[GB, male lead suffers, proceed with caution]

Princess Jiayun is the emperor's legitimate daughter, a woman of noble standing. Everyone wants to curry favor with the princess's household.

But the princess picks the newly crowned top scholar, Xing Yinan, at first sight.

The princess's exact words: "He looks so cool and aloof. He must be fun."

There has never been anything Jiayun couldn't get, and Xing Yinan is no exception.

What Jiayun doesn't expect is that Xing Yinan will use the power of her household to secretly conspire with her younger brother, usurping the throne.

After the new emperor ascends the throne, the princess loses her power. Her husband, Xing Yinan, divorces her and rises to become the chancellor.

Xing Yinan is a man of excellent character and great promise.

Jiayun sneers in her mansion, then soon raises an army in rebellion. The new emperor is imprisoned, awaiting execution.

Naturally, the next to suffer is Chancellor Xing Yinan, her former husband.

Reading notes: 1. GB

2. The male lead falls first.

Advance interest: Embrace the Bright Pearl

In late spring, word spreads through the palace that the emperor is gravely ill. The crown prince is young, the court is in turmoil, and Princess Gu Mingzhu finds herself at odds with the Prince of a Different Surname, Guan Congxing.

Everyone thinks Gu Mingzhu intends to support the crown prince's claim to the throne, while the prince wants to overthrow the dynasty. Little do they know that Gu Mingzhu has her eyes on the throne herself.

After they are drugged, Gu Mingzhu and Guan Congxing are forced together. Gu Mingzhu doesn't care, but someone please tell her why Guan Congxing has started acting so strangely.

A little scene:

In a pavilion, Gu Mingzhu is enjoying a romantic moment with someone when Guan Congxing arrives and sends everyone away. He then asks her what she was planning to do.

Gu Mingzhu: "He was going to pick grapes and feed them to me."

Guan Congxing raises an eyebrow. "Your Highness has a taste for that?"

Gu Mingzhu neither confirms nor denies it. The man has been sent away, so she doesn't have to eat the grapes.

But she never expects the fearsome prince to bring her grapes and crawl on his knees over to her...

"Your Highness, please enjoy."

A heroine focused on her ambitions from beginning to end x a hero who starts out focused on his ambitions and later becomes lovestruck.

Advance interest 2: The Male Stand-In's Rise

I have a terrible secret.

Five hundred years ago, a demon woman appeared out of nowhere, leaving devastation wherever she went.

Because I look like her late husband, my master gave me a mission: make the demon woman fall in love with me, then kill her on our wedding night.

I didn't tell my master that I'd truly fallen for her, so I decided to switch sides.

But the plan still succeeded. Before she died, the demon woman slashed my face.

She said I didn't deserve to have the same face as that man.

Only later did I learn that the demon woman could neither die nor be destroyed. She had been lying to me.
