[Brooding, jealous emperor VS carefree, straightforward beauty]
#A terrible man with a sincere heart# #You can put on an act; I'll just flip the table# #He chases, she runs, and she breaks his wings#
The cruelest thing in the world is when your lover changes their heart while searching for you.
By that measure, modern college student Yin Xiu has had terrible luck.
She and her childhood sweetheart, Liu Yun, transmigrate to the end of the Western Han dynasty. By a twist of fate, Liu Yun kills the prophesied Son of the Era and declares himself emperor. Yin Xiu is forced into a promotion, becoming empress and mother of the realm.
She thinks he made her empress because he loves her. But she never realizes that she's merely a tool for balancing the court.
She thinks he loves the empire more than beauty. But the truth is, he simply doesn't love her.
He says, “As long as you behave, you'll always be empress.” But he can't give her authority over the harem, and he can't summon her to his bed, because she feels insecure, because she'll get jealous.
Yin Xiu wants to tell him she never wanted to be empress that badly.
But when she thinks about staying by his side, the words die on her lips.
*
Later, Yin Xiu discovers that the history books say Liu Yun's empress won't live for more than three years.
So he can't bear to make the woman he loves empress.
So her death is just around the corner? Will someone speak up for her?!
Yin Xiu: Whoever wants this thankless job can have it. I! Am! Getting! Out!
*
Three years later, the palace banquet glows with lamplight.
Yin Xiu, now the newlywed wife of Prince Duan, stands smiling with a cup in her hand, leaving everyone speechless.
Liu Yun grabs her wrist, his voice hoarse with anguish. “You're still alive...”
The powerful imperial uncle beside her smiles and blocks his way. “Your Majesty, by the rites, you should address her as your aunt.”
The whole hall falls silent. Only Yin Xiu smiles, slips her hand from her sleeve, and asks with feigned innocence, “When you meet an elder for the first time, shouldn't you kowtow, Your Majesty?”
[Bonus Scene]
They say that after Empress Yin died, the emperor was overcome with grief and suspended court for three days.
Yin Xiu herself kicks back and enjoys the show, clicking her tongue in amazement. “Liu Yun's acting is incredible. If he doesn't win an Oscar, the whole entertainment industry can shut down.”
The chancellor asks in a low voice, “Aren't you afraid the emperor will really go mad?”
Yin Xiu cracks a melon seed and lifts her red lips in a smile. “Let him go mad. I'll get a new husband and enjoy being a beautiful widow. When he dies, I can inherit his estate. :)”
The chancellor, quietly: So, would you consider changing husbands to me?
▼Reader's Guide▼
1. The heroine is an unparalleled beauty, a natural flirt, and clear-headed, never dwelling on things. All she wants is to flip the table and live out a satisfying life. P.S. The male lead and every other man love her. They really love her!
2. The male lead is a dog among dogs at first. Later, he gets his comeuppance and burns to ashes, but the heroine might just get a new husband (? )
3. Whether it has a happy or tragic ending depends on how miserable the male lead can get (just kidding). You might not believe this, but both the male lead and the other male character are virgins.
4. Set in an imaginary Eastern Han dynasty. The leads are loosely inspired by Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua, but the main plot is all made up by the author.

Coming soon: The Marquis's Pampered Concubine (Reborn). I'm rolling around and begging you to add it to your collection! Blurb:
In her previous life, Lu Hanci was the legitimate daughter of her family, but her birth mother died early, and she grew up on an estate. When she was finally brought back to the family home, it was because her stepmother wanted her to help her elder sister, already the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, keep her husband's favor.
Everyone knew that although Duke Xie Shaoyu was handsome, he was sinister, ruthless, and violent, hardly a suitable husband.
Lu Hanci refused. But one night, after drinking the fruit wine her elder sister gave her, her face flushed as if it were on fire, and her body no longer felt like her own.
After that night, she was taken as a concubine and never saw the light of day again.
By day, her elder sister tormented her.
By night, he possessed her without restraint, as if trying to erase every trace of anyone else from her.
Until the new emperor ascended the throne and held a banquet in the palace.
Only then did Hanci realize that she looked very much like the new emperor's late beloved consort.
*
Reborn, Hanci secretly resolves to make everyone in the Duke's household pay.
“Your Majesty,” she says, her eyes like spring water, as she reaches out and hooks a finger into his sash. “Please show me mercy.”
His gaze is cold as ice. “Are you sure you want this?”
No one knows he's waited so long for this moment.
A ruler stealing his minister's wife is inauspicious. So be it.

1. The second male lead takes the leading role.
2. The heroine is not a virgin. In her first life she was an innocent white lotus; in her second, a black-hearted schemer. Whoever she wants dead, dies.
3. The second male lead is no good either. Everyone is wicked.
4. Includes household intrigue and a little political scheming.

Queen Yin, Queen Guo, alas. Liu Xiu married Guo Shengtong in order to gain the support of the forces in Hebei. After becoming the emperor, he made Guo Shengtong the queen in order to stabilize his position. Once he had established a foothold, he overturned the position of the queen and deposed Guo Shengtong as queen. "It has nothing to do with Ju's virtues, but has the style of Lu Huo." Is it right to scold his wife like this? Is it right to throw her away after using up her power? Yin Lihua is a poor wife. Her husband has become a duck for the sake of the throne, and she has turned from the head wife into a concubine. Her husband loves acting, and she has to act in a drama of resolutely rejecting the throne. After all, it's all women who are wronged 💔
The emperor who is crazy, crazy, crazy! He actually wants to take the route of taking things by force
Happy New Year Teacher! Urge for updates [spread flowers]
This is too outrageous, and there is also substitute literature
I hope the male lead will be in the lead. This male lead really doesn't care about the female lead. He doesn't care about her life or death 😭 💔
If it is he, I hope that the male protagonist will be tortured severely (I still prefer be, I feel that the male protagonist does not care about the life and death of the female protagonist, and he clearly knows that the female protagonist will die in three years, and the male protagonist is still unclean). If it is be, it would be better. But if it is he, Dadai must torture the male protagonist severely 🥺🥺
The male protagonist is just farting. He obviously can't stand the days of groveling. He can go back after completing the task, but he wants to replace Liu Yun. Now he is afraid that the female protagonist will go back to teach and find someone to deal with him.
After watching it, I felt so reluctant and sad. The heroine seemed really different. She loved them, but not that much. The choice she made in the end was unexpected and reasonable 😍
No one can be Liu Yun [rolls eyes] King Duan can [spread his hands] and vote for Yinshi by the way, what a good brother 😣 😣 😣
