Blurb: A pampered, blessed beauty × a fatherly, abstinent, powerful minister

Su Qingfu was transmigrated into a fetus and grew up healthy and worry-free until she was eighteen, when she was sent to the Lin residence to bring good fortune to the family.

Lin Ruhai had only just begun to recover when he saw a pretty young woman sitting on a stool, reaching toward him with a trembling hand holding a damp cloth.

Lin Ruhai: ?

Lin Daiyu, beside him, wept with joy. "Father, the master was right. This young lady really is a little good-luck charm. You really did wake up!"

Everyone in Lianghuai knew that the salt commissioner, now deeply favored by the emperor, was likely to enter the cabinet and become prime minister. Even as a second wife, the noble young women from all the great families tossed their embroidered handkerchiefs at Lin Ruhai, whose face was as handsome as jade, figure tall and straight, and bearing bright and distinguished. They all wanted to become Madam Lin.

Lin Daiyu: "Father, you mustn't be a heartless man and cast Sister Qingfu aside once you've used her!"

Su Qingfu: "No, no, no. You can do that if you like. I don't mind being cast aside!"

Lin Ruhai: "..."

At first, whenever Lin Ruhai went out in Lianghuai with his little wife, whom he'd married to bring good fortune, and his daughter, he would carefully remind them: "If anyone asks, say Qingfu is Daiyu's older cousin. Understand?"

Qingfu and Lin Daiyu nodded obediently.

Later, in the capital, Su Qingfu and Lin Daiyu were walking arm in arm when they "happened to run into" Lin Ruhai, who had just left court.

"If anyone asks, you should say..."

Thinking of the latest rumors, Su Qingfu nodded knowingly. "Qingfu understands. I'll say Brother Lin is my distant uncle."

"No. Say you're my wife."

Reading Guide: One-on-one romance.

A sweet, slice-of-life story, not a power fantasy.

Blurb for the ongoing novel: An emotionally savvy beauty × a cunning, intense, proud emperor

Jialuo transmigrated into the historical Qing Dynasty's first deposed empress, of the Borjigit clan.

History records that Emperor Shunzhi valued frugality, while Borjigit was extravagant and jealous. And because she had been chosen by the regent Dorgon, she and the emperor were at odds.

Jialuo thought that being a little extravagant wouldn't be a problem. Her family was powerful, after all, and spending some money was a small matter.

Jealous?

Jialuo looked at the emperor, cold and distant toward her on their wedding night, and wanted to swear on the spot that she had not the slightest interest in him.

So after they married, she observed her duties as empress. Every day, she either went to the other residence to "recuperate" or went among the people to "make private inquiries," never bothering the emperor at all.

Fulin ascended the throne at six and took personal control of the government at thirteen. He was the first emperor after the Qing army entered the Central Plains. He was deep-minded and skilled at scheming.

He had long been prepared for a Borjigit empress, but he did not like the idea.

Fulin was busy with state affairs and rarely visited the harem. His only impression of the empress was that she was beautiful, extravagant, and domineering.

Later, watching the carefree, open-minded young woman laughing in the courtyard, he realized the empress at the other residence was completely different from the one in the palace.

Little by little, he could no longer take his eyes off her. He began to think that if they could stay together, spending their lives side by side would be just fine.

But then he realized his empress seemed to be waiting for him to become a monk so she could be empress dowager.

Reading Guide:

1. This story has its own take on things. The potential triggers should be clear from the blurb.

2. The hero is beautiful, powerful, and tragic, with an obsessive, unstable personality. This is my first attempt at writing him, and I hope I can do it well. The heroine lives on her own terms and has strong defenses. Neither lead is perfect.

3. You can criticize the author, but please mind your words and don't go overboard. If you really can't bear to read it, feel free to click the X.

4. Alternate history, with many original details.

5. To be added.

Theme: After surviving a desperate situation, enjoy life to the fullest.
