My Former Master Got Pregnant After Ascending the Throne

What should you do when your former master has successfully ascended the throne, but you once betrayed him?

Jiang Ling has only six things to say about that: ...

With his former master, now the emperor, closing in on him at every turn, Jiang Ling has only two choices:

A. Drop to his knees, cling to the emperor's leg, and desperately admit his mistakes, begging for forgiveness.

B. Calmly accept the poisoned wine, then calmly go to his death.

In the end, Jiang Ling resolutely drank the poison. After all, he had known for a long time that he didn't have long to live. He might as well preserve what little dignity he had.

Yet when he opened his eyes again, he found himself not in the underworld, but in a palace with exquisite furnishings and not a single weapon in sight. Then he met his former master's eyes. They were filled with hatred, utterly devoid of the warmth they once held.

Jiang Ling felt guilty as his former master took revenge, but at the same time, he was a little happy. He thought that going along with everything might make the other man feel better. Instead, it only made his former master more and more unhinged.

He had thought that was how his life would end. But when the truth that Jiang Ling was suffering from a deadly poison was laid before his former master, the man panicked.

Later, Jiang Ling became pregnant with his former master's child, and their relationship seemed to return to how it used to be.

Later still, when his former rival saw through layer upon layer of disguises and recognized the person in the veiled hat, gently stroking his belly, as the once-powerful beauty who had held the entire court in her palm, he found that the coldness around him had faded, leaving a serene and gentle person in its place.

After taking the baby Jiang Ling had given birth to, his former master looked at the child's lovely, snow-white face and thought his life had finally taken a turn for the better: his beloved at his side, his dear child in his arms. Who could look at him and not call him happy?

Of course, that was all on the condition that he had never truly seen Jiang Ling's "corpse."

What Should I Do If My Wife Is Everyone's Dream?

Xie Yunyan's wife is everyone's dream.

His wife is beautiful and talented, the perfect idol in everyone's eyes. She has attracted countless male fans who fantasize about her and fans who want to see her with a man, so he can only watch as the fantasists make her the object of their daydreams and the shippers pair her up with one boyfriend after another.

And he, as the one and only official boyfriend whom Yu Yushu acknowledges, has to avoid being seen with her. In everyone's eyes, even though they are both members of MOSAIC, they are like kings who never meet.

Xie Yunyan is furious. Xie Yunyan is jealous. Xie Yunyan is helpless.

Only a group of fans, mocked for their weird tastes and for shipping a real-life couple, silently support his relationship with Yu Yushu, a love they can't talk about openly.

Xie Yunyan can only use an alternate account to record the love story between himself and Yu Yushu. His lovestruck posts attract a large following of people who adore his romance, and he becomes a major blogger.

Until one day, his alternate account is exposed.

At the same time, their relationship is exposed too.

Yu Yushu is puzzled. Yu Yushu doesn't understand. But Yu Yushu chooses to indulge him anyway.

From then on, their relationship goes from secret dating to flaunting their love in front of their fans. Their clinginess makes their fans grind their teeth in frustration, wishing they could kick Xie Yunyan out and take his place.

But reality is cruel. No matter how outrageous Xie Yunyan's behavior gets, including writing fanfiction about the two of them on his alternate account, spending money to support fan creators, and joining fan groups to lead discussions about all their romantic moments, his shamelessness is truly something to behold!

There may never be another brother-in-law as brazen as him.

Even so, countless people are still itching to steal his partner away. Xie Yunyan can only protect his wife while secretly warning off his rivals. His pettiness is plain to see.

No matter how much people online gossip about their relationship, Xie Yunyan continues to build a happy life with Yu Yushu in peace.

Whatever people say, he will always be Yu Yushu's one and only boyfriend!

What should you do if your wife is everyone's dream? Of course you protect her and never let anyone with ulterior motives get close! As for acting like a dignified, confident official partner, please. Xie Yunyan doesn't have that in him!

This is probably a world where only the troublemakers and the protagonists are happy.

There will probably be a lot of forum-style chapters. The author hasn't followed celebrities for a long time, so please treat anything that doesn't match reality as this silly author's personal invention. (Bows.)

So the Sect's Beloved Disciple Decided to Break Off the Engagement:

Lan Ruo is the son of the leader of Lingyun Sect. As the sect's pampered and universally adored junior disciple, no one ever expected him to fall for a penniless boy who had just joined the sect and had nothing but a pretty face. Even more shocking, the boy was completely indifferent to Lan Ruo, leaving the junior disciple to beg and plead with his father to force the boy into an engagement with him.

Everyone resented the penniless boy for being so ungrateful. They thought he was playing hard to get on purpose, trying to make Lan Ruo pursue him relentlessly so he could marry into the powerful Lingyun Sect.

The junior disciple was young and didn't know how wicked people outside could be. Naturally, he didn't realize that the penniless boy would do anything to get into a great sect.

Everyone in the sect hated the penniless boy and secretly used petty tricks to ostracize him, but the junior disciple was so overbearing that he always protected him. Eventually, the others gave up targeting the boy and confined themselves to making snide remarks behind his back.

The penniless boy ignored their attacks and focused on cultivating, turning a blind eye to the junior disciple's advances.

Seeing all his kind gestures go to waste, Lan Ruo finally lost his temper. He threw the returned pastries to the floor and ran off without a second thought. He decided that if the penniless boy wouldn't accept his kindness, then he didn't want him anymore.

That was the day Lan Ruo decided to break off the engagement.

But the penniless boy panicked.

Gu Shen is a heaven-defying protagonist with a golden finger. He has a blood feud to avenge, and should have closed off his heart to love and focused solely on improving himself: forming his golden core at seventeen, reaching the Divine Transformation stage at twenty, and attaining the Dao and ascending at twenty-five. But an unexpected complication appeared on his cultivation path.

The sect's universally adored junior disciple had taken a liking to him and was pursuing him passionately. The junior disciple was handsome and kind, so although he brought plenty of trouble with him, Gu Shen chose to put up with it.

But after noticing the sly amusement in the junior disciple's eyes whenever he tried to win Gu Shen over, Gu Shen decided to play hard to get for a while. He would let the junior disciple fall deeply in love with him before agreeing to his requests.

But in the end, he took things too far.

The heaven-defying protagonist may be all bluster, but his actions tell another story. Whenever he gets something good, he shares it with the junior disciple! He's definitely not the kind of person who accepts everything his junior gives him while putting him down!

Theme: Love is the wisdom of compromise.
