Please add my upcoming novel, My Ex-Husband Is a Pretend Playboy [Both Reborn], to your collection. The blurb is at the very bottom.
Shu Yuechu and the female lead are both concubines of the tyrant Shen Yu, but they are not dealt the same hand. She is an assassin sent to Shen Yu by a marquis. In the novel, she's a minor character who gets caught poisoning him and is torn apart by five horses before being fed to wild dogs.
Yu Chu transmigrates into Yuechu and jumps in fright, quickly tossing away the poison pill in her hand.
That was close!
Because Chu Chu doesn't poison him, she inadvertently derails the plot that brings the male and female leads together. The System gives her a task: if she wants to go home, she must make the leads fall in love with each other.
In a side hall, Chu Chu enthusiastically recommends the emperor to the female lead. "His Majesty is peerlessly handsome, skilled in literature and warfare, wise and brave, nine feet tall, and has an eight-pack. Would you consider him?"
The female lead replies coolly, "He's a tyrant."
Chu Chu: "Well, he's only cruel to his enemies. Haven't you seen how even foreign invaders dare not set foot here?"
The bodyguard secretly investigating Chu Chu puts the roof tile back in place and flies back to the tyrant. He reports every word of her elaborate praise without leaving anything out.
In the empty palace hall, Shen Yu's fingers pause as he toys with a dagger. He says nothing for a long while.
"Go investigate further."
"Your Majesty, Her Highness praised your long legs today!"
"Your Majesty, Her Highness said you look incredibly handsome when you draw your bow and shoot!"
"Your Majesty, Her Highness said you look good even when you're furious!"
Shen Yu: "…"

Once the male and female leads get together, Chu Chu can go home.
So at Shen Yu's birthday banquet, while the other concubines are carefully preparing performances, Chu Chu is busy preparing one for the female lead.
When Shen Yu is in danger, Chu Chu worries that if he dies, she won't be able to go home. She steps in to help, then turns around and credits the female lead with saving him.
While the other concubines scheme against one another for the tyrant's favor, hoping he'll choose them one day, Chu Chu shuts herself in to draw fan art of the tyrant and the female lead, wondering why they still aren't together.
Her personal maid cries as she complains, "Your Highness, why are you so hopelessly unmotivated?!"
Chu Chu: What does that have to do with me? I just want to go home.
Even so, the plot keeps going further off course.
Shen Yu protects her at every turn. Even after learning she's an assassin, he can't bear to say a harsh word to her. He even wants to make her empress and dismiss the entire harem for her sake.
Chu Chu: "???"
Finally, on a rainy night, the tyrant can no longer hold back. He pins Chu Chu in a corner and buries his face against her neck.
"Don't push me onto someone else..."
A silly little slacker x a brooding, sinister tyrant

Married First, Love Later + The Ex-Wife Chase
Reborn + Married First, Love Later + The Ex-Wife Chase
Many people advised Ling Xi that Sun Jue was nothing but a pretty face. His status was awkward, and he was a spoiled, eccentric playboy, hardly a good match. Now that she was the daughter of a princess, she could easily break off the engagement.
But Ling Xi always remembered how, when she was a lowly horse trainer bullied by noble young ladies and gentlemen, Sun Jue had taken off his pristine coat, draped it over her, and stood in front of her.
No matter what others said, to Ling Xi, Sun Jue had always been a noble, heavenly being. So she married him without hesitation.
On their wedding day, with ten miles of bridal gifts laid out, the veil was slowly lifted. Ling Xi looked up, shy and nervous, only to meet a pair of cold eyes.
The heavenly handsome young man gave a sarcastic snort, turned, and left. He didn't come home all night.
Ling Xi was heartbroken, but she worked even harder to learn the proper etiquette, show filial respect to her in-laws, and care for her husband. She thought that given enough time, she would eventually move Sun Jue.
But three years passed, and Sun Jue never once stepped into her room. His family fell out of favor at court, and her mother-in-law followed the changing winds, using Ling Xi's failure to bear a child as an excuse to drive her out of the Sun household.
That night, as heavy snow fell, Ling Xi sat outside the residence with her belongings, gravely ill. She waited for Sun Jue until the day she died, but he never came.
When she awoke, she had returned to the day after her wedding.
The red candles had burned out, and the room was silent and empty. Ling Xi's heart was calm as still water.
She picked up her brush and wrote a letter of separation.
*
Sun Jue was gifted and handsome from childhood. The director of the Imperial College once said he was clever and destined for greatness. Yet a few years later, his temperament changed completely. First he dropped out of the Imperial College, then he spent his days fighting crickets, drinking, gambling, and getting into brawls. He became the capital's number one playboy.
The daughter a princess had recently found was engaged to him, but less than six months after marrying him, she returned to her family with a letter of separation.
Not long after, the court was thrown into turmoil. The Ninth Prince, who had a lame leg and had never been in the running for the throne, unexpectedly seized power. The chief architect of his rise stood by his side: Sun Jue.
Everyone suddenly understood, and they all mocked Ling Xi. "She really was an illiterate horse trainer with no foresight. She made such a fuss when she separated from him, and now that Grand Tutor Sun is all-powerful, she'd better get ready to suffer!"
No one knew that, that winter, with snow blocking the gates, Grand Tutor Sun had knelt outside the princess's residence until he was frozen like a snow sculpture, just to see Ling Xi once more.
*
Sun Jue had seen the most piercing white twice.
Once, in the icy snow where Ling Xi froze to death in his arms in his previous life.
Once, when he heard that he wanted to ask for her hand again, and saw Ling Xi's pale smile.
Horse trainer x pretend playboy
1v1, happy ending
1. In his previous life, the male lead never abandoned the female lead. He was always working to help her, but unavoidable circumstances delayed him.
2. The male lead loved only the female lead in both lives. He never loved anyone else.
3. The male lead will gradually recover his memories.
Theme: Love is the best medicine for healing everything.
But to be honest, I was quite disappointed. The subsequent plot was a bit over the top. It ended entirely for the sake of the ending. It was interspersed with various bloody plots and lacked the novelty of the previous plot.
After more than twenty years, Shen Yu is already old, right?
Oh my god, I felt so sad when I saw the emperor singing TT
Sell meat to keep your wife away (bushi)
I really liked the first part, so I watched it till the end. But after reading it, I felt that it was better to stop at chapter 63 and end with becoming the queen than now. The rest of it was really redundant, and it made me feel a little uncomfortable?
I finished reading it in one go. The front part is very interesting and attractive, but the back part is really too rushed. ??? It's too rushed.
The ending is not good. At first I was thinking of recommending this book, but then it was just too bad.
The progression of the plot later is too weird, it's all due to external factors
Next book is "Chasing the Golden Bough [Double Life]", Marriage First, Love Later + Chasing the Wife at the Crematorium, I beg you to collect it!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh why is it like this in the end! ! !
