Green Plums in the Forbidden Palace

Everyone in Beihuai knows that the imperial palace houses a princess from another kingdom, the childhood sweetheart of the current emperor.

They also know that Princess Yu'an and the emperor are astrologically incompatible.

Ever since they first met as children, the two have been at each other's throats, often raising such a ruckus that the whole palace is in an uproar.

Princess Yu'an, Meng Hongyu, figures she must have stolen Yan Yun's woman in a past life to have landed herself with this nuisance.

He gets on her nerves every day, and has even ruined several of her chances at marriage.

With no prospect of ever getting married, she thinks she might as well become a nun.

But that scoundrel Yan Yun actually follows her to the nunnery and, eyes red, says he wants to marry her.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Meng Hongyu spits out three words:

"Are you crazy?"

When Yan Yun is ten, he meets Meng Hongyu for the first time and thinks this little girl is as beautiful as a jade statue.

Too bad the pretty girl has a mouth.

That very day, in front of everyone, he swears that from now on he and Meng Hongyu will be sworn enemies.

When Yan Yun is thirteen, he discovers another side of Meng Hongyu for the first time.

That year, he also gets into a fight with someone for the first time.

All because that person made fun of Meng Hongyu.

When Yan Yun is eighteen, now an emperor, he proposes to her at a nunnery.

When Meng Hongyu asks why, he answers frankly:

"I'm sick. I've been sick for a long time because of you."

-------- Coming soon: Please add to your favorites, The Villain Stole My Script --------

Cen Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book.

Going by the usual rules, she should nudge the plot along in a world of immortal cultivation, play a bit part, and maybe fall in love along the way.

But her System doesn't play by the rules. On her very first day after transmigrating into the book, it throws the original novel right in front of the villain, Yuchi Qin...

Everyone else gets a golden finger that lets them see the future.

Cen Xiaoxiao is the only one who has to ask the villain what happens in the plot and teach him simplified Chinese characters!

Her life is just too hard!

Everyday life after her script gets stolen:

Yuchi Qin draws his sword: "The second male lead will cripple my cultivation? I'll go kill him."

Cen Xiaoxiao: ...

Yuchi Qin draws his sword: "The male lead will kill me? I'll go kill him."

Cen Xiaoxiao: ...

Yuchi Qin draws his sword: "I'll fall hopelessly in love with a woman? I'll go kill her."

Cen Xiaoxiao: ...

Yuchi Qin kills people with ease, while Cen Xiaoxiao struggles to save them.

After a series of maneuvers, Cen Xiaoxiao successfully saves all the big shots from the original story and takes the original male lead's place, earning their support and rising to the position of Immortal Venerable.

At that point, the plot completely falls apart!

After becoming the Immortal Venerable, Cen Xiaoxiao chooses to lie flat and wait for Yuchi Qin to remove her final obstacle: the title of "Immortal Venerable."

But the usually arrogant Yuchi Qin sets down his sword and pulls her into his arms.

"Be good. We don't do domestic violence."
