【A treacherous warlord governor x a fragile, helpless vine】
【Ten-year age gap | Feudal patriarch, an old flame rekindled】
Xiao Che had won brilliant military victories and commanded awe across the realm. His iron fist kept the court and country silent.
Even princes of the blood had to curb their pride and hold their breath when they met him.
Gu Yinzhang was stunningly beautiful, destitute, and without anyone to rely on. Desperate to escape her predicament, she sought to attach herself to a powerful patron.
After several cautious attempts to sound him out, Xiao Che lost patience with her hot-and-cold behavior and laid things out plainly. “Stay with me for three years. You can name your terms.”
He was forceful, imposing the arrangement on her, and Yinzhang had no choice but to agree.
But she could never get past her own misgivings. She despised herself for it and tried to run several times.
“Yinzhang.” Xiao Che reached out to tuck her cloak tightly around her. “You were the one who provoked me first. Now you want to run? I'm afraid it won't be that easy.”
He laughed like a madman. “We agreed on three years. Not a day less.”
Uneasy, Yinzhang said, “Then swear you'll let me go after three years.”
Xiao Che laughed at her naivety. “I told you. Would you believe me?”
Yinzhang grew frantic. “Then what do you want? Do you expect me to be your mistress for the rest of my life? Xiao Che, this is too much!”
Xiao Che said, “Your mistress? Is that what you think of me? Yinzhang, I want you to be my wife, my empress.”

《A Favored Concubine in the Western Han》
Nan Zhi was sickly and spent a long time struggling through life alone before finally drawing her last breath.
When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to the Western Han dynasty.
Loving parents, a peaceful home, and no more illness: she was content.
She also had a little pocket dimension. At first, it was nothing but a patch of barren earth.
Then, by a stroke of luck, she got some soil from an imperial tomb. She planted a few radishes in it, and within days green shoots appeared, growing beautifully. After eating them, she immediately felt light and energetic.
She tried it a few more times and finally confirmed that anything grown in this space could nourish the body.
She knew it! Heaven wouldn't give a transmigrated woman something useless!
She was planning to sneak back to the imperial tomb for more soil and grow more food when she was selected as a palace maiden and sent to the residence of Crown Prince Liu Ju.
Zhu Nanzhi: “...”
The Crown Prince of Emperor Wu of Han seemed to have a rather tragic fate, didn't he?
Still, once she was in the Crown Prince's residence, sneaking out to get soil would be much easier. Perhaps she could even replace the whole pocket dimension with new soil.
She just didn't know whether the Crown Prince would be easy to deal with.
Crown Prince Liu Ju had a secret: he could enter other people's dreams.
Guided by those dreams, he had avoided countless overt attacks and hidden schemes.
But the dreams also clung to him relentlessly: his father's disappointment, the eunuchs' machinations, the schemes of those who shared his bed... They replayed night after night.
Forced to endure everyone's secrets and malice, he struggled to take a step while awake, and had nowhere to escape even with his eyes closed. He couldn't find a single place where he could let down his guard.
Then a palace maiden named Nan Zhi arrived at the Crown Prince's residence. She was simplehearted, bright, and innocent.
By her side, he could always sleep soundly, all through the night.
But Nan Zhi was always longing to go out and play, and kept talking about foods he'd never heard of.
That night, she even pulled him into a dream and cried that she wanted spicy hot pot. What on earth was that?
Never mind. Some lychees had just arrived from Lingnan. He'd go ask for some first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully, he could cheer her up.
