My upcoming story next door, The Concubine He Bought by Contract (Forced Possession), is open for follows~ The blurb is at the very bottom.
Blurb for this story:
Ever since Emperor Jingyuan ascended the throne, he has devoted himself to matters of state and shown little interest in his harem.
Until one day, as peach blossoms drifted down, he was inexplicably drawn into the peach grove, where he saw a breathtakingly beautiful woman trapped in a tree, her cheeks flushed and tears glistening like pearls. What a pitiful sight.

A Beauty of the Ninth Rank named Ji lives in the Jiangyun Pavilion beside the Cold Palace. Weak and sickly, without favor or influence, and with a timid disposition, she seems born to be bullied. Anyone can trample on her.
As Ji is on the verge of wasting away and disappearing into the vast harem, the other consorts look on coldly, mourning her fate as they would a rabbit's when a fox dies.
But in just a few days, she seems reborn, wins the emperor's favor, and rises swiftly through the ranks.
The consorts once thought Consort Xian was the very picture of imperial favor, the moonlight in the emperor's heart, treasured and cherished by him. Only later did they learn that next to his exclusive devotion, even great favor was nothing. Compared to it, it was like a paltry handout, worth not a penny.
--
The former Emperor Jingyuan: She's so delicate, so considerate, so deserving of pity. She can't live without me.
The later Emperor Jingyuan: I can't live without her.

A friendly reminder: This is a fictional setting with many original details and a plot that may defy expectations. Those who enjoy scrutinizing historical accuracy, please go easy on me.
Blurb for the upcoming The Concubine He Bought by Contract (Forced Possession):
Zhou Ran misses a step and, when she wakes again, finds herself a concubine contracted to the young master of the Qin family.
The young master, Qin, is married to Madam Wang. The couple are said to have been devoted to each other for years, but have no children, so the old madam came up with the idea of taking a concubine by contract. Zhou Ran is the unlucky one.
According to the contract, if she bears a son for the Qin family within three years, she'll receive a hundred taels of silver and be allowed to return home. That's enough for an ordinary family to live on for the rest of their lives.
But Zhou Ran, a modern woman, is firmly childfree. Have a baby? In her dreams!

Qin Zimo isn't fond of the idea of taking a concubine by contract, but his mother and wife force his hand, so he can only grit his teeth and accept. Whether he visits her room, though, is up to him.
He expects the rural concubine he bought by contract to be crude and uncouth, but one fleeting glance at her lively spirit changes his mind. Qin Zimo is tempted and comes to the concubine's inner room under cover of night.
On the first night, the woman blushes and says she's on her period and can't serve him. Qin Zimo believes her.
On the second night, the woman looks pained, holds her stomach, and says she may have eaten something bad. She cries and worries that he'll be angry, and Qin Zimo believes her again.
On the third night, the woman has a limp and timidly says she'll need a month to recover before she can get out of bed. Qin Zimo remembers seeing her laughing and kicking a shuttlecock around the courtyard during the day, and realizes she's treated him like a fool. With a dark expression, he undoes his belt.
He is utterly consumed by her.
Qin Zimo happily waits for her to bear him a chubby little boy, only to find countless bowls of contraceptive medicine hidden under the bed.
Qin Zimo wants to strangle her. His wife suggests replacing her with another concubine, but he politely refuses.
Let her go? What a joke.
Even if she dies, she'll die in the Qin residence.
Later, a great fire burns down the small courtyard. Qin Zimo gathers the charred fragments of bone, remembering the words he'd once spoken, and laughs and cries at once.
He breaks with Madam Wang. She can't understand: she's only a concubine. Qin Zimo weeps. Wasn't that exactly what he used to think? She's only a concubine. It takes losing her for him to realize that she is the one thing he can't bear to part with, the flesh of his heart.
He retreats to a monastery, praying only that she may find happiness in her next life.

What to Do After Becoming a Farm Girl
I'd give it two or three stars for sweetness in the early stages, but it's only when I finish more than 60 photos that I feel the sweetness is high. What I didn't like in the early stage was that I felt that the Emperor's hands were too short and too gentle. Even the concubines in the harem felt overwhelmed. Only about 60 chapters later, the methods became more severe. What I dislike the most is probably the emperor and his cousin Concubine Xian. Although I say it's not love, I definitely like it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tolerate everything. Still patient and coaxing. I feel like the male protagonist has a dirty heart. . It looks really angry. Later, when I watched the doting heroine, even though he said he had never slept with anyone else, there was still a shadow, and I felt that his heart was not clean. Being an emperor does not require you to be clean. After all, the heroine didn't show up, but at least I feel like my heart is clean
Very good, this Wan Tang is not Wan Tang, they are lovers who finally got married.
Very good, Sui Dingyan's Ji Watang is not in this world
The health inspector is also very pitiful. He could have been an official in the capital, but the old emperor sent him away due to his selfishness hahh
I really don't like the extra story between Wei Jian and Ji Watang. I feel it ruined the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
But it's not cruel, except for the emperor's early thoughts. Generally speaking, the male protagonist loves the female protagonist more than ever since he met her. It's nothing more than a little bit sweeter and more sweet. Still highly recommended. . . Looking forward to the author's next palace favorite novel
After "Spreading Flowers", do you really not consider writing about their modern married life? It can be vaguely mentioned that the male protagonist's bumpy dog food-flavored road to chasing his wife QAQ
Ouch ouch ouch ouch
Hahahahahaha, without Buntang, Sui Dingyan would not have Goose. Suddenly, I feel so sad.
I want to know who the father of the princess's child is
