Blurb One:

A beauty-obsessed, scheming real cousin x a cold and purehearted fake cousin

The second young lady of the Marquis of Xuanping's household, Meng Er, has a little secret: she wants to keep a few handsome young men, then lounge on her couch, listening to music and drinking fragrant tea.

But Meng Er has extremely high standards, and no matter how many she searches for, she can't find anyone she likes.

Then a new young cousin arrives at the Marquis of Xuanping's residence. He is handsome as jade and bright as the moon, yet carries himself with cool, otherworldly elegance.

Most importantly, he is a down-on-his-luck scholar.

Meng Er snapped her fan shut. He's the one!

To get this young cousin's attention, Meng Er made things difficult for him at every turn.

One day, she called him into her room and smiled. “Since you're in such dire straits, why not recommend yourself to me and become one of my admirers?”

But the young cousin didn't even spare her a glance.

Meng Er cursed under her breath. “You bastard!”

Eventually, after trying every trick in the book, Meng Er finally made him one of her admirers.

Later, Meng Er grew bored. She secretly brought several handsome young men into her boudoir behind his back, but he caught her in the act. He shed his cold facade, baring the fangs hidden in the darkness. “If you look at another man one more time, I'll gouge out your eyes. If you take one step away from me, I'll cripple your legs. For the rest of your life, you'll belong to me alone!”

Blurb Two:

Although Meng Er, the second young lady of the Marquis of Xuanping's household, is as lovely as a peach blossom and graceful as a willow, she has a strange temper. At eighteen, she is still unmarried, and all of the capital is laughing at her.

Unexpectedly, an imperial edict arrives from the palace, announcing that the newly enthroned emperor, who has just succeeded in his rebellion, intends to make Meng Er his empress.

Rumors in the streets say the new emperor is ruthless, cold-blooded, and vicious, and that he is ugly as well. They say Meng Er will probably be sent to the Cold Palace soon after she enters the palace.

But the people wait and wait. Even after Meng Er has given birth to three children, the emperor's favor has not waned.

#With a face as lovely as yours, why not come into the palace and be my empress? I will offer you my entire empire as a betrothal gift, grant you a lifetime of honor and favor, and keep you safe for the rest of your days#

Upcoming story: "Keeping a Crown Prince as My Lover"

Blurb:

Lin Fangran transmigrated into a book, becoming the mistress of a duke's household, and painlessly giving birth to a ten-year-old son.

In the book, she is the first wife of Chen Liheng, Duke of Anguo. Chen Liheng is handsome, but a notorious womanizer. After Lin Fangran entered the household, he brought concubines through the door one after another, and there were too many women he kept outside to count on both hands.

The heroine of the story is one of Chen Liheng's women kept outside. After chasing and fleeing from each other through many hardships, they finally end up together. In the end, Chen Liheng marries her as his primary wife and dismisses all the women in his household.

As a cannon-fodder character, Lin Fangran can't compete with the various concubines. She withdraws to a secluded courtyard and dies one bitter winter night.

After reviewing the entire plot, Lin Fangran wears a deadpan expression. “Wow. Just wonderful!”

Lin Fangran has no desire to get involved, so she hands over the household management and lets the others fight it out. She lives quietly in a corner, spending her days praying and practicing calligraphy. Every so often, she visits the male brothel to flirt with the courtesans. What could be better?

One day, she sees a cold beauty at the brothel. He is absolutely gorgeous, and best of all, he has a six-pack.

Lin Fangran's heart stirs, and she decides to keep him as a lover. The beauty has a bad temper, though, and it takes a great deal of effort before she finally wins him over.

Blurb Two:

Li Xunan is as bright as the moon, disciplined, and courteous. He is later named Crown Prince and devotes himself even more diligently to governing.

Later, during a campaign to suppress bandits in the south, he is betrayed and barely escapes back to the capital. To evade the assassins and investigate the truth behind the attempt on his life, he takes refuge in a male brothel.

He never expected to meet a difficult woman there. She has a face as lovely as a hibiscus, and though she is married, she is shamelessly licentious, wanting nothing more than to keep him as her lover.

Li Xunan wants to throw in the towel, but his advisers all urge him to endure this small humiliation for the sake of his greater plans.

So Li Xunan puts up with it again and again. Eventually, he can stand it no longer. When Lin Fangran comes over, he grits his teeth and demands, “When are you going to let me move in?”

Lin Fangran: ???

Blurb Three:

When the new emperor ascends the throne, everyone knows that during his years in hiding, he kept himself pure and had no one close to him.

The ministers rub their hands together, all hoping to secure a place in the imperial harem for their daughters. Just as they are fighting tooth and nail, the new emperor personally goes to Yongning Temple to bring back a divorced woman. The very next day, he issues an edict making her empress.

Rumor has it that the new empress was once the wife of the Duke of Anguo. When the ministers see the duke at court again, they look at him with knowing expressions.

Theme: One partner for life.
