A Thousand-Gold Heart

Remember to bookmark [the author's profile]. I've already written more than a dozen completed novels. - The capital has "two great scourges" that make nobles and officials tremble at the very mention of them. The capital's top gossip columnist, Xia Qinghe, is a woman disguised as a man. Armed with the secrets of all the city's powerful families, she can topple a prince's title with a single doggerel poem. She's known as the "disciplinary inspector" of the marquis circle. The capital's top treacherous minister, Gu Xingyuan, rides his horse into court and dozes off before the emperor. The officials turn into quails whenever they see him. He's the living embodiment of "holding sway over the entire court." The two had never crossed paths, until... Xia Qinghe ran into Gu Xingyuan's sedan chair in the street and was given fifty strokes, leaving her backside bruised and battered! Then she stumbled across kidnappers outside the city and, in her panic, ran straight into a sedan chair filled with the scent of medicine. She looked up and met a pair of captivating, peach-blossom eyes. A frail beauty sat within arm's reach. Xia Qinghe was instantly smitten: "Beautiful young master, please save me!" Everyone in the capital was eager to see what would happen when the "two great scourges" met. Would they tear each other apart, or... join forces to wreak havoc? - When a princess from a neighboring kingdom came to marry into the imperial family, the Grand Empress Dowager publicly pressed Gu Xingyuan to marry her. The chancellor raised his cool gaze and stunned the court with his reply: "Your servant has already given his heart to someone." The emperor, a devoted fan of his uncle, was bursting with curiosity, and the officials joined in with their questions. Gu Xingyuan said, "This woman and I are fated to have no future together. Your Majesty, please do not trouble yourself with my marriage again." The young emperor slapped the arm of his throne in a hurry. "Uncle, tell me who she is! I'll help you steal her away!" Gu Xingyuan's gaze burned bright. "Xia Qinghe, the eldest daughter of the Xia family." The court fell silent. She was the future empress, chosen by the late emperor and all but officially confirmed! The officials fell quiet, too afraid to echo the emperor's words. Yet the young ruler blurted out excitedly, "If Uncle likes her... then marry her!" Please bookmark my profile and check out "I Got Transported into an Ancient Clan-Building Game," available there. Wang Ling was transported into a family-management simulation game and became the head of the Langya Wang clan. Her starting assets included four drafty thatched huts, eight elderly, young, and frail clan members, and a chubby second uncle who was always trying to seize power. "Second Uncle, we're broke and have nothing but these four walls. What are you even trying to take over?" Luckily, her card-drawing System was special. It could summon historical figures who shared the clan's surname: Wang Bo, one of the Four Eminent Figures of the Early Tang: "Clan head, I've finished the couplets... Could I have some meat?" Wang Zhen, a farming expert: "It's been dry for days. We need to store water in the medicinal fields as soon as possible to retain moisture!" Wang Zhaojun, one of the Four Great Beauties: "This man's more handsome than Pan An, but as wise as a child. Once I marry him, life will be a breeze!" Make money! Draw cards! Take the imperial exams! Seize military power! Swear to move the clan back to Langya Commandery! If we're playing, we're playing to become the greatest clan in the land!!! Just as life was getting better and better, a shadow quietly fell over them. A merchant who paid high prices for calligraphy and paintings vanished under mysterious circumstances, and the local powerful families kept targeting them... Yet all the clues pointed to a few obscure minor clans from other commanderies? No, this couldn't be a coincidence! As chaos swept across the land and warlords vied for supremacy, Wang Ling caught sight of a familiar figure. Qin Yu, the overbearing CEO from the real world, wore a military robe and sneered at her: "This poorly designed trash game... Of course it was easy to beat." [System Warning: There can only be one greatest clan!] Wang Ling drew her blade. Behind her, Wang Wei, Wang Jian, and Wang Anshi stood ready for battle. "Mr. Qin, your former employee is here to flip the table!" But when she got a closer look, Qin Shi Huang stood motionless while Wu Zetian raised an eyebrow and smiled. Wang Ling's eyes widened in shock. Wait!! Was this supposed to be a relaxing farming game, or a battle for supremacy?! · Click [the author's profile] and enjoy a happy life! Theme:
