My next historical danmei novel, The Princes' Biggest Headache, is being drafted. I expect to start updating daily in February, and the blurb is already up. If you like it, please remember to add it to your favorites. Thanks for your support!
Xie Baizheng, a history lecturer at a university, woke up one day as a useless student in ancient times, a cannon-fodder character who had died unjustly in history.
And at his bedside was...
"So you're the goddess? I'm Huo Jingchuan. You descended to earth to marry me."
-
Unofficial histories say that the Imperial Astronomer of the Dayong Dynasty foretold Prince Qing Huo Jingchuan's noble destiny, and that only a goddess sent down to earth would be worthy of marrying him.
Prince Qing himself thought the whole thing absurd. He rode out of the palace alone to hunt. No one in the capital could match his skill with bow and horse, and no one could stop him.
But on that particular day, his horse was startled and he tumbled off.
When he woke, he really did find a "goddess" on the bed, beautiful in every way he could wish for.
There was just one problem.
This wasn't his bed, and his own body was as light as a swallow. He could even float, as if he had become a wandering ghost from a storybook.
-
Two months later.
Xie Baizheng thought he was lying flat, only dealing with a few problems because he had no choice. Instead, the Imperial College proactively sent him an offer of admission, a political heavyweight who had founded his own school wanted to take him as a disciple, and even a notorious villainous organization came to ask if he planned to back Prince Qing as the next emperor.
Xie Baizheng: "..." Huh?
Prince Qing himself was simply fed up. His wife was a workaholic who kept getting promoted, and there were always plenty of idiots crowding around him. How could he get his wife to look only at him?
After thinking it over, Prince Qing decided to formally send the betrothal gifts.
The hundred and eighty sedan loads of gifts were still on their way when the entire court panicked. "Your Highness, men can't be princess consorts!"
Lord Xie is a vital asset to the nation. Prince Qing can't keep him all to himself!
Xie Baizheng: "..."
He'd said it already: men really couldn't be wives.

***The blurb and the story were both published in July 2024.
Set in an imaginary ancient world. Aside from the main pairing, no other romantic pairings will be explored. There are no secondary couples!
Let me also recommend another historical danmei novel that will soon begin serialization: The Princes' Biggest Headache.
Blurb: Pei Mingxia is the moonlight in the hearts of the entire capital. The gifted young men of Huajing confide in him, and the generals regard him, the marshal's only son, as a living tiger tally, utterly loyal to him.
The emperor personally raises Pei Mingxia at his side, and the princes are his study companions. He can basically get away with anything wherever he goes.
When Pei Mingxia wakes up one day, he discovers that he is the cannon-fodder villain in a storybook. His ultimate fate is to die amid the princes' power struggles, then have his grave dug up and his corpse exhumed.
After reflecting on it, Pei Mingxia figures he's basically doomed. He's already managed to offend every one of the princes.
A year ago, in the spring examinations, Pei Mingxia came first, beating the cousin personally tutored by the eldest prince.
Six months ago, while investigating a murder case, Pei Mingxia traced it to the prospective father-in-law of the second prince. The man killed himself at home.
A month ago, the emperor sent the third prince to suppress bandits. After three months, he had lost ten thousand troops and been captured.
Pei Mingxia went with thirty cavalrymen and rescued him with ease. Pei Mingxia came away without a scratch, while the third prince was so frightened that he still hadn't recovered.
The sixth prince is the worst of all. He and Pei Mingxia are about the same age, and the emperor loves to praise one by putting the other down: praising Pei Mingxia while disparaging the sixth prince.
The sixth prince took the teacher's ruler for him and took the blame for him. Pei Mingxia stole the prince's blanket for his naps, insisted on winning every archery contest, and always gave him the goat milk he didn't want to drink.
There are too many awful things Pei Mingxia did to count. They've been at odds for two years now, and he can't for the life of him remember why.
Pei Mingxia sums up his character: the darling of the entire court, the princes' biggest headache, and the first person any new ruler will want to kill.
So he decides: then I'll become someone they can't kill! The goal: join the cabinet within three years and become grand secretary within five. The princes are still too idle, so he can put them all to work! It's been just a few years of peace, and the common people aren't even eating their fill yet. Why are they already making trouble?
Pei Mingxia's residence is thriving, and the court is in full swing. The court is also remarkably clear of corruption!
Whenever the princes make a move, they're hauled off to help build the nation! A peaceful and prosperous realm is just around the corner!
A glimpse of the princes' thoughts:
The eldest prince scolds his cousin: "How can I use you to win Pei Mingxia over if you can't even beat him in the exam?"
The second prince fumes: "Will Pei Mingxia think I'm covering for my wife's family and can't separate public duty from private affairs?"
The third prince has a complete breakdown: "What do I do? Pei Mingxia doesn't think I'm brave and mighty at all anymore. I'm ruined!"
The sixth prince hates the way everyone keeps their eyes on Pei Mingxia, and hopes that Pei Mingxia will only have eyes for him.
It's an ambitious goal. The urgent question is: how can he get Pei Mingxia to talk to him again?

***The blurb was published on December 17, 2024.
One-to-one pairing, happy ending. The protagonist is adored by everyone, whether in friendship, family, or court politics. The plot makes up half the story, and the style is similar to another historical danmei novel in the author's collection.
Theme: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a destiny for the people.
There is a feeling that the story has just reached the middle stage and ended unexpectedly.
I finished reading it in one sitting. It's very interesting and has good plot and writing. It's just that the second half was a bit too fast. King Qing ascended the throne and the wedding of the two was not included. I hope to write more. It would be even better if there was a side story where the husband and the wife work together to deal with the government affairs and kill everyone.
Hey, it feels like everyone is trying very hard to wake up the emperor, but he is pretending to be asleep [rolls eyes]
The Duke of Ying Guo disappeared beautifully again. He just ignored such big things at home, including getting married, getting married, and giving birth to a daughter. He laughed to death.
Congratulations on the completion.
Everyone has found their home and gone to where they came from. The emperor's brother's life is really embarrassing. I hope that the young prince and Xiao Xie will work together to give the dynasty a brand new future.
Has this article been cut in half?
I still feel it ended so suddenly... I thought the story had just begun QuQ
Alas... You are the emperor! Any order you give may kill someone!
I feel so sorry for the man I killed.
After reading it, I feel that I can actually write a lot after entering Beijing. Is the Tiandi case a bit short? The explanation was not as clear as the first case. The first case was long, the plot had ups and downs, it was very well written, and the timeline was very clear. After Xiao Xie came to Beijing, the timeline of the description of the Qingtian case was not so clear, including many major events that actually happened during this period, including the Mr. Dong incident. This is an article written by Xue on the actual situation. The emperor died and Prince Qing ascended the throne. If the second case can be expanded, I believe the ending will be better. The main reason is that the first case is too exciting, and the second case involves more, but the length is not as long as the first case. Many things in the middle are mentioned in one stroke, so it makes the reader feel like it starts at the beginning and ends at the end. But it's still a good article worth reading! Like~
I feel like the story has just started and then it's over [crying], and I'm still waiting for the protagonist to shine, huh?
