Blurb:
Pei Ke, the son of a convicted official, once performed the coming-of-age ceremony for the Crown Princess and taught her about relations between men and women. He was lucky enough to survive, and was merely banished to the cold palace.
Three years later, the Crown Princess successfully ascended the throne as history's first empress. Only when the Ministry of Rites began arranging the imperial selection did they remember that he existed.
It is common knowledge that the ruler is weak and the ministers are powerful in this dynasty, with noble families vying for power. Every one of the empress's future consorts is ambitious, coveting her womb and plotting to change the dynasty without giving anyone cause to criticize them...
How can Pei Ke manage to die with a shred of dignity?
On the eve of the empress taking personal command of the court, she gave him a choice.
Situ Li: A white silk cord, a dagger, or arsenic?
Pei Ke: QAQ
Content warnings:
1. Entirely fictional setting. Please don't nitpick the historical details.
2. A career-minded heroine, a love-struck hero, and male supporting characters who are all schemers.
3. The hero is virtuous, but the empress has no scruples. Helping the idealized heroes of historical romances step outside their comfort zones.
4. The hero is a virgin, the heroine is not. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

Blurb:
Three years ago, the entire Feng family was convicted of a crime. The men were sent into exile, and the women were forced into prostitution. The one who delivered the imperial decree was Chang Zongze, the eldest Feng daughter’s fiance.
Feng Mei asked him, "After today, would you still be willing to marry me?"
Chang Zongze answered, "I would. I will never let you down, for all my life."
How tender and moving that promise was. Too bad the Chang family was behind the Feng family's downfall.
So Feng Mei stepped back, lowered her gaze, and bowed gracefully to him. "Thank you for your affection, my lord. But from now on, this humble woman may be kissed by ten thousand men. I would sooner marry a pig or a dog than marry you."
Three years later, Feng Mei has neither become a courtesan nor married a pig or a dog. Disguised as a man, she has become a famous constable.
Her very first assignment is to escort her former sweetheart, now her sworn enemy, all the way to the capital for execution after the autumn harvest.
Content warnings: Entirely fictional setting. The hero is devoted, the heroine is ruthless. An unconventional chase-and-reconciliation romance, with only the hero suffering. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending.
Theme: True feelings shine through the ordinary.
I looked at the time and realized it has been more than a year since I wrote this article! Although I don't know why Dada stopped updating, and I don't know when it will come back to update. It is more likely that this article has been deceived. To be honest, no matter what the situation is, I feel that it is a pity. This article is really well written. I have not seen a good article of the same type for a long time. The writing style and characters are all to my liking. Others of the same type either lack this or that, or they have a great beginning but are embarrassing later on. It is really a pity that it is not updated! I really, really hope that I can come back to update and finish this article.
Updated?!!!!!!
I finally came back from the big day! ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ It doesn't matter if I write slowly, and it doesn't matter if I take a long leave, as long as I don't ruin the character and the rest of the story doesn't end badly. An article I followed earlier collapsed like this ()
Are you delayed by something? The writing can take its time, as long as it doesn't end badly and the characters are broken, I hope you will be happy every day!
Xiao Xie is almost jealous to death! None of them are fuel-efficient lamps.
There are so many plots between the heroine and the hero, let's talk about the male protagonist... The heroine's heart was biased toward the hero from the beginning. It really felt too fast. The heroine's character is not a person who has a deep mind and wraps up her inner world. The relationship between the two of them was too fast.
Let Xiao Xie fight with them!
Since then, a new harem battle has begun
Don't be sad, Xiao Pei, you will definitely have a grand wedding!
May God bless silly little Pei to eat meat, and believers are willing to fast for two days, please!
