A belatedly obsessed, rabid-dog new emperor vs. a gentle, resilient, fallen beauty
[Angst] [Forced Possession] [Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium] [Rivalry Between Men]
Blurb:
Cheng Li was born into a powerful family. She was the cherished jewel of the old chancellor and the most beautiful woman in the dynasty.
Her father doted on her, her mother loved her, and she had a wonderful marriage ahead of her. She had been engaged to the crown prince for years, and their wedding was just around the corner. Everyone envied her.
But on the day of the wedding, the emperor died, the throne changed hands, and Prince Ying staged a coup to seize power. The crown prince never got to ascend the throne. He fell from power and was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace.
As if that weren't enough, her father was accused of secretly hoarding armor and charged with treason. The whole Cheng family faced exile and execution. Their peaceful home was gone, and their lives became unbearably bitter.
That night, in the palace...
The sovereign wore a black dragon robe embroidered with gold. Tall and upright, he stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes lowered, coldly regarding the pitiful wife of his elder brother. After a long while, he sneered and spoke with contempt:
"The most beautiful woman in the capital? Your husband certainly thinks highly of himself..."
A coup changed everything. What was once has passed, and what is now was once impossible. She fell into the mire and was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace.
With all her heart, Cheng Li followed her husband's instructions and went to plead with him, hoping that for the sake of the brotherhood they once shared, he would spare her husband and her.
She never expected him to get the wrong idea and become convinced that she had come to seduce him!
After fleeing in a panic, she trod carefully, afraid of provoking him again.
But even after she retreated to the ends of the earth, she still couldn't escape him.
In the dead of night, candlelight flickered inside the golden hall. She was draped over his lap as the man's hand slowly caressed her slightly rounded belly. He gave her a knowing smile. "Are you going to run again?"

Next book: Jun Huan Jin
Rou Xi, the daughter of Imperial Physician Su, is gentle and composed, and so beautiful that no one can forget her after seeing her. Though her family background is humble, her peerlessly beautiful face has won the hearts of countless noblemen, who compete to ask for her hand in marriage.
In the end, Rou Xi is betrothed to the legitimate son of the Marquis of Pingyang.
Her future husband is gentle, refined, and handsome. Rou Xi is very pleased with the match. But as the wedding draws nearer, she is plagued by nightmares. Lately, she often dreams of passionate nights spent by candlelight with a cold-faced man, tall and powerfully built, with eyes as deep and chilly as a wintry pool.
Every time she wakes, Rou Xi is frightened to tears.
Fortunately, she has never met the man in her dreams. He doesn't exist, and it's all just an illusion.
Until she sees the current emperor for the first time at the Hundred Flowers Banquet...
The emperor's hair is bound beneath a black crown. His bearing is austere and dignified, and an aloof, icy aura radiates from him. His natural authority is impossible to ignore. His figure, face, and even expression are all exactly like the man in her dreams!
Rou Xi's legs go weak on the spot.
Half a month later, in the emperor's bedchamber...
The man approaches slowly, step by step.
Rou Xi keeps backing away, tears clinging to her lashes. "This humble subject... is engaged..."
The Softness of Rouge and Jade
Zhuang Zhuang has almond-shaped eyes full of allure and a graceful figure. Every glance she gives is bewitching. Sadly, fate has made her suffer at every turn. She has lived under other people's roofs since childhood and endured endless mistreatment.
When she turns sixteen, her uncle offers her as a concubine to a powerful man. She thinks her luck has finally changed and that she'll at last live in luxury and enjoy a few good days. But just after she enters the household, two terrible pieces of news arrive in quick succession:
First: the man she's supposed to serve is fifty-eight!
Second: the old man suddenly falls gravely ill and is on the verge of death. She'll have to be buried with him!
Zhuang Zhuang: "I, I thank your entire family, all eight generations of your ancestors!!"
To save her life, Zhuang Zhuang uses every trick she can think of to plan her escape. On the day she succeeds, she flees in a panic and, by a stroke of misfortune, stumbles into a hot spring hidden in the mountains.
A cold-faced man with a strong, fit physique and an extraordinary bearing is bathing in the pool. To make matters worse, he seems to have been drugged.
Seeing the dragon robe scattered on the ground by the pool, Zhuang Zhuang shudders. Things just got even more, more dangerous...

I came here because I was reversely mined. I saw a sentence a few days ago that basically said that most of the articles that have been mined are actually very interesting. As expected 😂 I read it in one sitting. This novel is really good and it suits my taste. I haven't read it in its entirety for a long time. I want to say that the author wrote it very well. Whether it's the relationship between the male and female protagonists or the governor, I really cried to death 😭. Although the male protagonist is a bitch, he is really honest. It's too silly, but the relationship between men and women is also very well written. It's sour in many places. All in all, it's a good book. The author's writing is very good, and the story is not cookie-cutter. It's very unique. Many places are unexpected. [Huang Xin] [Huang Xin] [Huang Xin] Love Lili, love Gouzi, and love the governor
