★New Novel: The Substitute Princess Is a Charming, Powerful Tragic Beauty. The full novel is now complete. Feel free to visit the author's profile to read it. Hearts to all my lovely readers!
*Blurb* The authorized version is available only on Jinjiang Literature City.
Gu Qin Ci loathed the eldest princess of Chaoge, who had ruined his future and persecuted loyal subjects.
When he saw her lying injured in bed after an assassination attempt, he heard the imperial physician shake his head and sigh, "No medicine can cure her."
Even that was not enough for him. He wished there truly were no cure for her.
He could hardly wait for her to die.
When Ning Fu Shu opened her eyes, she discovered she had transmigrated into the history of the Great Chu Dynasty, becoming its most revered and privileged regent princess.
Her consort stood beside her bed with a bowl of medicine, his expression cold and his eyes as dark as ink. He seemed unwilling even to feed it to her.
As she stared in bewilderment, a System voice suddenly sounded in her mind: "Gu Qin Ci's corruption level is sixty-five!"
As the old saying goes: In troubled times, one should strive merely to survive, without seeking fame among the lords.
Ning Fu Shu's situation was much the same. With the System's prompts, she worked hard to lower Gu Qin Ci's corruption level.
Day one of winning him over: Gu Qin Ci's corruption level is seventy-five!
Day two of winning him over: Gu Qin Ci's corruption level is eighty-five!
With her life nearly at an end, Ning Fu Shu decided to let loose...
On day N of winning him over, Gu Qin Ci suddenly pulled her into his arms, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
He pointed at the musician who was trying to curry favor with Ning Fu Shu. His voice, heavy with suppressed anguish, echoed again and again as he pressed her:
"Your Highness, between him and me, who does it better?"
"Your Highness, I have thrown myself into your arms. Do you want me?"
He could no longer bear to see her entangled with anyone else.
On some later day of winning him over, the System's highest-level alert blared: "Warning! Warning! The Consort's corruption level has suddenly surged to ninety-nine! Gu Qin Ci is coming with shackles!"
Ning Fu Shu gazed at Gu Qin Ci's nearly frenzied, obsessive eyes and heard him laugh softly. "Your Highness, do you know that every moment, I want to hide you away, so you will never smile at any of them again?"
At first, he hated her. He wanted to torment her, make her suffer and beg for mercy, and drag her down from the clouds where she stood above all others into the dirt and mire.
Later, he loved her. He wanted to possess her, prayed she would pity him, begged her to redeem him, and would worship her as she stood atop the clouds, revered by all the people for a thousand generations.
★Reader's Guide:
① An alternate-universe transmigration setting with many fictional elements.
② One-on-one romance, both leads sexually inexperienced. A proud, dignified, and powerful eldest princess who holds sway over the court vs. an obsessive, lovesick, jealous, proud, and tsundere consort who seems gentle but has a dark side. Neither lead is perfect, and both will gradually grow!
③ Content note: The romance will be sweet in the middle and later parts, but this is not a face-slapping power fantasy. The heroine ascends the throne and becomes empress by the end, and the hero is her one and only imperial consort.
1. This novel is not written to cater to fans of the heroine. She has no golden finger, and there is no face-slapping power fantasy. Readers who only want a power fantasy should take note. The heroine will go from struggling to adapt to transmigration to adjusting to her new era, and from enduring setbacks to finding the right path. In the author's view, no matter what dimension a world occupies, its underlying principles are like scientific research and innovation: failure is an essential step on the road to success. Readers who cannot accept the heroine experiencing setbacks should take note.
2. This novel is not written to cater to fans of the hero, either. He also has no golden finger, and there is no face-slapping power fantasy. He is an obsessive, tsundere character who goes mad for love and becomes fixated on romance, and who will risk everything and burn his bridges for his beliefs. In short, he is a little crazy and a little doglike. Readers who require the hero to be mature and level-headed should take note. Although the novel has a plot, at its heart it is a romance, with plenty of sweetness starting in the VIP chapters. Readers who prefer the heroine to remain single should take note.
3. The author writes only from an omniscient perspective, without favoring any character or emotionally identifying with them. Likewise, reading from a purely rational, omniscient perspective should better suit the style.
4. The authorized version has undergone substantial revisions and differs from pirated copies. Please do not read an abandoned plot in a pirated version and then criticize the authorized version. Inappropriate comments with inflammatory language will be handled according to the rules.
④ Free extras and character art for the hero and heroine are also available on the author's Weibo: @Shi Mu Xing Ye Ya

*Completed novel on the author's profile: The Charming Princess Begins and Ends Without a Care*
In Great Liang, twin princesses were born with peach-blossom faces and peerless beauty. They were the cherished loves of noble young masters, who would rather abandon their official careers than give them up.
Sadly, the elder princess was married off to a distant land for the sake of her country. The young masters who had once flocked around her to win her favor then began gathering around the second princess, Jiang Cheng Xue.
As soon as Jiang Cheng Xue transmigrated into the story, she found herself in the middle of a battlefield of jealousy: four noble young men had each picked a flower and were vying to give it to her.
She simply smiled brightly, accepted all four flowers, and, with a suggestive air, raised her hand to pin one atop each man's head. Her phoenix eyes flickered. "Four gentlemen, wearing flowers in your hair, do not disappoint me."
Having read the original story, Jiang Cheng Xue knew these shallow, doglike men merely saw her as a substitute for her elder sister.
They not only tried every means to make the original heroine imitate her sister's mannerisms, but later coaxed and tricked her into going to the Xiongnu, where they threw her onto the bed of an aging khan, exchanging her for her sister.
Jiang Cheng Xue sneered. So they all liked playing with substitutes?
Then why not see who would end up substituting for whom...
The flirtatious young marquis thought he had captured Jiang Cheng Xue's heart, only to discover she had started asking him about the preferences of his cousin, the prime minister, whose appearance resembled his by thirty percent.
The cold-hearted prime minister thought his schemes were flawless, only to realize Jiang Cheng Xue had revealed his plans at court to the regent, whose personality resembled his by thirty percent.
The cunning regent thought his military might would let him obtain anything he wanted, only to discover that Jiang Cheng Xue seemed to like the voice of his nemesis, the young general, whose voice resembled his by thirty percent.
The straightforward young general laid his sincere heart before Jiang Cheng Xue, only to discover that the princess smiled brightly at everyone, while she was coldest of all to him.

Woo woo woo, I hope the princess and the prince will always be happy and healthy.
The author's writing is really good. The male protagonist respects the female protagonist very much. The female protagonist is not stupid and sweet. They are each other's armor. Why do so few people read such a beautiful article?
The sparseness of the cover gives me the feeling of a gorgeous female general (drooling). They are still in love after two thousand years. It's really beautiful.
It's so beautiful, I chased it all night
It took me four days from Monday to Thursday to read the main text, and on Friday I read all the extras. These past few days have been full of worries. Apart from eating and sleeping, I have spent all my time reading novels and have no time to do anything else. And now I am stuck in the emo mood of having just finished reading a story. I always don't hope that the story I like will ever be completely finished. I hope that there will always be extra chapters to watch them experience various lives, special festivals, or warm daily life.
I remembered writing a book review because I watched the extra chapter of the modern chapter and saw the author saying that he was overwhelmed by the modern words he wrote before and couldn't write the modern words. I felt a little cute for some reason, hahaha. In fact, I feel that the ancient proverbs are so well written that the descriptions, adjectives, and sentences in the modern chapter are all tainted with the flavor of ancient proverbs, so I feel that there are some inconsistencies, hahaha. At the same time, there may be a reason why the characters are so well created. If you close your eyes, you can see in your mind the rebellious young general, Gu Qinci in black clothes with a high ponytail; and the bright and flamboyant eldest princess Ning Fushu in red clothes, as if these are the real them.
But I feel that the main text of Dada's ancient words is really well written. The ancient words themselves are more deviated from the language used in daily life. I feel that it should be more difficult to write. At least it requires a deep knowledge. Not to mention the words and poems that Dada used in the article are very comfortable to read. In many places, I even feel that the contrast is neat. In many places, it feels like reading a good poem.
Even if you put aside the writing style, this story is still a very good one. The plot is compact and interlocking. It really makes people want to read it in one sitting... I think works that can do this are quite rare. The plot development of some works is rather slow, and I may not want to pick it up again after I put it down. . I've been a bit picky about reading books lately, so it's hard to find books that suit your taste. After all, I still feel very reluctant to let go. I can't wait to see the ending, but I don't want to let it really end. Thank you to the author~ for bringing such a thoughtful work
After staying up all night chasing after the princess who didn't change the core, I feel that Henan is really sad. She believed in her younger brother and paved the way for her younger brother. In the end, her younger brother reused her and eradicated dissidents. I can only say that it is the most ruthless emperor's family. The author should have laid the groundwork at the beginning. If there was really a deep love between brother and sister, the younger brother would not let the history books slander his sister like that. It is really not worth it for the eldest princess who did not change the core. There is no one around who can truly trust, and everyone around her is complaining and hating her.
Very warm and sweet, I like it very much
I really like the story of Gu Gou and Shushu~
Woqu, I chased it all in one go. I really like it.
