The Beloved Noble Consort

A new novel is out now. Check out my author page and follow it for updates!

Her grandfather is the Imperial Preceptor, her father is the Minister of Revenue, and her maternal grandfather commands a powerful army. Her eldest brother is handsome and gentle, while her youngest brother is lively and adorable. Born into a top-tier aristocratic family, she also possesses a breathtakingly beautiful, alluring appearance.

Qin Huaiwu, however, wants nothing more than to stay home, enjoy fine clothes and food, and laze about until the end of her days.

Unexpectedly, she is summoned to the palace one day, and from then on, she knows no peace.

Competing for favor? Not a chance. She'll just go through the motions and be done with it.

But who could have guessed that the damn emperor would fixate on her? Can't you see all the consorts in the palace craning their necks, hoping for your favor?

After being summoned to the emperor's bed for several nights in a row...

So much for His Majesty being indifferent to women, inscrutable, and devoted to governing for the good of his people. Is this what you call loving the people?!

Little scenes

Fu Yujing was furious, murderous intent darkening his heart, yet his hands trembled slightly as he pulled Qin Huaiwu close. "My beloved consort risked her own life to take a sword for me. Such devotion..."

Qin Huaiwu, wracked with pain: ...That's not what happened! Don't get the wrong idea!

Before the selection of consorts

Fu Yujing: "How could a woman with neither talent nor beauty be fit to become empress? My honored minister, choose your words carefully."

Later

I believe Noble Consort Qin is dignified and virtuous, possessing both talent and virtue. She should be the mother of our nation. What do you think, my ministers?

The ministers fell silent for a long moment, angry but afraid to speak: His Majesty is wise.

The heroine is lazy but no pushover, and gets her daily dose of putting scumbags in their place. The hero is devoted and faithful, and dotes exclusively on the heroine. One-on-one, happy ending, no angst or landmines.

----------------New novel out now, please add it to your collection----------------

Rumor had it that Princess Yong'an had been lost among the common people since childhood and only returned to the palace after she was twenty-four. Her beauty was peerless, and she was the beloved treasure of the emperor and empress, pursued by countless noblemen and princes.

One day, an edict from the Jiaofang Palace announced that Princess Yong'an had dreamed of entering a star and become pregnant from the dream. The emperor and empress intended to choose a husband for her.

The entire capital was in an uproar, and all her former suitors hurriedly backed away.

As the emperor and empress hesitated, the newly crowned top scholar stepped forward. He declared that he wished to ease their worries and asked to marry the princess.

Under the vivid green-eyed stares of his colleagues, Lu Shizhao's lips curled upward, though the smile never reached his eyes.

Late at night, muffled, broken whimpers suddenly sounded from the Princess's residence.

The top scholar cradled Her Highness's flushed, damp cheeks and murmured aggrievedly,

"Sister-in-law, I willingly accept this bastard as my own."

The princess gritted her teeth. Put the knife down first, then say that.

----My sister-in-law is pregnant, and the child isn't mine

As far back as Lu Shizhao could remember, Niang had been in the Lu household.

After Elder Brother Lu died, she became his widowed sister-in-law.

At first, he had never paid her any attention, even though her skin was as pale as snow, her eyes dark as ink, and her beauty bewitching.

Then he saw this fragile woman slit a man's throat with a knife, and his blood began to boil.

His lingering, possessive gaze grew ever more brazen.

The sister-in-law he had called that for over a decade gradually began to mean something else.

Who didn't know that, back when Lu Shizhao and Princess Yong'an lived among the common people, they were called brother and sister but were actually uncle and sister-in-law?

The ministers privately gossiped, all saying that the newly crowned top scholar was an ungrateful, treacherous wretch.

As soon as he rose to power, he disregarded the kindness Princess Yong'an had shown in raising him and switched sides to support the Crown Prince.

Now he was openly asking to marry her. Surely it was another scheme.

Seven-year age gap, both virgins, happy ending.

A younger, gloomy, clingy brother-in-law x a voluptuous beauty of a sister-in-law. Both the male and female leads are respectable people beneath their facades.
