The Tyrant's Easygoing Favorite Consort

The main story is complete. Extras are being updated regularly.

My new novel, Record of the Chief Minister Pursuing His Wife, is now open for follows. The blurb is below!

Blurb:

Xiao Han, ruler of the Great Zhou, was as beautiful as an immortal, yet an undisputed tyrant. Cruel and capricious, he was ruthless and bloodthirsty. He had slaughtered much of the imperial court, stirring up public outrage and prompting one assassination attempt after another.

Jiang Chan'er was an assassin sent into the palace disguised as a candidate for the imperial harem.

Unexpectedly, the carriage plunged off a cliff on the way to the capital, and Jiang Chan'er lost her memory.

She forgot the purpose of her journey. The beautiful, prickly, cold-blooded assassin became a naive, sweet, and fragile young woman.

When she heard that the emperor was a tyrant who killed without batting an eye, the delicate Lady Jiang immediately declared:

Boohoo, how terrifying! I'd rather farm than fight in the palace. At least farming might let me stay alive.

But just as she settled into a quiet corner of the palace and happily took up farming, the tyrant, for reasons unknown, insisted on spoiling her. He built her a golden house, gave her his exclusive favor, and doted on her as if she were the most precious person in the world. Then he gradually raised her all the way to the throne of empress.

*

The first time Jiang Chan'er saw Xiao Han, she had been locked in a deserted palace steeped in ghostly gloom.

Holding a lantern, she stood in the abandoned courtyard and gazed at the man beneath the night sky, dressed in flowing robes and standing as if riding the wind. He was so handsome he seemed otherworldly. She asked timidly, "A-are you an immortal?"

Xiao Han had struggled to survive in a living hell. His world was like an abyss, and he had never known even the smallest glimmer of light.

Everyone saw him as a vengeful ghost, a demon.

Yet now there was someone who saw him as an immortal.

Coming next: Record of the Chief Minister Pursuing His Wife

Wei Yan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's household, had loved Jiang Tong, a distant cousin who lived with her family, since childhood. When she grew up, she was willing to give up the splendor of the capital and marry him, moving with him to Hangzhou to become the wife of an army adviser.

She believed she had chosen well. Jiang Tong was ambitious and exceptionally talented with words. Surely he would earn distinction and make a name for himself one day.

But things did not turn out as she expected. On their wedding night, Jiang Tong said coldly, "I know my family is beneath yours and that I am unworthy of you, Miss Wei. From now on, you will have to lower yourself to live with me." With that, he turned and left the bridal chamber.

She had no idea how she had offended him. From then on, she was even more careful, looking after him with endless tenderness and concern. He paid no attention to her and remained just as cold.

For three years of marriage, he slept on the couch while she slept in the bed. He never touched her, but she foolishly thought he was simply too focused on his career to care about romance.

Then one day, while boating on the lake, she saw him by a broken bridge, holding another beautiful, graceful woman in his arms.

Only then did she finally understand that he had never loved her.

So she left a divorce agreement and returned to the capital.

Later, Jiang Tong became the most sought-after new scholar in the capital, a third-rank Hanlin academician, and eventually the chief minister, a man second to none. Yet he had forever lost the woman who had once treasured him above all else.

They stood far apart in a corridor, looking at each other. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with her husband by her side.

Only then did he realize that all the tenderness he had never given her was now being given to her by someone else.
