[My next historical romance is open for preorder: Has Madam Told Her Fortune Today? Blurb below~]
A hardworking, sweet-natured emperor who disguises herself as a man x a loyal, scheming, gentle, and wealthy chancellor
In her previous life, Meng Guan was a tyrant hated by everyone. She ultimately died with her head and body separated, and watched her empire pass into another family's hands.
When rebel forces drove her into a desperate corner, it was Fu Heng, the fearsome chancellor she had always dreaded, who shielded her and vowed to die by her side.
After waking up ten years in the past, she resolved to study hard and work tirelessly to become a better ruler.
She wanted to avoid the old path that had led to the fall of her dynasty, and not betray Fu Heng's deep affection for her.
Meng Guan led Great Yan on a glorious road to revival, but somewhere along the way... the country was at peace, so how had she ended up in the chancellor's arms?!
*
Later, peace finally came to the land. The powerful Chancellor Fu Heng, with his influential family and great wealth, became the most sought-after bachelor in the capital.
Even the undeniable proof that he shared a romantic preference for men with the emperor could not stem the river-like tide of admiration from the city's women.
When Meng Guan heard the news while tending to a child in her bedchamber, she immediately made an announcement: "The chancellor is married, has a three-year-old child, and his wife is alive. He has no intention of taking concubines. Everyone can go home and get some sleep!"
Reading Guide:
1. This is not a matriarchy.
2. The male lead is occasionally strict early on, but becomes extremely gentle later.
3. Half political intrigue, half romance. The romance takes up more and more of the story after the heroine's identity is revealed.
Has Madam Told Her Fortune Today? Blurb:
A lively, cheeky, free-spirited firebrand young lady x a refined prince who is devoted, ruthless, and utterly indulgent toward his wife
Jiang Meng, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, was born under an ill omen and sent to a Taoist temple as a child in the hope of receiving divine protection.
Surrounded by the principles of yin and yang and the Eight Trigrams from a young age, she seemed blessed with supernatural insight. She could read the heavens, the earth, and people's futures. If she said disaster was coming, a great calamity was sure to follow. If she said your brow looked dark, misfortune was surely on its way.
Her fifteen carefree years ended when she returned from the mountain to the Jiang household.
When she learned the Jiang family had arranged a political marriage for her, she cast a fortune herself: extremely inauspicious.
What was she supposed to do?
So the noble young lady tried every trick she could think of to make her betrothed call off the engagement, even going so far as to risk her reputation. Nothing worked.
Just as everyone waited to see how this farce would end, Zhou Yun, the famed Ghost-Faced Prince of the capital, chuckled and held out his hand to her.
"Come with me, and I'll help you break off the engagement."
·
The first time Zhou Yun saw Jiang Meng on the street, she was disguised as a Taoist priest, telling fortunes to passersby.
Though her voice and appearance were different, he recognized her instantly.
Zhou Yun knew that at last he had the chance to make amends and spend his life loving her. Naturally, he could not let someone else take that chance from him.
Theme: Growth, perseverance, responsibility, and love for one's country and people
Finished reading. I feel that the structure in the early stage is relatively big and there is more sugar, but the plot later is too short and there is very little sugar... Gugu, come on, continue writing the next book (=^▽^=)
Hahaha, have the male and female protagonists fallen asleep?
If the little emperor runs around drunk like this, won't he be exposed?
Alas, the ending was too hasty!
My God, I'm still not satisfied after watching this.
The last chapter is so sweet.
La
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
La la la la la la, the little emperor shouldn't come back
