In the spring of the second year after the new emperor Yan Shao ascended the throne, the Phoenix Lord, Gu Shufei, fell gravely ill.
The Phoenix Lord's eyelashes trembled as he used all his strength to hook his little finger around Yan Shao's.
“If there is a next life, I want to be a willful, arrogant young lord, with Your Majesty to stand up for me whenever I get into trouble, rather than a Phoenix Lord who is proper and sensible and never makes Your Majesty furrow her brow.”
Yan Shao held the hand of the husband with whom she had tied the knot, sorrow in her eyes. “From now on, A-Fei, do whatever you please, as long as... you can be a little happier.”
In the sixth month of the second year of Yongyuan, Phoenix Lord Gu Shufei died in Changle Palace, aged twenty-five.
They say that ever since the Phoenix Lord passed away, Her Majesty has been in low spirits and has shown little interest in the consorts of her harem.
Even the general stationed for years at the border had heard the rumors.
But when General Lin returned to the capital to report on her duties, she discovered a young lord at Her Majesty's side.
For the first time in her life, General Lin heard her wise and mighty sovereign speak so gently: “Go back to the palace first. I'll come find you in a little while.”
General Lin was exasperated. Was the border so remote that the rumors were this out of date?

Ever since entering the palace, Gu Shufei had often been told that he was nothing but a pitiful substitute who could be discarded at any moment.
A substitute for whom?
Gu Shufei scoffed. Who would dare make the young master Gu a substitute?
Until one day, Gu Shufei found a scroll hidden in a compartment in the bedchamber. Apart from the small mole on the cheek, the person in the painting looked exactly like him.
There was a title beside it: Phoenix Lord.
That day, half the palace saw Lord Gu storming toward the Imperial Study, his steps swift and furious.
...Later, they heard that Lord Gu had been carried back to his quarters in a sedan chair, his face red.
Reader's guide:
[Pure-love devotees, stop here. Don't read any further. This book isn't your thing. Turn back while you still can!]
1. A short practice story, complete at 100,000 words. The male lead is a virgin; the female lead is not. They are not siblings.
2. The female lead's feelings for the male lead and the other members of the harem are like our love for side dishes and staple foods.
3. Men can bear children. The female lead has children with other people, but the Crown Princess is the male lead's child.
4. Although their personalities differ quite a bit between their past and present lives, he is the male lead in both, and he loves the female lead in both lives.
5. A short, relationship-focused story about rekindled love after a breakup. It focuses on the harem and hardly touches on court politics.
6. My wealthy readers, if even one of the first five points bothers you, run at once! Don't start reading! Who am I to expect you to force yourselves through it? Don't put yourselves through that. There's no need.
Theme: Even if I could live again, I would still love you.
Well, for comparison, if the female protagonist has a harem, but ends up disbanding it for the male protagonist, is it still considered a harem story? It doesn't count, so it doesn't count as a violation. This type is obviously a sweet pet article.

It has nothing to do with the author and readers [A hug] When I am a reader, don't make me answer questions when I am relaxing my mind 😫]
Dear author, can I ask? Is it a boy who is born or is it a factor of nurture? I personally don't look at boys, but if it is a factor of nurture, I can accept it.
This mine is literally dancing on my xp
I want to watch it even more when I see the comment section saying that the heroine is a scumbag. I'll wait for my wife's update*^_^*
