The Empress Is a Woman of Allure

Yun Zhixia has a bewitching face, alluring and full of charm. One glance is all it takes for people to come running to her, and her lovers are scattered across the land. Even several princes in the palace compete for her favor, much to the dismay of her father, the prime minister.

Then an imperial edict names her Princess Yihuan and sends her to marry into the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Everyone knows how cruel the emperor of Great Zhou is. The girl will likely enter walking and leave lying down.

But the young eunuch carrying the edict cheerfully says, "With the princess's beauty, she'll surely become a favored consort one day."

The beauty is graceful in every gesture. She smiles and says, "A favored consort? That sounds nowhere near as fun as being empress!"

On the day Yun Zhixia leaves with the wedding procession, the people line the streets to see her off. If he weren't worried about appearances, the emperor would have set off a string of firecrackers on the spot.

Blurb 2:

A new consort has joined Pei Yu's harem. She is breathtakingly beautiful, seductive and captivating, with an endless repertoire of ways to ensnare a man. She indulges him in everything and dotes on him. For the first time in his life, he understands how King Zhou must have felt.

But then, for some reason, that consort runs away.

After turning the place upside down, Pei Yu finally finds her. "You're pregnant. Don't make a scene."

But the woman smiles and asks him, "Who are you?"

All those months of tender affection vanish like smoke. Pei Yu is furious. "What do you take me for?"

"Nothing more than a sperm donor."

Unable to accept this, Pei Yu takes Yun Zhixia's hand and leads her to the top of a mountain to gaze over his kingdom. He hints, "Keep working at it, and all of this will be yours!"

Yun Zhixia exclaims, "What? You want me to become empress?"

Pei Jue: "..."

A seductive beauty who does as she pleases and lives life to the fullest vs. a duplicitous emperor who'd rather die than admit he's a lovesick fool
