Historical Romance Coming Soon: Princess Yongrong. Please add it to your collection~

[Please read the warnings carefully. Thank you!]

[The author's writing is really bad, and the story isn't good either. Please read the free chapters first, and only buy the paid chapters if you can get through them. Buy them one at a time, and drop the story as soon as you can't stand it anymore.]

[The plot's logic is all over the place, and the female lead is a bit of a handful, so please read without overthinking it.]

[Please don't buy the whole book. The author is afraid you'll regret it.]

[The male lead has a harem. No one who requires a chaste couple should read this. Absolutely do not read it!!!]

On her fifteenth birthday, Song Zijing only wanted to marry into an ordinary family. Unexpectedly, an imperial edict sent her into the palace, where she became a low-ranking consort.

Knowing that emperors are heartless, she figured it was best not to attract his attention. She claimed to be ill every few days, hoping the emperor wouldn't summon her to his bed. One day, on a whim, she went to admire the lotus flowers in the pond (they were withered, too) and accidentally fell in. The emperor, who happened to be nearby, rescued her. What? What kind of ridiculous cliché was this?

Beneath the water, things turned intimate. The emperor couldn't keep his hands off her smooth skin, and from then on he couldn't forget her. He summoned her every few days, earning her the envy and resentment of the other consorts.

As one scheme and false accusation after another came her way, Song Zijing could only cry in despair. It's not my fault I'm beautiful and have fair skin! (Sobs.)

From then on, every time Song Zijing was framed, she ignored the emperor. It was all because this shameless man kept causing trouble, and she was the one who got dragged into it!

Warnings:

1. The male lead is the emperor, so the couple cannot both be chaste. Please understand (those who require chastity should read with caution).

2. This is an alternate history with many fictional elements. Please don't nitpick the historical details.

3. Neither lead is perfect, so don't expect too much.

4. Stay or leave as you please. Let's all get along.

5. Please don't attribute the characters' values to the author. Thank you!

A friend's upcoming novel: Stop That Man from Taking His Vows (Reborn). Take a look if you're interested:

Bai Qingyuan, the Lady of Jianing County, is the West Prince's beloved daughter. Arrogant and willful, she expects the stars if she asks for them, and won't settle for the moon.

One day, the Empress Dowager ordered her to be brought to the capital.

Perhaps it was the change of climate. The moment Bai Qingyuan arrived in the capital, she fell ill overnight, as frail as a willow in the wind and barely able to stand.

The Empress Dowager grew anxious. Following the imperial physician's advice, she took Bai Qingyuan to Lingquan Temple outside the capital to recuperate.

There, Bai Qingyuan saw a lay Buddhist who had taken the tonsure.

He had spent a month at the temple, severing his worldly ties, and was discussing with the abbot when he should take his vows.

Watching him from afar, Bai Qingyuan remembered her previous life, when she was framed and on the brink of death. He had held her and fed her medicine, one spoonful at a time.

By then, he had already become a young monk, with no hair at all and a head so shiny it reflected the light.

Bai Qingyuan had thought he looked perfectly handsome that way.

Only now did she realize that the young monk looked even better with hair.

So she called out, "Wait!"

In this life, she would have him whole and entirely to herself, without a single thing missing.
