Blurb:
When Le'an was young, she was a beauty renowned throughout the land. But every beauty eventually grows old.
Now forty-one, she has outlived two husbands and three emperors. Young girls call her Ancestress, and people treat her as though she has one foot in the grave. Whenever writers and scholars mention her, they sigh over a beauty's decline, calling it a shame and a tragedy.
But Le'an doesn't feel as if she has one foot in the grave, nor does she think she's a shame or a tragedy.
She thinks she's in the prime of her life.
After all, she can still marry a handsome young man with red lips, pearly teeth, and elegant manners.
The young man's name is Sui Lu.
By the banks of the Sui River, a graceful white egret. A man of peerless beauty, unmatched beneath heaven.
At this year's Qujiang Banquet, Sui Lu made his first appearance and immediately captured countless hearts. The young women and men who liked him could have circled the capital a hundred times.
But no one expected a young man like him to stop Le'an's carriage and offer himself as her husband.
Le'an lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the young man's face.
She was momentarily blinded by his beauty.
She said yes.
As soon as the news spread, countless people tried to dissuade Le'an:
"He's only after your power. He doesn't have a shred of sincere affection for you!" So what if he is? I'm after his looks, too.
"Men all love them young. The moment you kick the bucket, he'll find himself a younger woman. You know that, right?" I do, of course I do. But once I'm dead, why should I care if he finds a young wife?
"He could be your son! Aren't you ashamed?" Your young mistress could be your great-granddaughter, and you don't look ashamed.
No matter what anyone said, Le'an was satisfied with this young man. Very satisfied!
After all, she wasn't looking for anything else. She just wanted him to be young, handsome, and well-built. What else mattered?
*
Sui Lu was only seventeen, yet he had already planned out the next hundred years of his life and firmly believed he would stay the course until the end.
And to achieve his goal...
He turned his gaze toward Princess Le'an, the woman said to hold power over all under heaven.
Sui Lu thought marrying the princess was a transaction. Each would get what they needed, and there was no question of love. He didn't know that one day he would tell someone,
"Don't wish me a long life of a hundred years. Wish me a long life of seventy-six years instead."
1. A long princess in the prime of her life x an ambitious, scheming young man.
2. A twenty-four-year age gap. If that's not your thing, please don't read!
3. The leads marry for mutual benefit. They have no feelings for each other at first, and their relationship is all for show, but it gets incredibly sweet later. The author is determined to write the sweetest romance ever!
Blurb for A Princess's Everyday Farming in Another World:
[Farm Life + Infrastructure Building + Food + Reverse Pursuit + All Love the Female Lead]
After transmigrating into a Western fantasy world as an imperial princess, Grey thought she had landed the script for "An Ordinary, Happy Life as a Princess."
Then her useless father kicked the bucket, her brothers and sisters were all killed by her uncle the regent, and Grey, the sole survivor, was ostensibly granted a title but actually exiled to a bitterly cold land. Only then did she discover that the farming game she'd played in her previous life had come with her.
So I'd gotten a farming-life script after all!
Her farming talent, etched into her DNA, awakened. Grey was fired up and rolled up her sleeves to get to work!
But one person's strength has its limits, and farming requires help. Fortunately, her thoughtful farm System had prepared everything in advance. For a small number of System points, she could draw a limited-edition farm assistant!
Grey drew Assistant A.
Assistant A was strong, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs. He looked like a natural-born farmer.
Grey handed Assistant A a hoe.
Assistant A tossed aside the hoe and dropped to one knee. "Your Highness, may I kiss your fingertips?"
Grey: ?
Grey drew Assistant B.
Assistant B looked frail, but the System said he had elven blood, was skilled in wood magic, and could improve crop varieties.
Grey handed Assistant B a foxtail grass stalk.
Assistant B tossed it aside, flowers blossoming at his fingertips. "Only flowers can do justice to your beauty."
Grey: ?
Grey drew Assistant C.
Assistant C was pale and gloomy, but the System said he was well versed in necromancy and could quickly and painlessly butcher the livestock on the farm.
Grey led Assistant C to the barn.
Assistant C: "...I love only the dead. If you're ready to become someone I love, then offer me your life."
Grey: ?!
What do you do when your hired hands won't work properly and spend every day trying to seduce their mistress?
Grey: Clearly, I haven't given them enough work.
-
Blurb two (from the assistants' perspective):
One day, this world's holy knights, Star Tower mages, necromancers, light elves, bards, and others were suddenly summoned to a farm.
There was a beautiful princess on the farm, and a voice told them that they had to win her over and make her fall in love with them to break free of the summoning and return to their original forms.
But there was only one princess.
What could they do?
Use every trick in the book to win her heart!
-
Blurb three (from the perspective of a great unlucky fool):
The regent who exiled Grey would occasionally think of the little princess.
A cold sigh would then slip from his lips:
"I should be hearing news of her death soon."
He imagined the little princess starving to death in the bitter wind, or, if she was unlucky, ending up in a magical beast's belly.
But at that very moment...
Outside, snow was falling thick and fast. Inside, the room was warm as spring, the fireplace blazing. The "poor" little princess was nestled in the fragrant arms of an elf, eating fried chicken and drinking cola, while a bard played music nearby.
After finishing the chicken, the little princess patted her belly. "Fried chicken really does get old if you eat too much. Let's have hot pot tomorrow instead!"
The knight wiped her mouth and agreed. The necromancer gave a cold laugh as he made the chicken bones disappear without a trace. "Overeating isn't good for you." The Star Tower mage cast a digestion spell.
Grey: ...Help me up, Your Highness can still eat a family bucket!
And so, an unknown time later...
The regent never did hear news of the little princess's death. Instead...
"Urgent report!"
"The commander of the holy knights, the Star Tower mage, the necromancer, the elf king, the bard, and the others have all come to propose to Princess Grey!"
A lighthearted wish-fulfillment romance, perhaps better titled A Report on the Compatibility of Farming Systems and Romance Systems.
Everyone has a one-sided crush on the female lead. She only wants to farm, so there will be plenty of competition among the men and catfights.

Although my wife's words were so gentle, they still hurt me deeply. Just like the one I read in "The Mary Sue" before, it was sour but satisfying, the kind of feeling that tugs at your heart, but you can only accept that this is indeed the most perfect ending. Lu was afraid that he would not be able to grow old together with the princess, so his wife let him grow old overnight. The princess wanted to spend 50 years with Lu, so his wife let the princess live to 74 years old. We can't imagine how Lu would survive after losing the princess, so the wife let them go and return together. Obviously these are the best endings, but my heart still hurts. Like the maid, I hate the 24 years that cannot be spanned, but what's the point? I know that even if there are 24 more years, I will not be satisfied. I only hate that they can't last longer, longer. But when I think back to their looks, in my heart, they have always looked like that. They looked like the two most beautiful faces in the world, and they were the most sincere people in the world. Perhaps, every moment in Qiongzhou is eternal.
Le'an and Suilu are both people with pure and passionate hearts. Because I have experienced suffering, I want to create a fairer and better world. This is exactly the opposite of Lu Xuanshen. Lu is a person who unfortunately wants to drag others into ruin. He is not the same kind of person. Even if there is no trick of fate, Le An will not fall in love with Lu. In the article, Le'an Suilu has been together for 33 years. Only the first one year or so is written in detail. The following 30 years in Qiongzhou are briefly mentioned. In fact, as aspiring politicians, the highlight of Le'an and Suilu's life together should be the 30 years they spent in Qiongzhou. Of course, this is mainly a romance novel, and it is actually quite difficult to write about the decades of political achievements in Qiongzhou, but such a plot arrangement makes people feel top-heavy, and the ending seems too hasty. Reading the copy, I thought the princess would live to be a hundred years old, and the two of them would live a magnificent life together until the end. As a result, I was caught off guard by the so-called candy wrapped in a knife. In fact, the author really wrote it that way, so that the two of them can stay with each other for a longer time. Some people may think that it is not "realistic", that is, they subconsciously think that even if two people with such a big age difference and status and are not accepted by the world get married successfully, it would be too fake if they live a happy life all the time, so it is "realistic" to have a knife at the end. But popular novels are originally a dream fabricated by the author for readers. Since it is a dream, why not make it a big one. What's more, some people who keep saying they are not "realistic" actually have double standards. In many novels, a man in his twenties who is a virgin and has no emotional experience is considered fake; the heroine is married and has to be forced to remain a virgin in order to be "worthy" of the hero. Sometimes what is called reality is actually the shackles of creation. The handling of this ending, how should I put it, is that in the process of reading the novel, I felt that the author seemed to be more and more susceptible to the influence of bad reviews, and wanted the story to become more "realistic". Although the direction of this story is not easy, the overall tone at the beginning is still positive. The further you go, the more tired and hasty the author feels between the lines. Reading the words, the author seems to be quite concerned about some people saying that this book is a code for wealth or something. But the author needs to be more confident in himself and the stories and characters he writes! Being able to keenly discover what readers want to see (the so-called wealth code) and construct a logical and self-consistent story to create vivid characters that readers like (love with huge differences in status and age based on like-mindedness) is a great talent in itself. Moreover, I found that the works of female authors are very demanding in terms of self-moral examination. In a Japanese manga I read before, the age difference between the heroine and the hero was 18 years. The author describes the relationship between the two in a very pure and beautiful way. Perhaps it is because of the constant controversy since the serialization began. Although many readers left messages hoping that the two would be together, the author still chose to compromise. In the end, the story ended abruptly before the confession was announced. In fact, reality is already so "realistic", and it's really frustrating to see such "realistic" plots in the story.
I'm very grateful. The world she writes makes me feel that love is something I can wait for slowly. My thoughts and ideas may be the same. We are our best selves at all times. We always embrace enthusiasm and always adhere to our ambitions. We don't regret anyone we fall in love with, it's all our precious experiences, but we can openly welcome the next new beginning. The ending of the princess and the consort is already great. Their ideals have been realized in the beautiful land of Qiongzhou, and they stay together and grow old together. It is not a pity that the princess did not have her husband-in-law for twenty-four years. She was fighting for her ideals. What a splendid life it was. It was never too late for her to meet her husband-in-law. I hope that when the next person sees this happy couple, they will not feel sad for them. The beautiful Qiongzhou is the witness of their love, and they have made Qiongzhou a success. We just want to give them our best wishes. Thanks for the written words
Uh-huh, I'm so,, crying,,, I didn't expect that the extra chapter was written about my death. Wuwuwu, I don't even think about it. It's too fast. Life is just a few decades. Wuwu, Wuwu, I won't live alone without you. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, help, help, help. The best ending for the princess and the prince-in-law is the best ending. Although I completely imagined it, a major transformation of Qiongzhou to make the people rich, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, we love each other and we'll stay together forever, we'll be together in the next life.
A very special article, unconventional
I cried like a dog. The 24 years that I will never be able to pass, even though they are quite perfect, I still feel uncomfortable (╯╰)
Woohoo, I can't help crying! I was deeply moved by their love. Thank you to the author for writing this article. I have rarely cried like this after reading so many of them. I wonder if Suilu, before his hair turns white, is like giving his longevity to the princess? So they went together. I made up a picture in my mind. Heron said: In the next life, I will run! Run to you as quickly as possible!
I ended up crying. I cried at the end. The 24 years between them were empty. I'm so sorry. I cried so loudly.
My reading experience before reading the ending is that this article tells the story of a woman in the center of power who changes her track and rediscovers the value of life. It is a great heroine story. Unexpectedly, it is not only that, it is also a 24k true love story. As the text says, it is a truly sweet story. Anyone who has read the last chapter will understand (secretly wiping tears)
It's so beautiful. I really like this couple. I really yearn for such a love. Woohoo.
