Not long after Yan Xi becomes the new top scorer in the imperial examinations, she acquires two identities: Hanlin Academy compiler and Consort Xi. From then on, she leads a theatrical life, playing two roles at once, engaging in court politics by day and palace intrigue behind the scenes.

The court is manageable. The harem is another matter entirely.

Lin Rongchen: None of you write as well as my beloved consort. I'll sleep with her tonight.

++++++++ None of you write poetry as well as my beloved consort. I'll sleep with her tonight.

++++++++ None of you know military strategy as well as my beloved consort. I'll sleep with her tonight.

Yan Xi: ... The consorts: ...

Later, when the top scholar learns the truth, he breaks down in tears: I'm done! You're all bullying me!

Lin Rongchen pins him down and gives him a thorough lesson in bullying. This is what bullying looks like!

The top scholar storms off, vowing revenge. He leads a group to attack a border city every few days.

The ministers can't take the disruption any longer and offer their advice: Your Majesty, if nothing else, just make a small sacrifice and marry into his family! You can take him as your husband or become his wife!

Lin Rongchen: I'll marry him! I'll offer him my empire as a betrothal gift!

Xi: You'll marry into my family! Who wants your empire!

Minister: Why don't you two settle this in bed?

Lin Rongchen considers it for a moment. Never mind. I'll go on a personal expedition.

A cunning, bad-tempered, flamboyantly arrogant emperor top x a cross-dressing, frequently suicidal, face-blind top scholar bottom. [Yes, the bottom is face-blind.]

The harem consorts are all just for show. One-on-one romance, sweet story.

Ongoing historical romance in the same series: The Fallen Immortal

While sorting through old belongings, Bai Xuan finds a love letter written in a tone of brazen flirtation and imitating his handwriting. The paper is yellowed with age, and it's signed by the Ghost King, Ye Xue.

Clutching the letter, Bai Xuan storms into the ghost realm. "How dare you ghosts defile a heavenly god!"

Ye Xue, dressed in red like a blazing fire, raises his cup to greet him. "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, what perfect timing! Today's my wedding day... What did you just say?"

"..." Bai Xuan glances at the bride with her veil over her face, then angrily turns and leaves. "Cancel the banquet! Everyone, go home!"

Ye Xue sighs. What a misstep... He'd retrieved so many letters, yet somehow left one behind.

He carries the bride back to the room in his arms, his expression tender. "This is one of life's four great joys, after all. We can't let it go to waste."

The evening breeze lifts one corner of the veil, revealing that the bride in his arms is a wooden puppet, and the puppet looks just like Bai Xuan.

Back in the heavenly realm, Bai Xuan thinks it over and realizes something is off. Would the Ghost King really have such a shabby wedding? There must be some unspeakable scheme at work! No, he has to go investigate in secret!

Things get awkward when he does... Link:

Before long, an inn renowned for its excellent gossip breaks some earth-shattering news: On a night when the moon was beautiful and the person beside him was gentle, the great fiend, overcome with passion and a little too enthusiastic, accidentally pulled off the young lady's... wig.

A huge, gleaming bald head shines with a warm luster in the moonlight, blinding the great fiend. The young lady who forced him into marriage was actually a monk in disguise!

But inside, they're cheering and jumping for joy: Wow! Nicely done! Nicely done!! Humiliate him thoroughly!!!

Hiding in a corner of the inn, Xie Qiuchi drinks to drown his sorrows and pulls his hat down low, seething. Who leaked what happened that night?!

In the name of upholding justice, we're now collecting aphrodisiacs, anti-impotence remedies, and virility pills in bulk... The more, the better! The more, the better!

Ongoing novel: I Heard My Childhood Friend Had a Crush on Me

The great general Ji Beicheng enters the capital by imperial command. Everywhere he goes, crowds gather to watch and whisper.

Ji Beicheng doesn't understand. He asks his attendants why.

They reply, "Shen Bi just walked down this street."

He asks, "Did he... captivate the entire city with a single glance?"

They reply, "No. Shen Bi said something."

He asks, "What did he say?"

They reply, "...General Ji, with his big head and big bird, will be here soon."

Ji Beicheng nearly falls off his horse. Then he arches a brow, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Shen Bi saw me once, and now he can't stop thinking about me."

And soon, rumors spread throughout the capital:

Shen Bi has seen General Ji's thing.

Shen Bi can't stop thinking about General Ji's thing.

Shen Bi has had a crush on General Ji for years, but since he can't have him, he's grown resentful.

Shen Bi hears this and instantly blows his top. Without another word, he grabs his sword and goes to settle the score.

Ji Beicheng: "Shen Bi, we're comrades. How can you turn your sword on me?"

Shen Bi: "I'm here to cut ties with you!"

An incense stick later, Ji Beicheng looks at the ragged sleeves Shen Bi has slashed to pieces and frowns. "Are you sure you didn't come here to cut off my sleeve?"

"..." Shen Bi sneers, lowering the tip of his sword. "Want to learn about losing your heirs?"

Ji Beicheng: "If you want to lose your heirs with me, I suppose that can be arranged."

A beautiful, sharp-tongued, quick-tempered bottom who fights back at the slightest provocation x a refined and elegant top on the surface, but a cunning schemer beneath.

Both are generals.

A sweet romance.
