She Became Emperor After She Transmigrated to a Chaotic Age

[This book will be taken down once its time is up. While outlining it, I was careless and neglected the female lead's characterization, leaving it far more superficial than the male lead's and the other male characters'. I had a very hard time writing it and kept feeling as if I was writing their story, while the female lead was just a camera or screen through which to show their story. Later, I reworked the outline and fleshed out her character, but revising it would mean rewriting from Chapter One. I write slowly, so after much consideration, I've decided to take the book down for now. I'll keep the new outline and, if I have time later, reopen the story and meet you all again. I'm sorry!] Blurb: Zhao Qi carries a blood feud. As the royal house declines, the lords and nobles stir, and a new force rises. Zhao Qi seizes the opportunity to join Prince Xiang's faction, devoting himself to serving him without asking for any high office or generous reward. All he wants is the head of a member of the Wenren royal family. After three years of devising strategies for Prince Xiang, Zhao Qi is still waiting for the Xiang army to attack the capital when Prince Xiang knocks him unconscious with a scheme and presents him to the commander of the unstoppable army advancing from the south. That night, Zhao Qi is bound hand and foot, stripped completely naked, and thrown into a military tent. Half-conscious, he hears someone outside ingratiatingly say to someone, "General, everything is ready!" Jin Shu is at a loss for words. That day, she got drunk and thought she had returned to the apocalypse, just as a young soldier beside her asked what she liked to eat. In her haze, she seemed to have said the words "fried chicken." Jin Shu had struggled to survive in the apocalypse for years, honing zombie-killing skills unmatched by anyone. Then one day, someone handed her a piece of fried chicken she had never tasted before. Jin Shu choked to death on it. And then she ended up here... Thinking of this, Jin Shu looks at the man standing before her with nothing on and earnestly explains, "My subordinates misunderstood. You aren't what I wanted to eat." Zhao Qi, bound tightly from head to toe: "...General, please lend me some clothes so I can cover myself." Jin Shu's eyes silently sweep over a certain part of him. After a few seconds, she nods. "It really should be covered up." Zhao Qi: "..." A ridiculously powerful heroine vs. her physically feeble husband Content warnings: one-on-one, both leads' first relationship, female-dominant and male-submissive romance, the heroine focuses on her career, the hero pursues revenge, and he has little presence early on. #I only wanted some fried chicken. How did I end up becoming emperor? # #By her side as she rises to the very top# #Chancellor by day, still chancellor by night# Coming soon: The Everyday Life of a Laid-Back Stepmother Blurb: In her previous life, Wen Ye had worked hard to become a company director. Then a car accident sent her to be reborn as a concubine-born daughter in a prominent ancient family. After learning the truth, Wen Ye completely gave up trying. She wanted no part in household intrigues or fighting for favor. All she wanted was to lie flat and be a lazy fish, rolling over once in a while. The result of lying flat was that, nearly twenty years old, she still had no marriage proposals. Her mother grew anxious and pleaded with the legal wife. Her usually strict stepmother gave Wen Ye three choices: One: a newly graduated jinshi. Two: her stepmother's cousin, born to a concubine. Three: a widowed Vice Minister of Justice with a son. Wen Ye thought it over for a month and finally chose the third. When her mother heard, she took Wen Ye's hand and fretted. "Being a stepmother is hard these days. Why put yourself through this? That new jinshi seems like a good choice to me." Wen Ye swallowed the last bite of her mung bean pastry. "That new jinshi has a cousin from the countryside he grew up with." Her mother faltered. "Then there's your stepmother's cousin..." Wen Ye took another sip of tea. "His family is too crowded. He's got two mothers-in-law alone." Besides, there were so many concubines and secondary wives in every household. She couldn't be bothered to serve them. Her mother: "..." Wen Ye put down her teacup and continued, "The Vice Minister of Justice is different." Her mother: "How so?" Wen Ye: "His parents are dead, he has a car and a house, an older brother and sister-in-law above him, and a son below him. If I marry him, I won't have to run the household or bear children." "As for the little brat, I needn't worry about him either. As the saying goes, an elder brother's wife is like a mother. Lu is practically half the boy's grandmother." Her mother: "..." Lu, the sister-in-law, who was only twenty-five: "..." Reader's guide: one-on-one, both leads' first relationship. The son isn't the male lead, but his wife is the female lead. The heroine loves herself most and will not have children. Theme: Wherever you are, stay positive and strive to do your best!
