After I Ran Away, My Husband Set Out to Claim the Throne

Seeking advance readers for a new story. Blurb below, please show your support

Deng Huaiji commands a mighty army and holds immense power. He is just one step away from the throne. He has a wife who keeps to herself and is always ill, but only a handful of trusted aides know the truth: his wife ran off with someone, abandoning her lord.

While Deng Huaiji was away on campaign, an accident sent Zhao Lingyue straight into the future, seven years later.

Seven years can change a lot: Her father has abdicated, her husband is about to ascend the throne, and everyone says she ran away.

There's nothing wrong with going along with the misunderstanding. Making a little money, playing with cats and dogs, then holding a handsome man's hand while gazing at the moon: Zhao Lingyue thinks this life is absolutely wonderful.

But then, without warning, she runs into the husband she hasn't seen in seven years.

Facing the furious man, Zhao Lingyue forces herself to stay calm.

"You've got the wrong person. I'm not her."

"You're still trying to deceive me?"

Her voice softens. "Wouldn't it be better to let Princess Yongqing disappear for good?"

"No." Deng Huaiji laughs in anger. "As long as I'm alive, you can forget it."

Tips:

1. A cowardly, unloved princess from the last dynasty * a domineering general on the verge of breaking down

2. This is not the kind of story where the heroine's whole family is killed, yet she falls in love with her enemy anyway. The heroine supports changing the dynasty.

3. The heroine transmigrates directly seven years into the future. Everyone else thinks she eloped and disappeared. The story reaches the post-transmigration timeline in Chapter 10, so feel free to skip ahead if you prefer a fast pace.

4. There is a male love rival. I like jealous types.

Advance preview: The Nobleman's Concubine

To save her life, Qingyi took on a false identity and hid in Bailan House, becoming an inconspicuous zither player.

At a banquet full of song and dance, amid the clamor of clinking cups, only Chu He noticed the jade-like beauty in the corner, illuminated by candlelight.

After listening to her song, he turned away with an indifferent look. So what if she was beautiful? She was only a woman who used her looks to seduce men.

But perhaps that woman had learned the art of seduction, because from then on, her pale face kept appearing in Chu He's dreams.

When they met again, he sat high on his horse while she tumbled through the rain and landed at his feet, disheveled. As if grasping at a lifeline, she pleaded, "Please save me. As long as you don't let those people take me away, I'll give you anything."

"What can you give me besides yourself?"

Qingyi's face paled. She raised her head and said resolutely, "As long as you keep your word, my lord."

"War is coming. I need an heir."

"All right."

Chu He thought that if it were her, perhaps the child she bore would be rather lovable.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued a decree throughout the land, offering a thousand gold pieces to find his long-lost sister, Princess Jingyi, who had disappeared amid the chaos of war.

A great fire erased a humble concubine from Fu'an Lane, and the palace welcomed back the emperor's most beloved jewel.

Five years later, when Chu He returned to the capital, he turned down everyone who tried to arrange a marriage for him. "I already have a wife."

Then, at a flower-viewing banquet, he looked up and saw that the woman before him was none other than his Wanwan. But others called her Her Highness the Princess, and she already had a consort by her side.

*The male lead is Chu He. He is devoted to the heroine in both body and heart throughout. HE.

Advance preview: The Female Shadow Guard

Dian Yu transmigrated into the body of a shadow guard. Cautiously, she slacked off at this high-risk job, hoping to make it safely to retirement.

Perhaps she was too good at staying alive, because on the journey to escort Young Master Luan Yi as a hostage to another country, she became the only soldier left alive.

"You abandoned me? How dare you betray me? Who bought you off?" Luan Yi stared at her, shocked and furious.

Now was the time to leave. Dian Yu rolled her eyes and snapped, "I've put up with that high-and-mighty, arrogant attitude of yours for long enough. And you're so bad-tempered. Do you think there's anything remotely likable about you?"

"I've wanted to tell you this for ages. I quit. I'm done, understand?" Saying it made her feel as though all her pent-up frustration had vanished, leaving her refreshed and clear-headed.

But the more satisfying it was to say, the more painful it was to eat her words. In the end, she was forced to keep surviving in the same job.

When Young Master Yi returned from his time as a hostage and took the throne, he issued two decrees: one to make Miss Jiang his queen, and the other to appoint a maid by his side as his secondary consort.

The first was expected by everyone and came as no surprise. The second set people talking. Many said the king was surely rewarding the maid for her loyal service in the enemy state.

"I know you're proud and can't bear to be beneath anyone. From now on, you'll be my secondary consort, no longer a servant. Then you'll be able to rest easy, won't you?"

The newly appointed secondary consort stamped on the decree and stabbed the king.

She chuckled. "A secondary consort? Whoever takes that title is a dog."

She thought they were soulmates, only for him to turn around and marry his white moonlight. All she wanted to shout was, "What a damn nuisance."

"I don't need your damn reward. I just want the payment you promised." She gave him a sidelong glance. "What, Young Master Yi? Can't afford to pay up, so you're trying to weasel out by giving me the title of secondary consort?"
