[Blurb]

After transmigrating into a book, Su Yue becomes a cannon-fodder palace maid who slandered the book's villainous male lead. She thinks she's as good as dead, but the System brings her back to life, and she receives an incredible blessing: becoming the Crown Prince's sole attendant maid.

She thinks simply staying alive by the villainous male lead's side will be hard enough, but the System threatens her with electric shocks unless she makes things difficult for the Crown Prince.

From then on, she lives a miserable life of oppression, electric shocks, and assassination attempts.

Dear user, please bring a cup of salt water to His Highness the Crown Prince. Or you can have an electric shock gift pack: 10v, 200v, 2000v... Time to put your character to the test!

Su Yue diligently goes about doing bad deeds, only to find that every time she tries, things work out for the best. She's practically become the Crown Prince's lucky charm!

One day, Su Yue realizes the way the scheming male lead looks at her is getting stranger and stranger. She secretly wonders if she's offended him again.

Li Changyin has suffered from a serious illness since childhood and cannot walk properly. Even with all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, some people claim he won't live past twenty-five. Every year, a whole crowd of people use his frail health as an excuse to call for his removal as heir. Even a little palace maid dares to gossip in front of him. But the girl seems to have quite a lot of luck, so he keeps her by his side to see what kind of trouble she can cause.

He asks her to mop a floor, and she nearly floods his palace. Fine, he'll deduct the cost from her wages. If she can't pay it off in this life, she'll pay it back in the next.

She tries to "poison" him, but accidentally cures his chronic insomnia!

At some point, Li Changyin finds himself wanting to make this little girl, who always turns her blunders into successes, his and his alone!

[Blurb for the new novel]

After being reborn, Luo Jishu, a powerful grand princess who once held sway over the court, becomes Jiang Shu, the foolish young lady of the Duke's mansion. She only wants to live quietly as a little fool, but she can't escape her fiance, who loves to bully her.

"Be a good girl, Shu'er. This is brown sugar. It's delicious!" One day, Huo Shaoyin points at a plate of chili powder and says this to Jiang Shu, who is pretending to be silly.

He never expects the plate of "brown sugar" to end up in General Huo's mouth.

"Grandpa Huo, Brother Yin gave me this brown sugar, and it's so delicious. You have to try it."

Huo Shaoyin, the capital's notorious playboy, has enjoyed bullying Jiang Shu since childhood. This time, though, things go wrong. He gets the first beating of his life and is sent back to the frontier.

During his five years at the frontier, Huo Shaoyin has only one wish: once he marries her, he'll bully her twice as much!

Later, when he sees Jiang Shu again, he has just one thought: Forget bullying her. He'd better marry her right away and hide her at home, before all those old men get any ideas about her.

On their wedding night, Jiang Shu holds a plate of chili powder and grins at Huo Shaoyin. "Dear husband~" Before she can say another word, Huo Shaoyin feels his scalp tingle. This woman is a temptress. Two words are all it takes for him to lose control.

Bonus scene:

One day, the rebels try to use Jiang Shu to force Huo Shaoyin to surrender. The elegant and peerless General Huo becomes a demon on the battlefield. He points his sword at them and says, "Lay a finger on her, and you'll pay with your life!"

"Shu'er, are you afraid of me?" Huo Shaoyin asks Jiang Shu, his voice trembling for the first time, his whole body drenched in blood.

"I'm not afraid, husband," Jiang Shu says again and again in his arms.

[Follow my ongoing novel, "The Graceful Empress Dowager"]

The old emperor dies after taking drugs in his palace, while princes from across the realm scramble for the throne. Rong Xi just wants to pack her things and run, but the new emperor stops her at the palace gates. One word, "Mother," puts her in the most exalted position in the land.

Rumor has it that when the new emperor first took the throne, the former emperor's consorts were either killed or sent to nunneries. To save her own life, Rong Xi is forced to play the part of a loving mother, bringing the new emperor warmth every day. But he pins her to the bed and says, "I think you're trying to seduce me, Mother."

Rong Xi thinks it over carefully. She isn't.

At first, to Wei Jingshuo, Rong Xi is just a woman from the former imperial harem. He needs her, but anyone could take her place.

Later, she brings him ginseng soup every day, disrupting his thoughts and stealing the heart he thought would never stir again. Then she disappears.

He searches the whole world and finally finds her. But the once-adorable young woman now has nothing but the weight of years in her eyes. Dressed in red, she stands at the edge of a cliff and smiles at him. "Your Majesty, if you love me deeply, you should use a love gu. Are you willing to plant one deep within yourself for me?"

Rumor has it that the new emperor brought a woman back from the common folk.

Rumor has it that the woman looks very much like the former empress dowager.

Rumor has it that the new emperor once purged the harem in blood for that woman.

Amid the endless rumors, Rong Xi turns to look at the irreverent Wei Jingshuo and says with dissatisfaction, "Why do the rumors make me sound no different from the legendary seductress?"

"My reputation's even worse!" Wei Jingshuo says, shaking his head. What on earth went wrong...

P.S. The story starts with a stepmother-and-stepson dynamic. The heroine's identity will change later.
