[My new story, "The Villainess Hears Thoughts and Chooses the Ascetic Crown Prince Instead," is now available. Please visit my collection~]
Su Yuntang and Liu Sanbao met when they were young and fell in love at first sight. She watched him go from a commoner and wanted criminal to a rebel prince. She accepted his proposal on the battlefield between their armies and helped him establish a new dynasty as its first emperor.
But Su Yuntang never imagined that just three years after becoming empress, she would be stripped of her authority and confined to the inner palace.
She thought the days ahead would be miserable, but even in the freezing cold, with no blankets or charcoal, she didn't feel cold at all. Instead, she felt warm all over. After falling seriously ill, she had no medicine or supplements, yet she didn't feel weak or frail. Instead, she gradually recovered.
The old injury in her leg no longer flared up in the wind and snow. Instead, it felt especially comfortable.
Even the monthly period that had tormented her for years no longer caused any pain. She couldn't feel a thing at all.
How strange!
After issuing the order to confine his childhood sweetheart, the empress, the new emperor Liu Jingtian began to feel that something was wrong.
His bedchamber was as warm as spring, yet he felt cold all over.
The imperial physician said he was in good health, yet he felt exhausted and dizzy.
His knee inexplicably ached and swelled, and hot compresses and massage did nothing to help.
Even once a month, his lower back and abdomen ached terribly.
How could this be?
Liu Jingtian, back then: A-Tang, I'll wait for the day you come back and do as you're told.
Liu Jingtian, later: No one is allowed to make the empress uncomfortable, not even a little!
Su Yuntang: Heh.
Reader advisory:
1. The exchanged sensations include pressure, temperature, and pain.
2. One-on-one romance later on. The scumbag emperor has a harem and will "try" to favor other women at first, but the sensation exchange with the heroine ultimately makes it fail.
3. The sensations never switch back, including during pregnancy and childbirth later on.
4. The male lead really is a scumbag. There will be romantic rivalry, a redemption arc, and a happy ending.
Here's a recommendation for my upcoming story, "After Hearing His Thoughts, I Chose the Ascetic Crown Prince Instead."
Blurb:
Su Miaomiao fell in love at first sight with the Sixth Prince when she met him at ten years old. She loved him passionately and without hesitation.
The Sixth Prince liked women who were gentle, elegant, and chaste, so she restrained her nature and stopped riding horses and swimming. From then on, she behaved with decorum and was proper in every way.
The Sixth Prince liked women who were talented and refined, so she changed her interests and studied music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and literature until she had mastered them all.
Sincerity can move even stone and metal. Before she came of age, the Sixth Prince's gaze finally turned tender and affectionate, and he promised that one day they would be the happiest couple in the world.
Su Miaomiao was overjoyed for a long time, until she gained the ability to read minds and heard her lover's contemptuous thoughts: [A poor imitation of Dongshi. Oh well, it's all for the throne. I'll put up with you for now, dear. Once I take the throne, I'll divorce her at once and make you empress.]
Su Qingqing was her half-sister.
Su Miaomiao couldn't accept that she'd wasted seven years of her life on him. She turned and jumped into the Peach Blossom Pond, holding her breath underwater to calm down. When she couldn't hold it any longer, she burst out of the water, splashing water right onto the former crown prince's Taoist robes.
The former crown prince was the legitimate son of the late emperor, aloof and detached from worldly affairs. After becoming a monk, he seemed even more ethereal than an immortal. Though he lived in the cold palace, no one dared disrespect or offend him.
But when Su Miaomiao approached, she heard a lovestruck thought: [So cute. I want to hug her...]

(Scene)
The Sixth Prince was incredulous: Miaomiao, I'm clearly the one you love!
Su Miaomiao held a wine cup and made no effort to hide her scorn: Bullshit! I've always loved the peerless, otherworldly Crown Prince!
Looking at her former lover's contorted face, Su Miaomiao gleefully downed her wine. She turned and bumped straight into the Crown Prince's cool Taoist robes. He'd heard the whole thing.
The aloof Crown Prince lowered his eyes to the wine stains on his robe. "That's the second time."
Miaomiao hurriedly tried to apologize, but in the next moment the ascetic Crown Prince whispered in her ear, "Was what you just said true?"
[Adorable girl-next-door heroine who can read minds * Ascetic Crown Prince who's secretly loved her for years]
[Redemption arc, romantic rivalry, sweet and satisfying, happy ending]

Theme: Without enduring the bitter cold, how can plum blossoms fill the air with their fragrance?
In fact, I can already feel the misery of the male protagonist in this chapter - postpartum hormone secretion disorder + being imprisoned in a dark closed space, but without corresponding external means to adjust his mental state. If it goes on for a long time, the person will indeed collapse from the inside. From a purely emotional perspective, I do feel pity for him in my heart. [Emphasis added] But, am I saying this just to feel sorry for the male protagonist? Absolutely! Right! No! Yes! On the contrary, to what extent do you need to abuse a scumbag to be considered a passing grade? I think it should be like this chapter, where even the readers who assume the heroine's perspective feel sympathy for it, then the abuse of the scum is on the right track. Some people may think that since the heroine is substituted, they should not have the slightest pity for the male protagonist, but in fact not everyone needs to be like this, because regardless of gender, from an individual "human" perspective, I really feel pity for this situation. However, in addition to emotion, there is also reason. From a rational point of view, the male protagonist deserves this kind of torture. After so much verbosity, what I actually want to say is that the passing standard for abusing a scumbag must be to such an extent that readers other than the male protagonist will feel a little pitiful, and then the scumbag can begin to atone for his sins. However, you can have emotional compassion, but you must also remain rational at all times - the current situation of the scumbag emperor is entirely his own fault. Moreover, from the plot design point of view, it is only when you feel compassion that the scumbag begins to be cruelly abused. If the readers cannot feel the scumbag's misery, then even if the whole article is written about how miserable the scumbag is and how painful it is, it is just an ineffective abuse of the scumbag. I hope Liu Gou can be strengthened and continue to care for him~
It's not enough of a Shura field, not enough of a crematorium, and not enough of a hen. Only the male protagonist is a real dog. If I had known this, I probably wouldn't have watched it.
It ended suddenly and inexplicably, but as you can guess, the male protagonist cannot come back, and the problem between the male and female protagonists cannot be solved. So there is no way for him to have a happy ending. It gives the impression that the male protagonist will never come back after being abused, and the female protagonist has resigned herself to her fate. They couldn't let him die anyway, and the two of them felt indescribable, which made them feel very depressed.
Although the male protagonist is depressed, I think he could be a little worse. The female protagonist is in a very painful state now, but when she was in emo pain and could no longer ride a horse due to her knee injury, the male protagonist asked her, "Have you had enough trouble?"
. . I still hope that the male protagonist will die of illness early in this life () Why does the ending not mention when he will die ()
…If you don't fight to the death in one chapter, you will reconcile in the next chapter. It's really unlucky.
He couldn't let him go even if he found him. He deliberately didn't look for Mr. Ge when he disappeared; and he himself said that he just disappeared before Mr. Ge could do anything.
Well, how should I put it, a bad fox? A stubborn donkey. I love you, but I love tossing and tossing even more to the death, hahaha?
Oh no, I will be laughed to death by the little theater. I will laugh over and over again after watching it.
I felt something was wrong halfway through and couldn't help but jump to the ending... Shocked
