After Disguising Myself as a Man, I Was Forced into a Love Triangle

After Wen Yue's family is destroyed, Yu Shubai, the head of Canglan Academy, takes her in. Disguised as a man, she becomes a swordsmanship instructor.

From then on, Wen Yue changes her name and lives under the identity of "Xie Wanning."

Xie Wanning plans to settle down and teach, but her teaching career turns out to be anything but peaceful.

The head of the academy, Yu Shubai, is usually as shrewd and cunning as an old fox. But after getting drunk, his eyes redden at the corners, and he clings to Xie Wanning's sleeve, sighing softly, "Wanning, I've waited for you for so long."

The newly appointed top scholar Shao Muheng, elegant as an orchid and jade tree beneath the moonlit breeze, gets into an argument for the first time in his life. Clutching Xie Wanning's betrothal letter so tightly that his fingertips turn white, he says, "The betrothal has already been exchanged. No matter what, Wanning is the only wife I'll ever have."

The carefree, proud young marquis of the borderlands, Ziche Xun, rides up to her before setting off. Beneath the moonlight, he smiles with unrestrained confidence. "Wanning, if marrying you means defying the whole world, then I, your marquis, will gladly do it."

The powerful and ruthless regent, Ju Jianxing, is despised by everyone for his cruelty. Surrounded by loneliness and coldness, he tells Xie Wanning, "You are the line I will never cross, the one thing I never anticipated after calculating every move."

Four men, four problems. Xie Wanning can't avoid any of them.

Then the whole realm is thrown into turmoil. Xie Wanning draws her sword and goes to war as a woman, conquering all beneath the heavens.

Xie Wanning: "Compared to a love quadrangle or whatever, I'd much rather lead troops into battle."

The other four men: "Huh?"

[Please note]

1. Lots of wish fulfillment and fun, and I really love romantic rivalries!

Coming soon: "The Cross-Dressing Woman Who Became Chief Minister from a Humble Family"

After Zhou Zhining dies of illness, she becomes the eldest son of the second branch of the Zhou family.

The second branch has fallen on hard times. Her father is useless, her mother timid, and she has three older sisters of marriageable age.

Zhou Zhining sighs, secures her secret identity, and resolutely sets out on the path of the imperial examinations.

If she was able to study all the way to a doctorate in her previous life, surely becoming chief minister in this one isn't asking too much, right?

*

Zhou Zhining presses steadily toward her goal, from the county and provincial exams to the metropolitan exam and palace examination. Like a piece of jade, she is polished until her own brilliance shines through.

Along the way, however, some people reach out to her, begging for just one look back.

Heir to a marquis's estate: "A Ning, will you let me stay by your side?"

Young lord of a foreign tribe: "Sister, don't leave me behind!"

Crown prince of the Eastern Palace: "Whatever you want, I can give you."

Zhou Zhining presses her pale lips together. "In this humble official's heart, the realm comes first..."

*

In a catastrophic flood, she is covered in mud as she risks her life to save the victims.

In an earthquake that shakes the earth, she kneels to help a woman give birth.

Amid golden waves of wheat, she accepts the people's bows.

From a low-ranking seventh-grade official posted far from the capital, to fifth, fourth, and third grade, and finally to chief minister of the Great Ming.

Zhou Zhining's name is destined to leave a bold mark on the pages of history.

A career-driven heroine uses modern knowledge to benefit the people of the past. Her charisma comes entirely from who she is. When faced with injustice, she lies low to save her life; once she's powerful, she gives it right back to her enemies.

A feel-good power fantasy, pure and simple.

Another upcoming story: "After Marrying My Sweet Husband"

Nian Xiangxiang is not only beautiful and graceful, with a lovely figure, but also a wonderful cook. The people of Beizhen are sure she'll find a good husband one day.

But who could have guessed that Nian Xiangxiang would still be unmarried past twenty, spending her days rushing between pots and pans, devoted to perfecting her cooking and determined to open the biggest restaurant chain in the country? Meanwhile, her own life is a complete mess.

So the people of Beizhen go from saying, "She'll surely have a good husband one day," to saying, "She'll never have a good life."

But no one expects that, during the first snowfall of the following year, Nian Xiangxiang will bring home a man she found outside.

He is gentle and refined, with handsome, smiling eyes, red lips, white teeth, and a scholarly air. He's just like the noble gentleman described in the Book of Songs.

But to the people of Beizhen, he hardly seems like a gentleman. The Analects says a gentleman should keep his distance from the kitchen, yet he is happy to wash his hands and cook for Nian Xiangxiang.

The Analects says a great man should not be confined to a single room, yet he is willing to sweep the floors and sew clothes for her, tending to every detail.

The Analects also says a gentleman should take an active role in the world, yet he spends his days carrying a bamboo basket to gather herbs and seek medical knowledge, living as carefree as a crane.

Everyone in Beizhen says the man will never amount to much. But Nian Xiangxiang is quite pleased with him, and as soon as the Beginning of Spring arrives, she marries this sweet husband and lets him take care of everything at home.

Everyone is outraged. What kind of world has women working outside and men staying home? Isn't that an insult to men?! They conclude that this husband will never obediently do as he's told!

But the sweet husband turns around in the doorway, his handsome eyes smiling, and gently drapes a coat over Nian Xiangxiang. "My dear, can you come home early today? The child misses you, and... so do I."

Everyone faints.

Please note:

1. Family life, food, business, and the imperial examinations.

2. The male lead really is just an ordinary person, with no grand family background. Later, however, he'll take the imperial examinations for the heroine's sake.

Theme: Love requires a meeting of souls and mutual understanding
