The Favored Consort's Acting Showcase

Announcement: The print edition, retitled With You, With Me, went on sale on December 2, 2023. Thank you all for your support.

*The full text has been revised twice. Tens of thousands of words have been changed. The only official edition is on Jinjiang.

In her past life, everyone said Su Ling was blessed. She was peerlessly beautiful and born into a powerful family: her father was the Great General Who Guards the Nation, and her elder brother was a junior official at the Dali Temple.

At seventeen, she married Prince Jin. Two years later, she naturally became empress of the Great Zhou.

In terms of status, no one could compare.

But in the first year of Yanxi, the Duke Who Guards the Nation fled in the face of battle, and the Su family was accused of treason.

After giving birth to a son, the empress died in the imperial harem.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become Qin Yue, daughter of a fifth-rank court historiographer.

Awakening from her dream, she had no intention of pining for that faithless man again. But for the sake of the child she had once borne, she had no choice but to enter the palace once more.

On the day of the selection, the emperor leaned back in his throne without a word, eyes lowered, his face full of impatience.

That was, until Qin Yue walked in, wearing a face identical to Empress Su's, and greeted him: “May Your Majesty enjoy ten thousand blessings.”

The emperor abruptly lifted his head. His dark eyes lost focus as their gazes met, and teacups shattered across the floor.

In a daze, he murmured, “A Ling.”

[A little scene]

Qin Yue: When I returned to the palace, I found that everyone who’d once screwed me over had wrinkles now, including that dog of an emperor.

Xiao Yu: You acted me, used me, and then didn’t love me?

[A little motherly scene]

She thought that when a person died, everything from the past was gone forever.

But she never expected…

The young prince would sneak into her chambers, take her little finger in his hand, and ask, “Are you my mother?”

P.S. This is an unconventional rebirth story, and the timeline continues moving forward.

The heroine marries the hero twice. She herself is the hero’s unattainable first love. There is no substitute trope, and both leads have golden fingers.

The heroine is the best actress and the most beautiful woman in the harem.

This blurb was written in early 2018.

Reader’s Guide (Please Read)

1. In theory, the souls are sexually pure, but the heroine has two bodies. To avoid arguments, I’ll say outright that this is not a sexually pure story. Readers who care about that, please take note.

2. This story focuses on the romance. It is entirely fictional, with a mishmash of historical elements.

3. Six updates a week, with no update on Thursdays. I’ll post a notice if I need to take time off, and extra chapters if nothing comes up.

4. I won’t abandon the story or pad it out. It has a happy ending and plenty of bonus chapters.

[The heroine’s story]

Gu Lan was the daughter of a seventh-rank judicial official. She had enough to eat and wear, and lived a comfortable, carefree life. The nightmare of her past life began when she became the concubine of Shen, the Second Young Master of the Jingyuan Marquis’s household.

He deceived her for three whole years.

Just as her family was ruined and she was trapped in a desperate situation, he married his well-matched cousin.

Given another chance at life, she would never make the same mistake again.

But just as Gu Lan was scheming how to send the beast to prison, she suddenly realized that his temper and disposition had become increasingly strange. Something seemed very wrong…

He not only kept saying that boys and girls were equally good, but even wrote on a legal document: “Article Two of the Marriage Law: The marriage system shall uphold freedom of marriage, monogamy, and equality between men and women.”

Gu Lan: ???

[The hero’s story]

Shen Huainan was known as A City’s richest lawyer. He had never lost a case since entering the profession, though his reputation left much to be desired.

His methods were those of a typical capitalist.

On the fifteenth day of the third month, as songs and dances filled the air,

Shen Huainan took on a divorce case worth over a hundred million. Sure enough, the story took an unexpected turn.

The new love won, the original wife was cast aside, and the scumbag came out on top.

Attorney Shen died at the hands of the original wife, who sought revenge.

When he awoke again, he had become the Second Young Master of the Jingyuan Marquis’s household, a notorious playboy with a scandalous reputation.

Shen Huainan rubbed his temples and sat up. He hadn’t yet figured out how to live this damned life when a row of slender and curvy young women appeared before him, each more coquettish than the last.

He heard they were all respectable concubines his grandmother had chosen for him.

Shen Huainan: Damn it.

Let the world end. This life is doomed anyway.
