The Heavenly Dao Says I Can't Ascend Unless I Get a Wife

1 Wei Jingke has successfully survived her tribulation and is about to ascend to immortality. Then a bolt of thunder strikes down, and the Heavenly Dao refuses her: "Your tribulation is not yet complete." "Please enlighten me, Heavenly Lord." She only asked a question, but who could have guessed that the Heavenly Dao would turn the heavens upside down and send her back a thousand years into the past? A thousand years ago, she was still a princess in the mortal world. And in that mortal world, she had a good younger brother who was plotting how to scheme against and assassinate her for the throne. Having sent her back a thousand years with her cultivation intact, did the Heavenly Dao mean for her to take revenge for all the wrongs she hadn't had time to avenge back then? That didn't seem right. Wei Jingke suddenly remembered. A thousand years ago, when she was still a princess in the imperial capital, she had apparently been engaged to someone. 2 The An Ding Prince's Manor's Lady Shen is gentle and refined, a proper young lady whom everyone praises. But who could know that in her previous life, her fate was full of misfortune? Every friend and relative around her died, and even after rising to a position of power, she could not find a single person to talk to. Reborn in this life, she not only wants to protect her family... she also wants to... make up for the regrets of her previous life. "Sister Wei..." Shen Pei gently offers her a cup of tea. That obedient smile, her taut profile, and the shimmering light in her eyes all seem to say one thing: irresistible allure. Time has turned back, but the moon remains. She wants this person to love her too.

Please add it to your collection! Here's the blurb: 1 Xie Wan is a legend. Born into a general's household, she has been gifted in both arts and arms since childhood. Though she is a woman, all she wants is to go to the battlefield one day and defend her country. Then an imperial edict summons her to the palace to marry the empress and become a consort. Four years later, the empress dies. When enemy troops invade, Xie Wan dons her armor and goes to war. When ministers rebel, Xie Wan seizes power and kills them. Everyone thinks Xie Wan will become the new emperor. But even when she dies, she never claims the throne. Xie Wan has only this to say: Being emperor is really exhausting. Who could have guessed that after being reborn... She would become the empress. That's right, she is reborn as the empress, the sickly empress. Xie Wan: This is bad. I don't have many years left. The palace attendant in charge of choosing the night's consort arrives late "Your Majesty, today is the day Consort Wan enters the palace. Would you like to see her?" Xie Wan stiffens, incredulous. "Who?" "Your Majesty, Consort Wan. The eldest legitimate daughter of General Xie, Xie Wan," the attendant replies respectfully. Xie Wan: ??? After being reborn, she becomes the empress and marries herself. And what's more, her sixteen-year-old self. 2 Sixteen-year-old Xie Wan understands resentment for the first time. She loves practicing with swords and spears, and she loves leading troops into battle. At night, she dreams of becoming a young general. But with one imperial edict, she has no choice but to put on a wedding dress and become a palace consort. She can see exactly how the rest of her life will go. The empress loves men, and all three thousand members of her harem are men. Not only can she not become a young general, she has to compete for favor with all these men! Damn that empress! "Cough... Consort Wan, you look like you want to eat me," Xie Wan coughs twice. "Perhaps Your Majesty looks delicious." Sixteen-year-old Xie Wan narrows her eyes. She realizes the empress seems even more delicate than she imagined. "Your Majesty, it's time to retire for the night." Sixteen-year-old Xie Wan's words are shocking, and she even advances step by step. Xie Wan retreats two steps. "I only came to see you... I like men, you know..." Sixteen-year-old Xie Wan grabs her and pulls her into bed without a word. They get into bed and fight. (A real fight.) After they fight like this many times The real fights turn into pretend fights. "Your Majesty, didn't you say you... liked men?" The grown-up young general Xie Wan lies limp on the bed. The empress Xie Wan props her chin on one hand and wipes the sweat from her forehead. "I don't know where things went wrong either." Theme: Never give up in the face of adversity.
