The Qing Dynasty: The Hated Dog Emperor

Tong Wanjun transmigrates into the body of Tong Jia, the legitimate daughter of Tong Guowei, a first-rank duke in history. She begins a carefree life of eating, drinking, and having fun, watching palace intrigues whenever she has nothing better to do, and teasing the princes. Life could hardly be more pleasant.

Her only headache is that Emperor Kangxi keeps showing up in front of her for no reason, and even expects her to attend him in his bedchamber?

That is never going to happen. She has no intention of doing it in this lifetime. Isn't it better to be happy on her own? Unless Emperor Kangxi gets rid of that ugly, dirty, smelly queue hairstyle. Just looking at it is an eyesore.

When Kangxi hears that she's disgusted by him, he grinds his teeth, studies himself in the mirror, and sniffs his own hair. It's not ugly or dirty, and it certainly doesn't stink! How could that wretched woman find him so repulsive?

Woman, I'll remember this!

Kangxi, constantly spurned, retreats into himself and refuses to see anyone.

Later, Kangxi finally resolves to defy his ancestors' rules and change that ridiculous queue hairstyle. But Tong Jia still refuses to attend him in his bedchamber.

"Your Majesty, Yinreng says he misses his mother. I'll stay with him tonight."

"Your Majesty, Yinzhi has a few questions about the new chapters of The Art of War he's been studying. I need to tutor him tonight."

"Your Majesty, Yinzhi says he found something fun and wants to give it to me. I won't be able to stay with you tonight."

"Your Majesty, Yinzhen had a nightmare last night. I'll sleep with him tonight."

Kangxi suddenly realizes that he seems to have far too many sons. Don't they have mothers of their own? Why do they have to keep monopolizing his Noble Consort?

Then one day, Kangxi discovers that his sons have actually started fighting over who gets to visit the Noble Consort that night. Furious, he confines the troublesome boys to their quarters. He thinks he can finally visit the Noble Consort tonight, but who could have guessed!

"Your Majesty, Shu Yao has been ill lately. I need to help take care of her."

"Your Majesty, Shu Ling can't solve that Rubik's Cube and wants me to teach her. I won't be able to stay with you tonight."

Kangxi grinds his teeth. He knew he had to watch out for his sons, but who knew his daughters would come along and compete with him for the Noble Consort too? This is outrageous!

Why did he have to father so many sons and daughters?

Content warning: one-on-one romance. The male lead is Kangxi, and he is not sexually pure. There are many alternate-universe details, and the story differs from history, so it is set in a semi-fictional world. The cover was drawn by my friend Cheng Ziqin. Thank you so much for making it for me. I think it looks wonderful!

"After Being Kicked Out of the Hehuan Sect, I Found a Partner"

Ruan Xuanmu is the emotionally detached senior sister of the Hehuan Sect. Her cultivation technique requires dual cultivation to break through the Nascent Soul stage and become a Divine Transformation cultivator. So the sect leader seals her cultivation and kicks her out. She can return only after finding a partner.

Ruan Xuanmu thinks she must have joined the wrong sect. She might as well find a small sword cultivator sect and start over.

She never expects to be bullied by several Foundation Establishment cultivators along the way, since she has no cultivation.

Ruan Xuanmu, seemingly frail and helpless (not really), gazes innocently at the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Before she can show off her skills, a passing sword cultivator comes to her rescue.

The sword cultivator is as elegant as an orchid and as bright as the moon beneath a clear sky. Ruan Xuanmu feels as if love has struck her, and clings shamelessly to his leg.

"Immortal, please take me in! Look at me, so frail and helpless, all alone, without even a place to live. Please take pity on a poor girl! I can do anything, and I'm willing to be your servant."

Jiang Wenyu's heart softens for a moment, and he takes in a mortal maid, thinking she's just an ordinary mortal.

That is, until the day he is framed and tied to an execution pillar, about to have all his cultivation destroyed. His seemingly frail maid takes a brick and pins the most powerful grand elder of their sect to the ground, rubbing his face in the dirt. At that moment, Jiang Wenyu truly believes that Ruan Xuanmu is frail and helpless.

A ridiculously powerful, slightly mischievous heroine who loves being a maid x a cool, aloof sword cultivator hero

A story about a heroine who thinks she's being perfectly proper but is actually quite mischievous, and who sets out to tease a serious, old-school hero.

Recommending my upcoming novel, "[Dream of the Red Chamber] Does Xue Pan Have to Kneel on a Washboard Today?"

Zhen Yinglian was the youngest daughter of a modern martial arts school. One day, she transmigrates into Dream of the Red Chamber as the pitiful Zhen Yinglian, and she's still a newborn baby. All she wants to do is curse.

To keep from becoming someone who truly deserves pity, Zhen Yinglian works hard to become both cultured and skilled in martial arts. She can handle an abacus, beat up human traffickers, and keep her husband in line. Before she knows it, she becomes the first woman to serve as Minister of Revenue in Dream of the Red Chamber.

The first time she meets the Foolish Tyrant:

Xue Pan swaggers over, handsome and dashing, and teasingly lifts Zhen Yinglian's chin. "My pretty girl, you're a real beauty. Why don't you come with me, Master Xue? I'll make sure you have all the best food and drink, and everything you could ever want!"

Zhen Yinglian looks at him with tender, tearful eyes, then glances shyly at the Foolish Tyrant. "If you come to my house with a full wedding procession and ask for my hand, then I'll say yes."

Xue Pan slaps his hand down. "All right! Wait here, my pretty girl. I'll go ask my mother to arrange a proposal!"

After the wedding, the Foolish Tyrant chats with his disreputable friends.

His disreputable friend says, "Young Master Xue, I hear your tigress of a wife keeps you on a tight leash. She won't let you go to the Feiyan Pavilion, drink, or even touch another woman. Is that true?"

Xue Pan gives a scornful smile and snaps open his fan. "As if!"

His friend says, "I also heard that if you fail to place third in the imperial examinations, your wife will make you kneel on a washboard."

Xue Pan looks offended. "Nonsense! Who would dare make me kneel on a washboard? I'd break her legs!"

Zhen Yinglian steps out from behind him and sneers. "Oh? You're going to break my legs?"

Xue Pan turns around, his legs going weak. He points at his friend. "Honey, I meant I'd break his legs!"

A money-loving heroine x a henpecked hero

Theme: No matter the era, women should treat themselves well and love life. They need to build careers of their own if they want to remain invincible.
