[Cool and composed Vice Minister of Justice x theatrical, goofy concubine]
Huo Jingshu transmigrates after making her fortune through her own efforts in the modern world. On her very first day, she's told that her parents, who work for a marquis's estate, sold her to pay for her younger brother's medical treatment. And they sold her to the heir of the marquis, no less.
As luck would have it, the heir is determined to help his dear friend Shen Qingyan, the Crown Prince's adviser and a Vice Minister of Justice, lose his virginity. So he packs Huo Jingshu off to Shen Qingyan's private residence.
At a palace banquet, Shen Qingyan takes a drink meant for the Crown Prince and is drugged with an aphrodisiac.
In a panic, the heir brings the deeply self-restrained Shen Qingyan back to his private residence, ties him up, and locks him in with Huo Jingshu.
Shen Qingyan has been thoroughly set up: I can't thank you enough...
The heir grins: Hehe, you're welcome~
Huo Jingshu, an independent woman, ends up as Shen Qingyan's concubine.
She knows her status in this dynasty is worlds apart from Shen Qingyan's, and she can't be his cherished concubine forever.
She hopes to make her own way in the future.
So...
Whenever Shen Qingyan visits the private residence, Huo Jingshu sweet-talks him, asking only for gifts she can sell for cash.
Gradually, Huo Jingshu saves up quite a bit of silver. She sneaks out and opens a brand-new teahouse, selling milk tea, fruit tea, sweet soups, and other drinks.
Making full use of her modern business knowledge, Huo Jingshu turns the teahouse into a thriving enterprise. It becomes famous, attracts a steady stream of customers, and is a huge hit.
A little over a month later, she successfully makes a fortune.
One day, Huo Jingshu suddenly realizes: She's so rich, why should she keep serving Shen Qingyan?
And so...
She bribes the servants and, while Shen Qingyan is so absorbed in his work that he can't tear himself away and doesn't come to the private residence, packs her things, grabs her baby, and runs.
[Bonus scene 1]
During the Lantern Festival, Shen Qingyan takes Huo Jingshu to watch the fireworks.
Gazing at the sparks blooming across the sky, he takes her hand and asks tenderly, "Do you like them?"
Huo Jingshu nods. "I do."
Shen Qingyan says, "Shall I take you out to watch fireworks every Lantern Festival from now on?"
Huo Jingshu smiles, a hidden meaning in her eyes. "All right."
A few days later, Shen Qingyan is told that Huo Jingshu has disappeared. He panics like crazy.
[Bonus scene 2]
When it is accidentally revealed that the wife of the Minister of Justice is the true owner behind the teahouse, the whole city is in an uproar.
The heir of the marquis fumes: "The person who stole my business was you?!"
Shen Qingyan, Minister of Justice, showers her with praise: "As expected of my wife! You're amazing!"
The heir: "Ugh..."

[Pure-hearted, doted-on young princess x devoted, wise emperor]
Ren Nan'an is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Guo's family, cherished by all and granted the title of princess when she was young. She thought she would live a happy life, but three years ago, the Emperor, her cousin who had always protected her, was assassinated and died.
The new emperor is incompetent and tyrannical. The people suffer, the land lies in ruins, and Ren Nan'an faces the prospect of being forced into a political marriage with a prince from another country.
Before setting out for her marriage, Ren Nan'an discovers a letter that has appeared out of nowhere in her room. She opens it and reads it carefully, pondering its contents so deeply that she even dreams about them that night.
In her dream, she rides through the autumn hunting grounds in men's clothes, dashing and valiant. Her brother Ren Beining and her cousin Zhou Jiali, the future emperor, follow close behind.
The cool breeze brushes her face. Everything feels so real. Ren Nan'an remembers: this is her thirteen-year-old self.
She thinks she's been reborn and will no longer have to worry about a political marriage, but after the events described in the letter take place, the dream ends.
Ren Nan'an receives letter after letter. After reading each one, she falls asleep and is reborn in the past described in the letter.
Gradually, she learns the other side of the past: the person writing the letters is her cousin, the emperor who supposedly died;
and her cousin, the emperor, has a secret crush on her;
and his dream is to marry her.
To uncover the true cause of her cousin the emperor's death, she decides to risk everything after receiving the last letter. Carrying her memories of being with Zhou Jiali, she enters the dream once more to meet him again.
-
Ever since he caught a fleeting glimpse of his cousin Ren Nan'an at the Duke of Ren's estate as a boy, Zhou Jiali has been unable to forget her.
Gradually, he develops the habit of writing letters, recording in them the wishes he has always known he could never fulfill:
He wants to share with Ren Nan'an the joy of winning a prize at the hunt.
He wants to watch a grand fireworks display with Ren Nan'an.
He wants to marry Ren Nan'an...
[Bonus scene 1]
As someone who serves the emperor, Eunuch Su naturally knows many of His Majesty's unspeakable secrets, including this one: whenever the emperor has a spare moment, he returns to his chambers and takes a treasured portrait out of a cabinet, gazing at it for a long time.
He knows exactly who is in the portrait: Ren Nan'an, the Duke of Ren's legitimate daughter.
Like the other palace servants around the emperor, he knows how deeply His Majesty cares for the princess. Yet he watches the emperor spend his life unable to marry the woman he loves, a source of lifelong regret.
[Bonus scene 2]
Dressed in red, Ren Nan'an travels to another country with the wedding procession. Before long, they reach Xianzhou, where a group of black-clad assassins suddenly appears and surrounds them.
Driven to the edge of a cliff, Ren Nan'an has nowhere left to run.
She glances at the mountain's base, hidden by clouds, and jumps without hesitation while the assassins stare in shock. "Zhou Jiali, I love you too. Now I'm coming to be with you..."
When she opens her eyes again, a familiar figure stands by her bed, hands clasped behind his back. The way he stands looks just like him.
Ren Nan'an's eyes redden, her voice trembling. "Zhou Jiali...?"
"It's me."

Now that the heroine is pregnant, the hero can't compete with his family. Will he be able to follow his own wishes when the child is born in the future? I thought it was a doting novel, but I didn't expect it to be upgraded.
Love that does not start on the basis of equality of status is not worthy of being called love.
I am indeed very responsible, but the road to love is very difficult. The ancients' idea of a well-matched family is also deep-rooted. Rich families are against rich families, bamboo families are against bamboo families, male protagonist, hold on! Don't give Jing Shu a chance to regret it!
Damn, I thought his resoluteness was Hui Xiandu asking for the imperial edict to grant marriage, but I didn't expect it was kidnapping.
I haven't run yet, but the supporting characters have a lot more ink than the heroine.
Please, I seem to have gone off topic. There is no heroine in several chapters. Can these plots be flashed through without being so detailed?
I just hope I don't abuse the heroine
This is how it is when a match is well matched. The weaker party is always considered to be trying to gain the upper hand, and they look down on Zhumen from the bottom of their hearts!
Come on, come on, calling yourself Qingyan really pokes me
That's it. You should pay more attention to writing the male and female protagonists, and the remaining supporting characters can be omitted. It felt like the eldest princess has become the heroine. There is another question. The eldest princess is the emperor's sister. The emperor's eldest daughter should be called the eldest princess, right?
