Synopsis
"In one sentence: The powerful chancellor has his eye on the empress."
--Blurb--
The Duan family had a daughter named Ke, styled Huaiqing. She had skin as white as snow, bones as delicate as jade, and the appearance of an immortal.
But her experiences in her youth meant Duan Ke could never be a soft, delicate beauty. Instead, she developed a proud, unyielding character and a heart full of compassion for the world.
With the powerful ministers ruling the age, a temperament like hers was bound to cause serious trouble.
On the day of the chancellor's birthday banquet, in front of everyone, Duan Ke faced the man at the center of the hall, the one who held the world in his hands and usurped the throne to manipulate power, and quietly uttered eight words:
"The emperor is no ruler; the chancellor is no subject."
Everyone was aghast.
Zong Huo laughed instead of getting angry, but there was something meaningful in the way he looked at Duan Ke.
A few days later, a decree drafted on the emperor's behalf arrived at the Duan residence. She became the puppet emperor's empress.
Overnight, she fell from the clouds into a gilded cage, trapped within the palace walls with no way out.
Afterward, rumors spread among the people, who joked:
The chancellor recognizes neither heaven nor earth, neither ruler nor father. The only thing he treasures is the empress's bedchamber, where he stays night after night, unable to bear leaving...
Late at night, the man lifted Duan Ke's chin and smiled with a cruel glint in his eyes. "How could I possibly resist staining such flawless jade?"

Moonlit Redemption
*In one sentence: After becoming a ghost, I discover that my aloof, princely husband has become a mad tyrant.
--Blurb--
Qing Xi and Ling Jingyuan met when they were young. Love began... No, it didn't. The Crown Prince was cold as ice and had no feelings to spare.
By imperial decree, she became the little ice block's wife in name only.
In their three years in the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess met no more than three times.
In the first year, Qing Xi drugged the Crown Prince and secretly took him out of the palace, saying she would show him the beautiful landscape. She was punished with house arrest.
In the second year, Qing Xi dragged the Crown Prince out for a boat ride. The boat capsized, and they nearly drowned. She was punished with house arrest.
In the third year, Qing Xi set off fireworks for the Crown Prince, accidentally setting the hem of his robe on fire. She was punished with house arrest.
In the fourth year, Qing Xi died, and the Crown Prince went mad.
On the third anniversary of the Crown Princess's death, a coup erupted in the Eastern Palace, and the imperial family wept blood.
Crown Prince Ling Jingyuan seized power and usurped the throne, killing his elder brother and father. He became the most brutal tyrant in the history of Wan Jin.
The new emperor was so cruel and inhumane that the whole world longed to see him executed.
On the day Ling Jingyuan ascended the throne, the Underworld specially granted Qing Xi leave to return to the mortal world to visit her family.
Before she left, an envoy from Fengdu warned her: "A flawed cause rarely has a good end. Cause and effect follow one another, so do not let your heart become attached."
Qing Xi: "Don't worry!"
The first person Qing Xi saw upon returning to the mortal world was Ling Jingyuan. The first thing she saw was Ling Jingyuan dead.
From other ghosts, she learned that the new emperor's crimes had enraged both gods and men, and that his soul had long since perished.
Amid her tangled thoughts, Qing Xi remembered the Crown Prince of her youth.
The young man had been as bright and clear as the moon, with a noble heart. His loyal heart was devoted to the people, not to his own gain.
Her feelings remained unresolved, and obsession took root. Lost in memories of the past and filled with a sense of injustice, she suddenly sank into the nether darkness.
When she opened her eyes again, Qing Xi was back three years earlier, on the night she had died.
Ever since the Crown Princess died, everyone had felt that the widowed Crown Prince was acting strangely. He saw his deceased wife in everyone.
He called a village widow, Wang, by the Crown Princess's childhood nickname, Aman;
He bought the little nun at Xiangguo Temple the longevity wine his Crown Princess had loved in life;
He brought a little beggar from a mass grave back to the Eastern Palace and cared for them attentively;
He even disobeyed imperial orders for a condemned prisoner, among a series of other bizarre, ghost-haunted antics...
The strangest thing was that all these people died after meeting the Crown Prince.
Qing Xi's response: Don't blame him. I've possessed too many bodies...

Why haven't you updated it yet? Let Guhao wait (hum)
Please open the next book "Mingyue Redemption" and collect it~See the copy for more information *Summary of this article in one sentence: After becoming a ghost, I discovered that my princely husband, the flower of the high mountain, has become a tyrant with crazy criticism. ——Copywriting—— Qing Xi and Ling Jingyuan met when they were young. They fell in love... But there was no love. The prince was as cold as ice and had no trace of emotion. Once married, she became Xiao Bingbing's nominal wife. During the three years in the East Palace, the prince and the princess only met three times. In the first year, Qing Xi secretly took the prince out of the palace in a daze, saying that he wanted to show him the great places, but he was fined and grounded. The next year, Qing Xi dragged the prince on a lake trip. Unexpectedly, the boat capsized and he drowned, and was fined and grounded. In the third year, Qing Xi set off fireworks for the prince, accidentally ignited the prince's clothes, and was fined and grounded. In the fourth year, Qing Xi died and the prince went crazy. Three years after the death of the Crown Princess, on the day of her death, there was a coup in the East Palace, and the imperial family shed blood. Prince Ling Jingyuan seized power and usurped the country, killed his brother and father, and became the most cruel tyrant in the history of Jin Dynasty. The new emperor is cruel and unkind, and the whole world wants to kill him. On the day Ling Jingyuan ascended the throne, Qing Xi was specially approved by the underworld to return to the human world to visit relatives. Before leaving, the envoy from Fengdu warned Qing Xi: "There is a cause of leakage, and it is difficult to end well. Cause and effect are continuous, so no thoughts can arise." Qing Xi: "Don't worry!" The first person Qing Xi saw when she returned to the world was Ling Jingyuan, and the first thing she saw was the dead Ling Jingyuan. When the body dies, the soul appears. Qing Xi did not see Ling Jingyuan's soul. She learned from other ghosts that the new emperor's crime had made people and gods angry, and he had died. In the midst of thousands of thoughts, Qing Xi thought of the prince when he was young. The young man was bright and upright, and his heart was devoted to the common people rather than his own life. The love was over, and obsession arose. She thought about the past, feeling unsatisfied, and suddenly fell into the dark night. Opening her eyes again, Qing Xi returned to the night of her death three years ago. Since the death of the Crown Princess, everyone has felt that there is something wrong with the widower Crown Prince, who looks like his late first wife. He would call the Crown Princess by her nickname, Ah Man, to the widow in the countryside, buy the Crown Princess's favorite longevity wine from the little nun in Xiangguo Temple, take the little beggar from the graveyard back to the East Palace to take good care of him, and even disobey the imperial edict for the prisoners on death row, and a series of other obsessive behaviors. The most bizarre thing is that these people all died after meeting the prince. In this regard, Qing Xi said: I don't blame him, it's because I resurrected too many souls...
