The Mu family of Jiangnan was richer than a kingdom and had one son and one daughter.
The Mu family's young lady, Mu Qingling, was breathtakingly beautiful, but fate was cruel to her. She was bedridden all day long.
The Mu family's young master, Mu Qingchi, was as handsome as a painting, yet spent his days at brothels and pleasure houses. He even owned a house of male courtesans.
People sighed over their misfortune, never knowing that the Mu family's so-called twins were both just Mu Qingling in disguise.
Mu Qingling had a fortune at her disposal and gathered handsome men from across the land. Using the identity of her deceased brother, she thrived in the Yangzhou merchants' guild.
Originally, she had planned to find a respectable man at her house of male courtesans, enjoy a night of passion, and have an heir.
By a twist of fate, she met the new master of Yangzhou: the Prince of Zhennan.
At first, they worked together, taking on the salt merchants, driving out pirates, and putting down rebels.
Later, Mu Qingling looked down at her bright red wedding dress and felt a pang of sorrow. Goodbye, my handsome men!
Pei Mingzhao had never imagined that he would dream about a "man."
The spring dream left no trace, but a seed of obsession had already taken root in his heart. Each time he encountered the "young man," that seed took root and grew, ever stronger...
Pei Mingzhao had "gone mad." He even secretly visited a male brothel just to prove to himself that he wasn't attracted to men.
But fate had other ideas, and he ran into the source of his nightmares at the brothel.
He pinned the terrified young master of the Mu family against the door and demanded coldly, "Why are you here?"
The "young man" blinked her bright eyes and answered honestly, "I'm here to do business!"
Content warnings:
The secret identity is revealed late.
The male lead keeps questioning whether he's gay. Once he learns the truth, he takes what he wants by force and watches coldly as his princess puts on daily performances of "multiple personalities."
Ending: Happy ending, both are virgins.

Chu Yueyuan was beautiful, with a slender waist and a generous figure. She was the second most beautiful woman in Qi.
The most beautiful was her half-sister, who shared the same father.
The sisters had similar tastes and competed over everything.
The good news was that her sister, famed as the most beautiful woman in Qi, caught the eye of the old emperor and was made a consort.
The bad news was that after giving the old emperor his only son, her sister died.
Soon, Chu Yueyuan was brought into the palace. On the wedding night of the emperor and empress, the Prince of Shu raised a rebellion and killed the old emperor with a single sword.
On the dragon-and-phoenix bed, Chu Yueyuan watched the Prince of Shu approach with a sinister grin, trembling as she clutched the golden phoenix hairpin hidden beneath her sleeve.
The next moment, blood seeped from the prince's chest, and he silently collapsed at Chu Yueyuan's feet.
When she looked up, she saw the man's exceedingly cool, aloof eyes.
Although the Prince of Zhenbei arrived too late to save the emperor, he protected the young crown prince. He became Qi's regent, while Chu Yueyuan became the youngest empress dowager in the kingdom.
After weathering countless storms, the puppet empress dowager wanted only to live in peace, until she discovered a shocking secret.
The late emperor suffered from an illness that made him incapable of fathering children.
So here's the question: who was the father of the child her sister left behind?
Chu Yueyuan remembered that her sister had once longed for a man she could never have. That man was none other than the regent, whom Chu Yueyuan now did everything she could to avoid.
Once doubt took root in her heart, she began secretly studying the man's refined features, straight nose, and thin, chaste lips in the imperial study... The more she looked, the more she thought the child resembled him.
"What are you looking at, Your Majesty?"
The man's rich, deep voice made Chu Yueyuan's ears turn red.
After testing the waters several times, Chu Yueyuan finally mustered her courage. She gently tugged at the man's python-embroidered sleeve and asked in a quiet voice, "Minister Pei, do you... want a child?"
Later, Chu Yueyuan realized she had made a huge mistake. All she could do was turn her attention to the civil and military officials at court, using her and her sister's similar tastes to test the eligible young men one by one.
One day, she invited the handsome young vice minister of revenue to play chess. The next, she summoned the elegant new top scholar to share a pot of fine tea.
That night, the regent forcibly trapped her on the phoenix bed. His eyes were dark, his voice hoarse. "Sister-in-law, didn't you want a child? I can give you one."
Chu Yueyuan: ...Minister Pei, you've got this all wrong.
Male lead's perspective:
At first, Pei Muwei treated the little empress dowager like a caged songbird. A pretty little bird would circle him, trilling sweetly and fluttering coquettishly, seeking to please him alone.
He thought that since life in the palace was lonely, there was no harm in the little empress dowager wanting a child.
Later, he learned that the little empress dowager was a pleasure-seeking bird who flirted with everyone, spreading her magnificent feathers and smiling like a flower.
How could he let her smile at anyone else?
#The treacherous minister calls her Your Majesty in public and sister-in-law in bed#
#How could I, the solitary one, harbor improper thoughts about that young woman#
#Pei Muwei, you've gone too far!#
Theme: Women should be self-reliant
The flowers are sprinkled at the end, so sweet!
It's so good www. Let's do some cub drama, ma'am! I want to see Tiantian's daily routine, woo woo woo
Child!!!! Baby!!!!
Nice! I want to see the cub episode, woo woo woo
Haha, it's really good. I finally finished reading it after a long delay~
... You stupid queen, please end it quickly. You did so much just to marry your daughter.
The queen is really in trouble. Not only does she not have a prince, but she also has an imperial concubine. Her position is unstable and she offends people everywhere???
I feel like Prince Tuoba will be Pei Gouzi's love rival?
It's a very interesting article, and the sc plot is also good. It's a pity that the ending is too rushed. I hope the author will add extra chapters. The logic of the plot makes sense, but the ending is open-ended? First of all, he has the destiny to control the dragon, but the male protagonist didn't become a dragon? If he doesn't become emperor, and if he doesn't become emperor, what will happen to his son? Their family is powerful and wealthy, so they must be feared by the new emperor...
It's good to read, the author should keep up the hard work∽
