Ever since she was young, many monks and Daoist priests, after marveling at her beauty, would add, "Such a face is unlikely to bring good fortune." By the time she realized that these words, which sounded like curses, were actually prophecies, she had already become the infamous seductress destined to go down in history for ensnaring two generations of emperors. The contempt and scorn from the court, the whispers among the common people, the jealousy and hatred in the harem, and that person's obsessive possessiveness... The pressure piled on layer after layer, leaving Jiang Zhao exhausted in body and mind, unable to bear it any longer. But just as she decided to end her meaningless life, she woke up to find that she had taken over another person's body. This woman was the Empress of neighboring Great Jin, born to an eminent family with an impeccable reputation and a dignified appearance. Her husband had a harem of three thousand beauties and did not favor her in particular. But in return, she would not have to face the mad pursuit, plundering, and imprisonment that had once been inflicted upon her. Jiang Zhao understood. Wasn't this the good name and peaceful life she had always dreamed of? From then on, she ate well, slept soundly, and no longer wanted to die. Everything that came before could return to dust. She could simply pretend none of it had happened. Things to Note: 1. The female lead is from ancient times and has the limitations in her thinking typical of people of that era. 2. The female lead has been married more than once and has had a normal married life... Though I suppose that's not really something to warn people about. 3. One-on-one romance. Coming Soon I've just had a plot idea. The title is tentative, but please add it to your collection for now. Blurb for The Princess Consort: Yan Chi lived happily and peacefully for fifteen years, then suddenly died on her fifteenth birthday. She had barely closed her eyes before she was reborn in someone else's body. The good news was that she was alive. The bad news was that she was now her elder brother's princess consort. She had been reborn on the very night the King of Chu wed, and after muddling through the night, she woke the next morning to discover that the deed was done. It was too late to change anything. She was struck as if by lightning. Her brother, sitting by the bed and putting on his clothes with an indifferent expression, turned to her and frowned slightly. "It's getting late... Princess Consort." His expression was as cold as ice, but his face was as beautiful as the moon. He was like a jade tree, lofty and untouchable. Looking at that face, as aloof as a flower atop a high mountain, Yan Chi didn't dare, no matter how bold she was, to say, "I'm your younger sister," right then. Reader's Note: They are, of course, not blood-related. Blurb for [Qing Transmigration] The Harem's Daily Struggle: Wei Sanniu was an ordinary palace maid in the Forbidden City, until one day something calling itself a "System" crashed into her mind. "I am the No. 404 Villainess Ascension System." "After screening literary works and surviving historical records from a thousand years in the future, you have been identified as the biggest villain in the Qianlong Emperor's harem." "Wei Jiasi, all you have to do is complete the System's missions to unlock historical records from the future. Then you'll be able to know what's coming and rise to the top!" Who was Wei Jiasi? Wei Sanniu resisted to no avail, so she decided to make peace with the System. From then on, no matter what it said, she just closed her eyes and replied, "Sure, sure, whatever you say." Finally, the first System mission was issued. "Ding! Empress Fucha is approaching. Use your wit and cunning to leave a deep impression on her. Reward for completion: one passage of text." Then Wei Sanniu was so absorbed in planting flowers that she stepped into the mud, fell into a heap, and rolled right past the Empress's feet. Well, she certainly left a deep impression on the Empress. System: ...Just tell me, did you complete the mission or not? System: But that's not how you were supposed to do it! Wei Sanniu, who had no idea there was a mission: ...What mission? System: The mission was scrolling back and forth above your line of sight for three whole days! Aaaaaah! Wei Sanniu looked up in confusion. System: Oh! I get it! With that, the System immediately switched to traditional characters, eager to correct its mistake. Wei Sanniu continued to stare up in confusion. "..." "..." The System finally understood. The System shrieked: Aaaaaah! Why can't my Host read?! Theme: Finding happiness in an ordinary life.
