I recommend the amazing novel My Ex Sits at the Table Beside Me Before My Wedding by Chunliang Xiaoxian. My upcoming novel, Going Viral on a Slow-Paced Variety Show with My Top-Star Younger Brother, is available to preorder in my author profile.
Qin Jiao transmigrates into a book and becomes the marriage-alliance empress of a devoted emperor.
By all rights, this powerful identity should let her lie flat and coast to victory.
Unfortunately, she has to follow the plot. In the book, she loves the emperor to the point of obsession, clears every obstacle for him, gets jealous on his behalf, and then, once he has secured his power, is sent to the cold palace and poisoned to death.
If she goes out of character, she returns to the beginning.
After failing countless times, Qin Jiao gives up, lies flat, follows the plot to the end, and returns to the modern world.
What she doesn’t know is that, after she returns, the System gives her a livestreaming feature as a bonus.
The ancient people in the original book can see her daily life.
And so...
*
On the day the new empress is installed, the people of the court celebrate together.
Suddenly, an illusion appears in the sky.
The deposed empress, once so proper and reserved, is wearing a backless, floor-length gown like a starry sky, swaying her slender waist as she walks the red carpet.
The officials blush with indignation. “A wicked temptress who corrupts the world! How scandalous!”
But the emperor on the throne only stares at the beauty’s smooth, jade-like back, his eyes dark.
On the show, a young idol politely invites her: “Would you like to dance with me?”
The palace maids: Impossible. Her Majesty loves the emperor so much.
Then they watch as the deposed empress, who supposedly loves the emperor to the point of obsession, happily agrees and dances close with a strange man...
Later, they realize that the deposed empress’s love for the emperor was all fake.

Qin Jiao, a pretty young actress who made it big on her looks, is widely regarded as a talentless beauty in the entertainment industry.
Unexpectedly, overnight, her talentless persona falls apart.
Not only does her acting win acclaim, she excels at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is especially skilled at traditional Chinese painting with bold, expressive brushwork.
Riding her sudden rise to fame, Qin Jiao is invited to the hottest dating show, where she will be paired with top-tier star Pei Yushu, a celebrated actor.
During a candlelit dinner, a tipsy Qin Jiao cups Actor Pei’s face and confesses passionately: “Darling, it’s so hard when you’re not around. You’re still the better-looking one.”
In another time and place, the emperor looks at the face that resembles his by seventy percent and completely breaks down.
Qin Jiao once gave him a painting of a man who was graceful, refined, and as warm as jade.
At the time, he had complained that she hadn’t captured the likeness well enough or painted his imperial majesty.
He never imagined that the man in the painting wasn’t him at all.
His Majesty the emperor had actually been a stand-in.

By Chunliang Xiaoxian
[Blurb]
Xu Ran and Zhou Jianan’s breakup was quiet, yet devastating.
Five years ago, Zhou Jianan disappeared in the middle of their passionate romance.
She impulsively said they should break up.
He simply replied, “Sure.”
Not long after the breakup, Xu Ran saw an intimate photo of Zhou Jianan and his ex on the ex’s Weibo, with the caption: “We tried to separate and settle for other people, but after going around in circles, we finally realized who we truly love...”
She finally understood that she had only been the “supporting character” in their drama. Xu Ran fled in dismay and never looked back.
When they meet again, he is a successful, celebrated business magnate, riding high on the spring breeze and basking in admiration.
She is seated at the table beside him, being confessed to by his good friend. Everyone at the table is cheering them on, except him.
No one knows that, outside the private room that night, Zhou Jianan corners Xu Ran in the shadows. His expression is cool and distant, but desire burns in his eyes. “He’s not right for you.”
Xu Ran smiles. “The only way to know if we’re right for each other is to try. You don’t need to worry about it.”
From that day on, Zhou Jianan pursues her like a madman.
He becomes her client, moves into the apartment above hers, and leaves unsigned bouquets in his car for her to find. There are countless “chance” encounters, too.
Xu Ran ignores them all. If she’s imagining things, she’ll get what she deserves. She’s been a fool once in her life, and that’s enough.
Later, Zhou Jianan watches her get into another man’s car, lean against another man’s shoulder, and leave without looking back.
A man as untouchable as him
learns for the first time how unbearable heartbreak can be.

Upcoming novel: Going Viral on a Slow-Paced Variety Show with My Top-Star Younger Brother (Launching in August)
1.
Shen Nianxia comes from a wealthy family, has a successful career, and is a true society beauty.
Her younger brother, Shen Nianqiu, is rebellious and unruly, constantly caught up in scandals, a textbook rich kid.
One day, she learns that she is living in a book, and her troublesome younger brother is a minor cannon-fodder character in it.
In the original book, Shen Nianqiu finds a fake older sister to appear with him on a variety show. Together, they serve as a foil to the female lead and her younger brother’s loving relationship.
He acts spoiled and refuses to cooperate on the show, earning the hatred of the entire internet.
In the end, a hater runs him over and kills him.
Shen Nianxia, who has just turned down an offer to film a show with her brother: ...
2.
Top-tier star Shen Nianqiu is going to appear with his older sister on My Brothers and Sisters, and the haters are already stirring.
Shen Nianqiu has a sister? He’s never mentioned her. She’s probably ugly!
Shen Nianqiu has a bad temper and loves throwing his weight around. He’s obviously spoiled, so his sister must be an indulgent sister who enables him!
Day one of the show.
Shen Nianxia appears in a high-waisted red dress, walking with confidence, beautiful and cool.
Meanwhile, the normally flashy and arrogant top-tier star Shen Nianqiu is like a hedgehog with its quills tucked away, obediently following behind and pushing the luggage.
Netizens: Ugly? An indulgent sister??
Day two of the livestream.
The original female lead tries her hardest to act like a gentle older sister, fussing over her stepbrother and showering him with concern.
Shen Nianxia glances at Shen Nianqiu, who is sitting with his legs crossed and playing a game. “Get to work!”
The top-tier star who usually ignores everyone obediently puts away his phone and gets to work with a grunt.
Netizens: Got it. No matter how wild the younger brother is, he’s a timid little thing in front of his real sister.
#Learn about the family pecking order#
Shen Nianqiu’s adorable contrast wins over the public, and just as everyone starts envying Shen Nianxia, people dig up her impressive academic credentials and research achievements, leaving a whole crowd of netizens green with envy.
#I can’t even decide who I envy more#
3.
Later, Shen Nianqiu co-stars in a movie with his archrival in the industry, national heartthrob Actor Lu.
Shen Nianqiu realizes Actor Lu is being far too nice to him and grows wary. “I don’t have a problem with gay people, but I’m a die-hard straight guy.”
The heartthrob: “Yeah, I know. I just wanted to ask for your sister’s contact information.”
Shen Nianqiu goes berserk: That bastard Lu Qingheng actually has his eye on my sister!
Theme: Freedom is priceless
In fact, I feel that Xiao Ze's ending is quite unfair. How could a character who could become an emperor be fooled around by others, and in the end be trapped in his feelings for the heroine? He is really like a character in a novel, whose fate was arranged just to bring out the happiness of the hero and heroine.
Hahahahahahahaha, aren't you a good daughter and a bitch? By the way, what kind of cub is Yueyue?
Embarrassing: It's all about gossip, unruliness, shamelessness, and witchcraft. Starting from more than 20 chapters, she used live broadcasts or programs to criticize her in almost every chapter. She scolded her on the first day and scolded her back on the second day. Even if the things she did were unrelated, the purpose was actually to criticize Sang and Huai. Everything she did in the whole story was just to slap her in the face.
After reading it, I feel it's okay. It should be a good article based on the setting, but the author's writing skills are not strong enough. The relationship between Pei Yushu and Qin Jiao looks weird. Also, the emperor Xiao Ze and the Wen family are too intellectual.
It's sad that novels can't save me from my depressed mood. My hand shook when I recharged money today, and I turned ten yuan into one hundred yuan. I felt so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe.
Hahahaha, I finally told the Dog Emperor that the male protagonist's daughter is a Chinese pastoral dog.
Crazy, crazy, operation, operation. Hahaha, this can also be said
The idea is still good, but it feels a little bit facial-like and too intellectual. But this is a cool article, and it's quite fun to read, but it would be better if it could be more detailed.
I didn't think it was anything at first, but as soon as I read it, I read it carefully and it made me laugh. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
The plot is very novel, the writing is not novice but not particularly good, but it is very good. The emotional line between the heroine and the hero feels a bit simple, but the expression of feelings is a bit stiff, but everything else is okay.
