Jiang Zhenniang spent eight years living as a neglected wife, virtuous and gentle. She never expected to end up hated by her husband's family and despised by her husband.
Her forbearance only led to her husband breaking her brother's leg and his family driving her elderly parents out of the capital in disgrace.
If loyalty and gentleness are useless, then... Jiang Zhenniang gazed at the splendid palace, adjusted her cloak, and looked ahead with the desperate resolve of someone willing to risk everything. It was like a wildfire, ready to burn it all to the ground.
The emperor, who had always been absorbed in affairs of state, has lately been deeply troubled. He often goes to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to reflect before the spirit tablets of his ancestors.
He's become addicted to a woman from outside the palace, but officially, she's his younger brother-in-law's wife.
The woman doesn't know who he is and doesn't covet his status. She's come because of his reputation as a ladies' man, seeking nothing more than a brief fling.
Everyone at court knows he's not interested in women, so he does his best to pretend he's experienced, constantly worrying that his wife will see through his bluster. Then, little by little, he realizes that she's mistaken him for someone else...
She mistook him for someone else?!!!
Heh. She thinks she can run away just because he's not Prince Rong?
Qi Mingxuan gives a cold laugh. Why keep up the act? He simply issues an imperial decree and has her bundled off to the palace. It's just the right time, since his palace is missing an empress!
Reader's guide: The heroine is already married. The hero has a harem. The hero and heroine are not related. The deceased Crown Princess was the younger sister of the heroine's current husband.
This story is full of melodrama. Read with caution if that's not your thing!!!
It's just a mindless, sugary little story about two newbies pretending to be seasoned lovers. Set in a fictional world, with no need to nitpick the history.

Coming soon: Reborn sweet romance, Climbing the Golden Bough. Jiao Jiao, it's not you who has reached above your station. I'm the one who doesn't deserve you.
Shen Jiao Jiao bears the title of princess that her mother won for her with her life, yet lives a wretched, pitiful existence. Even a merchant's daughter dares to lord it over her.
Everyone in Chang'an knows she's merely a fake princess with no royal blood. She has no noble lineage and has even fallen out of favor with the new emperor. After her marriage, she's forbidden to enter the palace again.
Shen Jiao Jiao has spent her whole life afraid of that tyrannical crown prince. She never expects that after she dies under mysterious circumstances, she'll see Xiao Huaijin, the man who once said he hated people who cried, holding her body and weeping.
Before she can even process what she's seeing, she blinks and finds herself back on the day she entered the palace in her previous life.
Shen Jiao Jiao looks at the late emperor seated on the high dais and resolves to change the fate that once forced her mother to be buried with him.
Just as Shen Jiao Jiao is getting ready to help her mother navigate the palace intrigue, her mother becomes the emperor's favorite consort. Shen Jiao Jiao tries to curry favor with the future emperor, and the next thing she knows, she's being carried into the Eastern Palace in a grand bridal sedan!
Even after becoming the empress who reigns supreme in the harem, Shen Jiao Jiao still can't understand. Didn't Xiao Huaijin say he hated her?
A group of noblewomen in the imperial garden sneer at Shen Jiao Jiao's low birth. They tell her to remember her place, stop acting like a princess, and quit trying to lay claim to someone she has no right to desire.
As they speak, the man she supposedly "has no right to desire" walks over in a pale apricot-yellow robe. He bends down before Shen Jiao Jiao and gently wipes the dust from her shoe with a handkerchief.
Xiao Huaijin: Shen Jiao Jiao, so what if you're not a princess? I'll make sure you live more nobly than anyone born to royalty. And it's not you who has reached above your station. I'm the one who doesn't deserve you.
Much later, Shen Jiao Jiao finally understands that the lofty crown prince has loved her across both of their lives.

Reader's guide: Fair-skinned beauty and timid little rabbit vs. proud, sharp-tongued young crown prince. Reborn sweet romance, set in a fictional world, with no need to nitpick the history.
Coming Soon No. 2: I'm Done Being the Heroine of This Torture Romance
Jiang Luoluo transmigrates into a book and becomes the heroine of an old-school, angst-filled romance.
In the book, Jiang Luoluo is devoted to Ji Fei, senior brother of the Lingyan Sect. She goes mad for him, loses her sight for him, takes a blade for him, and endures one disaster after another. At last, she moves Ji Fei and wins his heart. Together they ascend to godhood, and she is honored as the Divine Empress.
Jiang Luoluo touches her waist, then her heart, and feels a faint ache.
The Divine Lord's exclusive love and the honor of becoming Divine Empress: are you envious?
Of course she is. But if she has to trade a kidney and her heart for it, then, sorry, she's out!
Jiang Luoluo makes herself a cup of goji berry tea. She's past the age of crying her heart out over this kind of plot. A quiet life is best. Whoever wants to be the heroine of this torture romance can take the job. She won't!
Later, Ji Fei, a brilliant talent revered by all as an Immortal Venerable, cuts open his own spiritual realm without hesitation. Smiling, he says, "Here, take it. If it's not enough, you can have my divine bones, spiritual marrow, and the blood of my heart. You can have it all. Why?" Ji Fei wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth, his smile dazzling. "Because I love you."
Jiang Luoluo: "..."
Why is the plot going wrong?
Wasn't Ji Fei supposed to be cold and loveless, thawed only by the heroine's devotion? She hasn't even started warming him up, so how has he already melted?
Reader's guide: 1. The male lead is not a traditional righteous hero. Sweet, angsty, melodramatic romance. The male lead will not change.
2. The author has never practiced cultivation. The whole system is made up, so don't take this fictional setting too seriously.
3. More to be added if anything comes to mind.

The first part is very well written, but what happens next feels like it is being filled in in a hurry. It is too hasty. Originally, the climax was from the entanglement and confusion after seeing through the vest to the frank and sincere exchange of promises... King Rong and the emperor were not handled well. What I really cared about was not the shadow of the benefactor but the real him. This concept was not written well. By the time I was in the later stage, even if I still cared about King Rong, my feelings for the emperor were already deep and unspeakable, and I would never handle it in such a blunt manner. The heroine's misunderstanding of the emperor, such as his relationship with the former crown princess, is not clearly explained. The love between the male and female protagonists is so delicate in the first part, and it is so different from the second part. The emotional development in the second part is basically completed by the male protagonist in one go. Originally, I would really recommend this book, sad
Yeah, I hope I can update on time every day
I suddenly had an idea: I am probably still a student, and I am catching up on my homework, so...
No updates again. The author updates from time to time. Missing for several days. I'm really worried that one day he will give up writing.
The extra chapter is the finale, and the last chapter is too early. But it seems that the male protagonist didn't explain the matter of the Crown Princess. Might the female protagonist still have some knots? After all, she was so concerned about it before... It's a pity that this foreshadowing was not taken back.
It's so miserable. The queen mother loves Prince Rong, the concubine also loves him, the late emperor also loves him, and his sweetheart also loves him, but no one loves the emperor himself5555
!!!! Fairy dress with wide sleeves!!!
Finished reading, so sweet! It would be nice if there was more interaction between Mingxuan and Zhenniang. I wrote a lot about the Qin Mansion. It was a waste of pen and ink. I just love to see the interaction between the male and female protagonists.
Why is it that Chapter 60 and beyond are all the previous ones?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
