Xie Zhaozhao is terminally ill, yet everyone in the Wei Kingdom envies her.
A celebrated general kneels to straighten her skirt. A gifted Poet Sage writes her exquisite love poems. The elegant Crown Prince even plays Phoenix Seeks Its Mate to ask for her hand in marriage.
But only Xie Zhaozhao knows that she was born into the world of a tragic romance novel about a husband seeking his wife back. The men love her equally sickly cousin, and Xie Zhaozhao is merely the medicinal ingredient needed to cure her.
Once she marries into the Eastern Palace, they will cut her flesh and drain her blood, subjecting her to inhuman abuse day after day until she dies. Only then will everyone come to their senses and regret what they did.
Xie Zhaozhao lost all five senses six months ago and can no longer feel pain. So she decides to throw caution to the wind and marry the Crown Prince.
Who knew that each time she gets hurt, she feels more energetic? After three or five injuries, her head stops spinning, her ears stop ringing, and she even walks with a spring in her step.
Xie Zhaozhao: I think I might still be able to save myself.

The young, violent emperor suddenly comes down with a strange illness. At times, his arm hurts as if sliced by a knife; at others, his neck burns as if set on fire, or his lower abdomen turns cold and aches with swelling.
The illness has no pattern, and the unbearable pain strikes without warning. It is just like witchcraft.
The emperor gives an expressionless order: "If I find the culprit, I will have them cut to pieces."
For a time, everyone at court and in the imperial harem lives in fear. Even the Crown Prince, the only one allowed near the emperor, treads on thin ice.
To show her filial devotion, the Crown Princess enters the palace to care for the emperor.
But after only two days, Xie Zhaozhao can no longer stand it and follows her into the palace.
She hands the Crown Prince a dagger, her expression sincere. "Use a little force. I can take it."
That night, the emperor suffers such agony that he cannot sleep.
Then one day, Xie Zhaozhao mistakes someone for another person after dark.
The emperor examines the crisscrossing wounds on her arm, idly turning over the dagger she handed him. His gaze turns sinister and murderous. "So it was you..."
*
Later, the emperor, who never showed interest in women, suddenly names an empress.
He dotes on her so much that everyone envies her. He takes her wherever he goes, even keeping her by his side during court sessions.
The beaded curtain sways. The Crown Prince recognizes at a glance that this empress is his missing Crown Princess.
Her cheeks are rosy, and her fingertips twirl the emperor's sleeve:
"Your Majesty, may I have some of the thousand-year-old red ginseng that just arrived as tribute to improve my health?"
"Your Majesty, may I borrow that heirloom warm jade to warm my hands and feet?"
"Your Majesty, that black fox-fur coat of yours looks so cozy..."
Emperor: "Enough. You can have it all!"

Blurb:
Xiao Langlang is the heroine of an explicit novel.
Born into a prestigious family, rich and beautiful, she joins the Penglai Immortal Sect. The first half of her life goes smoothly, and she plans to spend the rest of it as a happy slacker.
Until her coming-of-age ceremony, when a woman arrives with a token and claims Xiao Langlang is a fake heiress who was switched at birth.
Once the truth is confirmed, Xiao Langlang is cast out of her home. Without her family's protection, everyone's gaze toward her changes.
Her immaculate master teaches her swordsmanship while holding her palm and gently sniffing her hair.
Her elegant senior brother comforts her, his Adam's apple bobbing as his fingers secretly creep to the small of her back.
Her haughty, aristocratic junior brother goes even further, tricking her into swallowing a love curse and greedily leaning toward her lips. "Senior Sister, this curse is incredibly powerful. The only way to stay alive is to cultivate together for ten days."
Worst of all, Xiao Langlang awakens a one-pregnancy-eight-babies golden finger at this point. As long as she gets intimate with someone, she will keep getting pregnant.
Xiao Langlang: ...This is ridiculous.
-
Xiao Langlang knocks her junior brother unconscious with one sword strike. As her consciousness drifts, she accidentally wanders into the abyss forbidden ground where the Demon Lord is sealed.
The Demon Lord is the most powerful villain in the book. He is cold and desireless, ruthless and bloodthirsty, and he once plunged the Six Realms into chaos, wiping out several immortal sects in a single night.
Later, the Demon Lord is pierced through the bones by the Heavenly Dao's chains. His spiritual power is sealed, and he falls into a deep sleep here.
Unable to withstand the love curse, Xiao Langlang reaches her demonic claws toward the sleeping Demon Lord to save her own life.
After ten days of reckless passion, she finally purges the curse from her body. Before the Demon Lord can wake, she lifts her skirts and runs.
Xiao Langlang counts the days on her fingers, trembling as she waits for her belly to grow.
Who would have thought that instead of getting pregnant, she would hear that the Demon Lord has broken his seal and returned to the world?
They say the Demon Lord has gone mad with love, bathing the Six Realms in blood as he searches for one woman.
-
Xiao Langlang flees in the dead of night, only to run into the Demon Lord outside the sect, carrying a fifty-meter broadsword.
Their eyes meet, and Xiao Langlang understands the murderous intent surging in his gaze.
She tries to stay calm. "I'm pregnant. It's your baby. The child can't grow up without its mother."
The Demon Lord clutches his lower back and retches, his eyes bloodshot. "You're stealing my line?"
Xiao Langlang looks at his slightly rounded belly: ???
Wait, dude, is this actually a thing?
Theme: Life is full of suffering, but only you can save yourself
So angry, so angry!!! I was so angry that I wanted to die in the middle of the night. The character creation was good, but the plot became more and more ridiculous as it went on. It was obvious that there was a dark flower in the village, but the author arranged the poisoning, and it was illogical.
I clicked, the pace has finally picked up. I feel that the author's writing speed is very unstable. Some unfortunate things always tend to drag on for a long time and draw a lot of descriptions, so I don't like to read it. It is advertised as a sweet text. In fact, there is not much sweet space in the text. My memories of reading this book mostly bring me pain? 😭 😭 😭 Isn't this a scam? I hate you.
Later, the drug is administered, the trap is set up, and the throne is given to the emperor. These chapters of Dan are so strange that I can't get up and down in one breath. It's better not to read. Is there any continuation in the future? The happy daily life of pregnancy and childbirth.
I really watched it without skipping a beat... So exciting! It's rare to come across a novel that I love both the male and female protagonists. [Purple Sugar]kswl
Completely finished spreading the flowers~ From more than 30 chapters to now, the setting of the article really poked me hahh, although the later plot may be a bit rushed (I want to see more of Zhao Zhao and Xie Qu's sweet love woo woo), but I think the flaws are not covered up, and I look forward to the teacher's new work 😚😳
This chapter has a good pace, Modo Modo
I hope there will be a side story where the male protagonist doesn't take drugs 😭 Don't let him take it? He's addicted. I really can't accept it.
Ah, the finale is a bit weird. JD has an education in his heart and can't accept the male protagonist XD
[Orange Candy] It's super invincible and pretty
I finished chasing it. I thought it was a fun story at first, but I almost saw the finale. It turned out not to be fun at all [covering face, laughing and crying], but it's still very interesting.
