A war god returns home to find his poor wife and children living in a doghouse! At his command, a hundred thousand retired soldiers come rushing over. That was all from one of those ridiculous ads on xx Browser.
But Gu Jinrong didn't think it had anything to do with her.
That is, until she transmigrated into the story herself.
They weren't living in a doghouse, but life was still miserable for the mother and daughter. Then a bunch of cruel uncles and conniving brothers tried to marry off her beautiful mother as a second wife to a butcher in the neighboring village. Little Gu Jinrong clenched her fists. Even a clay figurine has a temper! Did they think she was a sick cat just because she hadn't shown her claws?
But she didn't need to lift a finger. Good news arrived from the village: her father, who'd had one foot in the grave, had somehow been dragged back to life.
Gu Jinrong: (⊙o⊙)…
Only then did she remember that she seemed to have transmigrated into a war-god novel, and her supposedly long-lost father was none other than the famed, undefeated general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Were good days finally coming? Not at all. Not only had her father come back, he'd brought along a graceful princess consort and a younger stepsister dressed head to toe in silk, who was only a few years older than Gu Jinrong.
Whether her father was going to play Xue Pinggui or Chen Shimei, Gu Jinrong thought her luck had run out. She'd better pack up and retire with her mother.
Just as she was about to leave, her stepsister came to see her, looking down her nose as she said:
"I'll give you a thousand acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold. Leave my father!"
Gu Jinrong: ...Are you serious? I can get a deal like that?
Seeing her stunned, her stepsister assumed she had principles and gritted her teeth.
"I'll also give you a hundred bolts of silk and ten hu of pearls. Surely you'll be satisfied now?"
Gu Jinrong hurriedly said, "Find my mother a suitable match from a good family, and give us a comfortable mansion. I promise I won't bother you!"
Watching her leap for joy, her stepsister was speechless. ...Didn't she say she wouldn't bow for five pecks of rice?
Gu Jinrong said sincerely, "I really wanted to be dignified, but your offer was just too good."
With riches falling from the heavens, who needs a father?
The general father, whose life had just been neatly arranged for him, said, "...Daughter, why don't we talk this over?"
Reader's Guide:
[1] The father isn't a scumbag and didn't cheat. The whole family gets a happy ending.
[2] The tone is somewhat humorous. This isn't a serious historical drama.
[3] There is a romantic pairing, and the male lead appears in the first chapter.
Please add my upcoming novel to your collection: The Favorite of the Six Palaces by Breaking Character
Liu Peng transmigrates into a palace-intrigue novel. The original owner is careful and calculating, patiently enduring for sixty years until she finally wins.
Liu Peng takes a laid-back approach. Better to die young and be reborn! What's the point of living a long life without air conditioning, Wi-Fi, or milk tea?
Might as well enjoy life and do whatever feels good.
And so the usually gentle and virtuous Consort De suddenly changes her ways
When her mother-in-law falls ill and summons her to tend to her, Liu Peng simply says, "If you're uncomfortable, call a doctor. What can I do, give you cupping or perform an exorcism?"
The Empress Dowager: ...Has Consort De gone mad?
When food runs low during her confinement, Liu Peng simply orders them to take the Emperor's portion instead. Princes and nobles shouldn't get special treatment just because they're the Emperor, right?
The chief eunuch sent to fetch the food: ...This woman is outrageously bold.
Even when the Emperor summons her to consummate their marriage, Liu Peng is still perfectly frank. "I'm on my period today, so I can't attend you. Why don't you sleep somewhere else?"
Then she promptly kicks her bargain husband out of bed.
The Emperor rubs his swollen chin. This woman is so innocent and unaffected. Could she be deliberately trying to get his attention?
Liu Peng: ...Are you seriously out of your mind?
After repeatedly getting away with things, Liu Peng decides to make a bold move. She sets her sights on the Emperor's equally dashing twin brother and plans to follow the example of The xx Story: enjoy an affair, take advantage of the moment, then confess everything. Surely she'll finally earn a cup of poisoned wine?
Looking at the beautiful woman with her curvy figure and slightly rounded belly, the Emperor says with perfect gentleness, "When have I ever had a twin brother?"
Liu Peng: ???
A silly, satisfying read.
Theme: Even in adversity, stay true to yourself, and the clouds will eventually part to reveal the moon
Ah? Didn't Chen Danqing ever think about marrying the third prince? Although she was wavering, she had only had this idea, and the third prince would definitely not marry her. This was just what the Chen family took for granted. But the heroine told Chen Danqing that the third prince was pockmarked, which completely dispelled Chen Danqing's idea. But the heroine will be with the third prince in the future, and the third prince is also charming. Will Chen Danqing be jealous? Could it be that the heroine is attracted to the third prince, so she tells herself that the third prince is pockmarked?
It's really ugly to eat. If you want to take advantage of others' power, but you look down on them in your heart, you have to be sincere when asking for help. Why, do they still owe you?
I'm afraid this Empress Shi wants to eat shit and return Liangdi. Why doesn't she become a beauty or something and resign from this empress?
Hahahahahahahahahaha the heroine pretends to be cool everyday
"Prince" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Shouldn't the hero be older if he is the first queen's son, and should he be younger if he is the second son?
It makes me laugh so hard, this is a straight woman
I finally figured it out. Of course I would have gotten married earlier in the old days.
It makes me laugh so hard, hahaha, that I have a straight girl
Although it's a little short, it's still quite cozy.
Isn't the word "wife" wrong? It means "concubine". The emperor's wife is the male protagonist's mother.
