Next story: The Enchantress (Reborn). Her beauty is her unbeatable weapon. Upcoming story: The Caged Oriole. The crown prince is a doting older brother.
The Xu family has been an eminent clan for hundreds of years. Although the old aristocratic families gradually declined after the Sui and Tang dynasties, and their descendants also had to take the civil service examinations, the family's foundations remained strong. They still usually arranged marriages with other distinguished families. But the Xu family had an odd one out.
Xu Fu, the eldest legitimate daughter of the family's third generation, was said to be so accomplished in virtue, speech, appearance, and needlework that she could even become crown princess. Unfortunately, only the Xu family knew how strange her temperament was. Put kindly, she saw through things. Put less kindly, she didn't care about anything, always wore a thousand-year-old poker face, and spoke with cutting bluntness. The First Madam of the Xu family had always thought that marrying such a girl into any family wouldn't forge a bond, but make an enemy.
At last, the head of the Xu family decided that this girl would not marry into another distinguished clan.
The Lu family came from a line of military commanders, with a distinguished record of service. For generations, they had been trusted confidants of the emperor. Unfortunately, in this generation, only their youngest son, Lu Ke, had inherited the family's fine traditions. But he was blunt and straightforward, with no knack for subtlety. Lord Lu worried so much that he was practically going bald. Who said military commanders didn't need to be shrewd? They needed even more cunning than anyone else, all right?
In the end, the Lu family decided to find him a clever wife. A wife's whispered advice can really come in handy.
And so the Xu and Lu families hit it off and arranged a marriage for their two youngsters.
A poker-faced young lady and a single-minded young general. Could they make it work?
Take a guess.
[Next story] The Enchantress (Reborn)
The Liang Dynasty fell. People said it was brought down by the Ninth Princess, Gui Sheng. It was rumored that her beauty was unmatched, and that the new emperor flew into a rage and did it all for her.
The new emperor, Chi Wen, rode in on horseback. Gui Sheng stood in Lingyan Pavilion in her most beautiful gown, watching him with alluring eyes. She knew she possessed the world's most beautiful face and most bewitching figure. They were her only weapons.
Chi Wen kept her in his harem without hesitation.
As soon as she entered the palace, the censor's memorials disappeared from the emperor's desk. When Gui Sheng heard, she smiled, utterly unimpressed. He was the new dynasty's emperor, revered by all. She was a princess of the old kingdom, despised by everyone. So what?
Within the palace's red walls, he still brought the most precious things in the world before her, all because he wanted to see her smile.
In her previous life, Gui Sheng was constantly on edge in Zichen Palace because of her identity. Even when Chi Wen entered Guixiang Hall, she could not bring herself to smile. Less than half a year later, she died. After her death, she discovered that the historians had denounced her: she was still remembered as the wicked woman who had thrown the court into chaos.
When she returned, she opened her eyes to find the new emperor breaching the city. Gui Sheng smiled. If everyone was going to call her a bewitching temptress who ensnared the emperor, then she might as well live up to the name.
Upcoming story: The Caged Oriole
During the crown prince's selection of a consort, Zheng Zheng fled in the middle of the night. She had barely reached the city gate when a hand clamped around her wrist. "Little sister, are you really so unwilling to become crown princess?"
She was so startled she couldn't answer. Turning around, she saw Chu Xiu smile and say, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to. You'll be the crown princess of the Eastern Palace, one way or another."
After a palace coup, the crown prince Chu Xiu was taken home by General Zheng and raised as his own son for over ten years. Once the emperor acknowledged him and brought him back to the Eastern Palace, the first thing he did was try to marry the little sister he had always held dear. Unfortunately, he loved her, but she felt nothing for him.
But whether she loved him or not, Chu Xiu said, was for him to decide.
The leads pretend to be siblings at first.

To be honest, I hate this so-called reformation. Mistakes you have made can be forgiven, but you cannot treat them as if they never happened. You still feel alienated when you think about it.
The heroine is really tired. I don't know how many women like this are going to throw themselves into my arms. It's really annoying. It's better not to have such a man.
Last time I watched it for the first time, I started reading it at 39. Why do I have to pay from 28 to watch it again? I thought I skipped a chapter just now.
I was lucky enough to read this article during the limited period, but there were no comments at the time. Today I came across it while scrolling through my favorites and left a few comments. The writing is quite good, and the "one-minded" straight male protagonist's straightforward feelings are indeed quite attractive, but I still want to express my personal thoughts. The latter part, especially the part about the Zhou girl, really shows the intelligence of the heroine, but to be honest, the behavior of the male protagonist in this part quite disappointed me, not that he His feelings are not firm, but what he does is not as comfortable as what he says. In my opinion, since the male protagonist is "straightforward" and "single-minded", his behavior should also show some performance when facing these "Yingying Yanyan". In fact, I quite wanted to see the male protagonist sternly refuse, but unfortunately it didn't happen until the end. In fact, it would be more comfortable if the couple worked together to solve these "Yingying Yanyan" problems. Especially at the end of the article, these plots made me feel that I couldn't see the male protagonist's growth in this aspect. These are some of my own opinions, sorry if you bother me.
I don't like this male protagonist, he's so useless. He's a straight man at first. He gets hurt when he goes out. He doesn't say anything when he meets a woman who sticks to him. He seems to listen to the female protagonist. What's the use? Maybe it will become a central air conditioner in the future., Ugh
