[Pinned] This novel was completed in full on February 15, 2021. Thank you to all the lovely readers who stopped by! Please add my new novel, Drunken Flower Shade, to your reading list! November 21, 2024: Since Drunken Flower Shade and my later novels will involve this novel's world, I'm revising this story starting November 21, 2024 to flesh out the world and other details. Please forgive any inconvenience.
Xue Tang is the legitimate daughter of a section chief in the Jiangbei Bureau of Clear Administration at the Ministry of Revenue. She's a famous beauty in Jiangbei, known to everyone.
People say, "Xue family's Ah Tang, a flower so lovely it could topple a kingdom."
In her previous life, Xue Tang made three grave mistakes:
She persuaded her father to support the Third Prince, choosing the wrong side in the struggle for the throne.
After the Xue family was purged, she refused to submit to the powerful men of the court and was sent to the Directorate of Music.
Gu Xiyun, the chief grand secretary, petitioned the emperor three times to free her from her status. She refused him three times, then threw herself into the arms of Prince Yan, Liang Rui. In the end, her beauty was ruined, and not a trace of her body remained.
There were two great figures in the capital. One was Prince Yan, Liang Rui, whom people praised with the words, "A noble gentleman, warm as jade."
The other was Gu Xiyun, whom people feared as "transcendent and peerless, cold as frost."
Reborn into another life, Xue Tang knew who was cold and who was warm. She returned to the day the Xue family was purged. Looking at the two extraordinary men before her, the once-spoiled second young lady of the Xue family decided she could bend without breaking. She bowed gracefully before Gu Xiyun and said in a soft voice, "Please show mercy to my family, Lord Gu."
Gu Xiyun stood at the doorway and glanced at her breathtaking face. His voice was cool. "All right."
For that one word, Gu Xiyun devoted his entire life to her. Only later did Xue Tang discover that her father's death had nothing to do with the struggle for the throne...
One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's only partners. The heroine is very beautiful.
A note from the author:
The blurb is the blurb, but this is the silly author's first historical novel, so the logic and other aspects are still underdeveloped. Feedback is welcome.

Upcoming novel, Drunken Flower Shade:
The year Zhao Xiangying turned fourteen, she became the most famous young lady in the capital for loving alcohol and gambling. With her sharp tongue, she took on everyone, even the emperor. She was also so proud of her talent that she invented what people called the "Zhao Style" of calligraphy.
Zhao Xiangying thought she could keep living so freely forever, until her father, an Academician of the Hall of Literary Glory, finally started worrying about her marriage. After her gentle and charming cousin, Zhangsun Dongli, was brought to live with the Zhao family, Zhao Xiangying found that her days of going out to have fun were gradually dwindling.
*
At first, when Zhangsun Dongli heard Zhao Xiangying boldly proclaim, "A woman's fragrance should endure for all eternity," he thought she was just young and arrogant. Later, she assisted the Empress Dowager and became the first female official of Nanwu. Only then did Zhangsun Dongli realize he'd already fallen for her genuine talent and charm.
"Even after a thousand sails have passed and the land has changed, what I want most is still to drink wine and compose poems with you."
[A note for readers]
All the beautiful poetry belongs to the ancients. All the terrible writing is mine.
Theme: Correct your mistakes and build a better life together.
I wanted to try watching it for a while, and then bookmark it if it was good, but after watching it, I found that I couldn't understand the plot. It seems that my brain is still not good, and I am not worthy of this good article.
Dad, I have an opinion, like, readers all know that Xiao Xue was taken as a concubine as a last resort, but it is too strange to say it in front of the emperor with the mouth of the male protagonist. Even if it is said, the male protagonist should not be allowed to say it. There are also some places that are too explicit, not very subtle, and feel very fragmented, not very ancient. But if it's the first book, overall it's pretty good.
Congratulations on the completion! I have witnessed the journey of my wife's first book, and I can feel my wife's intentions. In my wife's writing, everyone has their own life. Perhaps unlike most books, I chose an ending that doesn't seem so perfect, but I think such an ending is also good. Ah, actually I don't know what to say because I'm stupid, but I can't bear to tell this story. As my wife grows up, I also see her efforts and progress, especially when she was doing dual studies + studying, it's really not easy to persevere. All in all, I like my wife very much, and I look forward to the surprise that the next book will bring to me~ What a tweet!
Although the ending is not like most HE, it is still awesome! Sprinkle flowers, spread flowers∽
The writing is really good!!!! I wonder why there are so few collections? . ?
Is it over so soon? QAQ, come on, look forward to the new article~
Press your paw, it looks good! Come on and update hhh~
My wife has such a good attitude, I hope she can keep her good attitude and keep writing~
Write your paper well and don't be in a hurry.
I feel like the heroine is very delicate. How many words does the author plan to write?
