Coming soon: "Girl, I Cultivate the Heartless Dao." Blurb below. Please add it to your collection!

[Female-dressed-as-a-man top scholar x Powerful regent]

A frail scholar who coughs every few steps vs an ambitious, cunning, formidable general

[The male lead's version]

In his previous life, Xie Yunxiao monopolized the government and held power over the entire court. As regent, he seized the throne from his young nephew, only to ultimately die at the hands of a woman.

She wasn't some seductive beauty who brought ruin to the kingdom, but the only teacher his young nephew had ever had: the first woman in history to become a powerful court official.

For ten years, they struggled against each other in the court and the palace, locked in fierce opposition.

As he died, he thought: So, the thing he'd spent his whole life trying to conquer wasn't the kingdom, but that woman.

*

Reborn, he returns to the moment he first met Liu Heqing. This time, Xie Yunxiao decides to fight her in a different way

He helps her root out corrupt officials and traitors, and helps her rise through the ranks. He shields her from drinks at a perilous Hongmen banquet, and waits at the palace gates with an umbrella on rainy nights to escort her home.

He disguises himself as the upright gentleman she most admires, so he can earn her trust, sympathy, and love, and become her "lord" before his young nephew can.

He also wants to enjoy the sight of this once-cold, heartless enemy falling in love, suffering the foolishness of being ruled by emotion, and looking anguished after being betrayed and deceived.

He wants to use her to ascend the throne, and to drag her down into the mortal world. He means to tame her like a hawk

Never imagining that, in the end, he would be the one who was truly tamed.

-

The young lady of the palace, dressed in a crimson robe embroidered with cranes, had willow-leaf brows and peach-blossom eyes. As before, she smiled carelessly. "Congratulations, Your Majesty. You sought the kingdom, and now you have it."

"No, no." Xie Yunxiao stumbled down from the dragon throne and called her by her childhood name in a hoarse voice. "I don't want the kingdom anymore. I won't seek the throne again! A Qing, all I want is you... I mean it."

She only gave a faint, dismissive smile. "Your Majesty's sincerity is something I dare not believe again."

For some reason, Xie Yunxiao felt as if he were the one whose heart had been cut out.

[The female lead's version]

The celebrated Little Lord Liu of the capital was the third-place scholar of the eighteenth year of Qingyuan. He had an astonishingly handsome face and was usually seen with a gentle, smiling expression.

Corrupt officials and powerful ruffians saw him as if he were the King of Hell, while the noblewomen of the capital all dreamed of him as their ideal lover.

Few people knew that "he" was a woman.

Little Lord Liu could solve cases and write essays; she could heal the sick and save lives, as well as wield a spear and practice martial arts.

What she loved most was climbing onto the roof on nights with wind, wine, and moonlight, then gazing toward the grandest and tallest palace hall in the imperial city.

"Tell me, if I sat in that seat, would the world be different?"

PS:

A tangled romance across two lifetimes, with love and rivalry, schemes and sincerity.

This is mainly the story of a lovesick dog of a man who returns to life and tries to scheme against and take revenge on a career-minded girl, only to keep saying one thing and doing another, fall in love without realizing it, and end up suffering miserably as a lovesick fool.

One-on-one, SC, HE! Overall, it should be a sweet romance. ///v///

Coming soon: "Girl, I Cultivate the Heartless Dao"

Mo Xiaocue is a rogue immortal, born without emotion and always regarded by her fellow immortals as a heartless monster.

One day, after stabbing some scumbag of a deity, she is cast by the Heavenly Emperor into the Prison of Reincarnation to suffer through a hundred lifetimes. To earn her freedom, she must win the love of the male lead in each life.

And so

[The Cultivation Reincarnation of More Children, More Blessings]

Prison Warden: "Follow the red string of fate. You need to have a bunch of babies with the male lead, who cultivates the Heartless Dao, then have him stab you with his sword and abandon you without mercy. You and the children will become the greatest stepping stones on his path to enlightenment! More children, more blessings, right? The more children you have, the more love you'll collect. Got it?"

Mo Xiaocue nodded firmly. "Got it!"

And then

The beautiful young woman lifted the handsome young man's chin, gazing into his reddened eyes as he begged for her love. She patted his waist gently and breathed into his ear flirtatiously. "Senior Brother, give me another baby~ The more babies we have, the more I'll love you~"

The Prison Warden went berserk. "You're supposed to have the babies, not the male lead! If his Dao heart crumbles, who's going to ascend to immortality?"

Mo Xiaocue: "Me!"

[The Empress's Reincarnation of Tears Worth Their Weight in Gold]

Prison Warden: "You're the childhood sweetheart and empress of an emperor. You do everything you can to help your husband, but he never stops suspecting you. The emperor torments you a thousand times over, and you still love him as if he's your first love. Ten years after you die with grievances in your heart, the emperor finally understands your sincerity and sheds a single tear at your grave. Tears shed from genuine emotion are the truest proof of his love for you!"

Mo Xiaocue suddenly understood. "So! I need to make him cry for me?"

And then

On the new emperor's wedding night, while the hours of bliss were still young, just as the emperor was overcome with passion, the empress shoved him hard onto his back. Mo Xiaocue held up a bottle in front of him. "Your Majesty, cry for me?"

The emperor flew into a rage, swept out of the room, and declared that he would never set foot in the empress's chambers again. Yet later, on one silent night after another, he would kneel beside the young woman's bed, heartbroken, and humbly beg forgiveness, only to hear her impatiently order him around and coax him perfunctorily: "Cry a thousand tears, and I'll love you again."

The Prison Warden pounded the ground. "Damn it! You're supposed to move him to tears, not make him cry by tormenting him!"

[The Human- and-Yaoguai Romance Reincarnation with a Substitute]

Prison Warden: "You're the human apprentice whom the Fox Lord of Qingqiu took in. You cultivate for five hundred years just to gain immortality and stay by his side forever, but he sees you only as a substitute. Only after you cut out your own heart to revive his beloved does he realize that you were his true love all along. Is there any love story more moving than willingly giving up your own heart?"

Mo Xiaocue's eyes filled with tears. "There isn't!"

And then

On a silent moonlit night, the young woman twirled a lock of the young man's silver hair around her finger. She stroked the great fox demon's soft ears as if soothing a child, then smiled softly. "Master, are you really willing to cut out your heart to save me? Even if you save me, I still won't love you. I want to live forever with the person I love. You're just a substitute. Are you still willing?"

The Prison Warden broke down. "This is madness! I must be the one who's gone mad! Who's the substitute here? Who's giving up their heart?"

[In a nutshell]

This is a contest called love: the beloved rises to the heavens, while the admirer kneels as a prisoner.

Take the male leads down the road of melodramatic romance, and leave them with nowhere to go!

Theme: As the great house collapses, I will stand alone as its supporting pillar.
