The Jilted Villainess Accidentally Flirts with the White Lotus

Blurb: I have discussed opening VIP chapters with my editor on December 20, starting with Chapter 28. Everyone is welcome to click in and read, and add the story to your favorites.

Nie Yuning transmigrates into a palace-intrigue novel about a tragic romance, becoming a pitiful disposable character born into a prominent family. Because of her family's military background, the new emperor, the male lead, takes his anger out on her, and she dies when the kingdom falls. When her family declines, she uses illness as an excuse to leave the capital for Yunzhou. There, she takes command of the army and holds its military seal, becoming the uncrowned ruler of the fourteen northern frontier prefectures and avoiding the fate of dying with her country.

Years ago, her father arranged her engagement to the son of a powerful minister. She plans to return to the capital to settle this important matter, but receives a letter breaking off the engagement on the way.

It turns out her fiance is a devoted simp for the green tea heroine. Nie Yuning saves Great Chu, butterflies away the green tea heroine's new-emperor male leads, and her simp fiance successfully rises to power.

Well, this is certainly an unexpected turn of events!

Three-legged golden toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere.

Nie Yuning travels lightly to the outskirts of the city. She peeks out from behind the carriage curtain and sees a wild man by the roadside, just waiting for her to save him like a hero. He stands up for the common people without fear of danger. Isn't he more handsome, lovable, and principled than her former fiance?

Nie Yuning smiles charmingly. "Have we met before, handsome?"

Qin Qianhe sees the unfamiliar look in the young woman's eyes. He pauses, then nods. "We have."

Nie Yuning: "???"

Qin Qianhe restrains his affection and reminds her, "I came to pay my respects at your father's funeral three years ago."

Nie Yuning: "!!!"

When her family fell on hard times three years ago, no one dared come to pay their respects. There was only one exception: Qin Qianhe, the powerful minister of Great Chu.

The big shot who turned the tide when the kingdom was on the brink of collapse, the tragic man betrayed by Great Chu.

And the father of her former fiance!

What should she do after accidentally flirting with her ex-fiance's powerful father? Asking online! Help!

Later, the green tea heroine accidentally falls into the water. Nie Yuning's former fiance protects her and scolds Nie Yuning harshly. "How can you be so vicious? You actually pushed Wanrou into the river!"

Nie Yuning spots her former fiance's father approaching through the crowd, and instantly transforms into a frail, delicate beauty. She swoons into his arms. "Uncle, your son spoke without thinking. He didn't mean to slander me. I'm frail, too, and can't withstand being shouted at."

The green tea heroine thinks: Is Third Miss Nie out of her mind? Does she really think Minister Qin will scold his own son for her?

Qin Qianhe looks at the beauty in his arms, crying with affected delicacy. She threatens him with her eyes when no one else is looking. What can he do?

He has no money to repay the debt of having his life saved, so he can only offer himself in return!

That night, the former fiance is confined and made to kneel, and the green tea heroine stops stirring up trouble.

Years later, the former fiance is once again made to kneel, this time outside the palace hall by Qin Qianhe. He finally can't hold back and pleads, "Your Majesty, you're the ruler of the country. Why are you still scheming against me and misleading Minister Qin into punishing me?"

Nie Yuning reviews memorials and smiles. "Because it's a way for a married couple to have fun!"

The former fiance is heartbroken: Am I just a tool for you two to show off your love?

Breaking off the engagement feels great for a moment, but then comes the kneeling punishment!

Brilliant, ruthless, domineering ruler VS refined, easygoing, reserved minister

PS: 1. This is an older-man romance, and the leads have an age gap.

2. The male lead's marriage to the former fiance's mother was a marriage of convenience. He is not the fiance's biological father.

3. The male lead spoils the heroine in all sorts of ways at first, and later the heroine spoils him.

Pre-release: A Qing Dynasty Romance: The Concubine's Difficult Life

After waking up, Meng Siyu, who transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty years ago, unexpectedly gains a memory that lets her predict the future.

In the future, her parents will marry her off to a fellow townsman who has passed the provincial examination, to pave the way for her elder brother. The candidate will then offer Meng Siyu to various officials, trading her beauty for advancement. Later, he will rise rapidly through the ranks, and the Meng family will prosper along with him. Only Meng Siyu will die in a fire, her life cut short.

Now, the candidate is doing everything he can to trick her into attending a banquet, while a lecherous official regards her as his for the taking.

She turns her jade thumb ring and smiles faintly. "Gentlemen, does Fourth Master know about this?"

Everyone sees the rare jade ring and panics: "..."

Using her connection to an "old acquaintance" as a pretext, Meng Siyu bluffs her way through, scares everyone off, and gets away unscathed.

But she doesn't expect to turn around and run into the person she least wants to see.

Yinzhen once thought that if he ever saw Meng Siyu again, he would humiliate her thoroughly to avenge her abandoning him after leading him on. But when he sees her surrounded by enemies on all sides, his heart softens, and he blurts out, "Would you be willing to come with me?"

At least he can protect her and give her a worry-free life. That's far better than becoming the wife of some examination candidate!

Meng Siyu falls silent. The future Yongzheng Emperor is incredibly petty. Could he be bringing her back just to get revenge?

Later, Meng Siyu enters his household as a Han Chinese girl and gradually becomes a gege, a secondary consort, and an Imperial Noble Consort, remaining favored and envied by all.

Meng Siyu: Being a favored concubine is hard! He really did have bad intentions!

The Yongzheng Emperor: Being a favored concubine is hard? I had bad intentions? This is infuriating! Arrange the position of empress, the mother of the nation. I will prove myself!

Theme: When you face a setback, give it one more try. Who knows, things might take a turn for the better.
