The Slender Horse Empress

Gu Jiaomei is just as her name suggests: bewitchingly beautiful, with a willowy figure. She is a slender horse carefully raised by Madam Zhao with gold, silver, and jade, originally intended to be sent as a concubine to Yang Jinfei, a local salt merchant.

On the night before she was to be sent away, Gu Jiaomei had a dream and learned that she was in a story about a sheltered young woman indulging her selfish desires. In the story, she was little more than a tool. At the Yang residence, she abused her beauty to get her way, drove a wedge between the father and son of the Yang family, and, consumed by jealousy, did every wicked thing imaginable. Within a few years, she met a tragic end, losing her head and her body.

So Gu Jiaomei, who had always meekly accepted her lot, decided she had had enough. She absolutely could not go to the Yang residence!

To escape the fate she had seen in her dream, Gu Jiaomei set her sights on climbing higher. She set out to seduce the guest of honor at the Yang residence, Prince Yan, Chu Li, who would ascend the throne and become the new emperor four years later. And in the end, it seemed to work.

Gu Jiaomei managed to leave Yangzhou, but Chu Li, who had rescued her on a moment's kindness, did not take her with him.

Two years later, Gu Jiaomei had transformed into the favored concubine of Chancellor Li Weiran.

This time, the sight of her bewitching figure at a banquet ensnared Chu Li's heart. Just to hear her call him "Brother Li," Chu Li began plotting to steal his minister's concubine.

When her dance ended, Gu Jiaomei saw Chu Li looking dazed and smiled with satisfaction.

What fun was there in being Brother Weiran's concubine? If she was going to be anyone's concubine, it had to be the future emperor's!

A scheming beauty who is delicate, soft, and skilled at putting on an act vs. a powerful, calculating nobleman who seems upright and refined on the surface

PS: 1. The heroine is not kindhearted and is very good at putting on an act. She uses Chu Li and Li Weiran far more than she genuinely cares for them.

2. The male lead is Chu Li. Later on, he will have to suffer through a long, arduous pursuit to win her back. He may be a bit of a jerk, but he is the only male lead, and he is a virgin.

3. The setting is an alternate Ming Dynasty, with clothing, official systems, and culture broadly following those of the Ming Dynasty.

Novel Blurb

Blurb One:

The great hall of the Buddha, solemn and majestic.

Yu Kong sat cross-legged in midair before a golden statue of himself, with a beautiful demoness, soft as boneless silk, leaning against him.

"Didn't you want to tempt me? As you wish." Boundless affection filled the handsome monk's refined face.

The demoness rolled her eyes weakly, as if to say: I only wanted to settle a bet. I wasn't looking to get emotionally involved.

Blurb Two:

Beneath the bodhi tree, Shuang Qi listened to the Buddha's teachings, sipped plum wine, and gazed at her husband, perfect in every way, as she intently recalled how she had once tried to seduce Kashyapa

The most foolish thing she had ever done was let an old man trick her into descending to the mortal realm.

The most impressive thing she had ever done was defile the Past Buddha, whom no one else dared defile.

The most shameful thing she had ever done was get emotionally involved while defiling him.
