The Beauty in the Bedchamber

[Completed]

[Delicate Yangzhou Courtesan × Brooding, Unpredictable, Abstinent General]

Everyone knew that Yangzhou's Mingyue Tower was famous throughout the land for its trained beauties. Every girl there was captivatingly lovely, with a beauty that could ensnare the heart. Whether as a concubine or a maid, she could throw an entire household into turmoil.

Lu Mingting was the most outstanding girl in Mingyue Tower. She had spent over a decade in Yangzhou, where people spoke in soft Wu dialects, before her procuress sent her off to the capital one day to bring good fortune to the sickly illegitimate son of a general's household.

On their wedding night, red candles burned bright and the bed curtains hung low. Before the sickly young man could even touch Lu Mingting's sleeve, he breathed his last. Lu Mingting thought she would spend the rest of her life a widow, but she never expected to catch the eye of the powerful and decisive General Who Protects the State.

Who in the capital hadn't heard of Gu Zhan, the General Who Protects the State? He was peerlessly handsome and kept his distance from women. Then one day, a trained beauty from Yangzhou came to stay by his side. His gorgeous concubine was radiant, with a bewitching figure, like a fairy from the Jade Pool or the goddess of the Luo River. Not only did the general dote on her exclusively, but they also slept side by side in each other's arms every night.

Later, the beautiful maid shed her lowly status as a trained beauty from Yangzhou and became the exalted Princess Royal. The general was consumed with regret, but all he could do was embark on a long, hopeless journey to win her back.

*

One day, a beauty with cloudlike hair and a slender waist was cornered by a tall man at the edge of the bed.

Lu Mingting wrapped her jade-white arms around the man's broad shoulders and narrow waist, trembling. "They all say I'm hard to kill, that I bring death to my husbands."

Gu Zhan let out a cold laugh, pinched her pointed chin, and bent down to kiss her. "Your general is even harder to kill. I'm made to bring you down."

"The Rebel's Wife"

I

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, warlords rose across the land, each vying for supremacy.

The Yan clan ruled over one region, their swords pointed at the heart of Jiangzuo.

The Tu Shan Yin clan had held sway over Yongzhou for generations. Their youngest daughter, Yin Ruofu, was graceful and renowned for her beauty.

II

After being reborn, Yin Ruofu found that someone had stolen the match intended for her. Even more shocking, the man who came to ask for her hand was none other than Yan Huan.

Who in the world hadn't heard that Yan Huan was a devious strategist, ruthless and cruel, and as sinister as they came?

Remembering what had become of the Tu Shan Yin clan in her previous life, Yin Ruofu shut her eyes and steeled herself: Fine, I'll marry him.

III

At first, Yan Huan said, "In this life, I want it all: the throne and a beauty on my lap."

Later, it became, "A'Fu, I only want you. What good is an empire to me?"

Yin Ruofu smiled. "Your Majesty, does your face hurt?"
