Recommended new novel: A Concubine's Daily Life on the Run
Du Yuetang, a highly accomplished modern agricultural scientist, transmigrates into a novel about court intrigue and sweet romance as a cannon-fodder concubine with the same name.
In two days, rebel forces will breach the city. Her birth father treats her as worthless, and only reluctantly takes her and her beautiful twenty-fourth sister along. In less than six months, her sister will be offered up as a plaything. Three years later, Du Yuetang will take a fatal blow meant for her legitimate elder sister, the female lead, and may even lose her virtue.
Du Yuetang wants to live. She immediately packs up their money and flees with her five-year-old younger brother.
Just as she climbs over a wall, she lands on a little beggar.
Qin Xiao was kidnapped at the age of three and taken to Wuyuntai, where the royal family trained its elite assassins. When the world fell into chaos, he joined the rebel army, relying on his exceptional martial arts. Burning with courage and loyalty, he achieved countless feats despite his young age.
He even fought his way in and out seven times to save the commander's family.
But the young lord fell in love with a woman and was willing to give up five provinces and surrender his military authority for her sake.
As a trusted aide to the commander, Qin Xiao naturally aroused the young lord's suspicion, and was framed and killed in a gorge.
Reborn, the first thing he does is find and kill the temptress who brought chaos to the realm!
But as soon as he reaches the wall of the Qing Shi County Magistrate's home, someone climbing down from it knocks him unconscious.

This cousin is so unlucky. When I see him, I think of the beast named He and I feel a little sick.
It's not enough to cut this beast named He into pieces with a thousand cuts.
My cousin is like my grandmother
I wonder if Bai Yichu and Zhou Li are actually getting married?
Checking in, Wu Shuyu is a minor after all. Unfortunately, she has no nearby elders to guide and protect her, so she can only watch her destroy her future. Her uncle is also greedy for her family property, which is really unfortunate.
This He Wanyin is so perverted
He Wanyin is really endless, smelly and long-lived. Is there any point in arranging her to be resurrected several times?
I jumped to read it, it was too long [laughing and crying]
To avoid lightning coming later, the author wrote in the bg article that true love is between men.
Xiaoba is pretty awesome.
