After My Nemesis Discovered I Was Disguised as a Man

Blurb: A woman disguised as a man + a forceful, possessive romance Cool and aloof woman disguised as a fake crown prince x insane, sinister, ruthless rebel king The Yan dynasty should have fallen long ago. The common people thought so, and even the crown prince of the Yan clan agreed. To secure her position, Yan Shi was raised as a boy by her mother from the day she was born. Even after she was named crown prince, no one saw through her disguise. She was a tool her mother used to secure her position, and evidence of her ambitions to meddle in the affairs of state. When the emperor fell gravely ill and the crown prince took charge of the government, Yan Shi became a puppet in every sense of the word. Looking back, the happiest days of her life were when she went to Jianghuai to oversee disaster relief. Though she was nearly killed in an assassination attempt, at least she was free of her mother's endless schemes, and no longer had to witness the Yan imperial clan's depravity. Unwilling to see the land and its people ravaged by war, she did everything she could to escape her mother's control and help the common people. But then Prince Xuanhuai launched a coup, and in less than half a month, his iron cavalry had trampled the Yan dynasty into submission. Yan Shi thought she would be given a noose or a cup of poison, or perhaps denied even an intact corpse. Instead, what was brought before her was an imperial decree appointing her as a consort. Perhaps he had seen through her disguise and thought this decree would enrage her more than simply killing her. He forced her to accept it, threatening the lives of the many ministers at court and her mother's entire clan. From then on, the crown prince of Yan was "dead," while the new emperor's harem gained a high-ranking consort who rarely left her rooms or spoke to anyone else, yet remained the emperor's favorite. ~~A little scene~~ Yan Shi was pushed toward a bronze mirror by the person behind her. She had been dressed in a plain palace gown. Her former enemy lifted her chin, forcing her to look at the stranger in the mirror. A voice, dark with excitement, sounded in her ear: "I never knew Your Highness the Crown Prince could be such a beauty." **Author's content warnings** She disguises herself as a man in the early part; the romance becomes forceful and possessive later. The male lead is unhinged: a rabid dog at first, then a devoted puppy. The male lead's body and heart belong to the female lead alone! One-on-one romance, both leads sexually inexperienced, happy ending. *The anti-piracy rate is 70%. Thank you for subscribing!

Hypocritical younger brother-in-law x honest, dutiful widow sister-in-law After her family fell into ruin, Xiao Ning had only her engagement to the Shangshu family to rely on if she wanted to protect her young siblings. Fortunately, Minister Zhuang didn't care that her family had been convicted of a crime. He took her in and let her choose a date to marry his eldest son. Xiao Ning was deeply grateful. But after marrying the eldest son, she couldn't help feeling that the second son looked at her differently. She thought she was imagining it, until one day she accidentally saw the portrait the second son had hidden away. It was unmistakably her, depicted in a compromising pose. Living under someone else's roof, Xiao Ning kept to her place and could only pretend she hadn't seen anything. She deliberately kept her distance from the second son, but before long, her husband fell gravely ill and died within days. People called her ill-fated, a woman who brought death to her family and husband. The Zhuang family could no longer tolerate her and planned to send her to a temple to spend the rest of her life. When Xiao Ning learned of this, she thought it over for a long time. To stay with the Zhuang family, she made the boldest decision of her life and knocked on the second son's door before dawn. The door did not open again until dusk. Wen Qingcheng had known ever since the day Xiao Ning married into the Shangshu household that she had done so to bring good fortune to his elder brother. His elder brother had been frail and sickly since childhood, and no medicine had helped. Their father had come up with the idea of a marriage to ward off misfortune. Wen Qingcheng had scoffed at the idea. Yet, for reasons he couldn't explain, his gaze was always drawn to Xiao Ning, and her words and actions stirred his heart. Wen Qingcheng began to think of her day and night. He developed improper thoughts about his sister-in-law, sketched her in his paintings, and came to loathe the elder brother at her side. Later, his elder brother died of illness. His parents thought Xiao Ning was cursed and planned to send her to a temple to spend the rest of her life. Wen Qingcheng was about to intercept her and make proper arrangements when, before he could act, Xiao Ning came alone and knocked on his door. The vile feelings in Wen Qingcheng's heart spilled out all at once. Looking at Xiao Ning standing before him as she undressed, Wen Qingcheng couldn't help saying cruelly, "Does sister-in-law beg my brother like this too?" Reading guide: The leads are both sexually inexperienced. The elder brother is unable to have sex because of his health. Blurb revised: 2026.8.24 Theme: Even in the darkest times, there is hope.
