Yuan Xiu was blessed with both beauty and talent from a young age, and her fame spread throughout the land. But because of a joke she made as a child, the new emperor's very first decree after ascending the throne was delivered to her family: he would marry her and make her empress.
Yet when she entered the palace, she found the harem empty. As empress, she alone was in charge of the vast palace quarters.
The emperor doted on her alone, and the whole realm envied her. Countless eyes in the court and harem stared at the empty consort positions, wishing they could fill them.
Yuan Xiu spent her days clutching endless account books and smiling wryly.
Still, when she thought of how the emperor took no other consorts, even the hardship seemed sweet.
Until the emperor caught a cold. Yuan Xiu took a bowl of medicine from a palace maid, when suddenly a line of floating comments appeared before her eyes.
[She's here, she's here! The transmigrated woman has arrived with her golden finger!]
[The emperor and empress aren't that close yet. It'll be a piece of cake to steal him!]
[Poor empress. She has no idea this maid will drive her out of the palace and take her place in less than six months.]
[She's about to give him the medicine! It's this doctored bowl that will drive a wedge between the emperor and empress!]
Take her place and drive her out of the palace?
Yuan Xiu smashed the bowl on the floor and went back to her chambers. She was supposed to nurse him and feed him medicine? That dog of a man didn't deserve it.
Emperor: ????
Zhu Shenyao had loved Yuan Xiu since childhood. But after finally marrying her and bringing her into the palace, he always saw her looking troubled and speaking to him with cool distance. He guessed that she loved her cousin, and that forcing her to become empress had only made her unhappy.
Zhu Shenyao could only make it up to her with his supreme status, but he couldn't figure out how to warm her heart.
Then, when he caught a cold, the empress, who had been nursing him, suddenly smashed the bowl of medicine and swept away. After a careful investigation, he discovered that someone had tampered with it.
Zhu Shenyao was so moved that his eyes reddened.
So the empress did care about me after all. The moment she noticed something was wrong with the medicine, she went to investigate.
How could I ever have doubted her sincerity?

The Fake Heiress's Beautiful Mother Is Reborn
Ye Zhixia, who had gone to the city to earn a little money, learned that her child was having a hard time back in their hometown. That very day, she bought a train ticket home to bring her child to the city.
On the way, she had a dream. She dreamed this world was a story about a real and fake heiress. Three years ago, when Lincheng's richest man went to the countryside to find his birth family, he took her daughter away. The pitiful child being mistreated by her family in the village was the real heiress.
After waking up, Ye Zhixia wanted to avoid the melodramatic mess that would come later. She took her skinny little one and stood in front of the car Lin Chixiao had arrived in to take the child home.
[You've got the wrong kid.]
Lin Chixiao looked at his niece, so adorable she seemed carved from jade, then at Ye Zhixia, who looked like her almost exactly. He had no way to argue.
After the children were switched back, Lin Chixiao couldn't sleep for days and nights without the little one he'd raised from infancy. He couldn't help finding excuse after excuse to visit.
Ye Zhixia: “...Looks like you haven't had enough of the joys of being a dad. Here, you can take care of both kids.”
At first, Lin Chixiao really was afraid that Ye Zhixia, who was beautiful and good with children, would take both kids away. He also genuinely believed that children needed a father.
Luckily, Ye Zhixia was so busy that she would ask him for help.
Ye Zhixia: “Kids this young can forget who you are if they don't see you for half a month. You should spend more time with them.”
Lin Chixiao insisted on taking the kids to and from school every day, afraid he'd hear, “Uncle, who are you?”
Ye Zhixia: “A good foundation is important in elementary school. You went to college, so you're better suited to help them than I am. It'll be easier once they reach middle school.”
Lin Chixiao stared at their perfect scores, pulled his hair out, and quietly memorized their textbooks.
Ye Zhixia: “What if they start dating in middle school? You need to set a good example. Don't let some loser sweep them off their feet.”
Lin Chixiao gritted his teeth and kept up his daily workouts and boxing. He couldn't afford to lose a single one of his eight-pack abs.
After getting lost in Ye Zhixia's promises, Lin Chixiao finally raised both kids from diapers to adulthood. Then he looked at Ye Zhixia, who had become the richest person in Lincheng: ...
Don't you have a conscience?
[Content warning: The male lead is a virgin, while the heroine isn't. The heroine has a child out of wedlock with a scumbag, then raises the child without him. The real heiress is the male lead's niece, whom he adopted after his older brother died.]
