On the very first day after transmigrating, Xie Yuyan was forced into a hellish start:
Her entire family was slaughtered, her city was razed, and she had to flee disguised as a man under the original owner's identity as the legitimate son.
When she first sought refuge with General Feng, all she wanted was to build a career.
With a mind full of modern technology, she could climb the ranks and earn a raise thanks to a time gap of over a thousand years.
Until the aloof beauty, gravely wounded, lay weakly in her arms, pale and fragile, unable to resist. Suddenly, she thought... being a womanizer wasn't so bad.
Everyone said General Feng was as cold as the snow in the far north that never melted. But they didn't know that when the candlelight glowed red, he would furrow his brow and struggle to hold back a gasp. "Don't you dare cry later..."
"You couldn't bear to let me," she said, pinning down his hands with a brazen smile.
Bonus Scene
At some point, the line "The emperor and his general unfasten their armor, then spend a spring night in a warm hibiscus-curtained bed" became all the rage in the capital.
The ministers looked at the emperor's ethereal, aloof face and could hardly connect him with the poem.
This sort of irreverent verse did sound like something the empress would write. Besides, before ascending the throne, the emperor had been a mighty general renowned throughout the realm.
But if the empress had written it, referring to herself as "I, the emperor" would be treasonous beyond measure.
One bold censor really did accuse the empress of harboring sinister ambitions and coveting the imperial throne, right in front of the emperor and empress.
The empress sat on the dragon throne with a knowing smile, but before the censor could finish, the emperor spoke coldly: "I wrote it."
The hall fell utterly silent. The ministers' silence was deafening.

Theme: Take control of your own life.
I've been here many times, haven't you been writing lately?
You've been updating more diligently these days. Are you finished with your work?
You should write slowly, as long as you are not in prison. It is really too cold now. The main reason is that you have been away for too long, and this account is not as easy to maintain as a new account. If you are impatient and want to open a new account, remember to tell me.
It's not enough to see, it's so hard to wait. Let's have some people take a look at the collection and let her get clipped.
I'm so happy. I haven't read it in the past two days, but three chapters have been updated. Have you recovered from your cold?
Then you can write it down slowly and then update it. You still have to remember to apply for the list.
🥺 You said you would update every other day and it wouldn't look too cool, so you're just a eunuch.
Don't stop writing if you think it's too cool. As long as you persist, people will naturally join you once you're on the list.
I took a look at your old articles and collected some of them. I went to the introduction and opened a chapter about a new book to attract people.
I took off my war robes with the general, spent the spring night warm in the hibiscus tent, and slept together under the mandarin duck quilt. From now on, the king will not go to court early. You haven't written for a long time. There are only 11 people. Hurry up and apply for the list. There are too few people reading now. I'm so afraid that you are a eunuch again.
