The Empress Is Unworthy (Both Reborn)

----The main story is complete. Let it pile up, then dig in---- [Next I'll write Chang'an Moon. Please add it to your favorites from my author page. The blurb is at the bottom.] Blurb for this story: Born into a distinguished family of military generals, Qin Jun'en followed her father and brothers on campaigns from a young age. Her lifelong wish was to serve her country, lay down her life, shed her blood, and die on the battlefield, wrapped in her horse's hide. She never imagined that after a lifetime on the battlefield, she would meet a miserable death in the Cold Palace. Even now, lying in this place with only her final breath left, she still remembered the graceful young man who had climbed over the courtyard wall to find her that year. She knew the man had gone to such lengths to coax her into his confidence only because he coveted the power of the Qin family. Once he had used that power to establish himself, he turned on them without a second thought. After uprooting the Qin family, he rearranged the balance of power and secured his throne. I'm dying! Qin Jun'en lay on the ground, blood trickling steadily from the corner of her mouth. The white jade in her hand was already completely stained with blood. She thought, If there is another life, I will turn his empire upside down. The pain of death could not wear away her resolve to be reborn. When she opened her eyes again, Qin Jun'en found herself back as the dashing young woman general she once was. "Who are you waiting for here, miss?" Qin Jun'en held a brick and pointed toward the wall. "I'm looking at the moon." She was waiting. Waiting for the man who would appear by the corner of the wall tonight. Waiting for the man who had stolen half her heart with one glance beneath the moonlight all those years ago. The moment he showed his face, she would raise the brick and smash that bastard's head open like a watermelon. A few notes: 1. A satisfying revenge story, with scumbags getting punished all the way through. 2. Both the man and the woman are reborn, but neither knows the other has been reborn. 3. She finds a new guy to fall in love with. A sweet happy ending! 4. She knows the plot and has an advantage all the way through. Blurb for Chang'an Moon: [This is a tragic romance.] [Mainly from the male lead's perspective, both sexually inexperienced, one-on-one.] Rong Jin grew up among the martial world. The first time he saw Lin Se, he felt a flicker of affection. He heard that Lin Se was a young nobleman from the Western Yin Dynasty, the eldest son of the Duke's household, with an extremely illustrious family background. He was handsome, modest, and courteous, yet there was always a woman by his side. After asking around in private, Rong Jin learned that the two were childhood sweethearts, and the woman was none other than the Ninth Princess of the dynasty. Rong Jin's face darkened on the spot. * The Lin family was at the height of its power, with influence reaching across the court. Nobles from every quarter wanted to form a marriage alliance with them, but Lin Se had fallen head over heels for a woman from the martial world. The beauty had skin like ice and bones like jade, with an alluring charm born in her. All it took was for her to drape a slender arm around a man's waist and raise her almond-shaped eyes, and he would be so captivated he could not free himself. * Though he had made countless enemies, Lin Se would overcome every obstacle and bring her home in an eight-person bridal sedan chair. But on their wedding night, his beloved wife asked him: "Your Lin family wields tremendous power. Once I marry into it, will I be able to strut around Chang'an however I please?" Perhaps it was only a joke, but her words turned out to be a prophecy. His delicate, sweet wife had committed every kind of misdeed, and would drive the Lin family to ruin. 1. Angsty, but not melodramatic (sweet at first). 2. An inherited feud, with no solution. 3. The male lead isn't blinded by love; the female lead is very good at keeping up her disguise at first. Theme: Having been reborn, I must strive to take control of my own life.
