[Pre-order] Beauty's Tongue (historical romance), blurb below
The blurb for this story:
Jiang Yaoyue, firmly established as empress, woke from a dream and suddenly saw the truth.
In the dream, she died young after perfectly completing her duties as a virtuous empress, in keeping with her self-image and plans. Her own children knelt by her bed as she died, while her beloved consorts and concubines wept in unison. She had been quite satisfied with herself.
After her initial emotion faded, Jiang Yaoyue suddenly found it all tedious. Having seen the ending in advance had taken away her motivation.
Consort Shu of Zhongcui Palace was gentle and attentive, and had won the emperor's favor only days after entering the palace.
The Noble Consort of Jingren Palace had been at the emperor's side since childhood. She was on good terms with everyone and had earned his deep trust.
Then there were all sorts of beautiful consorts and concubines, each making a grand entrance and ready to act...
Jiang Yaoyue rubbed her still-flat belly and thought, Men are all dogs. She would rather live a little longer.
The next day, while out for a stroll, she saw the Noble Consort enjoying such a glorious life. She wanted to experience that, too.
Jiang Yaoyue fell into deep thought. What was a femme fatale who brought down a kingdom really like?
And so, on a whim, Jiang Yaoyue decided that being a virtuous empress was far too boring. She was determined to reinvent herself as a femme fatale who would bring ruin to the kingdom!
Jiang Yaoyue: “Give His Majesty a message from me. I want to become a wicked empress.”
Yu Rongbi: “...There's really no need to go that far, Jiao Jiao.”
Come on, let's have some fun!

[Pre-order] Beauty's Tongue (historical romance)
Ruan Rouyan was sold into a pleasure house as a child. Born with a bewitching allure, eyes as tender as spring water, and a waist like a willow in the breeze, she had one secret she didn't want anyone to know: she was born with an extraordinarily sensitive sense of taste.
Prince Su, Xiao Yuan, was born to wealth and privilege, arrogant and overbearing. Rumor had it that in a moment of recklessness, he had made advances toward his father's future favorite consort and accidentally been poisoned by a love curse. He was supposedly bedridden, with a crooked eye and mouth. So Ruan Rouyan was carried into Prince Su's residence in a small sedan chair as a concubine. The prince's cherished first love watched through tears, her tea-scented bitterness filling the air as she insisted on making room for Ruan Rouyan.
Ruan Rouyan was terrified, nearly weeping like a flower in the rain. But that night, she was astonished by Xiao Yuan's handsome face. The rumors really couldn't be trusted.
A few months later, the prince's cherished first love forced Ruan Rouyan to drink poison, killing both her and the child she carried.
When Ruan Rouyan opened her eyes, she found herself reborn on her second day in Prince Su's residence.
Xiao Yuan lay beside her, pale-faced and with his eyes shut. Her heart was still as water, and she was so grief-stricken she couldn't even cry.
Ruan Rouyan: I'm leaving.
Without hesitation, Ruan Rouyan ran away and became the pretty widow at the village entrance.
Thanks to her tongue, which could taste anything with uncanny accuracy, men and women alike fell for the food she made. Before long, Ruan Rouyan was famous throughout the area.
By the time Xiao Yuan found her, eligible men were coming and going at her side without end.
Ruan Rouyan gave Xiao Yuan a little wiggle of her waist, pulled up her son, who was playing in the mud beside her, and declared with a resolute expression, “Your Highness, I've remarried. The child isn't yours.”
Xiao Yuan took a step forward and raised his long brows, but what he said was, “I don't have much time left.”
One-on-one romance. Both leads are reborn.
Theme: Strive to live well, find your true self, and ultimately achieve success and family harmony.
It's over. These knives in the extra chapter make me unable to stand the candy that will follow. The extra chapter is really about my feelings for the queen and the general. They clearly meant each other and remembered the promise they made when they were young, but they could only miss it. They didn't even know that the other party was always thinking about me. The queen's rebirth was begged by the general. He was the one who understood the queen best, and the things he gave her were more to his liking than the emperor's. Even in times of crisis in this life, the general was with her. If the queen had completed her previous life's dream and knew the fate of her child, I think no matter how good the emperor is to her in this life, she would never be sincere and she should just try hard to become the queen mother. I don't think I have any kindness towards Concubine He or Concubine Shu. Compared with the queen's rebirth, it was more like fulfilling the emperor's wish. He simply won two lives. Such a cold-hearted man had many wives and concubines in his first life, but in his second life, he had a heroine who truly loved him and believed in her. Why should such a male protagonist have a female protagonist reborn to accompany him? He should be alone all his life!
The author could actually consider writing an extra story about the heroine's second son succeeding to the throne in the past life. The previous life was too frustrating. Shouldn't Concubine Shu and the Shi family be punished?
If it's a knife, just cut it all at once. I feel like the candy in the text is really not as good as the knife in the previous life. The empress should be reborn with the young general. I feel that this should be her regret. She probably didn't like the emperor at all in her previous life.
The little general is so miserable. I really wish that Miss Jiang would be with him in another life. Otherwise, the emperor would be too comfortable. He was such a bitch in the first life, but he is still the winner in the second life.
The little prince who is still acting coquettishly at ten years old
I'm here to check out my full label. The extras from my past life are so cruel. . . I feel sorry for the queen's three children. I still hope the author will add a story about the past life where Concubine Shu and her family are the final boss. The emperor killed Concubine Shu's son and came to power? How could a bad guy have such a good ending? Doesn't the author consider adding another extra chapter? And has the queen's second son died? If he is not dead, can you write that he fought back from the border? Or Concubine Shu's son has perished. I really don't want the villain who harmed the heroine and her children to have a happy ending!
The dog emperor is not worthy of Jiaojiao!!!
So the queen was reborn and was still with the emperor. Oh, what did General Yan do wrong?
Can you really not wait for the parallel story between the Queen and the General?
Wuwuwu, this emperor is such a bitch. I feel sorry for General Yan. Wuwuwu.
