Blurb
She is a heroine who doesn't believe in marriage. After transmigrating into the imperial palace of a dynasty as a concubine, she starts as a maid selected for the palace. She works hard without complaint, devising plans for her mistress and keeping the emperor comfortable. She has a natural talent for massage and cures every difficult ailment in the palace, even surpassing the imperial physicians. She quietly keeps to herself in the palace, without seeking favor or attention. But the treasure she's hidden away insists on being discovered and recognized. She continues quietly as a low-ranking concubine, hoping to have enough to eat and drink, until she is gradually and reluctantly swept into the palace intrigues. She uses her wits and cunning to climb the ranks, only to discover in the end that she is the neglected second daughter of the Ouyang family, and that her mind contains the memories of the empress's previous life. She was reborn for revenge!

For my next novel, if you like sweet romances with tyrants, add it to your favorites from my profile.
In the Black Sun Dynasty, the tyrant is brutal, and no maid or eunuch in the palace is spared. Yao Yu is forced to fill a eunuch's place. A former slave, she disguises herself as a eunuch and serves the tyrant, careful not to make a mistake. Even so, she can't escape his notice. Zheng Fei is the favored consort in name and truth, showered with all the emperor's affection. In public, she spends romantic evenings with the tyrant, but in private, she suffers untold misery. After serving him, she always emerges covered in bruises. Hua is the most unusual presence in the harem, loved by the tyrant like a shadow at his side. The tyrant truly loves him deeply, but everyone in the harem sees Hua as a seductress and wishes they could pull this thorn from their side. Ministers at court submit memorials every day, demanding the tyrant dismiss Hua. Hua is not a woman, but a man. Meanwhile, Yao Yu serves the tyrant and stumbles upon the secret love between the favored consort and the so-called seductress... She thinks she'll muddle through life like this, until one day she could end up dead at the tyrant's hands at any moment. Then her elder brother, Yao Feng, is reunited with her. It ought to be a joyous occasion, but
"Little sister, kill the tyrant for me and avenge the former crown prince!"
Yao Yu says, "The timing isn't right, big brother. Please be patient."
Yao Feng says, "If you won't do it, and I'm afraid you'll tell the tyrant, then I'd better kill you first!"
Yao Yu is so furious she nearly faints.
She thought Zhuge Xun was her moonlight, but who could have guessed
"Yu'er, since you admire me, why don't you kill my half-brother for me?"
Yao Yu asks, "What are you talking about?"
After looking him over, she says, "Aren't you a military officer?"
Zhuge Xun says, "I'm the former crown prince, Gu Lian. The tyrant took my throne. I can't let him live!"
Yao Yu is speechless.
Zhuge Xun solemnly promises, "When this is done, I'll make you empress!"
Yao Yu finally kills the tyrant, then suddenly disappears and never returns to the palace. Zhuge Xun ascends the throne in a fury and orders, "Bring Yao Yu back to me! If she's alive, I want to see her. If she's dead, I want her body!"
