The Enchanting Empress

(A silly, lighthearted story~) Mu Wenyan was born with a delicate, rosy beauty. As she grew up, she became even more alluring and seductive. She entered the palace at fourteen as Empress, and the Emperor doted on her. Rumors about the wicked Empress soon spread far and wide. But... It was all an illusion. One day, Mu Wenyan slipped and bumped her head. When she woke up, she had the mind of a three-and-a-half-year-old child. And so the harem's atmosphere changed to this: The Empress clutched the Emperor's robes pitifully. "Waaah, Consort Shu won't let me eat osmanthus cakes. She's mean!" The Empress used to be calm and composed. She appeared tolerant toward the other consorts and treated the Emperor with mutual respect. Now the Empress was sweet and clingy, holding on to the Emperor every night. "Your Majesty, don't go. I'm scared, waaah..." Not long after, the Empress regained her senses and found herself riding on the Emperor's back like a horse. She shuddered, and to save her life, had no choice but to keep up the act. One night, the Emperor was cuddling his little Empress while reading an erotic romance. At last, he couldn't hold back. He gazed at her with a distant look and said, "My Empress, can you stop pretending?" [Things to know before reading] 1. The male lead is scheming and calculating. 2. Both leads are virgins. 3.

Next novel: Beauty Is a Long-Term Strategy Wen Shuyi was born with the knack for attracting wolves. Her various cousins all had their eyes on her, and her family despised her, treating her as a femme fatale. Once, she hit her head and, while unconscious, dreamed of the scene of her own death. It was truly tragic and pitiful. Wen Shuyi doesn't want to die, so she sets her sights on the Emperor, a man who wields ruthless power and murdered his father to seize the throne. * One day, after a thunderstorm, the Emperor stood beneath a pavilion in the Duke of Rong's residence, admiring the lotuses. Suddenly, a woman surfaced from the water. Her delicate, pale hand grabbed the corner of his robe. Her lips trembled as she stammered, "I-I want to enter the palace!" The Emperor looked down at her. Though his face was young, it seemed to conceal the calculations of someone who had seen the ways of the world. After a long pause, he rasped out one word: "Fine." It wasn't long before rumors spread through the capital that a vixen had bewitched the calamity-star Emperor. Wen Shuyi was only an Eighth-Rank Beauty, but no one could dislodge her. A year later, rumors claimed the Emperor had been bewitched by a fox spirit. Wen Shuyi, now a Fourth-Rank Lady Shu, still sat securely by his side. Not long after, the new Empress gave birth to the Crown Prince and was favored above all the women in the six palaces. No one dared mention the femme-fatale rumors again. * Wen Shuyi has a secret. Ever since she woke up from her coma, she has been able to see everyone's "colors." For example, loyalty is blue, attraction is pink, and fury is fiery red... With her special ability, Wen Shuyi weaponizes her beauty and tears through the palace intrigues, leaving everyone else in the dust. And when the Emperor first saw her, pink bubbles were already floating around him... Once, drunk, Wen Shuyi complained, "Hmph, Your Majesty is just like every other man. The first time you saw me, you only liked my looks." The Emperor's gaze was unreadable, and he chuckled. "Nonsense. I was only paying attention to what was inside." His fingertip lightly tugged at the sash around the Empress's waist... [A stunning beauty with an outrageously powerful golden finger] VS [A truly scheming Emperor] Screenshot dated 2020-6-18.
