[Revised blurb]
On the eve of learning whether she would become the latest Best Actress to win all three major awards, Lin Zhao transmigrated.
She became Zhao Hede, one of the infamous Zhao sisters in history, known as the "gentle embrace."
If that wasn't enough to make her think Heaven was playing a joke on her,
when she saw that her sister, Zhao Feiyan, looked exactly like the woman from modern times whom the public was always comparing her to,
she could barely keep the bright smile on her face.
Luckily, after testing her in several ways, she confirmed that this sister by blood really was an ancient person.
But that wasn't all. Could someone explain why the legendary virtuous Wang Mang looked exactly like her fanboy?
Had transmigration become a wholesale business these days?
And why had her supposed die-hard fan suddenly become an enemy on the opposing side?
Not one person in the Wang family was any good!
At least there were plenty of handsome men and beautiful women here:
a love-struck emperor who spent money like water, a dashing and handsome young knight who put her first, a cold-faced bodyguard who was ruthless and said little, a valiant young general, a winemaker who looked easy to bully...
She had to say, bring on more! The Western Han dynasty was a paradise for anyone who loved beautiful faces!
She'd thought that to be a seductress, all she had to do was learn how to spend money.
But who knew there would be so many other things to deal with?
Help, she wanted to run away. Please spare her!
All she wanted was to be an utterly ordinary pretty ornament, preferably avoiding her fated death.
What a shame that she was destined to be no carefree, effortlessly successful woman like her mother-in-law...

[Blurb for the new novel, The Substitute for Her Father-in-Law's One True Love in Her Past Life]
When Yang Yuhuan opened her eyes, she found herself back at her uncle's home in Luoyang, returned from Mawei Slope.
In this life, she had not yet married Li Chang, Prince of Shou,
nor had she been forcibly taken to Xingqing Palace by her father-in-law, Li Longji.
Her child would not be forced to hide their true parentage and call someone else mother.
Perhaps she still had a chance to change her fate,
and avoid ending up like she had in her previous life, forced to die before an army of soldiers.
A man's words were like honey when he was in love, but turned poisonous when power was at stake.
This time, she would make him pay!
Who would have guessed that, as Yang Yuhuan investigated one step at a time, long-buried secrets of the imperial court would come to light?
It turned out she, too, was merely a substitute for someone else.
The man who called her his beloved had spent his whole life pursuing a woman he could never have!
Well done, Li Longji. Since you have no feelings, don't blame me for having none either.
What a fine emperor you are. Too bad you died far too late.
How about this: let's make a deal. Let your son, my former husband, take your place.
You could become Retired Emperor a few years early and enjoy a life of leisure!
[Content Warnings]
1. Zhao Hede is not a virgin, in either her past or present life.
2. Liu Ao's ending will be the same as in history. The romance is 1v1 for a period, but he is not the final love interest.
3. Set in an alternate Han dynasty with a mishmash of history and plenty of invented details. Historical purists are not welcome.
4. The entertainment industry characters have no real-life inspirations. Please don't associate them with anyone.
5. The heroine is adored by everyone and does as she pleases. She is neither purely good nor purely evil.
6. The characters' values do not represent the author's.
Theme: The importance of choice
The first time I met Zhao Hede and Zhao Feiyan was in Muyi Tianxia. They were really beautiful.
This description immediately reminds me of Zhao Hede played by Guo Zhenni. Although Tong Liya's Zhao Feiyan is much more beautiful than her, she is still the most beautiful and attractive.
So sweet, so sweet, ah, you are so good at writing
Who is the male protagonist? Not sure, don't dare to look
Wow, it's a rare subject and the author is awesome.
I haven't read the story about Feiyan Hede's time travel, but I'm looking forward to the follow-up, so please do your best!
Haha the heroine is really cute
But the first short skirt for women in history (similar to a sailor suit:-) was created by Wang Mang. There are others, they really look like time travelers
Love it, love it, and I like the relationship between the emperor and He De. I hope there will be more stories about doting on He De.
I'm curious whether ancient people's legs would get sore after sitting for a long time, and whether they would be like those who danced and wouldn't feel the sensation after getting used to certain movements???
