I'm starting a new novel, so please add it to your library: The Family's Rise to Power
In her previous life, Nan Ruo had a father who didn't care for her and a mother who didn't love her. She fought tooth and nail to buy herself a room and a car at twenty-five, but Heaven was blind: she didn't even get to enjoy them for a year before she died of overwork.
When she opened her eyes again, Nan Ruo had become Nan Gua'er. She had four siblings, a father with every vice under the sun, a frail mother, and selfish grandparents, uncles, and aunts. Their whole family lived in constant fear at the end of the Zhou Dynasty.
Just as she was making plans to improve life for her new family, well, the world fell into chaos. The land was torn apart, and human lives were worth less than ants.
Nan Ruo was furious. She had lived two lives, and each one had been more miserable than the last. But why should she put up with it?
Why, when we're all human, does he get to humiliate me, curse me, and bully me?
So she stopped staying silent. She swore to turn the world upside down and live with her head held high.
Later, the siblings who had been separated by the chaos reunited, but...
Why was the warm and responsible eldest brother's identity a mystery?
Why was the lively, spirited third sister called the Female Night Demon?
Why did the quiet youngest sister have a terrifying number of supporters?
And why was even the youngest so close to the Crown Prince?
Nan Ruo rubbed her forehead. What have you all been doing these past years?
The other four siblings silently looked at her. Aren't you the one everyone fears?
Later, a new dynasty was founded, and the Nan family became its most powerful clan. All five siblings were forces to be reckoned with, earning them the nickname the Nan Family's Five Tigers...
P.S.
1. There is a male lead. He appears a few chapters in, but he's there from beginning to end.
2. This is mainly the story of five siblings struggling to survive in a chaotic age, then accidentally taking over the dynasty.
[Novel Blurb]
Wen Ci personally arranged to marry herself off to Prince Xin, a man with a broken leg who was on the verge of dying from illness.
All she wanted was the title of Princess Consort Xin.
But Prince Xin was a war god worthy of admiration. A war god shouldn't wither away and die.
So after marrying him, Wen Ci cared for him diligently, doing everything she could to make his final days more comfortable.
But who could have guessed that all it would take was a little washing, wiping, and kneading every day,
plus the occasional private conversation,
for Prince Xin to get better day by day, until it seemed he wasn't going to die after all.
One morning, she opened her eyes and met a pair of deep, tranquil eyes.
He said, "Little girl, I've listened every day to your stories about killing your enemies. They were so fascinating that I've decided not to die."
Wen Ci was stunned.
He continued, "Little girl, how many enemies do you still have left? Once I'm awake, I may have nothing to do. How about I help you?"
Wen Ci's eyes reddened.
He went on, "Little girl, I'm old enough to be your father, and I'm sick all over. I'm afraid I'll die before you do. What will you do all alone then?"
Wen Ci was about to answer,
but he said, "Even so, little girl, I don't want to let go. Why don't you stay with me for the rest of my life?"
At last, Wen Ci burst into tears.
P.S.
1. The man really does have a broken leg, and he's eighteen years older than the heroine.
2. The heroine is his second wife. The hero was married before and has children.
3. When she marries him, the hero still has concubines and secondary consorts, but they're only there as cannon fodder and won't come between the couple.
4. Please think carefully before reading if any of the above bothers you.

Recommending my upcoming novel: After I Got Pregnant with the Prince's Cousin's Child
[Blurb]
Prince Mingxi, the Third Prince, always thought he had mysophobia. Even at twenty-six, he was still alone, with neither wife nor concubine.
His mother, the Noble Consort Dowager Xian, once locked him in a room with a beautiful palace maid to make him marry and have children.
But even after three days and nights, he wouldn't give in. He nearly starved to death, and after being let out, he scrubbed off a layer of his own skin before insisting on becoming a monk.
The Noble Consort Dowager Xian only managed to keep him from leaving by threatening to kill herself. After that, she never dared force him again.
Then one day, a distant cousin came to seek refuge at the prince's estate. He was skinny, smelly, and slovenly, and the Third Prince nearly had him thrown out.
But after the cousin had washed up, the prince discovered he was a beautiful young person.
Especially those clear, limpid eyes. When he looked into them, a tingling, irresistible urge stirred deep within him. He wanted desperately to pull the young man into his arms, even devour him.
He thought he must have gone mad.
Fortunately, this was his "cousin."
After that, he kept him by his side, eating and living with him. The young man was very obedient, doing whatever he was told, like a toy the prince could play with as he pleased.
One day, someone drugged the prince. In a daze, he used his "cousin" to relieve the effects. When he woke up, he couldn't accept it. Feeling defiled, he ordered the young man sent to a country estate and never asked about him again.
But gradually, the prince found he could be around women. Six months later, he even agreed to marry at the Noble Consort Dowager's urging.
Then, on the night before the imperial decree was to be issued, he suddenly had a dream. In it was a wonderful woman, gentle as water, kind and forgiving, whom he had cruelly humiliated to death.
He woke up in a cold sweat, and the woman in his dream looked just like his "cousin."
He went to the country estate, but his "cousin" came out to greet him wearing women's clothes, her belly round with pregnancy. The young man had become a woman, and she looked exactly like the person in his dream.
He staggered back in fright, but his "cousin" walked up to him with tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Cousin, you remember me now, don't you?"
Only later did he learn that he didn't have mysophobia. Deep in his subconscious, he had kept himself chaste while waiting for someone.
[Both leads are reborn, doting romance]
Theme: Respect and care for one another, work together, and build a beautiful home
The biggest villain here is actually Wen Ci's father, who is absolutely disgusting.
Dog emperor ah ah ah ah ah
It's obvious at first glance that the poison of the false accusation has been dug out by Aunt Cai long ago. This is to let Nanyue see clearly the Shouchang Marquis Mansion, bring down Aunt Liu, and at the same time remove the restless elements in Prince Xin's Mansion.
Men and women in ancient times were really pitiful. When they had physical intimacy, they had to be with each other. This was too hard to guard against.
Personally, I think there is nothing wrong with this article, and I was almost dismissed by the comments.
It's been a long time since I've watched more, and it's been a long time since I finished it. I finished it today, and I thought it was okay. I was almost mistaken for a comment.
I really can't stand the arrangements made by the hostess and her father. I can't be so disgusting.
I fainted. What do you call the last descendant of the Jiang family? It's so bloody.
Fortunately, I bought it because it was a novel that made me feel so depressed after finishing it. The heroine knew who her father was, yet she allowed her father to get close to her son. Moreover, is the death of the heroine's mother only the fault of Li's family? If it were me, I would never see such a father again. I don't know what the heroine is thinking, but she can still get along with her as usual.
!!! What kind of hidden plot is this?
