying]
Baohua: Li Nanshan! You teach great students! Li Yin: No prizes, no prizes... Baohua: The innocent young man my princess saved was turned into a wolf cub by you! Li Yin: Huh? I was obviously trained as a general! Baohua: If you don't have enough wolf cubs, you want to teach a tiger! Li Yin: Yes, that boy has been a tiger and a wolf since he was a child. I teach him in accordance with his aptitude! Yingyingxiao doesn't know, you are an aunt, can't you tell? Baohua: You... Li Yin: Even if he has ulterior motives, he sincerely protects Yingying, don't you think so? Baohua: I... Li Yin: Okay, okay! When the children grow up, we as elders only need to help them set the right direction. We should let them make their own decisions on how to act! Aunt said yes? Baohua: Ah... Li Yin: Your Highness, Fifth Prince, come here. Xiao Zhi: Can you go later? I'm going to hunt golden pheasants for my fifth sister... Li Yin: Colorful doesn't necessarily mean golden pheasants. Xiaozhi: Master, why are you closing the door? Li Yin: I'll beat you up behind closed doors and give you a black nose and a swollen face! I'd better go find Yingying and play pity for you! Xiao Zai: That's fine... That's fine! Li Yin: What the hell did I teach you!
Congratulations on the completion [red heart] [red heart] [red heart] The lovers finally got married.
Li Yin seems ruthless but he is affectionate. The author is a kind-hearted person, so he cannot bear to write the characters in the novel too evil.
So it turned out to be him in the last life... It can be considered a success... Very charming character
Xiaozhi: Sister, have you forgotten? It doesn't matter, I remember it for my sister! Today's surname is Zhao. Was there anyone surnamed Li in the past? I'll make a list for my sister tomorrow and we'll meet before we set off so that we don't have to worry about it later. Yingying: Stop messing around! Xiao Zhi: Sister, don't get me wrong, I am sincere... (I want to kill these ***)
Is this story so short? The eldest princess's good life ended abruptly because of her unrequited love for a man. She doesn't understand the brain circuitry of love.
Sigh😑... When I watched it, I couldn't help but think that the previous dynasty was the Ming Dynasty, which was very sad. But the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not afford the great enlightenment...

The ending is perfect, but a bit short
