Blurb for the upcoming historical romance The Deposed Emperor and Empress: Have They Reclaimed the Throne Today?
-------------------- Blurb for this novel --------------------
[Important] This is not a female-led power fantasy! This is not a female-led power fantasy! This is not a female-led power fantasy! (One-on-one, both leads' first time.)
A cold-hearted, capricious, pampered commandery princess x a self-disciplined, courteous poor scholar who goes mad for love
Pingyang Commandery Princess was capricious by nature, and the favor of the Grand Princess only made her even more arrogant and domineering.
Everyone said that the only person in the world who could keep her in line was Pei Yu, the eldest son of Grand Tutor Pei.
All Pei Yu had to do was look at her, and she would immediately lose her temper.
Pei Yu, the Grand Tutor's eldest son, was courteous and obedient, with a dignified appearance. He was admired by many women.
There was just one thing: he was sickly and kept his distance from women. He was nearly thirty and still unmarried.
But he could not withstand the Pingyang Commandery Princess's relentless pursuit, and the two eventually became engaged.
Both families got their wish and announced that they would hold the grandest wedding banquet in the capital.
But on the day of the wedding, just as the bride and groom were about to perform the ceremony,
Wen Shen, the newly appointed Minister of the Secretariat, burst into the wedding hall with an eight-year-old boy.
The boy ran up to the commandery princess, wrapped his arms around her, and cried, "Mother! Don't you want me and Father anymore?"
-
At just thirty, Wen Shen had risen from humble beginnings to become Minister of the Secretariat after only eight years in government.
He became a highly sought-after match in the eyes of the great clans.
But he had already taken a wife, and even though she was only an orphan from a farming family, he swore he would never marry another.
Wen Shen had indeed taken a wife.
But his wife, Chen Wu, had been missing for years. He had searched far and wide, spending a fortune, but never found a trace of her.
It was only after he arrived in the capital to report for duty that he happened upon the commandery princess's carriage on the road. As he stepped aside and knelt, he caught an accidental glimpse of a richly dressed woman inside...
"That's the Emperor's most beloved niece. She's now promised to the eldest son of the Pei family. How dare you look at her so closely..."
"Yan Buyan does look a little like the eldest Pei young master..."
"..."
If the Emperor's niece was his wife, then who was Chen Wu, the orphan he had married?
If she was promised to the young master of the Pei family, then what did that make him?
A counterfeit, chosen only as a second-best option.
A stain the commandery princess wanted to keep hidden.
One-on-one, both leads' first time.
Things to note:
1. This is not a female-led power fantasy. The plot and romance are in a 7:3 ratio.
2. There are quite a few male supporting characters.
Author's notes:
1. A true romance purist. I only write one-on-one stories where both leads have no prior sexual experience.
2. I was a scale in my past life. If one lead suffers, the other will suffer too. Readers who are extremely devoted to either the male or female lead should read with caution.
3. I'm a lazy good-for-nothing who doesn't like fighting for power. This is neither a female-led nor a male-led power fantasy. I just love retreating to the mountains and forests.

Blurb for the upcoming novel The Deposed Emperor and Empress: Have They Reclaimed the Throne Today?
Zhao Lingyin and Li Chengfeng had never gotten along.
Zhao Lingyin thought Li Chengfeng was a spineless, unambitious emperor. If his ancestors' graves hadn't been so well placed, he wouldn't even have been qualified to slaughter pigs.
Li Chengfeng thought Zhao Lingyin was an ill-mannered, shallow fake noblewoman. If her father hadn't been capable, she wouldn't even have managed to be a kitchen maid.
On their wedding night, they fought so fiercely that the whole palace was thrown into chaos.
But before a year had passed, their army was defeated and the capital fell. Li Chengfeng lost his throne, Zhao Lingyin lost her position as empress, and both of them found themselves on the wanted posters. They fled through hardship, one living a life truly worse than a pig slaughterer's, the other truly worse than a kitchen maid's...

1.
Li Chengfeng kicked the battered wooden basin in front of Zhao Lingyin. "Get up. My woman isn't allowed to do this kind of hard labor."
"You're hallucinating from hunger!" Zhao Lingyin raised her fist and swung it...
Li Chengfeng rolled up his sleeves and sat down on a little stool.
Zhao Lingyin: ..."Now you finally look like a man."
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth. "Once I reclaim the throne, the first thing I'll do is depose you."
Zhao Lingyin gave a cold laugh. "Reclaim the throne? Try filling your stomach first."
2.
"Lingyin, once I reclaim the throne, I'll let you rule the country alongside me."
Zhao Lingyin touched his forehead. "Was there something poisonous in the leftovers we found today?"
"I'm serious."
"Seriously my foot. Anything is possible in a dream."
Li Chengfeng: ...Once I reclaim the throne, I'll really let you...
Zhao Lingyin: Stop dreaming. If we don't sleep now, we'll lose out to those beggars tomorrow morning.
Li Chengfeng: ...
3.
"See that city? If we take it, reclaiming the throne will be within reach. Then you'll be empress again, and my one and only..."
"I was already empress. This time, I want to be empress dowager!"
Li Chengfeng: ...Can you be serious for once?
Zhao Lingyin shrugged. "Then I want to sit on your throne."
Li Chengfeng: Fine, no problem.
Zhao Lingyin: Then you can crouch on the ground.
Li Chengfeng: ...Get lost!

In the third year of Zhaode, the deposed Emperor Li Chi and Empress Dowager Zhao Lingyin led twenty thousand armored soldiers to reclaim Yingdu and restore the fallen dynasty. The Emperor ascended the throne once more and took the reign title Zhaocheng, investing Zhao as Empress Wuhui. The Emperor and Empress rode side by side and worked together in harmony. Yin and yang were in accord, and the realm was at peace. They ushered in a revival of the Ying dynasty, and the world called their reign "the rule of sun and moon shining side by side."
1. One-on-one, both leads' first time.
2. Not female-led, not female-strong, and not a story about two equally strong leads.

Wen Shen, do you really dare to say that? I feel that none of the masterpieces I have watched before are as gentle as this. Finally made it clear
All I can say is, this man is really crazy now.
Finished reading!! Very well written!! Every time I look forward to the author writing a summary or writing "What kind of person is xx". I often read books that are too one-sided and get carried away by the plot, easily overlooking the other side of the character. The author can help me understand better what kind of person that character is. It's such a shame about the eldest princess and the secret guard. I didn't read this article until a few months later. Is it too late to ask for a sequel? Qwq
The first part was very interesting, but then the plot took a huge turn, which I found unacceptable, so I skipped it and gave up. I want to say that it's okay not to be tempted by imperial power, but doesn't this mean surrendering to weakness?! In the end, the male and female protagonists are all weak, and they all feel hopeless and helpless, with no solution at all? It was exaggerated before that the male protagonist is so smart and powerful, but the good guy is gone at this point. He only knows how to cry and cry, but he might as well use his power first. It makes me heartbroken.
1. Because this article is about a 70/30 plot and an emotional relationship, with the emotional line as the main focus, so basically the main text ends when the male and female protagonists are reunited. The rest of the content is mainly about the career line, which will be written in the extra chapter. 2. Does anyone want to watch the extra story about the eldest princess and the secret guard? If you don't want to watch it, I won't write it down (it might be very daggery, giant dagger). 3. Suddenly I realized that I had forgotten the college examination between the county examination and the general examination. Let me find a chance to mend it (collapsed and cried into the wall)
I didn't dare to watch it after the heroine returned to Beijing, so I skipped to the end. It's not that I don't look good, it's that I have a glassy heart. I don't want to hurt Wen Shen and Xiaowu like this. I can't bear to see them sad.
This is the second time I watched it. I still like the part where Mr. Wen is so jealous that he goes crazy hhhhhhhh
Seeing that Wen Shen couldn't hold back, I couldn't hold back either.
Damn it, little men are trouble
The front part is very good, but the back part is a bit boring... The male protagonist is a bit irritating because Pei is crazy and doesn't listen to the female protagonist's explanation. Overall, it's good. The female protagonist is very cute, and the male protagonist is also good, but I thought it would give a little more description to my son.
