Muah! *Bows* As the youngest child born late in life, Xie Xian has a bit of a headache. His childhood nickname is Jintang, and with the gold, silver, houses, and land his parents gave him, his original plan for this life was to be a spoiled rich kid, spend money like water, and drink himself to sleep by the Qinhuai River. But his parents are getting old, and he can't expect his brother and sister-in-law to support him forever. He needs to think seriously about the rest of his life. Looking at the shelves full of books, Xie Xian smacks his forehead. Maybe he should just study. He wouldn't have to put up with his brother-in-law beating him, and with his father and older brother's connections, he could land a respectable government job. Then he wouldn't have to worry about the rest of his life. But... why do the new emperor and empress look so familiar? Like his sister and brother-in-law, who are so broke they borrow money from him every day? Xie Xian's eyes light up. "Brother-in-law, let's make a deal. Could you make sure our Xie family's Jintang really gets to sit on the throne?" P.S. All names, place names, and geography in this novel are made up. Don't try to match them to reality.

Did my husband get found out today? My friend's fantastic historical romance 3: Life After Failing to Become a Widow by Ying Sun Shi. I wanted to be a widow. Why did he come back? Pre-order: The Duke's Mansion's Head Maid Blurb Shen Yuying worked nonstop for three days. Just as she finally got a chance to close her eyes, she woke up as a little girl of three or four. The house was bare, drafty on three sides, and the quilt was cold and hard. The only way to keep warm was to shiver. Just then, a woman dressed in gold and silver came in through the door. For four taels of silver, her life was bought outright. From then on, Shen Yuying became Xiaoyu, a servant in the household of Duke Zhou. Marrying another servant and becoming a steward's concubine would be her ultimate fate. She could leave and become a free person, too. Unless she entered the Duke's mansion and became the head maid. When she came of age, she could leave in style, with her master providing her dowry. If she could be her own master, why hand over her life and livelihood to someone else, accepting hard work, scolding, and beatings without complaint? Spend her whole life as a maid and concubine, or become a free and independent person? Was there really any choice? My ongoing novel with the same premise, The Legitimate Second Son Xie Xuanhe woke up to find he'd become the legitimate second son of a marquis's household. His parents were loving, and he wasn't expected to inherit the title. He thought he could coast on his father and older brother's success. But life rarely goes as planned. His father had power, sure, but his older brother was a disaster! He was a spoiled wastrel with no talent and a terrible character, yet their grandmother doted on him and he was impossible to discipline. After their efforts to reform the older son failed, his parents decided to raise a younger child themselves, determined to produce a satisfactory heir. And Xie Xuanhe became that younger child. How long would it take for him to grow from the legitimate second son of a marquis to a worthy heir? Xie Xuanhe grabbed his older brother as he was heading out. "As the eldest legitimate son, why don't you turn over a new leaf and start making something of yourself first?" Theme: Love life and improve yourself
