[I'll polish this up later.]
The heroine of the novel, Shen Hanyue, disguises herself as a man and becomes emperor, but she can't rule in her own right because the male lead, Xiao Li, is the regent. After a series of clashes, the two fall for each other. She later learns that everything he did was for her, and in the end he willingly gives up his power and stays in the harem.
In this novel, the male lead Xiao Li is a ruthless regent, raised by the former regent through a brutal struggle for survival. He defeated all the other heirs in the regent's household before claiming the throne.
After transmigrating into this illogical, melodramatic romance novel, you'd expect to become either the male or female lead.
Instead, Xiao Sui Chen transmigrated into the role of the male lead's younger brother: Xiao Sui Chen, a bastard son born to a mistress and a disposable side character.
She was oppressed by Xiao Li and forced to kneel for hours in humiliation outside the regent's residence, yet she could feel that she didn't have any manly bits.
Melodramatic plots never disappoint. It turned out the male lead's disposable younger brother was a woman disguised as a man.
Looking at the female lead, still a "young prince," sweetly reaching out to shield her from the rain, Xiao Sui Chen felt conflicted.
They were both in the same miserable boat. That Xiao Li was truly no good.
To stay alive and make up for the injustice she'd suffered in this melodramatic romance, Xiao Sui Chen silently straightened her back.
Since Xiao Li insisted on being an idiot in love, she might as well take the regent's position for herself! Her little brother wouldn't hold back.
Shen Hanyue gazed at the spirited young man beside her. From illegitimate son of a mistress to regent, he had stayed at her side through every perilous step.
Shen Hanyue hardly dared to imagine what might be, yet all the steel in her heart melted into tenderness.
[Before You Start Reading]
· The plot has some holes, all in service of the romance and other things.
· The original novel's heroine is the male lead of this story (and really is a man), while this story's heroine was a disposable character in the original (disguised as a man).
· There's a transitional period before the heroine becomes regent. After that, she starts crushing her enemies left and right.
· Important!!! The male lead, Shen Hanyue, is a man. He's only different from the original novel's characterization because of the transmigration.
· Most important!!! There is no romantic relationship between Xiao Li and the male lead, either before or after the transmigration. This is an M/F romance, with no M/M or F/F romance.
Upcoming story: The Female Disguise That Got Her Memory Knocked Away by the Second Male Lead
Yue Chaosong, who has read sweet romances for years, opens a male-oriented cultivation novel.
Then she transmigrates into the role of the villain's son: Yue Chaosong, young master of the demon clan.
The young master's position is pretty high, but his father is a lunatic. Every time a maid climbs into his bed at night, Yue Chaosong looks at his father with deep resentment.
You raise a perfectly good girl as a boy, then she acts up every day like she's begging to be beaten.
After thinking it over, she realizes that if her lunatic father doesn't care about living, she still does.
So that night, Yue Chaosong puts on a secret identity and goes to befriend the male lead, starting her plan to stay alive.
When the male lead is beaten, she protects him. When his aptitude is poor, she personally trains him. When monsters surround him, she burns them all to ash with a wave of demonic fire.
Yue Chaosong becomes the male lead's human cheat code.
But there's one person she can't deal with: Wei Tingqiu, the male lead's sworn rival.
Sigh. His health bar is way too high.
*
Wei Tingqiu can't figure out how the most useless member of his clan got so lucky as to have Yue Chaosong, a human weapon, for a friend.
He has to eat cold buns, while that clan member gets to hold a chicken leg given to him by Yue Chaosong.
He and the clan member are both battered and bruised after a match, but he struggles to crawl away while that person is carried in Yue Chaosong's arms and comforted softly.
What's worse, that clan member keeps provoking him. All Yue Chaosong needs to hear is a fake, "Brother Sheng," and she'll stab herself twice on his behalf.
If you don't die in silence, you'll explode in silence.
During a trial in a secret realm, Wei Tingqiu and Yue Chaosong fall in together.
He decides to strike without hesitation and send Yue Chaosong, the clan member's "cheat code," to the afterlife.
But then
Yue Chaosong opens her bewildered eyes and asks, "Who are you? Where am I? And who am I?"
Wei Tingqiu hides his spiritual power, pinches himself until his eyes turn red, and looks pitiful:
"Brother Sheng..."
Wei Tingqiu: Human weapon? I'll take that!
· I love female characters disguised as men. The heroine disguises herself as a man (with a universally adored charm).
· The setup is pretty melodramatic, so buckle up.
· The male lead is a human walking vinegar jar, strong, beautiful, and tragic. They have no feelings for each other at first and are enemies because of the original male lead.

Theme: Even if fate is cruel, keep moving forward and never give up. There will always be a chance to triumph over destiny.
I have read the last chapter many times. The empathic heroine will be really sad. The second child can easily get the family love she wants. The heroine came to this world and suffered so much. In the end, her parents had another child and gave all the love they owed to the first child to the second child. I felt uncomfortable watching it every time, but I felt that such an ending was so real.
Oh my God, I really do. I feel an indescribable discomfort.
The tragic and regretful Yan Shisan, the abandoned Yuan Zilie, the strong and cool Shen Xingzhi, and the wolf-like Xiao Suichen waiting for opportunities, I like them very much, but when will you continue Shen Xingzhi's story (?`ω??) Also, pay attention to your health, fellow author
Can we do a Xiao Guan monologue? I really love Xiao Guan's character design!
Pei Chen is really realistic and can pretend. I feel sorry for Chenchen's thoughts. Fortunately, she still has Hanyue.
Congratulations on the completion! , Sahua ~ Sahua ~ I really want to see the entanglements between my parents when they were young, and I want to see the once glorious husband (???)
Wuhu~The heroine is dragging her~ Still haven't recovered from the father-daughter BE incident QAQ
The ending is he, but it feels very depressing...
I love this article so much that I can't find meal replacements even if I want to read the same type of article.
I really like the plot about the heroine's parents, it's really a twist of fate.
