Upcoming: Rough Guys Can Smell Sweet Too, and Tales of the Third Palace
About this novel:
[Double Rebirth / Palace Intrigue / Wife-Chasing Crematorium]
Feng Tan x Yun Guan
Checked-Out, Unhinged Crown Princess x Crown Prince at His Wits' End
Synopsis 1:
Feng Tan came from a fallen noble family. Thanks to a fortune-teller's words, "The Kun Star shall support the heir and bring prosperity to the realm," she accidentally became the Crown Princess.
Believing that fate had decreed it, Feng Tan resolved to become a virtuous empress and make history alongside Yun Guan.
So she supported Yun Guan, treated the women of the harem well, endured the Empress Dowager's harshness without complaint, and devoted everything to raising her son.
In the end, Yun Guan said she was soft on the outside but cruel within. The noble families' daughters coveted her place as empress, the Empress Dowager punished her as a matter of course, and her son wept that having a mother like her was suffocating.
Before she was even forty, Feng Tan grew ill from overwork and died in misery.
When she opened her eyes again, Feng Tan had returned to age sixteen. She hadn't even entered the Eastern Palace yet, let alone become empress.
Feng Tan was overjoyed. Such a wonderful thing could really happen?
Her father, Feng Ji, said, "We've raised you all these years. It's time for you to repay us. Starting tomorrow, you'll meet potential husbands. Remember, looks, character, and talent don't matter. What matters most is whether he can help the family."
Feng Tan replied, "You and the uncles should gamble less. That would help more than anything."
"Ungrateful daughter! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Feng Tan shrugged. Her tragic past life had already proved that the Feng family's dutiful daughter had gone to the afterlife, while the unfilial sons could go wherever they pleased.
This time, she was going to go wild!
Synopsis 2:
Yun Guan had always thought the fortune-teller had been deliberately arranged by the Feng family.
Because of the words, "The Kun Star shall support the heir and bring prosperity to the realm," he had been forced to marry Feng Tan, while the woman he wanted could only marry someone else.
Yet this poisonous woman was praised as virtuous by the court officials, called kind by the women of the palace, and even had the court historians fighting to write books about her.
She died at thirty-seven, and the Ministry of Rites even requested that she be given a funeral of the highest rank, on a scale surpassing that of every empress in history. What made her so special?
At the funeral, Yun Guan glared gloomily at Feng Tan's memorial tablet. Suddenly, a wicked gust blew the incense ashes into his mouth and nose. He couldn't catch his breath and choked to death on the spot.
Yun Guan gritted his teeth. Feng Tan, you really are a vicious woman. Even dead, you won't leave me alone...
As if waking from a nightmare, Yun Guan sat bolt upright. The furnishings around him... this was... the Eastern Palace?!
Synopsis 3:
Yun Guan's plan was perfectly laid out. Feng Tan would still become his, of course, but she could forget about being Crown Princess. Without the position of principal wife, she would have to learn to serve her husband with meek tenderness.
At a midsummer lotus banquet, Yun Guan found the fortune-teller and changed the words, "The Kun Star shall support the heir and bring prosperity to the realm," to, "Her destiny makes her an ideal wife who will bring her husband good fortune and prosperity to his family."
That way, when his father assigned Feng Tan to the Eastern Palace, he could make his position clear and take her as a lesser consort or concubine.
But the first to speak wasn't the Emperor. It was Duke Zhang: "I hear Miss Feng is meeting potential husbands. They say her father is demanding a hefty bride price to restore the family fortunes! With the fortune-teller's prediction, surely he can sell his daughter for an even better price."
Yun Guan's fists clenched abruptly. What did that mean? Had the Feng family really treated Feng Tan's beauty and talent as bargaining chips? No matter how lowly Feng Tan might be, she belonged to Yun Guan! No one else had the right to humiliate her like that!
Reading Guide:
1. In both their past and present lives, the leads are each other's only partners. The hero loves her without realizing it.
2. The present-life story is the main focus, with scenes from their past life woven in.
3. The palace intrigue is lighthearted, but the romance is intense. The institutions are modeled on the Tang dynasty, with some original elements.
4. This is a totally self-indulgent work, so expect a lot of wild writing.
Update Schedule:

Theme: Love should be spoken honestly.

It is his problem that the male protagonist is a scumbag, but it is simply incomprehensible that his only son can be so stupid. I hope this son can be reborn, but he has no mother-son bond with the female protagonist.
The son in his previous life hoped that he would end badly and be as blind as his father.
The writing is very good, but I want to see the Prince's crematorium, where the Prince can at least get some blood and be injured, instead of just being there with one black eye or two red eyes.
Hao Datou, you are not allowed to pity the male protagonist. If you pity the male protagonist, who will pity the female protagonist? No, no, no, no💔
Okay, not bad, just torture the male protagonist like this💪
The male protagonist is really disgusting. He underestimates the female protagonist due to misunderstanding and prejudice. He falls in love with the female protagonist without knowing it and suppresses her at every turn. He repeatedly uses people close to her to flog and stimulate the female protagonist. He prides himself on being smart but can never see clearly what the female protagonist is doing. She believes everything the female protagonist says except the female protagonist. She cares so much about the heroine and loves her so much, but the heroine has not felt it at all for twenty years. She even feels that the hero hates her and only uses her as a reproductive tool and a toy on the bed💔. I don't know whether to praise the hero for his skills or what.
When will the two little mutes start talking? [Rolls eyes]
I still think the one I met before is good, it would be better if we could get married as soon as possible.
In the next chapter, please let the author make sure that the prince falls to his knees, or even breaks his arm or leg. Give him a rejection first and then make arrangements. [Rolling eyes] That's so annoying [Rolling eyes]
Tan: The nemesis is here. If you don't run away, how long will it take?
