Oh No, My Brother Has Usurped the Throne (I Transmigrated into a Book)

Gu Yanmiao was transported into an old-fashioned romance novel and became a princess of the commandery with a rather dubious title.

But her whole family were doomed cannon fodder. The original protagonist would torment them until the entire family was wiped out, all together.

Gu Yanmiao: Fine. A terrible start from the start.

To avoid meeting the same fate, she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to build a business and earn a living.

The court won't pay her father his salary?

- No problem. She'll open teahouses to rake in money and raise an army, while setting up an intelligence network on the side.

Her brother is being bullied in the capital while held hostage?

- No problem. She'll cling to powerful people and build up their goodwill, and flirt with handsome men along the way.

Gu Yanmiao made a fortune, and she was so happy counting her money that she could hardly stop.

Then she turned around and heard her brother, the heir apparent, arranging a plan: "The trouble won't reach a married daughter. Before the uprising, it's best to have Miao'er marry Xuanzhu."

Gu Yanmiao's eyes widened in shock. They're staging a coup so suddenly? Are you telling me to run while you hold them off?

...And how did I not know I was engaged? My husband-to-be is Xuanzhu, the future God of War and the capital's dreamboat for young women? Sure, I've gotten used to clinging to him...but isn't that basically taking advantage of him, big brother? QAQ

She sensed trouble and bolted as fast as her feet could carry her.

But the young general blocking her way stood tall and straight, his expression cool, though the tips of his ears were a little red.

He asked solemnly, "Does what you said last time still stand? That I should repay you for saving my life by giving myself to you?"

A sunny, black-bellied princess of the commandery X a cool, arrogant young general

The Substitute I Presented Was the Real One by Chu Shang Shi

The new emperor, Gu Hansong, was decisive and held power over all under heaven.

Ever since that woman fell from the city tower, her name had become forbidden in the imperial palace.

When Xiliang submitted to the empire, a minister seeking the emperor's favor scoured the borderlands and finally found a tea seller.

"Your Majesty, look," the man said delightedly. "This woman's appearance is remarkably like hers! It must be heaven's will. She can stay by your side and ease your longing."

The others held their breath, wondering whether this substitute would meet with fortune or disaster in the hands of an emperor who had lost the woman he loved.

But Gu Hansong recognized her at a glance.

Ten years to reach the summit, with a path washed in blood.

He diverted rivers to search for her bones, all to find some trace of her. His so-called benevolent policies, tax cuts, and promotion of medicine were nothing more than an attempt to bargain with a blind Heaven and reclaim his fallen star.

The girl who had died for him was standing right before his eyes.

In an instant, time seemed to freeze and the mountains and rivers fell silent.

But Yu Buyie, who had lost her memories, looked up at him in confusion. Her clear eyes reflected his shattered image. "Your Majesty, you have the wrong person."
