Next novel: My Empress Wants to Usurp the Throne by Yan Yanhua

One-line summary: A tool-empress's comeback vs. the secret history of a transmigrated male empress consort

Also known as The Tool Empress's Comeback

Blurb: The cold-faced, domineering tycoon Sha Bai Tian transmigrates into a book and becomes the male empress consort of Dayu, a minor cannon-fodder kingdom.

In the original, the male empress consort must rely on the empress's "favor" to survive, and is hacked to death when the kingdom falls. His fate is utterly miserable.

Rely on the empress's favor?

Be hacked to death when the kingdom falls?

Rule number one of business: If someone wants to kill me, I'll kill them first!

Sha Bai Tian presses his lips together. Since the author didn't write the story well, he'll just have to make a few changes himself.

Feng Yunshu, empress of Dayu, is incompetent, foolish, arrogant, and willful. After being struck by lightning, she gets even worse. In response,

The treacherous officials rejoice: Heaven will destroy Dayu and bless our new dynasty!

The enemy kingdom celebrates: Heaven will destroy Dayu, and our empire will rise!

Feng Yunshu smiles coldly: If everyone wants to play, then let's play.

Then, amid a chorus of predictions of doom, Dayu's fate runs wild like a horse that has broken free. Not only does the kingdom survive, it becomes... the greatest victor in the land.

Everyone can hardly believe it: Weren't they supposed to lose the kingdom?

Faced with their confusion, Sha Bai Tian sneers: What a bunch of fools, blind to what's right in front of them!

The real empress is ill-tempered and scheming, unifies the world with an iron fist, and takes revenge by bringing down anyone who crosses her.

But he loves her just the way she is.

I have to say, woman, you've successfully caught my attention!

CP: An ill-tempered, mind-reading empress vs. a cold, calculating, domineering tycoon as her male consort

This novel's blurb:

Wang Xifeng thinks she's born unlucky. She was unlucky enough in her last life to die, and in this life she was unlucky from the moment she was born. She went hungry and cold, and was foolish for seventeen years. When she finally managed to marry a man, he got into trouble. Then, once the times changed, some little vixen came along to steal her man.

What is all this?

But... perhaps she isn't quite so unlucky after all. Somehow, the money in her bank account has surpassed the entire fortune of the Rongguo Mansion, making all those people who once looked down on her green with envy.

The spirit-spring space quietly accumulates blessings for her. It not only wipes away the karmic burden of her past life, but also builds up golden merit that benefits future generations. Her twins, a boy and a girl, are astonishingly precocious, clever, and full of tricks.

As for the man who attracts those little vixens... he's a good one, too. He actually saves himself for her.

But the man with his arms around her waist isn't happy. Am I only just a good man to you?

After being tormented all night, Wang Xifeng immediately caves. No, no, my husband has to be the best.

The man bites her ear and chuckles. That's more like it...

Theme: Strive to improve yourself and be a good person.
