Liu Qingyu, the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister's household, was beautiful, well-read, and well-mannered. She was a celebrated young lady in Luodu.
But Liu Qingyu picked up a man and brought him back to her own courtyard!
The man wore a loose-sleeved robe of blue and was refined and easygoing, making those around him feel as though they were basking in a spring breeze. Liu Qingyu took him for a noble gentleman, as upright as pine and bamboo. But one night, beneath a bright full moon, he appeared before her in red clothes soaked with blood. He had gone out to kill someone!
*
After Zhao Zeshi inherited the throne, he was branded a ruthless man who had killed his father and brother and stopped at nothing to get what he wanted. Everyone knew him as an iron-fisted ruler.
Yet before everyone's eyes, this cold-blooded emperor bent down and brushed the dust from the hem of Liu Qingyu's skirt.
"Your Majesty, this is against proper etiquette," a minister advised.
Zhao Zeshi considered it and nodded. The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could finish exhaling, they saw the emperor scoop her up. "The mountain road is difficult. It would indeed be improper to make a young lady follow me and suffer."
The emperor kept walking, leaving the ministers staring in stunned silence.
Coming soon: I Can't Live Without the Crown Prince
[Bright, confident, straightforward heroine x serious, insecure, clingy hero]
Mo Xingshuang was born into a noble family and had enjoyed an easy life since childhood. But recently, something strange had happened. Her once-vigorous body had become frail and sickly. No amount of rest helped, until one day at a banquet.
When Mo Xingshuang fainted from her illness, the crown prince beside her reached out and caught her. With that one touch, all the pain throughout her body disappeared.
In her excitement, Mo Xingshuang pretended to faint in the crown prince's arms. She stayed there until her maid came to help her up, screaming inwardly, "Don't come over! I've been in pain for days, and this is the first time I've felt better!"
Mo Xingshuang began running into the crown prince again and again.
The crown prince took a step back, his voice cold. "I have a bad temper. If you keep pestering me, Miss Mo, I'll have to tell your father." Mo Xingshuang looked completely sincere. "I'm not trying to pester you. I really can't live without Your Highness the Crown Prince!" So what if he had a bad temper? She still had to drink the medicine, no matter how bitter it was.
Mo Xingshuang threw hundreds of taels of silver at a performer while watching a show, went everywhere with the newly graduated scholar, and even had an annoying cousin always hovering around her! Jealous, the crown prince thought, Didn't you say you couldn't live without me? Why are you so close to other men? He took Mo Xingshuang's hand. She looked at him in confusion. "Your Highness, is something the matter?"
The crown prince spoke with a hint of jealousy. "Miss Mo, are you abandoning me after having your way with me?"
Mo Xingshuang: "..."
Later, Mo Xingshuang's illness stopped flaring up all the time, and she began having fun all over the capital. One night, when she came home late, she found the crown prince looking like a neglected wife. He sighed. "I hear only the new love's laughter, never the old love's tears." On the bed, Mo Xingshuang's eyes were red and glistening with tears. Her fingers were intertwined with the crown prince's, and her voice came in broken gasps...
Before their wedding, everyone in the capital knew how much effort Miss Mo had put into pursuing the crown prince, and how she had thrown herself into his arms without hesitation. (Mo Xingshuang: Explain what you mean by throwing myself into his arms! I was grabbing on to my lifeline!) After they married, however, she became a completely different person. The crown prince clung to his crown princess at every opportunity and couldn't bear to be apart from her for even a moment.
Mo Xingshuang: They don't know that I really can't live without the crown prince. (Literally. Don't read too much into it.)
Crown Prince: Shuang'er really does love me!

Currently updating: "The Favorite of Powerful Ministers" Babies, please collect it, thank you~ The cold and powerful minister vs. The glamorous lady The ladies who came to Beijing all knew that Yan Ting was cowardly, stupid, and could be bullied. They always took pleasure in teasing her at every banquet. Xie Jun, a powerful minister, fell in love with Yan Ting at first sight and asked his Majesty to grant her marriage. When Xie Jun accompanied Yan Ting to a banquet for the first time, a woman sent Yan Ting to make tea. Xie Jun held Yan Ting's uneasy hand and said, "Sit down, I'll do it." The woman who summoned Yan Ting was frightened. How dare she ask Xie Xiang to make tea for her! When Xie Jun came back with tea, the woman was almost unconscious. Xie Jun whispered in Yan Ting's ear, and Yan Ting's face turned red. She pinched Xie Jun's fingers and shook her head, "No." It's too shameful to show affection in front of so many people. Xie Jun pecked her earlobe and stopped Yan Ting from blushing. He brought the tea cup to Yan Ting's mouth and fed her. The woman who summoned Yan Ting lowered her head and lowered her sense of presence, just hoping that her father and brother would not be harmed because of her. Later, Yan Ting became accustomed to Xie Jun's favor. On rainy days, she would stretch out her arms and let Xie Jun hug her to avoid getting her shoes, socks, and skirts wet. Colleagues all said that Xie Jun doted on his wife too much and that his husband was weak. Xie Jun stood up suddenly. Colleagues thought that Xie Jun was angry and looked nervous, but Xie Jun said: "My lords, Xie is going home." After Xie Jun left, his colleagues whispered: "By the way, Prime Minister Xie has never returned home later than Xu Shi since he got married, and there is no curfew. Why are you in such a hurry?" "There's no curfew, no access control." Xie Jun was locked out by Yan Ting at this time. He coaxed: "Madam, I will never mess around tonight." Yan Ting shook her head resolutely, "No." She had thrown away a few sheets these days. If she did this again, she would be embarrassed to see others. When the water was passed around in the middle of the night, Xie Jun smiled happily. Yan Ting was tired and angry. She didn't even have the strength to kick someone, so she could only say angrily: "You are not allowed to enter my room tomorrow!" [The heroine was not confident in the early stage and kept growing.
