The Madam Holds All the Power

Duke of Jingguo has been terribly irritable lately. After lying low and biding his time for years, he unexpectedly married a princess who rules as a prince. Just as he was about to rebel, she locked him in the house, and now he can't get out!

Zhao Xiyuan (running off in tears): Honey, open the door!!

Wei Lingyi: Huh? Husband, why are you still at home?

Zhao Xiyuan (voice cracking): I'm going to kill that dog emperor!!!

Wei Lingyi (coldly): Oh, don't worry. I already took care of him while I was at it.

Zhao Xiyuan: ...

King Jialin, Wei Lingyi, is stunningly beautiful, holds the lofty rank of a prince, and was raised by the empress. But the emperor suspects her of plotting rebellion every day, driving her to become taciturn and leaving her no choice but to rebel.

In her dream, she dies miserably in the snow. After waking, Wei Lingyi decides she should live differently. In any case, she is still a princess who rules as a prince, and she decides what to do with her life.

(A ruthless heroine who doesn't talk much x a drama-queen male lead)

Later, when they were old, Zhao Xiyuan asked her, "Honey, in your life, is there anything you've ever regretted?"

Wei Lingyi rubbed her chin. "I shouldn't have married you."

Zhao Xiyuan: ?

Wei Lingyi said flatly, "You're clingy, always causing trouble, and you're prettier than me. I never feel secure."

Reader's Guide:

1. A sweet and satisfying plot-driven story. The leads are conspiracy theorists. The early story features household and palace intrigue, while the later story focuses on court politics.

2. Meeting is fate; part on good terms. The setting is entirely fictional, so please don't nitpick the history.

*Coming next: The Buddha Tempts My Heart, starring Xuansu x Kong Nian

The demoness Qiyue, as beautiful as a crabapple blossom, is the greatest beauty in the Western Frontier and a ruthless killer who has driven countless people mad.

Yet she falls in love with a monk.

The holy monk is pure and noble, as bright as the moon and a refreshing breeze. He commands the forces of the world and sees through fate.

Qiyue tries her hardest to pretend to be an innocent little sweetheart, plotting how to make the monk fall for her.

Then one day, she suddenly notices that his ears are red and that he keeps sneaking glances at her.

Qiyue: ?? This monk is acting strange.

Legend says that everywhere the demoness Qiyue goes, corpses litter the ground and not a blade of grass grows.

The people of the Western Frontier cry out in fear: "Holy monk, hurry and destroy that demoness! Put an end to this threat!"

But they see the Buddha's chosen one, Xuansu, gaze tenderly at her as he cuts off a bandit's head with one stroke of his sword.

His crimson robes blaze like fire as he draws her into his arms.

[In her past life, she braved a mountain of blades to save him. In this life, he would cease being a Buddha for her, and what of it?]

A heroine who's black through and through but pretends to be white x a holy monk who's white on the outside, black within, and says one thing but means another
