Luo Hua opened her eyes and somehow found herself in the Qing Dynasty, as a member of the Shu Mulu clan who had just been bestowed upon the Fourth Prince.
Her father: "Our family's glory is all in your hands!"
Her mother: "My daughter, whether I can outfight those little vixens in the inner courtyard depends on you!"
Consort De: "You look like you'd bear children well. The prince's heirs are counting on you!"
Luo Hua: "???"
I can't do this. I'm still young, and my skinny shoulders can't bear such a huge burden.
Please don't rope me into this. Thanks.
A simple wedding brought Luo Hua into the Fourth Beile's residence.
Once there, she caused no trouble, competed for no favor, and joined no cliques. She earned unanimous approval from the principal wife and the others.
But life in the inner courtyard was just too dull. Looking at the strikingly beautiful Li shi, and remembering the later tales that the Fourth Master once favored her alone, Luo Hua's shipping soul burst into flames.
She picked up her brush to create content for the couple she shipped with all her heart, and began writing fanfiction.
Who would have guessed that her fanfiction would accidentally be mistaken for popular storybooks and take the capital by storm?
With a fanbase behind her, Luo Hua's creative passion soared. Her sugary storybooks had the capital's wives and young ladies utterly hooked.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. Li shi was publicly reprimanded by the Fourth Master and lost his favor completely.
Luo Hua: "The couple I shipped is dead, and my heart died with them."
So she waved her hand and began writing tragic romances.
For a while, the price of handkerchiefs for wiping tears in the capital went up considerably.
Later,
another newcomer, Nian shi, joined the household.
Nian shi was a delicate beauty, as frail as a willow in the breeze.
Her pairing with the Fourth Master was even sweeter.
Luo Hua: "The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and I feel like I can do this again!"
There's no such thing as a secret that stays hidden forever. The Fourth Master eventually discovered that she had been using him as the model for her storybooks.
The Fourth Master: "I hear you like writing stories about me? Use the two of us as your inspiration and write one."
The people of the capital noticed that the author who used to write stories that started sweet and turned tragic had changed. She wasn't writing tragedy anymore! The series was already more than ten books long, and she was still serving up sweetness!
This makes no sense!
Luo Hua: I think so too.
Every couple I ship has broken up. Why haven't the Fourth Master and I broken up yet?
The Fourth Master: "We're not breaking up. I can only make you empress, I suppose."
P.S. The Fourth Master doesn't favor Li shi or Nian shi. It's all in the heroine's imagination.
