Please add my ongoing novel, "East Palace's Feuding Couple," to your reading list!
Blurb: #Bright and bubbly sunshine girl x scheming, ruthless, beautiful and tragic man#
Huai Zhen is the Emperor's beloved daughter, doted on since childhood. But when she speaks up for her mother, she angers the Emperor and falls from grace, suffering one cold shoulder after another.
Xie Jun is a marquis's illegitimate son, talented but unappreciated and constantly suppressed. He appears to be a modest gentleman, but is actually cunning, treacherous, and unfathomable.
Marriage is a stepping stone for him, and a way out for Huai Zhen.
They agree before the wedding to take what they each need. But as time passes, he gives in to his desires. He wants not only her heart and body, but all the years of her life, and he is willing to break his promise to have them.
By then, her father is dead, her brother has inherited the throne, and her daughter is gravely ill. With no one to rely on, Huai Zhen has no choice but to give in. His warmth gradually reaches her, and she begins to fall for him.
But fate has other plans. A calamity puts an end to their budding love.
When she is on her deathbed, he is away on campaign.
He waits for her to swallow her pride and summon him home. But after being betrayed, she is too heartbroken to bend, and refuses until the day they are parted forever.
★
Years after her death, she still cannot pass on.
Huai Zhen's tomb grows ever grander, incense burns ever more plentifully before it, and the offerings and honors bestowed upon her grow ever more lavish. Even the head of the faithless man who once wronged her is delivered before her.
She thinks she will remain like this until the end of time. Then one day, her tomb is destroyed, and she becomes a wandering spirit on the barren plains. She looks up and sees the head of a condemned minister displayed high on the city wall. That gloomy, weathered face is so familiar, so like her husband's in life...
★
Reborn, Huai Zhen returns to the time before she and Xie Jun met. Back then, he was gentle and reserved, innocent and shy, nothing like the man she knew in her previous life.
She plans to change her fate, protect him and keep him safe, and renounce love and marriage. She is ready to fight alone, but as she goes along, more and more allies join her...
Her brother, a disposable character with whom she had little connection in her previous life; her sweet daughter, who died young; an aunt she has never met, sent away to marry for an alliance; a beautiful, worldly cousin; loyal and courageous Imperial Guards; a resourceful, flirtatious scholar; a rebellious young lady from a distinguished family; a wily veteran of three reigns; and the devoted consort who married her in her previous life and still wants to marry her now, but never turns dark.
At first, she only wants to live differently. But she eventually discovers that destiny has chosen her, and that a woman, too, can rule a country, quell rebellions, and conquer the realm.
Even after taking the throne, she can hardly believe it. Who would have thought that the woman who reshaped the realm and ushered in a new age was once a sickly, despairing girl, trapped in the inner quarters and dead from childbirth?
Original title: "Back Before My Consort Turned Dark"
#My Rival in Love Is Actually Me#
Xie Jun: I fell in love with a girl and would go through fire and water for her. But all she ever wants to discuss is politics and military strategy. It's driving me crazy. I just want to enjoy being in love, but she seems to think I'm a stand-in...
Huai Zhen: After being reborn, I want to get my scheming power-player husband from my previous life to help me build a career. But he insists on playing the innocent and only wants to stay home with his wife and children. When I refuse to have children, he promptly drinks a potion to make himself infertile and vows to be with me for life. I can only ride off ahead and get things done, then come back to bed.
[Warning: In his previous life, the male lead willingly raised his love rival's daughter.]
1. A fictional medieval setting with no strict chastity codes or binding moral rules. The political maneuvering is childish, the melodrama is slow-paced and long, and it has little in the way of highlights or ambition.
2. The female lead is reborn. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads sexually inexperienced in this life, mutual devotion, and a sweet story about healing each other.
3. Both leads have flaws. The female lead is warm on the outside and cool on the inside, with a huge appetite for life. She can fit the whole world in her heart, and she's a pervert. The male lead is sweet on the outside and scheming beneath, a hypocritical, jealous romantic. Having suffered from an arrogant woman in his previous life, he has loyalty hardwired into his genes this time around. To him, the female lead matters more than the whole world.
4. Reasoned discussion is welcome, as is all good-faith criticism. Thank you for stopping by, dears. Please read the warnings!
Completed historical romances: "Spring's End," "Meeting My Beloved," "The Red Candles Went Out in the Bridal Chamber Last Night," and "East Palace's Feuding Couple."
Theme: Personality determines fate, and choices determine one's life.
I was so sad after reading the ending! The words written by Yangyang in his previous life were: "I hope that the wind will enter your arms, but you will not let me go."
After rebirth, the ending of the text reads, "The swan flies high and flies thousands of miles in one fell swoop."
Two states of mind, two portrayals of destiny.
In my previous life, I felt confused and hesitant, feeling lost, helpless and disappointed, and full of uncertainty about the future. This was the first and most obvious test, but it was a pity that I faced a stone.
After rebirth, he had a new look, he was heroic and confident. No matter when it comes to relationships or other matters, we no longer try cautiously, but have the confidence to take the initiative.
After much deliberation, I found that Xie Jun had not changed much in his two lives. In fact, he remained the same at his core. He always longed for the response and respect of his lover. The arrogant and venomous tongue in his previous life was just for protection. If the reborn princess was used to attack him, he should be easily captured.
In the previous life, they were waiting for each other to take the initiative, but judging from the extra story, the princess has to take the initiative to be evil. Whenever there is a quarrel, they will point their fingers at each other, wanting to stab the other person to death. He never speaks his true feelings, and always misleads the other person to think the worst about him, as if he would die if he let others know that he has a crush on him. Even if he wants to keep the person, he uses unconventional means, just waiting for the other person to feel his feelings one day.
Tsk, if things continue like this, they will become long-term friends before they even start dating.
During the more than 20 years of widowhood, Xie Jun was walking on a knife's edge every day! He should have agreed with Jia Jia's heart-wrenching words before she died. If his obsession wasn't so deep and he had let the princess go earlier, she might have started a new life. Even if she didn't have children, Jia Jia could still act as a hub to connect with each other.
In that matter, they actually just didn't trust each other, and they thought of each other maliciously. The princess thought that he would really use despicable means to snatch away her child, so Fang Cun was confused and quickly agreed to his shameless request.
Xie Jun, on the other hand, thought that she would really break up with each other and take the children away. For him, it was like he accompanied his wife and then lost his army. Inexplicably, he became a second-married and divorced man.
From God's perspective, if he really takes a step back and agrees to divorce, the princess will definitely be very grateful. Even for Jia Jia's sake, it is impossible to really break up with him, and the chance of getting back together is very high. But if that were the case, the story would be much duller, not as tragic and unforgettable.
When I first started chasing the story, I thought that the princess was a love-head who had fallen into the hands of the male partner in her previous life. In this life, she would change her partner and continue to have a love-making romance.
As a result, she was slapped in the face after chasing her. She has never been a lover. Even in her previous life, she was cold-hearted, sober, and proud. After witnessing the collapse of her parents' love, she was destined not to step into this quagmire. Everything was a trick of fate. Cui Yan said that lovers exchange hearts for each other. How she treats me is how I treat her. He also said that it was Huaizhen who was treacherous. This sentence should be a sophistry to excuse himself. Anyway, it can be seen that neither of them has a red heart towards each other.
The princess originally had a happy family, but suddenly her parents broke up and her mother died of illness. Her father went to the palace to enjoy family happiness, and he had to perform in front of her at every turn. No one could bear this, so she wanted to stay away from the palace where she was born and raised, and away from all her old friends. Cui Yan happened to appear at the right opportunity and gave her almost everything she asked for. She had no other choice but to let herself fall.
And Cui Yan is more of a conquest for her. A beautiful, lovely and proud girl, who defies the sky and the earth, doesn't look down on anyone, but only listens to her own words and has a starry eye. How can she not be moved? No one knows how sincere it is.
Xie Jun would not understand these things. He guessed that Cui Yan had some bad intentions towards the princess, but he could not guess what the princess was thinking about Cui Yan, so he was heartbroken. He pitied her, felt sorry for her, and felt unfair for her. He thought that she had been let down by the inhumane she met and was still not awake.
He doesn't think that as long as she doesn't love him, she still loves Cui Yan, right? Anyway, he is a bitch, always adding salt to other people's wounds, and he almost had the words "Forget Cui Yan, look at me" carved on his face.
It's a pity that his position is too low, not even as good as a primary school chicken. In the end, he hurt the enemy by one thousand and suffered eight hundred losses to himself.
Good guy, why do I talk so much nonsense?
Will there be a side story about everlasting pregnancy?
If the princess in her previous life had not died prematurely in miscarriage, these two would definitely be able to mate in the end. The arrogant and powerful minister with a sinister loyal dog and his cute little wife couldn't be any sweeter. It's a pity that they are all testing, it would be great if one of them is willing to let go.
Huaizhen: Please check when your child arrives.
I cried when I read it, I haven't seen such an excellent book in a long time. The extra episode of the previous life was really sadistic. The text is a sweet double life, right? I'll start reading the text tomorrow.
To be honest, I have always been a bit worried about the plot of the heroine's daughter. She was like a tool in the past life. In the past life, she pushed the plot. In this life, she defended the heroine's knife. She has never lived for herself. She used to say that a slave should abide by the duty of a slave. It was quite embarrassing. Later, she was described several times as definitely not worthy of being a wife to the heroine's brother. I want to say The heroine can become an emperor, so it is not unusual for Jiajia to become a queen or concubine. Of course, the author may still think that she is the daughter of the heroine, equivalent to a close relative, but it is really unpleasant to always talk about class status. Those other female supporting characters with good backgrounds can break away from the past and start over, but a girl must die for the Lord and be willing to be ordinary.
Wow, it took me two days to read them all. Madam, the layout of this article is so big. Pairs of characters in it also have their own main lines of destiny. PS, I really like the pairing of the Seventh Prince and Lu Niang. I want to know what kind of life they will live after Zen in my wife's conception. Is it that easy for the Seventh Prince to achieve Zen status?
There are very few words written about Ah Huai, but I really like those few sentences and wish there were more.
I particularly like the wife episode. I cried while watching it late at night. I hope my wife will continue to write such excellent works
