"I saved you, so you'll be mine forever. Understand?"
The man, whose elegance made him seem almost immortal, had a gentle air and tender eyes. His tone carried an unmistakable hint of coaxing.
At the time, Ruyan was a lowly courtesan at Zhaoyun House. Desperate to avoid humiliation, she agreed to Xie Huaimo's terms without thinking too deeply about the chilling meaning behind his words.
And so she became one of the beautiful concubines of the Duke's heir, bearing him an adorable, delicate daughter. Xie Huaimo treated her like a precious treasure, showering her with tenderness until she fell for him.
Until one day, she said she wanted to go out.
"Are you thinking of leaving, Yanyan?"
He smiled as he asked. Ignoring her shaking her head and protesting, he made her drink an entire bowl of muscle-relaxing poison.
He kept making her drink it for half a month.
After that, Ruyan never again tried to set foot outside the Duke's estate.
Later, she died without seeing him one last time.
Reborn as someone else, Ruyan uses her own wits to secure a place in the Marquis of Dingbei's household. She becomes the third young lady, recorded in the family register, and gains the respectable status and wealth she had never even dreamed of in her previous life.
Leaving the past behind, Ruyan wants nothing more to do with Xie Huaimo.
But now that he has recognized her, how could he possibly let her go?
"Yanyan, I didn't want to force you. I waited patiently for you, and yet you want to marry someone else?"
He smiles like a spring breeze, but in an instant she feels as if she's been struck by lightning, chilled to the bone from head to toe.
So he really had recognized her long ago.
Reader's notes:
1. One-on-one romance, both leads' first time, happy ending. Entirely fictional setting.
2. A breathtaking beauty of the marquis's household x a lofty, aloof man pretending to be gentle.
3. Reborn in the same timeline, with the heroine taking on a different identity.
4. Neither lead is perfect. This is the author's first story, so please be understanding of any shortcomings.
5. If something doesn't suit your taste, please let me know kindly, or feel free to leave and find a story that's more to your liking.
Best wishes!

Three years ago, amid a change of government and the chaos of war, Yunzhu once pulled a handsome young man, his underclothes undone, out of a lotus pond. She rescued him and even made him a bowl of chicken soup.
Only after the chaos outside had passed did she learn that the boy who blushed around her was the very same man who later won the political struggle and ascended the throne.
The emperor sent someone to ask what she wished for. But the vast difference in their rank and status left Yunzhu dumbfounded. She only dared ask for a hundred taels of silver, then hurried to put distance between them.
By a twist of fate, she later entered the palace as a maid, accompanying the neglected Lady Su. There, she was targeted at every turn.
To stay alive, Yunzhu had no choice but to swallow her pride and bring up their old connection, hoping to help her mistress become the emperor's principal consort.
Who could have guessed that, through a series of mishaps, her mistress would end up confined in the Cold Palace?
With no other choice, Yunzhu takes matters into her own hands, hoping to rescue her at the smallest possible cost.
But as she works to get her mistress out, she ends up taking her place as principal consort instead.
Xiang'an grew up alongside His Majesty and is his trusted, ever-busy attendant. He knows what happened back then, but never recognized the face involved.
Because His Majesty paid attention to Qingyi Palace, he assumed that the person who had once shared a fateful connection with the emperor was Lady Su, who held a proper rank.
So when he reluctantly decided to have Yunzhu, who happened to come across them, give the emperor an antidote after he was poisoned with Yichun Powder, he went through quite a struggle in his heart.
But who could have expected that after waking up and discovering he had lost his chastity, the emperor, who had guarded his virtue for twenty years, wouldn't be devastated or angry? Instead, his ears turned red, as if he were about to transfer his affections to someone else.
Only then did Xiang'an realize how terribly wrong he'd been.
Good heavens! As the emperor's most trusted chief palace eunuch, he'd mistaken the future empress for someone else!
[Reader's notes]
1. One-on-one romance, both leads' first time, happy ending. Entirely fictional setting.
2. A big-hearted palace maid x an innocent emperor, perhaps the top student in the School of Virtuous Husbands.
Theme: Beauty may change, but the heart remains the same.
I haven't had time to read the novel for a few days, and it's already finished. This is the only new author I follow who insists on updating it and signing a contract. It's really great. After seeing a long comment, I also had the desire to say a few words. As for the slight shortcomings, I have the same view as Chang Ping. What I mainly want to say is that the author's writing style is really good. The writing style is not novice and the vocabulary is rich, which is enough to constitute a complete novel. Even if the plot is a bit bland, overall it seems that there is no big fault. Next, we only need to add more ideas on this basis to make the story more ups and downs and interesting, and improve the character of the protagonist to make it more three-dimensional. Then we will definitely be able to write a better novel that can attract a large number of collections. The cn works of new authors are already very good when written like this. Currently, they have more than 80 collections. In fact, I think they are buried. After all, new authors have little traffic and fan base, so they suffer a lot. I have followed several other new works, and some of them with 150 or 300 collections are not as good as this one (based on my personal reading standards). It can be seen that for new authors, lack of success also plays a large part in luck. It is not that this article is really only worth 80+ collections. Personally, I think this book deserves more collections if it has the opportunity to be seen by more people. I used to read it in Xiaoxiang. Not long after I downloaded Jinjiang, I gave up after reading a few novels without seeing the V version. I haven't found a novel I like and want to subscribe to (the most popular novels nowadays are either BL, unlimited streaming or historical, so I'm not interested). I hope that the author's next article can be successfully added to V and become my first subscription.
The male protagonist's all-white and black costume is very lovable. But the heroine doesn't seem to have much personality charm. She is just an ordinary woman with good looks, low status, feudal tradition, and no temper. The male protagonist saw the female protagonist trying to jump off the building in a brothel and fell in love with her for no reason, which was a bit rash. Then the female protagonist looked at her other face after rebirth and spoke in a sad and emotional tone before being recognized by the male protagonist. The logic is a bit far-fetched. It would be better to simply set it up as a cheat that "the male protagonist can be recognized at a glance without any reason", so that there is no need to be logical.
Another thing I want to praise is that there is no random female supporting character to cause trouble between the male and female protagonists and make the female protagonist cruel and jealous, which is good. This is also the reason why I haven't given up on writing even though the heroine's design is weak and imperfect (I haven't read them all yet, so far I haven't seen the vicious female protagonist causing misunderstandings and sadomasochism). At least the male protagonist can't fault the female protagonist when it comes to his relationship, and he doesn't abuse her at all, which is good. As for the flaws in his character, I can only say that if you read ancient texts, you cannot impose modern ideas on the other person. After all, it is an ancient background. It would be better if the male protagonist could synchronize with modern ideas and completely respect and obey the female protagonist. But it is normal for the male protagonist to retain some of the ancient thoughts (after all, he is an ancient prince and noble, not an ordinary citizen in ancient times).
That's it?????? What's the point of this explanation???? The scumbag still has the nerve to blame the heroine for not listening. It's not because he imprisoned the heroine before that the heroine didn't believe him. Now it's his fault that the heroine doesn't listen to his explanation.
I read it again carefully. The writing is really good and the plot is interesting. I feel like it would be better if the heroine was the kind of wise, calm, and calm heroine. However, the psychological activities of the heroine are always described in such a way that she is too timid and frightened at every turn, which makes the reader feel very aggrieved. The writing style is really good. No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't be offended. Personally, I think the shortcoming is the character.
Thank you very much. Don't you know that there are some things in the girl's family that you can't shirk? Why are you so angry? Why don't you behave well? Come out and apologize to your wife in a serious manner.
Come on, madam, it's hard to be a single player, so I'm here to leave a message, come on, come on!
This is not the third time that the heroine has been forced to do something bad, but the fourth time!! When I met the male protagonist in the previous life, when I was forced to die by the male protagonist's brothers to reveal my ambition, in this life, I was set up by the fourth prince and the male protagonist in turn, plus this time, it was four times!!!
Fair wife???? After all, she is still a concubine, but she is a bit more advanced, not inferior to the wife.
The new article "Jin Tingjun's Favor" has been published. Dear friends, you can take a look and collect it~ ——Three years ago, when the government and opposition parties changed and the war was in chaos, Yunzhu once fished a handsome young man with his shirt off from the lotus pond, rescued him and made him a bowl of chicken soup. When the chaos outside had passed, she realized that the boy she had picked up with red ears in front of her was the emperor who later defeated the party dispute and ascended the throne. The emperor sent someone to ask her what she wished for, but Yunzhu was dumbfounded by the huge difference in status and status. She only dared to ask for a hundred taels of silver and hurriedly drew a clear line with him. Unfortunately, after going round and round, she accompanied the unpopular Master Su into the palace and became a palace maid, and was targeted at every turn. In order to survive, Yunzhu had no choice but to shamelessly bring up the past, hoping to straighten her little master. Who would have thought that due to countless mistakes, her little master would be imprisoned in the cold palace. Helpless, she had no choice but to go into battle herself, hoping to fish people out at the lowest cost. But he didn't want to fish for it, but he straightened himself up!
