The Noble Consort Is Done with This

[Female Lead's Blurb]

In her previous life, Ji Mingyi spent ten years as a high-ranking consort and ten years alone in an empty bedchamber.

To outsiders, her life looked splendid, but inside, she was withered and empty.

This time, she decided to live differently. There were plenty of men in the world, so why hang herself on just one tree?

There was the refined new top scholar, the dashing young general, and the son of a minister who had been her childhood friend. With so many big fish, which one should she catch?

[Male Lead's Blurb]

Lu Fei, reborn, had three goals:

First, to live a long life, the longer the better.

Second, to cure his unspeakable ailment so he could have heirs.

Third, to tell Ji Mingyi how he felt and keep misunderstandings from coming between them.

Everything went smoothly at first. But just as Lu Fei, now fully restored, was preparing to marry Ji Mingyi, he suddenly realized:

Wasn't there a few too many rivals he needed to get rid of?

[Reading Guide]

1. Fictional setting, no need to nitpick historical details. 1v1, each other's first love.

2. The style is somewhat humorous, not a serious historical drama.

Please add my upcoming historical romance, "The Wrong Room, The Right Groom," to your reading list. It's in my author page.

As the orphaned daughter of the late Eldest Princess, Ruan Suiyun had never enjoyed a moment of privilege. Her only goal in life was to find a peaceful, comfortable marriage.

However, despite dutifully serving Consort Hui and her daughter for ten years, in the end Consort Hui betrayed her, ordering her to go in her place as a bride in a political marriage to a man over fifty in the far north.

Ruan Suiyun was furious. If you won't show me any kindness, I won't show you any either. She set her sights on Consort Hui's only son and planned to get pregnant first, then make it official.

But once the stage was set and the show had begun, she discovered that she had slept with the wrong person. The one who came to meet her was the palace's least-favored Sixth Prince, whose mother was a foreign tribute maiden and who had no chance of ever rising to prominence.

Ruan Suiyun: ...What else can I do? I'll make the best of it.

Zhao Sui had pale violet eyes and had been considered a monster since childhood. He was used to keeping to himself and had never cared for anyone else's pity or favor.

But only he knew that the heart he had kept closed for so long had opened one day for a woman with a radiant smile. So when he learned of Ruan Suiyun's entire plan, Zhao Sui boldly drugged his beloved Third Brother and took his place.

One was bewitched by beauty, the other had fallen for her at first sight. From then on, they became the most loving couple in the palace.

Years later, Ruan Suiyun, now the new empress and mother of the realm, couldn't help asking him, "When the emperor arranged our marriage, I agreed to escape the political marriage. Why did you agree?"

Zhao Sui didn't tell her that he had never coveted the throne. It was only for her that he had set his sights on conquering the realm, becoming ruthless enough to kill anyone who stood in his way.

Their marriage had never been one of mere appearances.

A sweet 1v1 romance.

Theme: Cherish the happiness you have now, so you won't have regrets.
