Thank you, darlings, for supporting the official release. My ongoing novel, So Much for Our Divorce! Bah!, is looking for love! The blurb is at the very bottom.
[Blurb for this novel]:
Pingjin Marquis Xiao Jiuqin was carefree and bold in his youth. After his father and elder brother died in battle, he took command of the army at fifteen. Five years of war later, the Northern Di submitted.
The current imperial censor, Bai Yan, lost his parents young and was raised by his uncle. Living under someone else's roof, he endured endless contempt and hardship, digging wild vegetables and drinking cold porridge. Once he rose to power, he impeached meritorious officials, set up his colleagues, and framed his benefactor. Who could have guessed that he would become the foremost official in the Censorate?
One was a meritorious general with glorious achievements. The other was a courtier everyone despised as a lackey of the powerful.
People in the capital all said that Bai Yan had framed his benefactor, Marquis Xiao, to advance his career, causing the entire Xiao household to die.
When Xiao Jiuqin returned to the capital, the two ran into each other in the city's busiest district. Someone had just dumped a bucket of dirty water over Bai Yan.
He was filthy from head to toe, with a rotten cabbage leaf still hanging from his shoulder.
Xiao Jiuqin dismounted and walked up to him, step by step. "Lord Bai, long time no see. You've gotten even better at making people jealous."
Bai Yan was soaked on one side, but stood with his back straight. "What, Marquis, would you like to give it a try?"
Xiao Jiuqin's profile was cold and severe. He fought back the urge to strangle him. "Lord Bai, don't rush. We'll settle our accounts slowly."
Everyone in the capital waited to see Bai Yan meet a miserable end. Who could have guessed that before long, news would spread that Xiao and Bai were getting married?
A loyal minister marrying a treacherous official: an utter disgrace!
During the Lantern Festival, the emperor hosted a banquet for his ministers. By the end, Marquis Xiao was carrying Lord Bai away. As their carriage passed, its curtains drawn tight, all anyone could hear was the usually cool and dignified Lord Bai murmuring softly, "Gently..."
A passerby: "..." That treacherous official must be abusing another loyal subject!
#Everyone in the capital is waiting for Marquis Xiao to kill his wife.
Reader's Guide:
1. HE, HE, HE. Three times, because it's important!
2. It's a sweet story about rekindling an old relationship, so there will be some angst. I'm not good at political intrigue or palace drama.
3. Xiao is the top, Bai is the bottom, and the bottom is a good person.
4. Both are virgins, and there are no third parties.
5. Side pairing: eunuch top x emperor bottom. A real eunuch, so skip if that bothers you, darlings. Extra Chapter Three is about the side pairing.
6. I occasionally come back from the dead to revise the story (hides face). Thank you, darlings, for supporting the official release. Hope you enjoy reading! Love you all~
Ongoing novel ★ So Much for Our Divorce! Bah! ★ Blurb:
An ancient version of a marriage-before-love story, with mild coercion and plenty of melodrama.
The heir to Pingbei Marquis, Xiao Yanshi, escorted his elder sister to Jiangling for her betrothal. On the road, they ran into a band of highwaymen. Their leader was quite handsome, except for one unfortunate detail: he was a man.
The two briefly fought to a draw. Xiao Yanshi thought, If only he were a woman. It would be wonderful to marry him!
After returning to Jiangling, Xiao Yanshi couldn't stop thinking about the bandit leader.
When he saw him again while drinking with a friend, he couldn't help losing focus.
His friend nudged his arm. "You know him? That's the third son of the Grand Princess's household, recently acknowledged by his birth family... Barely even a recognized concubine-born son!"
Xiao Yanshi immediately lost interest and drained a whole jar of strong liquor.
The Pingbei Marquis's household and the Grand Princess's household had always been at odds. No matter how handsome the man was, Xiao Yanshi wanted nothing to do with him.
But fate had other plans. After one reckless night, Xiao Yanshi stared dumbfounded at the person beside him. In less than half a day, all of Jiangling knew that Xiao Yanshi had completely had his way with the man.
With his elder sister's betrothal approaching, Xiao Yanshi couldn't tarnish the Pingbei Marquis household's reputation. Gritting his teeth, he asked the emperor for an imperial decree and married the man. They agreed to act lovey-dovey in public, then divorce after a year.
But as the days passed, Xiao Yanshi began to feel that his husband was taking the act a little too seriously. He tried to set him straight, but whenever the other man came close, Xiao Yanshi lost his nerve.
Just as the entire marquis's household had already "switched sides," Xiao Yanshi realized he was about to do the same.
With a firm resolve, he ran away.
He never expected that less than half a year after his escape, the emperor would die. Summoned back, Xiao Yanshi took one look at the person on the throne and was dumbfounded.
The new emperor dismissed everyone else and trapped him against the imperial desk. "How about I build a golden cage and keep you in it? Then you won't run away..."
Xiao Yanshi: "..." Is it too late to tear up that divorce agreement?
People in Jiangling said the new emperor had been bewitched. Otherwise, why would he bring that Xiao heir into the palace and make him empress?
Xiao Yanshi wanted to curse whenever he heard it. I'm the one who got bewitched! Back when we were married, we were together for so long, and I never once ended up on top!
Oh, riding him doesn't count!
Theme: Better to die speaking out than live in silence
It looks good, but it's a bit messy in some places.
Is it God's perspective? I feel that it has been quite obvious since the fifth prince appeared. At that time, Bai Yan's spies said that the fifth prince seemed to have taken advantage of the chaos to give Master Yun a knife, but Bai Yan did not seem to check along this line.
It's very strange why the protagonist and Huaichun thought that the fifth prince was born out of nowhere. Obviously, the emperor only had six sons. The eldest prince and the third prince died early, the fourth prince had been pulled down, and the second prince was despised. They relied on the so-called support of Huaichun and the grand master to compete with the sixth prince. However, the sixth prince was obviously a shield used by the emperor. If he was really favored, he would not be the sixth prince, and he was forcibly lowered in the ranking. On the other hand, the fifth prince has a concubine and a mother, and the grand master is also his uncle. He is not clearly disliked by the emperor. In this case, isn't it a conclusion that he has ideas that can be reached at a glance? As for the grand master, although he single-handedly brought up the second prince, the grand master is simply a machine with no emotions. He can steal his daughter-in-law's son, or marry his most beloved little daughter. Not to mention that he was the one responsible for the tragedy of Mr. Bai and Pingjin Hou Mansion. In this way, wouldn't Huaichun be more careful with him? Aren't you worried that he will betray the Fifth Prince? Compared to the second prince, who behaves like a true gentleman and doesn't want to be the emperor, the fifth prince, who is obviously straightforward, is easier to control, right? Moreover, in the previous plot, Mr. Bai also suspected that the fifth prince would benefit from the dispute between the second prince and Song Que. But now he was suddenly caught off guard. Are they completely unprepared?
I wiped it, but the second prince actually suffered

After finishing the novel, I feel that after reading the whole novel, there are various emotions, including tears for the love between them, regret for the years they have been separated, and sadness for the departure of various relatives. The most speechless one is the stinky emperor. If he was not suspicious or suspicious, how could so many things have happened. They are all sacrificing for the country and the people, but the emperor still thinks that they must be coveting his rights. I am really angry.
