A Study Companion and a Part-Time Wife!

Please add my new story, What Should I Do After Mistaking the Male Lead in the Book?

Blurb:

The whole capital celebrates: after six years away, Sixth Prince Qin Yu has recovered from his mental illness and will soon return to court to be enfeoffed as a prince.

The emperor is overjoyed, and the ministers gather to offer their congratulations.

Only Chu Tian, Vice Minister of Justice, has complicated feelings.

The ministers are puzzled. "Isn't Vice Minister Chu on good terms with the Sixth Prince?"

Chu Tian awkwardly replies, "Well, yes. I was the Sixth Prince's study companion for four years, and we were together day and night. He even affectionately called me Tiantian."

The ministers say, "Then Vice Minister Chu should be happy for His Highness!"

Chu Tian smiles bitterly. "Indeed. I've always hoped His Highness would recover from his illness and return to court soon."

The ministers are envious. "The Sixth Prince is favored by His Majesty, and Vice Minister Chu is an old acquaintance of his. Doesn't that mean a bright future for you?"

Chu Tian sighs. "You probably don't know that I betrayed the Sixth Prince once and caused him to travel three thousand li south, away from the capital..."

When Sixth Prince Qin Yu returns to court, he has gone from a dazed fool to a smooth operator who wears one face in public and another in private. He's become the new favorite among the capital's powerful families.

Only Vice Minister Chu avoids him at every opportunity.

But to Chu Tian's surprise, Qin Yu chooses to train in the Ministry of Justice, where Chu Tian works. The move puts Chu Tian on high alert.

In public, Chu Tian and Qin Yu act like strangers and leave each other alone.

But late at night, Qin Yu secretly climbs over the high wall, sneaks into Chu Tian's bedroom, and pins him to the bed.

Startled awake, Chu Tian wraps his clothes tightly around himself and stares in terror at the lecher before him.

Qin Yu smiles slyly. "Tiantian, do you remember? Father said you were supposed to be my wife!"

Bonus scene:

One day, Qin Yu pins Chu Tian to the bed without giving him a chance to object.

Chu Tian: Your Highness, what are you doing?

Qin Yu: Tiantian, since you're my wife, shouldn't you fulfill your wifely duties?

Chu Tian: I'm your study companion, your study companion!

Qin Yu ignores him and kisses him. "Study companion? A study companion is a wife. A wife can be a study companion too."

Blurb for the upcoming story:

Ye Mian wakes up one morning and discovers that he has transmigrated into a book.

Oh, yes! No more dead-end jobs, no more putting up with crap, and no more earning a pathetic wage!

But why did he have to transmigrate into this particular book? He barely read it... He knows almost nothing about the plot...

Ye Mian is getting frustrated, wondering what to do, when someone suddenly announces, "Your Majesty, it's time for your medicine."

Ye Mian is no longer frustrated. So what if he doesn't know the plot? He's the emperor! He can do whatever he wants!

Wait, wasn't the emperor in the original story a villain...?

So what if he's a villain? He's the emperor, and he rules the world!

He'll find the male lead, stick close to him, and rise to the top! The male lead is supposed to be the younger brother of that villainous emperor, some prince named Han?

Having figured out a solution, Ye Mian is in high spirits and decides to take a walk. But the moment he steps outside the palace, he sees nothing but endless palace walls.

Ye Mian can't help sighing. "These palace halls go on forever. Emperors have always been so heartless..."

The eunuch: "Your Majesty, but you have only one person in your harem."

Ye Mian: "I'm a devoted and faithful emperor, the very model of a good man! A good man like me is sure to make a great impression on the male lead."

The eunuch stammers nervously. "That's because... um... you have a certain condition, and there's only one man in your harem, the Empress..."

Ye Mian: "...???"

This is bad. He's not only a villain, he's gay too. What a disastrous start!

Mu Feng is the son of the prime minister, a heaven-blessed prodigy and a paragon among men.

He had planned to take the imperial examinations and become an official, or enlist in the army and serve his country on the battlefield. But the foolish emperor Ye Mian took a fancy to him and forcibly brought him into the palace to be his empress.

The current emperor is said to be moody and ill-tempered. Now that he's entered the harem and must stay by his side, doesn't that spell the end of his future?

After entering the palace, Mu Feng happens to discover that the foolish emperor isn't as incompetent as the rumors claim.

Not only is he not cruel and tyrannical, he's diligent in government, cares for the people, treats the imperial family kindly, and especially favors Prince Han...

To survive here, Ye Mian works hard every day and constantly looks for chances to win the male lead's favor. Surely now nothing can go wrong.

But wait... How is his empress so handsome, so graceful and refined...?

Why does he seem even more like the male lead than the male lead himself?

Could Ye Mian have mistaken him for someone else?
