The Substitute Princess Consort Escapes While Pregnant

Zong Yu spent his life on the battlefield, earning countless military honors, only to be betrayed by those he trusted, killed by a vile schemer, and left hanging from the city gate.

The people who had once raised their cups with him dared not come forward to retrieve his remains. Instead, his princess consort, whom he had neglected for years, rode out with a spear and stormed the enemy camp to bring his body back.

Reborn, Zong Yu returns to the day he defied the emperor's decree and refused to marry. The taste of blood is still fresh in his mouth as he accepts the imperial edict and says, "I'll marry her!"

The previous dynasty is in turmoil, and the emperor's maternal relatives hold power. To anyone with a discerning eye, this marriage arranged by the emperor is a political maneuver: using the empress dowager's family to restrain the prince who commands the army.

The Jiang family does not want their legitimate daughter to suffer, so they send Zong Yu the illegitimate daughter they raised elsewhere.

The girl is sickly and weak, wheezing after every few steps. She's mute, and could die at any moment.

When people outside hear about it, they can't help laughing as they wait to see Zong Yu made a fool of himself, guessing when his princess consort will die.

Zong Yu doesn't care what anyone else thinks.

He knows how wonderful his princess consort is.

The day he lifts her veil, he sees her lovely face, rosy as peach blossoms, smiling at him. All the resentment and fury he carried after being reborn are soothed.

His steel is tempered into silk. Today, he boasts to the emperor about the delicious food his princess consort made for him. Tomorrow, he shows his colleagues at the Ministry of War the jade pendant she gave him. The day after, he spars with his subordinates and brags about the new bracers she made.

He shows off from the court to the Six Ministries, like a peacock fanning its tail.

Then one day, he goes quiet as a mouse. Facing the empty room, he gives a cold laugh. "Jiang Jinnian, how dare you?"

Jiang Jinnian has always known he isn't like other people. The Jiang family treated him like a monster and abandoned him in a separate courtyard, then had him take his sister's place and marry someone for their own benefit.

But this person is Zong Yu. That makes all the difference.

Jiang Jinnian and Zong Yu grow close, and when their feelings deepen, everything falls into place. He nearly loses himself in their life of tenderness.

That is, until he begins to feel unwell. A trusted subordinate's congratulations jolt him awake, while Zong Yu, unaware of the truth, rubs his waist and teases him for putting on weight.

Jiang Jinnian doesn't have the courage to tell him the truth. On a moonlit night, he slips away into the darkness.

A few years later, he returns to the imperial capital under a new identity. A vast army surrounds him, led by Zong Yu, wearing armor with a long sword at his waist.

And in his arms... is the child who ran away from home with Jiang Jinnian.

Zong Yu smiles darkly. "I hear I abandoned my husband and child, and died young?"

Jiang Jinnian: ...I'm done for!

"The Villains Keep Trying to Steal My Master"

Tang Zeyu was transmigrated into by someone.

The transmigrator was a useless fool who did nothing worthwhile in his body. He neglected his cultivation, befriended a bunch of bad company, and dragged Tang Zeyu down from his position as the sect's top genius. All day long, he chased after a coward Tang Zeyu looked down on, acting like a lovesick dog until everyone in the sect knew about it.

Tang Zeyu, after reclaiming his body: "..."

A lovesick dog?

What a joke!

He's obviously a rabid dog.

A former defeated opponent kicks him while he's down, showing up at his door to humiliate him. "Crawl through my legs, kneel, and call me Grandpa three times, and I'll let you off."

Tang Zeyu rolls up his sleeves and beats the man until he flees, clutching his head and begging for mercy.

The coward the transmigrator had gone to such lengths to please treats Tang Zeyu like a moneybag, summoning him whenever he wants and ordering him around. "Why didn't you give me my spirit stones this month? Senior Brother Xiao likes the flute from Wanyun Market. Go buy it for him."

Tang Zeyu sneers. "Since you love begging so much, why not set out a bowl by the mountain gate? I'll be sure to bring people by to give you a good crowd."

A young master from a prestigious family, Tang Zeyu's equal in fame but always looking down on him, drugs him, hoping to make him disgrace himself in public. "Aren't you good at serving men? Why not give us all a show?"

This time, Tang Zeyu doesn't fight back. Instead, he hides behind his master and complains pitifully, "Master, can you help me?"

His master says with tender concern, "There's an antidote. Let me find it for you."

Tang Zeyu is dumbfounded: "..."

How can there be an antidote for this stuff?

Tang Zeyu's little plan to rebel against his master is snuffed out. He turns around and puts a love curse on the young masters, binding them to their sworn enemies so they can fight each other to their hearts' content.

The others have no way to deal with Tang Zeyu, so they angrily seek justice from his master.

Tang Zeyu immediately puts on an innocent, pitiful expression. "Master, they're bullying me. Look, they hurt me here."

Everyone: Bah, shameless! You just cut yourself. If you'd waited a little longer, it would've healed already.

His master smells blood and shields Tang Zeyu. "I believe you."

Tang Zeyu happily wags his tail and tells the complainers, "Get lost. My master has no time for you."

Watching the master who always takes Tang Zeyu's side, everyone curses under their breath: "What a faker, showing off like that. You'll get caught out sooner or later!"

"My Sickly Senior Brother Is Out of HP Again"

Wen Sheng transmigrates into a xianxia power-up novel. As soon as he joins the sect, he becomes the sect leader's disciple and is doted on by a formidable fortune-telling senior brother. He's set for a perfect life.

There's just one problem... Everyone in their sect, including Wen Sheng, is cannon fodder. They all end up dead, their souls scattered beyond recovery.

It's because the fortune-telling senior brother tells the protagonist: "Bro, I don't think your dad is your real father."

If their sect doesn't get wiped out after that, what sect will?

On his first day after transmigrating, Wen Sheng, elegant and refined, knocks on the sect leader's door while waving a fan. He politely and kindly explains that he wants to leave the sect that very night and get as far away from this unlucky place as possible.

But he fails.

Wen Sheng leaves the sect leader's room and runs into the fortune-telling senior brother. He's not quite like the one in the book. Dressed in white like fresh snow and wrapped in a fox-fur coat, he's a sickly beauty who never lifts a finger and knows nothing about the daily necessities of life. He eats pills like they're candy.

The fortune-telling senior brother makes a hand seal. "I see that your forehead is dark, junior brother. You may face a bloody calamity. There's only one way to avert it. Would you like to try?"

Wen Sheng is already annoyed and doesn't want to deal with him.

The fortune-telling senior brother adjusts his fox-fur coat and gazes at his handsome junior brother, smiling gently. "Isn't leaving the sect exactly how you plan to avoid this bloody calamity?"

Wen Sheng thinks the protagonist might really not be his father's son. This fortune-telling senior brother knows a thing or two.

So he presses him. "What's the method?"

The fortune-telling senior brother fixes his gaze on Wen Sheng's handsome face again and coughs weakly a few times. "Cultivate with me as a pair."
