The Uncle's Pampered Darling

A little note: Coming soon, "The Mermaid's Lazy Days." Please add it to your collection, mwah mwah! Blurb: The old emperor is obsessed with alchemy and cultivating immortality, and requires beautiful women from all over the realm to offer their tears. His adopted daughter, Shuang Shi, is sent into the palace by the Li family. She doesn't cry prettily enough, so she's beaten to death. What she doesn't know is that the uncle who always looks at her coldly and thinks she's delicate and cries too much will don the armor of a General Who Guards the Nation, storm the palace, and kill the emperor, becoming a tyrant feared by all. Yet he often sits in the bedroom she once lived in for an entire day, whispering countless tender words to her. After being reborn, Shuang Shi is sent into the palace again. This time, she sabotages the old emperor's alchemy furnace in secret. She overdoes her supernatural act and scares the old emperor to death. Feng Yue storms the palace with a blade in hand, and Shuang Shi is so frightened she cries like a rain-soaked flower. "Uncle, please hear me out. I didn't do it." Feng Yue can't help raising a hand to wipe away her tears. Frowning coldly, he says, "It's just an emperor dying. Is that really worth crying over?" ** Later, after Feng Yue becomes emperor: "Anyone who makes the empress cry will pay with their life." In the middle of the night, Shuang Shi tries to wrap herself tightly in the quilt, her eyes glistening with charming tears. "Y-you, you should go kill yourself!" ** Coming soon: "The Mermaid's Lazy Days." Visit the author's collection to add it! Huan Yue, a human, transmigrates into a book as its tragic heroine: a mermaid who dies for love. On her first day after transmigrating, she faces a fishy dilemma: return to the sea and avoid every human in the story, or stay on land and live a different kind of fish life. Huan Yue sits on the beach and sighs for the hundred and third time. In the end, she decides to make it her goal to become a lazy fish king. ...Well, she can't swim and gets seasick. The male lead's pursuit grows ever more intense, and Huan Yue grows increasingly timid as she flees for her life. So one dark, moonless night, she sneaks into Prince Teng's manor. Clutching Prince Teng, Huan Yue cries pitifully, dropping bright pearls all over the floor. "Your Highness, please keep this fish!" Later, Huan Yue achieves her dream and is pampered until she's plump and rosy. The curtains close on all sides, and the red candles flicker. Prince Teng, satisfied, licks his lips. "I raise a fish for a thousand days, then eat fish for the rest of my life. What a bargain!" ** Reading Guide: 1.
