[I'm planning to rewrite this story's premise in a different way. It's available for pre-order in my author column: a historical spin-off with a female lead, "If the Starry River Shines." It'll be released later.]
Other upcoming stories: [Picked Up by a Hong Kong Tycoon (The 1990s)]
I'll take my time writing and updating these historical roundup videos~

Shen Yunqi produces a history program.
"The Beacon Fires That Played the Feudal Lords: One Bewitching Smile Spelled a Dynasty's Doom"
"After Her Ex-Husband Died, She Fell in Love with Someone Else"
"The Biggest Sucker Spent a Fortune, and She Was Moved Enough to Die for Him"
"The Noblewoman Who Turned Out to Be a Hopeless Romantic"
The props are shoddy, the scripts are full of holes, and the extras are all part-timers.
Shen Yunqi decides to save the show.
For each featured figure, she researches history and offers a different perspective.
History is written by men, and the women in the history books are either blamed as femme fatales or reduced to objects of male desire.
Enchantresses, consorts, famous courtesans, chaste martyrs, princesses...
They are symbols in history, their flesh and blood picked apart,
demonized, slandered, and condemned by public opinion.
The culprit, the temptress who brought down a kingdom.
The virtuous wife and devoted mother, the chaste martyr.
The wanton courtesan, the tool for a political marriage.
Shen Yunqi wants to show another side of these women
and explore the other side of history.
She wins the unanimous support of her colleagues on the production team.
The show becomes a hit, drawing a huge audience and flooding the screen with comments.
What she doesn't expect is that the program will air in the histories of parallel worlds.
At first, some women discover they can see the sky screen and write messages on it.
Later, the show accidentally reaches the very people it's about.
Bao Si, holding her child, is stunned for an entire day, then starts planning her escape.
Green Pearl, kept in a garden, grits her teeth and decides to fool Shi Chong.
Zhuo Wenjun, preparing to elope, begins seriously reconsidering her life.
Yu Ji, already in love, tries to save her King.
Heartbroken Yang Yuhuan steels herself: this concubine is done with this life!
#Feel-good power fantasy
#Inspired by history and legend, not entirely rigorous
#Giving historical women a parallel world where they have flesh and blood
#The plot is fictional and unrelated to historical fact
#This story doesn't have many readers, and I'm writing it for love while quite busy, so updates are irregular. You can let chapters pile up.
My new story next door is now underway. Please add it to your favorites!
Historical transmigration, female-led story blurb:
[The Powerful Minister's Wife Gets a Revenge Plot]
Cheng Nian, the daughter of a marquis's household, marries a poor scholar and never looks down on him for his hard lot.
She helps him rise through the ranks, provides him with a home, and bears his child.
She once believed she was the apple of her gentle husband Wei Xi's eye.
Little did she know that one day, he would manipulate the political tides and leave her family ruined.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they reunite in the underworld.
Cheng Nian dies at his hands, unable to rest in peace.
Her love cuts into her like a knife, leaving her in unbearable pain.
Then she opens her eyes again.
Reborn as a noble young lady, she gets another chance at life.
Wei Xi is seen by the world as a modest gentleman, as gentle as jade.
He rises to power and dominates the court.
Even when his eyes are bloodshot and he crawls on his knees,
even when he is torn apart by pain,
so what?
She doesn't love him anymore.
#Told in third person
Cheng Nian:
I was killed by the man I loved, and I died unable to rest in peace.
The year after my death, I was reborn in the body of a noble little girl who had died unexpectedly.
My former husband became a powerful minister who could do as he pleased, and I grew up hating him.
When I came of age, I seduced him, tempted him, and toyed with him.
Everyone said that the powerful minister Wei Xi was deeply devoted, and that after his first wife died, he never went near another woman.
He kept me at arm's length, but I knew him too well.
It was easy to get close to him, bewitch him, and keep him under my thumb.
I watched him suffer, watched his emotions twist and turn, watched him lose himself in me all over again.
I hurt him, stabbed at him, and sent him to ruin.
I loved him once, and I hated him just as deeply.
I turned Wei Xi's later years upside down, and he never married again.
He crawled on the ground in a wretched heap, begging me to forgive him.
But I truly, truly don't love him anymore.
I still felt dissatisfied, and my hunger for love was hard to fill.
Later, Xue Nanhe stood by my side, alone and strikingly handsome.
I went mad for him, loving him with all my heart.
But he backed away.
He retreated from the world into a Buddhist temple.
I was burned to death in a raging fire.
Looking at his face, I thought, I will never fall in love with another man again.
Heaven took pity on me, and I lived another life.
I found a new man by my side.
He was obsessive, silent, deranged, cold, and ruthless.
But I tamed him.

Theme: Women in history have flesh and blood, too
You should be more cruel to such an ungrateful person like Bo Fu. Let him know the beauty of power and then be thrown into prison and end up like his brother. Then send someone to tell him the truth. If you didn't assassinate your mother, the future power will be yours. I want to see him cry and repent.
Ah, so angry. Women will be accused of whatever they do and they even make up some false images as moral templates to serve them better.
Damn it, Jinjiang is obviously mostly filled with female readers, so why do not many people read or leave comments on this book with a good writing style and story, while the literature on spoiled wives is so popular?
Men really turn to their fathers, and the older they get, the more they turn to their fathers. Having a son is not as good as giving birth to barbecued pork.
Very nice. Those who promote women to die for love or sacrifice are really despicable. They use rumors and "morality" and "love" to kidnap women to suffer to support men, tie innocent women to a rack of shame and point fingers, and even mold the victims into "role models" to tame other women. How disgusting! Fortunately, in this book, Gui has her own life, and she will also affect the fate of more women.
Later, women were belittled and suppressed culturally and ideologically. It should have originated from the changes of the times. For example, in the farming era, men controlled the resources as the majority. After men controlled the resources for a long time, they would think that we men are born stronger, and women would also default to themselves as inappropriate. It should not be so extreme at this time. Later, the derogation of women in words seemed to be particularly serious in a certain dynasty. In the previous dynasty, women had a high status, and men found themselves It turns out that women are not irreplaceable. Women can also do their own jobs, so they start to brainwash their minds like crazy. You are a woman. This is not what you should do. They drive women out of work and say, "I care about you. Look, I do this job so easily and you are so tired. It is not respectable for women to do this." They even deprive women of the right to read because they are afraid that lies will be seen through. Even if they have read the book, most people will not think about why, let alone women who have never read the book.
Very well said! I am the kind of person who sees bad news about girls who have been exposed. Instead, I will find an angle to try to understand and analyze the reasons, instead of following the public to accuse and curse women. Some people say that I am extreme, while others say that I am whitewashing. I also admit that I do have different attitudes towards men and women on certain things, but I always believe that the female community has been more limited and deceived from ancient times to the present. They are trapped in a small area, brainwashed by public opinion, and forced to move forward by public voices, so they understand that they cannot blame or abuse them as a matter of course.
The dynasty of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty should not have favored sons over daughters, because the farther the dynasty is, the less polluted by the ideological pollution of favoring sons over daughters, and it may be due to the primitive hunting culture. Although the female protagonist is in the house, there should not be a special emphasis on the ideological "You are a woman, you should be gentle and virtuous". After all, a gentle and virtuous woman cannot guarantee a life, because men go hunting, and women manage the order and resources of the family, similar to modern times. Nowadays, men make money and women manage money. As long as they have resources in their hands and have the confidence to speak, people will respect them. In King Zhou's era, although it was far away from primitiveness for a long time, the spread of ideas without paper should not be as fast and widespread as it was later. At that time, cultural thought was not as serious as the homogenization later. For example, everyone agreed that women should be weak and weak. I am not a historical expert. The above is my personal opinion.
Kill him, he deserves to die!
My favorite novel recently, I didn't expect to finish it on the last day of 2023. I think it is a very good idea and a good attempt! I wish my wife all the best and that I can write more content that I like!
The Chu State deserves to be called "a barbarian". Compared with other vassal states, the style of Chu is really unique.
