My new novel, Second Marriage to the New Emperor, is now available. If you like it, please add it to your collection. Thank you!
1. Shen Nian is the favored consort of the Great Zhou emperor, bearing the title Consort Chen and renowned as the most beautiful woman in the imperial harem.
Even the purple luminous pearl hanging from the canopy of her bed was personally chosen by the emperor from among the treasures presented by Leizhou.
Ji Rongsheng forbade her from painting, doing needlework, and even reading after nightfall.
At first, Shen Nian thought he was simply worried about her and didn't want her to tire herself out.
It wasn't until Ji Rongsheng personally led a campaign to Liangzhou and brought back his cousin that Shen Nian stood atop the city wall, overjoyed to welcome the royal army home, only to see a woman in his arms whose features resembled hers.
The lantern slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. She stood in the snow and wind for most of the night, forgetting even how to cry.
His cousin had been born with a debilitating illness and could barely see. To cure her eyes, Ji Rongsheng cruelly took Shen Nian's.
Her heart and spirit shattered. Driven to despair, she burned herself to death.
Reborn three years earlier, before she had ever entered the palace, she might yet avoid the same tragic fate as in her previous life...
2.
The Crown Prince, Ji Rongsheng, often dreams of his previous life: a woman in splendid clothes, her eyes covered with white silk, dying a terrible death before him as a raging fire consumes her.
He rushes into the flames to save her, but can only clutch two burning coals. When he opens his hands, the flesh of his palms is already a bloody ruin.
Later, Ji Rongsheng remembers his previous life and finally understands that after three years together, he has already become unable to live without Shen Nian.
He finds her and begs for a chance to start over, swearing to cherish and love her for the rest of his life.
At the Xie family selection banquet, he lies gravely wounded and unable to move, forced to watch as his uncle carries away Shen Nian, who has been drugged. That is when he goes mad.
He schemes to force her into marriage and resorts to every means to imprison the beauty in the Eastern Palace, only to drive the woman he loves further and further away.
One day, news spreads from the Prince Regent's manor that his uncle is engaged to Shen Nian. At a palace banquet, the Prince Regent holds Shen Nian's hand in his, smiling as he says, "Sheng'er, come here. Let me introduce you. Niannian is your aunt by marriage."
Dazed, Ji Rongsheng crushes the wine cup in his hand, and shards of porcelain bite into his flesh.
3.
In the eyes of the world, Ji Lingzhou is a peerlessly handsome and virtuous Prince Regent. But he has always kept a secret in his heart: he longs for his own nephew's consort.
He knows there can be no happy ending, yet still throws himself into it, burying all the love he cannot confess deep in his heart. He has loved Shen Nian through two lives and protected her with his life in both.
[Little Scene] Shen Nian escapes from the Eastern Palace and climbs over the wall into the Prince Regent's manor. Her cheeks are flushed, her voice hoarse. She hooks a finger into the Prince Regent's jade belt and begs with reddened eyes, "Please, Your Highness, let Niannian stay."
Rumor has it that the Prince Regent, who never shows interest in women, is hiding a beauty in his manor and cherishing her like his own heart.
Shen Nian says, "These rumors damage Your Highness's good name. Niannian should leave as soon as possible."
"Then I shall make the rumors true. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau says tomorrow is an auspicious day for a wedding."
[Clear-eyed, sweet beauty vs. sickly, unhinged, smiling Prince Regent]
Note: 1. The male lead pursues the female lead after losing her, but she refuses to rekindle their relationship. A gentle second male lead wins her heart.
2. The female lead is reborn in Chapter Seven. The setting is a fictionalized Tang-Song era, with original worldbuilding.
3. The Prince Regent is frail because he was poisoned, but he will recover later.
My new novel, Second Marriage to the New Emperor. Here is the blurb:
The current emperor is violent, tyrannical, and debauched.
Cui Ying is about to enter the palace in another woman's place.
Cui Ying has no choice and cannot escape. After entering the palace, she suffers one humiliation after another.
The emperor indulges in wine and women. He orders her to wear the revealing dance costume of a foreign courtesan and perform an erotic dance for everyone's entertainment.
He has heard that Cui Ying was once engaged to Lu Tingyun, a rising court favorite, and orders Lu Tingyun to paint the scene so they can enjoy music and dancing together.
That is also the first time Cui Ying meets Lu Tingyun. He is cold and distant, and her dignity is reduced to nothing.
*
Cui Ying never competes for favor, and is gentle and dignified. Gradually, the emperor grows quite pleased with this virtuous empress.
Until one day, while the emperor and his consorts are amusing themselves in the imperial garden, he discovers the empress in a peony grove, her clothes disheveled and her face flushed. The figure of the man walking away as he straightens his clothes looks like Lu, the powerful chancellor.
He assumes the wine has clouded his eyes and that he didn't see clearly.
Later, the emperor catches them by a hot spring. Water mingles with soft moans. Furious, he barges through the door, only to see the chancellor holding a brush dipped in cinnabar and painting on the empress's beautiful shoulder blades.
Cui Ying glances up at him, not the least bit alarmed, and strokes Lu Tingyun's face. "Lord Lu, would you like to know what it feels like to be emperor?"
Lu Tingyun follows her gaze and looks toward the emperor. His voice is gentle, but his words are treasonous: "Why would I refuse the chance to be with you openly and lawfully?"
The emperor is enraged, but can do nothing about it.
*
Lu Tingyun and Cui Ying were engaged. If Cui Ying had not entered the palace and become the emperor's consort, the day he went to ask for her hand would have been just around the corner.
But so be it. A phoenix does not perch on a parasol tree, and he hardly considers himself a good man. He has no desire to stand in the way of someone else's good fortune.
Yet on the day he first meets Cui Ying, Lu Tingyun thinks: Just because the phoenix won't perch on my branch doesn't mean I can't force it to.
He knows Cui Ying is afraid, and each night he murmurs softly as they embrace, "Don't be afraid or cry, Your Majesty. I am here. Soon, you will be mine."
For Cui Ying, he has developed treasonous ambitions.
Later, he gets what he wants.
When their passion is at its height, he calls her, "My empress, my Yingying."
And insists that she answer, "Your concubine is here. I am here."
Reading guide: 1. A story of growth and healing each other.
2. Both are virgins. The male lead pursues the female lead after losing her, with forced possession and a minister taking the emperor's wife.
3. Neither lead is perfect. The female lead is calculating and alluring, and finds it hard to fall in love. The male lead becomes darker later on.
4. Important: the female lead and the emperor are only married in name, with no actual marital relationship.
Theme: Love someone without losing yourself or your principles.

It's a vicious story. The heroine will only cry throughout the whole process. When the scumbag confesses, she will only say that she will never marry you in this life, and then anger the scumbag and let him pinch her chin and choke her neck. Then the scumbag started to suffer again, I have loved you so much in my life, but you don't like me, and then he confessed his love to me, and the heroine cried again, and then I will never marry you in this life! He didn't mention anything about his past life, or how bad the scumbag was. But if he did, the scumbag wouldn't be able to act affectionate, and he would feel wronged! This woman is really not worthy of the regent. There is something wrong with the author's writing. The heroine was still thinking about how to break off the engagement with the regent. She heard that the regent was going out to find the regent in order to save herself. The purpose of forcibly subduing her was to allow the prince to rob her on the way, capture her brother, and let her go to the East Palace on her own initiative. When we arrived at the East Palace, it was another round of confessions from the scumbag. The heroine refused and I will never marry you in this life. The scumbag pinched her chin and choked her neck. Anyway, let's not talk about the injuries in the previous life, which made the scumbag feel aggrieved. Everyone, avoid lightning!
The heroine's mother is not a wimp at all. Her good cards are broken, she has no housekeeping rights, her dowry is pawned by a concubine, she can't protect her children, she has no bottom line in life, she doesn't want to fight, she can always take care of her body, but even this is too lame. Also, the regent hesitated when he shot the arrow at the end, and it felt like something was weird, and his reaction was different from normal people. In the end, the heroine was forcibly taken into the East Palace, and the regent went to rescue her, and then went back on his own?? In the end, the heroine ran back by herself. Alas, I just feel that the regent is not strong enough.
The new book "Pillow Girl" has been released, please support the new book! Cui Ying was the legitimate daughter of the Cui family in Hedong. She was born with a snow-skinned face, as beautiful as a peony. She made an engagement with Lu Tingyun, the eldest son of Lu, early on. As soon as she was born, Lu Tingyun came to ask for her hand in marriage. That year, the eldest sister was accused of marrying into the palace, so she was pushed out and married on her sister's behalf. She sacrificed her dignity and asked for help from the Lu family, but she had to cancel the engagement with a marriage certificate... Upon discovering that the queen had been replaced, the emperor resorted to humiliation in various ways. He threw Cui Ying a waist-baring dance dress worn by a dancer from the Western Regions and asked her to dance in public for fun. He also ordered the upstart Lu Tingyun to paint this scene under the high platform. The emperor was drunk and dreaming, and dropped his cup. "Beautiful is beautiful, but it is as stiff as wood, which is really boring." Lu Tingyun saw the tears in her eyes. Although his eyes were cold and distant, he still took off his robe to cover her embarrassment. When the rebels attacked the city, Cui Ying proposed a plan to retreat from the enemy and raised the eldest prince, who lost his mother at a young age, by his side. The emperor gradually discovered that the little empress was gentle and generous, gentle and tolerant, and she happily accepted his indifferent treatment without sadness or joy. He then thought about treating the queen better in the future. One day, the emperor and his concubine were playing in the back garden for fun. Among the peonies, they discovered that the queen was disheveled and her face was flushed. The back of the man who was fully clothed and walking away looked like the powerful Prime Minister Lu. He just thought he was drunk and dazzled, but didn't see the real thing. Later, he bumped into the hot spring pool, and the running water was mixed with moans. He was so angry that he knocked on the door and came in. He saw Prime Minister Lu dotting cinnabar and writing on the beautiful butterfly bone... Lu Tingyun originally suppressed the delusions in her heart, until that night, she drew on her eyebrows and put on red lips, and came in a hurry. Her hand painted with Dankou brushed his chest like a feather: "Master Lu, would you like to taste what it's like to be an emperor?" Since it is what she wishes, he will do what she wishes. But she should never want to end her relationship with him and pretend that nothing happened. "Some things, once they start, can't be stopped just by the Queen's command." Instructions for use: 1. Double c, chase the wife in the crematorium, take the wife by force, and take the wife of the king. 2. Neither the female protagonist nor the male protagonist is a perfect character. The female protagonist is partial to the machine-fishing type and is difficult to tempt. The male protagonist will turn dark in the future.
The timeline is wrong, she was detained in the East Palace for three days, and after the regent came to propose marriage, Nian Nian was not seen for three days and was worried before going out, and then was detained, so she should have not seen the regent for six days.
I just want to say that the second male lead was a scumbag in the early stage and I think he did okay in the later stage. This male protagonist did okay in the early stage and the later stage. I really can't stand it. His wife was injured and was held hostage, but he could kill the enemy without saving his wife. I think it's too irritating. I think it's quite touching that the second male lead still thought about the female lead before dying. Anyway, in general, the male protagonist and the second male protagonist have good things, but the male protagonist failed to save the female protagonist. I felt that the female protagonist picked it up high and put it down gently, which was really speechless. Throw a brick instead of a bunch of bricks. What the author wrote still has merit, and some of the jokes are quite enjoyable to watch. By the way, the male protagonist I mentioned is the regent, and the second male protagonist is the emperor.
The male protagonist is really a bit of a loser. It doesn't matter if he is not in good health, but he must be resourceful. The female protagonist is really speechless after being unable to keep up with each other over and over again. She is still reborn...
The next book will be "Qingqing in the Palm". Those who like it, please click and collect it! 1. Cui Ying was the legitimate daughter of the Cui family in Hedong. She was born with a snow-skinned complexion and was as beautiful as a peony. She made a marriage contract with Lu Tingyun, the eldest son of Lu. As soon as Cui Ying got her hairpin, Lu Tingyun came to propose marriage. Cui Ying also had an eldest sister who stood out and was favored. It was just that she was robbed of the limelight. That year, Empress Zhaoyuan passed away and the Cui eldest daughter was selected to be the queen. The eldest sister was sent out of the city overnight to recuperate. Cui Ying was pushed out and married on her behalf. Once Lu Shangshu was convicted and imprisoned, the Lu family fell into disgrace. Lu Tingyun came to propose to Cui Ying with a marriage certificate, but was humiliated by the Cui family head. The Cui family tore up the marriage contract, threw him a letter of disownment written by Cui Ying, and drove him out of the Cui Mansion. 2. In the 16th year of Yuanhe, Cui Ying entered the middle palace. Emperor Wei Yi discovered that the queen had been replaced. Lei Lei was furious and humiliated her in various ways. He threw her a waist-revealing Hu costume like a dancer from the Western Regions and asked the queen to dance in public for fun. He also ordered the upstart Lu Tingyun to paint this scene under the high platform. The emperor was drunk and had a nightmare. He threw his cup and was humiliated in public: "It's beautiful when it's beautiful, but it's as stiff as wood, it's really boring." Lu Tingyun saw the tears in Cui Ying's eyes. Although his eyes were cold and distant, as if they were tempered with ice, he still took off his robe and threw it to Cui Ying, covering her whole body in embarrassment. 3. When the rebels attacked the city, the queen offered a plan to retreat from the enemy. She helped Wei Yi annihilate King Zhao's rebels. She also raised the tenth prince, who lost his mother at a young age, as his own son. The emperor gradually discovered that the little queen was gentle and generous, gentle and tolerant, and she accepted his indifferent treatment without sadness or joy. He then thought about treating the queen better in the future. One day, the emperor took the concubines of the harem to play in the back garden for fun. Among the peonies, they found that the queen was disheveled and her face was flushed. The back of the man who was fully clothed and walking away showed the powerful Prime Minister Lu. The emperor only thought that he was drunk and dazzled, but did not see the truth. Later, he bumped into Cui Ying by the hot spring pool, half-dressed, and Lu Tingyun started painting on Cui Ying's beautiful butterfly bones covered with red marks. Only then did he realize that the queen was gentle and generous because she never cared, and she was gentle and tolerant because she already had someone in her heart. The soft little white flower queen x the cold, arrogant and powerful minister Instructions for use: A woman is not a man, she chases her wife in the crematorium, takes her by force, a minister seizes his wife, and there is another secret behind breaking off the letter.
The next book will be "Qingqing in the Palm", where you chase your wife in the crematorium, forcefully marry and seize her, and the king seizes his subject's wife. If you like it, please click to save it! Thank you!
The female protagonist is too passive, and the male protagonist is always on the way to being healed.
I like Nian Nian's character. But I feel like the male protagonist is so weak
