[Blurb]
Everyone at court knows that Emperor Yuan favors the Chancellor. Er, the former Chancellor.
But there are always some fools who dare impeach even the former Chancellor.
"When Chancellor Xu was in office, she built factions, abused her power, corrupted the court, flouted the law, accepted enormous bribes, and even disrupted the military..."
Emperor Yuan barely lifted his eyelids. In an unhurried voice, he said, "If she's so capable, let her come back and manage my harem."
[Mini-scene One]
When new officials enter the court, the Minister of Personnel personally gives them some pointers:
"The first rule of being an official: Don't provoke Chancellor Xu!"
"When Chancellor Xu was in the Eastern Palace, she was His Majesty's study companion and attendant. The two of them had a... very close relationship, eating and sleeping together. Well, every month, there are a few days when her temper gets... especially bad. She even dares to talk back to His Majesty."
"She's also incredibly petty, with a mind as narrow as a needle. She remembers every little thing, no matter how long ago it happened..."
"So don't think Chancellor Xu has fallen just because His Majesty dismisses her now and then. That's just the two of them having a spat. When she's out of court, Chancellor Xu is even scarier than when she's in it..."
[Mini-scene Two]
Years later, the civil and military officials lamented, "Chancellor Xu really worked herself to the bone. She poured her heart and soul into everything while in office, personally handling every matter, and in the end she died of overwork. We all misunderstood her! Thank goodness His Majesty is a sentimental man. Chancellor Xu may be gone, but her younger sister is still here. At least that's some comfort to Chancellor Xu..."
Xu Jiao: "Comfort my ass! May your whole families die of overwork! I'm the one who won't die!"
Things to know before reading:
1. One-on-one romance, sweet story, happy ending, career-minded male lead, no harem, and there's an important reason: the Chancellor keeps a tight leash on him.
2. A match made in heaven! (Heavenly match, as in a match made by fate, not a match that makes people cause trouble.) Childhood sweethearts! (Childhood buddies is more accurate.)
3. The dog is the Chancellor, don't get the wrong idea!
4. The female lead transmigrates. She disguises herself as a man in the early chapters, then opens the way for women officials. The Chancellor is career-minded, with equal focus on work and romance.
5. 80% paywall, 72-hour delay.

Preorder: A Sleeve Hiding the Sky
Chen Ling is an emperor. In the eyes of her ministers, she is always cool and composed, diligent in her duties, and has only one soft and cuddly little Crown Prince by her side. Only Chen Ling knows that she has always bound her chest, disguised herself as a man, and sat on that perilous dragon throne.
Three years into Chen Ling's reign, on a southern inspection tour, Prince Tan rebelled. She and the Crown Prince were trapped amid the rebel troops. Shen Ci risked his life to save them, showing no regard for his own safety. Then an awkward situation arose: when the little Crown Prince stood beside General Shen, they looked rather alike. How could that be?
Shen Ci had always kept a secret no one knew.
At first, the late emperor had just found his fourth son, Chen Ling, who had been living away from home. Shen Ci was sent to bring Chen Ling back to the capital and serve as his study companion. Shen Ci was troubled: The fourth prince was refined and delicate, almost too pretty. If a stone hit his foot, he'd secretly cry. If he couldn't walk any farther, his eyes would turn red and he'd ask Shen Ci to carry him. Of all the princes, Chen Ling was always the one who got bullied...
So Shen Ci took his side, and Chen Ling grew close to him.
Later, the situation at court became murky and treacherous. The crown prince died, and Chen Ling was thrust into the position of heir at the center of the storm. Then a whole group of study companions suddenly arrived at the Eastern Palace, but Chen Ling remained closest to Shen Ci...
One year during the autumn hunt, someone tampered with Chen Ling's wine, and Shen Ci mistakenly drank it.
What happened next felt like a chaotic, jumbled dream. In a daze, he heard her crying as she called him Brother Shen Ci. The dream seemed absurd, but also real and satisfying, and he couldn't stop...
When he sobered up afterward, he saw the late emperor's consort trembling on her knees in the room and realized he'd committed a grave taboo.
Chen Ling's face darkened. "For the sake of your family's generations of loyalty, I won't let this matter go any further. But from today on, get out of the Eastern Palace..."
Shen Ci looked at Chen Ling and didn't offer a single explanation. He left for the border.
During the four years Shen Ci was away from the capital, he first heard that Chen Ling had fallen seriously ill and gone to a palace retreat to recuperate. Later, Chen Ling ascended the throne and gradually purged her enemies at court, consolidating her power and becoming a diligent, enlightened ruler in the eyes of her ministers. She was no longer the Chen Ling Shen Ci remembered, the one who would cry if a branch scratched her hand...
Shen Ci never expected that while visiting his aunt, he would run into Chen Ling and the Crown Prince trapped in the rebellion.
On the journey escorting the emperor and Crown Prince back to the capital, Shen Ci tossed and turned. The Crown Prince was just three years old, and that autumn hunt had been... Shen Ci knelt before the emperor. "This general dares to ask Your Majesty to give my son back to me."
Chen Ling gritted her teeth through her period pain and snapped, "Get out!"
The main story of Snow Filling the Long Road, part of the same series, is complete.
[Blurb]
Wen Yin is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongan's household. With her cloudlike hair, slender waist, and clear, expressive eyes, she is breathtakingly beautiful. For a long time, the young noblemen of the capital have secretly yearned for her.
Then a sudden upheaval in the capital leaves the emperor powerless and the former crown prince deposed. The Marquis of Yongan's household, which had not joined the Eastern Palace's schemes, is implicated. They are forced to marry their only daughter, Wen Yin, to the deposed crown prince, who lies dying in bed, to bring him good fortune.
Though the marriage is supposedly meant to bring good luck, everyone in the capital is waiting to see how the deposed crown prince will torment Wen Yin, a peerless beauty. They are also hoping to have their turn with her after he dies.
But what the entire court sees is Li Yu taking up his sword again and ascending the imperial throne.
If you are the only person in the world who treats someone well, then even if you have to grind your teeth to dust and swallow your own blood, you must keep her safe.
Li Yu did it.
On their wedding day, Wen Yin looked at Li Yu on his sickbed and used a warm, damp towel to gently wipe his face clean, bit by bit.
Not bad. Clean, fair, and refined. [A few days later: Yeah, right~]

I feel that I have been reading novels for so many years. Xu Jiao in the author's writing is really exactly what I dreamed of. She has clear ideas and strong logical thinking, especially the detailed description of the things the heroine handles in the court. It is really amazing. I hope you will continue to work hard and write better novels.
Wow, the supervisor was crying when he saw it. Fortunately, the supervisor is back again! Otherwise, I would feel like something is missing. This is the best ending
Both the male and female protagonists and the supporting characters are all people with big hearts and the world at heart. The male and female protagonists have a deep love for each other and they work together to protect the country and the country, which is touching. There is love, family affection, the feeling of master and disciple, the court is clear, the sea is clear and the river is clear. The key is to not deliberately design vicious supporting characters or engage in unnecessary emotional entanglements, but to be able to rely solely on the country, the court, the king, and the ministers. These detailed stories are interspersed with the tacit understanding, emotions, running-in, and growth of the male and female protagonists. The theme is fresh and refined, the full text is sweet but not greasy, and the plot has ups and downs without being bloody. To be honest, the author's writing style sometimes has the problem of being too modern, and there are many typos, but in terms of plot, theme, and characterization, I haven't found one that suits me so well in a long, long time. There is a literary shortage. It is not easy to find a good author. My ancestors have read the Donggong series and the previous dynasties. I am in a literary shortage again... When will the article by Bo Jin and Zhao Nuan be updated? 555
Looking forward to the blue moon, Bo Jin's story
Like it, like it very much. The story is rich, and so are the characters. There is the love of childhood sweethearts, and there is also the righteousness of family and country. When reading an article like this, you won't think about skipping which paragraph to get to the key points, because every part is wonderful. Keep up the good work and look forward to other better works.
I've finished reading it, but unfortunately chapters 31 and 84 have been locked... When will they be unlocked?
I also really like Huobaolong and Ajiao.
Hey, I actually like this one better. Huobaolong and Ahjiao should live a good life~
Seeing Xiao Long Bao give a name to the grapes was the most touching part for me at the end.
Laughing to death. The male protagonist is petty, but our Bo Jin is really good [touching head]
