The Face-Blind Beauty Climbs the Social Ladder

Coming soon: The Heartless Emperor Wants to Depose His Empress and My Beloved Consort Keeps Seeking Death!

Xue Yuzhuo, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changxing, is noble and aloof, and renowned throughout the capital. In truth, she seems aloof because she can't recognize faces!

Everyone thinks she's indifferent to fame and fortune, but she has one grand wish in her heart: to marry the Crown Prince, then become Empress and rule the realm once the emperor dies!

After enduring other people's ridicule and working tirelessly to finally win the Crown Prince over, she is filled with joy, only to have her dream shattered by a sudden blow.

She got the wrong person... She got the wrong person...

The person she flirted with wasn't the Crown Prince at all, but the emperor's youngest son, the Seventh Prince!

Qi Chenye, the Seventh Prince, has been doted on since childhood. To stay clear of the struggle over the succession, he lived away from the capital. When he finally returned, a beautiful young woman began flirting with him every day.

So shameless! What kind of behavior is that? Qi Chenye has always looked down on bold, uninhibited women. But since she likes him so much, they might as well get married. He's at the right age to take a wife anyway.

After finally obtaining an imperial decree granting their marriage, he excitedly goes to see his fiancee, only to hear her crying and saying she got the wrong person! The man she wants to marry is his Crown Prince brother!

Qi Chenye is furious: Want to marry someone else? Not a chance! You want to be Crown Princess because you want to become Empress, don't you? Then I'll make you Empress!

Later, after Qi Chenye becomes emperor, he pins the face-blind young woman to the imperial bed and demands fiercely, "Have you memorized my face yet?"

Xue Yuzhuo, her face flushed, sobs softly, "Your concubine... has memorized it..." while secretly rolling her eyes: If I hadn't encouraged you, would you have become emperor?

Reader's guide: The heroine pretends to be aloof but is actually a proud little tsundere x the hero says one thing but does another!

New book: The Heartless Emperor Wants to Depose His Empress. Please add it to your list!

The imperial consorts all know perfectly well that no matter how arrogant and overbearing Empress Yan Qing is, she will be deposed sooner or later. After all, her brother is an eyesore to the emperor.

The ministers all know perfectly well that no matter how tyrannical and overbearing General Yan Jun is, he will eventually be killed. After all, his achievements overshadow the emperor's, and he has no sense.

They wait and wait for the empress to be deposed and the general to be killed.

One day, the cold and heartless emperor drops his mask and finally gives Yan Jun a furious dressing-down, looking ready to have him executed.

Everyone waits expectantly: Is he finally going to make his move?

But no one knows that after court, the emperor scolds the general while complaining bitterly, "What have you been teaching Qingqing? She keeps making a fuss about leaving the palace and doesn't even want the children. She doesn't care about me at all!"

Yan Jun is speechless. "What does that have to do with me? Why are you yelling at me? She's always been like that!"

Mini-scene, Part 1:

"Report! Your Majesty! Her Majesty the Empress says she can't get up this morning, so she won't let the consorts come pay their respects."

Xiao Xu snaps, "How dare she ignore the rules! If she says no one has to come, what happens to palace protocol? She can't get up? Are her legs broken? She's so lawless. I'll depose her one of these days!"

Mini-scene, Part 2:

Xiao Xu returns from morning court, hoping to cuddle his empress and enjoy a little more sleep.

"Report! Your Majesty! The Minister of Rites requests an audience. He says Her Majesty monopolizing Your Majesty's favor is bad for the royal heirs. He asks Your Majesty to spread your favor and bless the imperial harem."

Xiao Xu frowns. "Keep your voice down, or you'll wake the empress. Does he want me kicked out to sleep in the study? Issue my decree: Starting today, the imperial harem is to be disbanded. With no harem, there'll be no need to spread my favor."

Reader's guide: One-on-one romance, a marriage-first, love-later story. The hero genuinely wants to depose the heroine at first, but later sees her through a ten-meter-thick filter.

After transmigrating into a male-oriented novel, Zhou Yaoyao lies flat in the imperial harem, spending every day eating, drinking, using the bathroom, sleeping, and counting down the days.

She counts and counts, and at last the day the fortune-teller predicted for her return home arrives. To go home, she first has to abandon this body. Excited, Zhou Yaoyao calmly drinks rat poison and waits to open her eyes in her own world.

But when she wakes, she sees carved sandalwood furniture. She's still in that awful place from the book!

Unwilling to give up, Zhou Yaoyao tries hanging herself, jumping in a lake, and smashing her head against a wall... But every time her vision goes black, she returns to the day before she died.

Zhou Yaoyao is furious and curses the fortune-teller for being a fraud. Then she realizes... Why is the emperor, who never set foot in the harem, coming to see her more and more often?

*

Yin Ren has always known he possesses a power that frightens people, but he has long grown accustomed to life and death and almost never uses it.

But even though he has grown used to life and death, he can't accept someone dying for no apparent reason in his harem.

Once, twice, three times... He keeps stepping in, even setting aside the affairs of state he never neglects, just to find the culprit.

But the carefree woman who spends all day eating and sleeping still dies.

He flies into a rage. After bringing her back once more, he insists on disbanding the harem despite the officials' objections, and keeps watch by her side day and night so she can't come into contact with even the slightest possible danger.

His efforts finally pay off. After one intimate heart-to-heart, the delicate beauty lets slip what has been troubling her. At last, he finds the "culprit" who has repeatedly killed the apple of his eye: Zhou Yaoyao herself, the very person he has gone to such lengths to protect!

Yin Ren is furious and goes mad. He makes her go hungry, then cruelly threatens her with a braised pork knuckle: "Try to kill yourself again, and you'll be forbidden from eating meat for the rest of your life!"

Reader's guide: One-on-one sweet romance.

Modern romance: The Female Village Secretary's CEO Husband. Please add it to your list!

Blurb 1:

He has a luxury car and a lavish lifestyle; she works with her face turned toward the desert.

He is a golden-turtle returnee; she's a small-town exam ace.

One day, they meet, and sparks fly. There can't be two tigers on one mountain, so the female village secretary attacks with a shovel and drives away the male investor who is ruining their matsutake crop.

Li Yu'e tosses her scanty hair and sneers, "Anyone who lays a hand on our village's agricultural products will be killed without mercy."

A group of senior officials rushes over, slapping their thighs. "That's the CEO of the Gu Group, here to invest!"

Li Yu'e: "Huh?"

Later, after going to great lengths and working tirelessly at his side, Li Yu'e finally wins back the heart (crossed out) money of the domineering CEO, Gu Yu.

When it's time to sign the contract, Gu Yu wears his usual icy expression and spreads his hands. "The company has gone bankrupt."

Seeing the iron-willed Li Yu'e stare blankly and burst into tears, Gu Yu panics and hurriedly adds, "If you get together with me, I still have a dozen other companies that can invest in you."

Blurb 2:

The Gu Group's CEO is decisive and handles everything personally, wishing he could personally oversee every project.

Everyone wonders: He's so busy. Does he even have time to get married?

Then one day, the Gu Group's official account posts a picture of a dark-skinned girl standing in front of xx Assembly Hall, smiling brightly.

The caption reads: "Congratulations to Li Yu'e, village secretary of Lijiawan Village, on being named a National Outstanding Individual in Rural Revitalization!"

Everyone is shocked. Who is this Li Yu'e, to make the Gu Group throw its weight behind her?

Soon afterward, the Gu Group CEO, whose account still uses the default System avatar, reposts the post: "My wife is amazing! (Like)"
