Beautiful Dowager Empress (naive little immortal) * Young General (aloof Heavenly Lord) Yu Jing, the Matchmaker's prized disciple, receives a mission: help the Heavenly Lord Xie Xuan overcome his love trial. Yu Jing possesses the body of Sheng Hua, the recently deceased Dowager Empress. Meanwhile, Xie Xuan becomes the young master of the General of the Nation's household. Yu Jing keeps her mission firmly in mind: break up romantic pairs, protect the Heavenly Lord, and ascend as soon as possible. She manages to cut off Xie Xuan's ill-fated romance, but never expects the love trial to fall upon her instead. "Your Majesty." A young man's affection is impossible to hide. Every time Xie Xuan calls to her, his love seems ready to spill out. Because of the love trial, Yu Jing has no choice but to harden her heart and crush Xie Xuan's sincere feelings with her own hands. When Xie Xuan dies before her eyes, Yu Jing's heart of stone somehow feels a pang of sorrow. Yu Jing remains heartsick for quite some time after returning to the Heavenly Court! The Matchmaker tells her that she's fallen for Xie Xuan, and that all she needs to do is ask the Supreme Lord Lao for a cup of Forgetting Water. But just as she gets the water from the Supreme Lord and is about to drink it, a familiar voice sounds beside her ear. "You hurt this lord. Do you think a cup of Forgetting Water can make us even?" Yu Jing gives a frightened shudder and stammers, "Then... should I drink two cups?" 1. One-on-one pairing. In the mortal realm, the female lead is not a virgin (the original Dowager Empress is not a virgin), while the male lead is. In the Heavenly Court, both leads are virgins. Please read with care if this bothers you! 2. The mortal realm has a tragic ending; the Heavenly Court has a happy ending. 3. There is a nine-year age gap in the mortal realm: the male lead is 18 and the female lead is 27. Blurb revised August 24, 2022 "Raising a Frail Prince" Lin Yuan is assigned to the least favored prince. She never expected that Ying Huaixu, despite being a prince, would live worse than even a servant like her. Bullied and humiliated at every turn, he reminds Lin Yuan of her own younger brother, and she begins to soften toward him. She takes him to play in the imperial garden, makes him longevity noodles on his birthday, sews him warm clothes in winter, and shields him whenever he is bullied... A prince is still a prince, after all. As Ying Huaixu grows older, everyone begins to address him respectfully as "Ninth Highness." Lin Yuan knows better than to overstep. Like everyone else, she calls him Ninth Highness. Hearing her voice, Ying Huaixu looks up at her pensively and asks in a wounded whisper, "Why didn't you call me Yanzhen today, Yuan Niang? Did I do something to upset you?" "No. I was just too familiar with Your Highness before..." Lin Yuan hasn't finished speaking when he interrupts her. "You've never been a servant to me, Yuan Niang." Ying Huaixu's voice is tinged with anger. Lin Yuan looks up and meets his gaze. Realizing what he means, her heart gives a jolt. Lin Yuan begins deliberately avoiding Ying Huaixu. He is a prince, while she is only a palace maid with no family background, and they are so far apart in age. No matter how she looks at it, they are not a suitable match. Ying Huaixu seems to notice her avoidance. One day, drunk and out of control, he kisses her. She says softly, "Ninth Highness, one day I will have to leave the palace and marry." "Marry whom? Lin Yuan, who do you want to marry? That poor scholar from the Imperial Academy?" He interrogates her in a harsh voice, then kisses her fiercely, until the taste of blood fills their mouths. Blood still stains his lips as he pants, speaking to Lin Yuan with near-satisfaction. "Yuan Niang, in this life, you can only marry me. You are the only one who can sit on the throne as empress, and the only one worthy of it!" Theme: Stay kind and keep loving life, and your efforts will surely be rewarded!
