Shen Jiaojiao bore the title of princess that her mother had won for her with her life, yet lived in misery and humiliation. Even the daughter of a merchant dared to climb over her and throw her weight around.
Everyone in Chang'an knew she was a fake princess with no royal blood. Not only did she lack noble lineage, she had also displeased the new emperor. After she married, she was forbidden from entering the palace again.
Shen Jiaojiao had spent her whole life afraid of that tyrannical crown prince. She never expected that after she died for no clear reason, she would see Xiao Huaijin, who had once said he hated people crying, holding her corpse and weeping bitterly.
Before she could even react, she blinked and found herself back on the day she had first entered the palace in her previous life.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the late emperor seated on the high dais and resolved to change her mother's fate of being forced to die alongside the emperor.
Shen Jiaojiao had just started planning how to help her mother navigate the palace intrigues when her mother became the emperor's favorite consort. She had only just begun currying favor with the future emperor when she was carried into the Eastern Palace in a bridal sedan chair by eight bearers!
Even after becoming the empress, the sole favorite in the imperial harem, Shen Jiaojiao still couldn't understand: hadn't Xiao Huaijin said he hated her?
A group of noble young ladies in the imperial garden mocked Shen Jiaojiao for her low birth, telling her to remember her place, stop acting like a princess, and stop coveting someone who was beyond her reach.
As they spoke, the person who was "beyond her reach" approached Shen Jiaojiao in a pale apricot-yellow robe. He bent down and gently wiped the dust from her shoe with a handkerchief.
Xiao Huaijin: Shen Jiaojiao, so what if you're not a princess? I'll make sure you live with greater honors than the most noble of noblewomen! And it's not you who has married above your station. I'm the one who has married above mine.

It was only much later that Shen Jiaojiao understood that the lofty crown prince had loved her in both of their lives.

Next story: I Won't Be the Heroine of This Angsty Romance
Jiang Luoluo transmigrated into a book, becoming the heroine of an old-fashioned tragic romance.
In the book, Jiang Luoluo was devoted to Ji Fei, the senior brother of the Lingyan Sect. She went mad for him, lost her sight for him, and took a blade for him. After enduring seven disasters and eight calamities, she finally moved Ji Fei and won his sincere love. They ascended to godhood together, and she was honored as the Divine Empress.
Jiang Luoluo touched her waist, then her heart, and felt a dull ache.
The Divine Lord's exclusive favor and the Divine Empress's honor: were they enviable?
Of course. But if she had to trade a stab to the kidney and a stab to the heart for them, sorry, she was out!
Jiang Luoluo made herself a cup of goji berry tea. She was past the age of crying her heart out over this kind of plot. A peaceful life was the real thing. Whoever wanted to be the heroine of this tragic romance could have the job. She certainly wasn't taking it!
Later, Ji Fei, a peerless genius revered by the world as an Immortal Venerable, calmly cut open his own spiritual domain with his sword and smiled. "Here, take it. If that's not enough, you can have my divine bones, spiritual marrow, and heart's blood too. Take it all. Why?" Ji Fei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his smile dazzling. "Because I love you."
Jiang Luoluo: "..."
Why was the plot going wrong?
Didn't the book say Ji Fei was without love or feeling, and that the heroine's devotion would warm his heart? She hadn't even started warming him up. How had Ji Fei already melted?
Reader's guide: 1. The male lead is not a traditional righteous hero. A sweet, angsty, melodramatic romance. The male lead will not be changed.
2. The author has never cultivated immortality. This is an imaginary setting, so don't take it too seriously.
3. More to be added when I think of it.
Second upcoming story: After Transmigrating into a Body with Perfect Household-Intrigue Skills
Xi Xirui, who had never survived more than five minutes in a household-intrigue game, transmigrated
Her husband from a prestigious family had a beloved cousin, her beautiful personal maid had ulterior motives, and the kindly old matriarch was deeply scheming... But Xi Xirui soon realized none of that was a problem. Her body's original owner, a master of household intrigue, had already arranged everything to perfection.
The only thing she needed to worry about now was picking a husband she liked from the candidates the original owner had prepared.
Who should she choose for her second marriage? That really was a question.
++
Later, Xi Xirui looked at the tall, graceful man beside her, biting her little handkerchief in consternation. After all that choosing, had she apparently picked the one who was hardest to provoke?

I thought I would feel better after being reborn, but in the end I couldn't comfort myself and started to abuse again after one chapter.
It's been a week and I haven't asked for leave. I'm so miserable that I always fall into the trap.
The male protagonist only knows how to regret it after he really loses it, and deserves two lifetimes.
The emperor doesn't love the prince that much. Doesn't he know the ambition of Zhennan Palace? Shouldn't we immediately suspect the truth? The article is still very interesting
There has been no update for two months. I'm numb. I hope I won't update next time.
Is this fast forward?! Not even a wedding?
Everyone except Concubine Xian agreed, so there won't be any changes, right? (I finally waited for the update! Happy! It would be great if I could keep updating.)
Hope to see the follow-up!!
Very well written! Come on!
He was cute as a child too!
