[Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium] [Male Lead Is a Substitute] [Female Lead Fakes Her Death]
Ming Yao died.
She died in a great fire at Xian'an Palace.
Everyone knew how devoted she was to Shen Jin, the deposed crown prince, always following his lead.
Life in the Cold Palace was bleak and unbearable, but whenever Ming Yao had even a bite to eat, she would save it for Shen Jin. She cooked for him and washed his clothes. In the bitter cold of winter, her hands turned red and became covered in chilblains.
Yet she never regretted a thing.
Her eyes, whenever she looked at Shen Jin, were always bright and burning.
Like an eternal lamp that would never go out.
Unfortunately, Shen Jin paid her no mind.
In his eyes, the affection of a lowly servant girl was nothing but wishful thinking.
The night cavalry stormed the imperial city, Shen Jin seized the emperor with his army. Everyone said Ming Yao's hard days were finally over.
A young eunuch knelt trembling before him and asked how Ming Yao's status should be arranged.
"She's just a concubine," Shen Jin said indifferently.
He thought Ming Yao's status was too low, but once she was pregnant, he could raise her rank.
Unfortunately, Shen Jin never saw Ming Yao again. She was lost forever in that fire, leaving no remains behind.
In the first year of Yong'an, Shen Jin ascended the throne.
That same year, General Xue, who had earned merit in quelling the rebellion, finally found the younger sister he had been separated from for years. He petitioned Shen Jin to arrange a marriage for her.
Shen Jin agreed.
In the third year of Yong'an, Shen Jin was passing through the Xue residence during his southern tour when the fourth daughter of the Xue family happened to be getting married.
The groom smiled and offered Shen Jin a cup of wedding wine.
At the corner of the groom's eye was a beauty mark, exactly like Shen Jin's.

Please add my new novel, The Beaded Curtain Rolls Up, to your reading list.
Halfway through a palace banquet, the crown prince used changing clothes as an excuse to step out for some air.
Through the misty rain, he saw someone standing in a waterside pavilion, soaked through and utterly miserable.
He heard the palace attendants say she was Wen Sui, wife of the newly appointed top scorer. She should have been enjoying all the honors, but the top scorer had someone else in his heart and had abandoned his new bride for her. Now she was left alone in the pavilion, crying into her hands.
How pitiful.
The crown prince scoffed.
He had someone send her an oil-paper umbrella.
-
Wen Sui was the daughter of the crown prince's tutor. Gentle and timid since childhood, she had diligently served her in-laws for six months after her marriage, only to receive the verdict from her husband that she was "stodgy and dull."
She knew her personality was not endearing, and she knew her husband loved someone else.
But Wen Sui had no other choice.
From childhood, she had been taught the virtues and precepts for women, and the Three Obediences and Four Virtues: obey her father before marriage, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband's death.
At that palace banquet, her husband suspected she had harmed the woman he loved. In a fit of anger, he shoved her out into the rain and walked away.
At her most wretched moment, someone brought her an oil-paper umbrella.
Wen Sui thought she had met a good person.
Only later did she realize that man was a true wolf in a Buddha's skin.
Another palace banquet.
The rain poured down as the newly appointed top scorer knelt at the Eastern Palace gates, shivering with cold.
Inside the hall, the curtains were warm and the passion had subsided.
The crown prince wore a gentle expression as he asked, though he already knew the answer: "...Sui Sui, should we let him in to take shelter from the rain?"
Wen Sui cradled her slightly rounded belly and could only sob.

I'm really speechless. How could I fall in love with the heroine again in the blink of an eye? I'm convinced. The male protagonist of his father deserves to die, and he was allowed to appear again. Why does the female protagonist feel so guilty here? It's disgusting. Most of the previous book was about abusing the heroine. In the end, she was shot by the heroine with an arrow, but she was still here worrying about him. I was really convinced.
It's finally over~ I've been following it from the beginning of the article until now, so it can be considered a good ending. Xiao Meng is still in my dissatisfaction, what a glorious person. Can't Shen Gou be gentle at some point? Or we, the graceful ones, like the fierce ones...
Just, are you forgiven like this? Dad, please resurrect Xiao Meng. This person named Shen really doesn't want to see him.
This avalanche... Uh... If the author can't do it, why don't we insist on it... I'm really convinced...
Is it difficult to write about the heroine as a human being? Don't love men too much 🧋
I've really had enough of female abuse literature... Ugh...
Well, I'm a little worried. How will the female protagonist fall in love with the male protagonist? Now the male protagonist has no weight at all.
The heroine's transition from hate to love is very abrupt, and the reading experience is not smooth.
Did the author think that he could just write it off after being saved and his life was hanging by a thread, because he fell in love with it after he saved it??? I had a heartbeat before my death escape, but now I just do it for the sake of he, ugh
Let me guess, Shen Jin had better lose his memory next. Ming Yao might be carrying a ball, and then kindly picked up Shen Gou back home. Meng should also give him a resurrection armor, so that Ming Yao can understand who he loves.
