A Pillow Beneath the Spring Moon

Updated at midnight

Yu Mianmian is one of the most beautiful women in the capital, but she's also a frail little invalid, pampered by the General Who Protects the Nation's household.

Who could have guessed that when the new emperor chose his empress, the position would go to the Yu family? Before her wedding, everyone said that with Mianmian's frail constitution, she might never make it back, and would wither away in the depths of the palace.

A fortune-teller even declared that she was like willow catkins falling in spring, with little time left to live.

Yet after several years in the palace, this delicate, sickly beauty had not only regained her color, but also won the new emperor's exclusive favor.

The world envied her, praising the deep love between emperor and empress.

Only Mianmian knew that he treated her well in every way, except that he refused to spend the night in Qingyun Hall.

On a frosty night, Mianmian secretly read a little booklet, then gritted her teeth and threw herself at the emperor as he hurriedly tried to escape. “Y-Your Majesty, I'm cold.”

Shen Zhan was about to get married when he somehow took a fall. After waking up, he suddenly became extremely anxious about the wedding he hadn't cared much about before. He even personally checked the already-prepared Qingyun Hall several times.

This table corner is too sharp. That cushioned stool isn't soft enough.

He even inspected each piece of intimate clothing sent over by the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau, then shook his head and sent them back. “Mianmian is delicate. Replace them with light cloud gauze.”

In his previous life, he realized his feelings too late. He didn't know how to win her favor, and simply waited foolishly, unaware that the little girl who had been waiting for him would catch a chill while pregnant, fall gravely ill, and die. Only then did he understand: he had treated her as a pawn, while she had offered him a sincere heart.

He died in despair, never imagining that when he opened his eyes again, he would return to the days before their wedding.

From then on, he stayed by her side every day, restraining himself even as his feelings grew. He watched as the beauty's health steadily improved.

But who could have guessed that this spoiled little thing would get the wrong idea and secretly plan to hold a selection to expand his harem?

Yu Mianmian: Sob, His Majesty doesn't like me. I'm so sad. There are going to be other women in the palace.

Shen Zhan: ???

Coming soon: Reborn: The Moon Like Autumn

Yan Yiqiu only realized later that ever since that cousin, Miss Fu Yilan, came to live in the manor, she seemed to be having bad luck all the time.

It wasn't until the day Fu Yilan clutched her belly and tearfully asked if she could call her older sister that Yan Yiqiu realized her supposedly happy marriage was nothing but a joke.

Overcome with fury, she fainted. When she awoke, she had miraculously returned to the days just after her betrothal had been arranged.

To break off the engagement, she needed an extremely convincing reason. After all, her father only wanted her to find a suitable husband.

Time was short. Yan Yiqiu fixed her gaze on the young man who was staying at the Yan residence for some unknown reason and had won her father's favor: Gu Jun.

She was willing to pay him to put on a deeply devoted act, all she wanted was to avoid the disastrous marriage from her past life.

But Gu Jun was proud, so she'd have to handle him carefully.

She didn't expect the young man to agree as soon as she spoke, his expression cool. “All right.”

Yan Yiqiu, who had prepared several chests of gold and silver to persuade him with sincerity and reason: ????

#I get it, you're definitely broke!#

“Reader Huahua Is a Little Flower sent 1 Deep-Water Torpedo. The current mission has automatically changed from Escape to: Hug him with tear-filled eyes.”

“Reader Today Too Wants Sweetness sent 2 Deep-Water Torpedoes. The current mission has automatically changed to: Hug him with tear-filled eyes, cuddle!!! Host, complete it as soon as possible.”

Lin Taotao glanced at Shen Xingzhou, who was closing the door with a dark expression and slowly approaching her.

Oh no, isn't this just asking to die!
