[A woman will only get in the way of my conquest of the world * A faux people-pleaser who plays the fool while hiding her true nature]

The Liang kingdom is plagued by arrogant regional warlords and powerful eunuchs. Su Chunying, considered an ill-omened person, has had a hard life. She carefully ingratiates herself with her entire family, only to escape death and find herself back in the tiger's den.

Xiao Chengyun, the Prince of Zhennan and ruler of an overbearing regional fief, is ruthless and willful. Even the emperor has to yield to him.

The court in Tiandu has been scheming away, and has set its sights on two people who would never otherwise have crossed paths.

Xiao Chengyun: I hate noble family daughters more than anything!

Su Chunying: Your thigh looks pretty strong. How about taking me under your wing?

Countless noble families in the Liang kingdom once hoped to marry into the Prince of Zhennan's household. But when they learned of Xiao Chengyun's deeds, they all backed out. He's a living demon who makes drinking cups out of skulls, a bloodthirsty fiend.

Su Chunying might be the only woman in Tiandu who genuinely wants to marry him.

By a twist of fate, the two come together, each with their own agenda. They think their relationship will grow slowly and steadily, but then something changes, and Su Chunying runs away...

The people of Tiandu tell the story in vivid detail of how Prince Xiao Chengyun was cursed out in the middle of the street.

Prince of Zhennan: Why are you scowling? I haven't punished you yet for deceiving me or running away...

Young woman: Get lost!

Prince of Zhennan: Since when did you grow a bear's heart and leopard's guts? If I hadn't arrived in time, they would have tormented you.

Young woman: Get out of my way, dog!

Prince of Zhennan: So you're feeling bold, are you? Let's see who gets the final say tonight, once that door is shut!

Is this really something we're allowed to hear for free?

A story about someone who learns to let go, and someone who can't.

Also known as The Former Dynasty's Princess Is Forced to Return to Secular Life and After Being Forced to Return to Secular Life, I Married My Enemy

As Emperor Li's beloved daughter, Qi Zhenyu has always lived a life of wealth and luxury. The rare treasures other people prize are mere everyday objects to her. Every handsome man in her princess manor is her male lover, and if her deeds were written in the history books, she would be reviled by thousands.

Yet she was betrothed as a child to Shen Qingyu, the exceptionally talented and striking heir to the Duke of Zhenguo. Everyone said it was a case of a flower stuck in cow dung, and naturally, Shen Qingyu was the flower.

After coming of age, Qi Zhenyu suddenly decided she wanted to break off their engagement. She said Shen Qingyu was all looks and no substance, making him the laughingstock of the entire city.

Then everything changed. The once-arrogant princess became a prisoner, forced to become a nun.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingyu transformed into the crown prince of the new dynasty.

When they met again, their positions had been reversed.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince." She humbled herself before him.

"If you won't return to secular life, I don't mind having a Temple of Bliss built for you to live in," he said, domineering and unyielding.

Qi Zhenyu: What should I do if my enemy plans to humiliate me by attacking my dignity?

Shen Qingyu: How should I teach a childhood sweetheart who doesn't know what's good for her?
