What a Fine Display of Official Authority, Lord Gu

[Coming soon: The Empress and His Majesty Are Just Like Siblings. The blurb is at the end. If you're interested, sweet readers, feel free to add it to your collection!] Blurb: Gu Luozhi's father died young. To keep the family fortune from falling into the wrong hands, her mother had her disguise herself as a man, and she spent three whole years as Lord Gu. Lord Gu and the Grand Tutor were at odds in court. They often argued, and in the eyes of the ministers, they were enemies. That is, until one day, the Grand Tutor's third younger brother eloped with Lord Gu's half-sister... Given the relationship between the heads of their families, this star-crossed couple would never be allowed to be together. Everyone in the capital waited to see how it would end. Then, one day, they suddenly heard that Lord Gu and the Grand Tutor were together. Everyone: ????? [Little scene] Night watchman: "I stepped outside and saw Lord Gu kissing the Grand Tutor. The world's gone mad!" Gu Luozhi: "You mean, 'the world has gone mad.'" Night watchman: "Right, the world's gone mad. See? Lord Gu admitted it." Gu Luozhi: "..." The news spread throughout the capital. Gu Luozhi: "I'm going to write the word 'miserable' on your leg." The Grand Tutor smiled and caught her fingertip. "Why not choose another word and write it over my heart?" Gu Luozhi blushed instantly. Reading guide: 1. The joke in the blurb was inspired by a Stephen Chow movie. 2. A sharp-tongued, argumentative censor who disguises herself as a man x a scheming Grand Tutor who's not what he seems. Sweet readers, take a look at the upcoming story The Empress and His Majesty Are Just Like Siblings! Synopsis: Chu Yue has been in a bad mood lately. Whenever they're at court, his empress keeps looking at the handsome, elegant young ministers, and he's terribly jealous. Chu Yue tells Qi Fengguang how unhappy he is. The empress raises an eyebrow and looks at him oddly. "Didn't you say you only saw me as a brother? Why do you care who I look at?" His Majesty is furious. "Who said I only saw you as a brother?" The empress's expression is calm. "Oh, I got it wrong. You said that in our previous life. You haven't said it in this one yet." Chu Yue: ??? Qi Fengguang and Chu Yue grew up together and were as close as could be. They often joked with each other: "You'll always be my good brother." "You'll always be my good sister." It was only when she was dying that Qi Fengguang realized she had been joking, while Chu Yue had meant every word. After being reborn, Qi Fengguang comes to terms with it and decides to stop loving Chu Yue and truly be his "good brother." But Chu Yue no longer wants to be her "brother." How could that be? She's a woman who keeps her promises. If she said forever, then forever it is. Not a single moment less. Chu Yue: ... [Little scene] His Majesty: "Before I die, there's just one thing I want to know. How do you see me?" The empress pats his hand. "You'll always be my good sister." His Majesty closes his eyes and his head droops. The empress: "You don't want to be sisters? Then we can be brothers instead." His Majesty stops breathing. The empress: "You don't want to be brothers either? Then let's try something else. How about husband and wife?" His Majesty springs upright. "I've come back from the dead! I've come back from the dead!" Theme: A good official is loyal to the emperor and loves the country.
