New story coming soon! I also have a spin-off about Catherine, the first wife of Henry VIII of the Tudor dynasty, coming soon next door~
I'll choose which one to write first based on everyone's interest, and prioritize the one that gets collected first~

Everyone envies Lu Ying for being born lucky. Her mother was about to be cast aside, but the birth of Lu Ying and her younger brother accidentally won her their father's favor once more.
When Lu Ying came of age and married, Lu Buwei, famed throughout the land for knowing how to turn rare goods to his advantage, secured her a place as Meng Ao's principal wife.
After she married, an immortal suddenly appeared in the great hall and spoke:
++++++"May you love each other without doubt, and bear a child who will serve the nation."
++++++Those few words meant she no longer had to worry day and night about her mother-in-law criticizing her for having no children.
++++++Her life flourished, while others suffered cruel fates.
The words spoken by the immortal in the hall were forgotten after three breaths.
The people below wrote them down and carved them into things, resorting to every means they could.
Those few words alone delighted the king, who treasured them like a priceless jewel.
Lu Ying never forgot what happened next.
The man next door, Wu, should have stayed seated in the main hall until old age. Instead, he joined that supposedly certain victory and was reduced to a mound of yellow earth offered up before the hall.
The woman next door, Zhao, had just celebrated the birth of a daughter when an arriving palace attendant stabbed her to death, simply because it had been foretold that her unborn great-grandson would bring about the fall of Qin.
In a daze, Lu Ying watched snow blanket the southern mountains. Soldiers brought back news of victory, but the message they carried was that her husband had died.
Amid the heavy snow, Lu Ying knelt between heaven and earth, bowing again and again as she challenged the gods above.
++++++"I ask for no judgment of right and wrong. I only beg for my husband to come home!"
Snow settled on her hair. At last, a voice in her ear granted her wish.

Snow covers the dark mountains, leaving only a broken eave and a lonely tile. At first, Lu Ying only wants her husband to come home.
++++++But then the viewers watching the livestream suddenly realize!
++++++Why is this woman charging at them with a sword?
