Transmigrating into a Chinese-Style Romance Game

[The slave boy who planted trees in her backyard when they were young

returned as a grown man, offering an empire as his bride price and asking for her hand.]

Lu Junqing transmigrated into a Chinese-style romance game, becoming the daughter of the declining Lu family of the Yu Dynasty. She gave two glutinous rice balls to the young slave who had come to plant trees at her aunt's home.

Later, she went with her older brother to the Yu Dynasty capital, made a few close friends, and met the first person who made her heart flutter: the young marquis, Yin Xuan.

Just as their feelings were at their strongest, she learned the truth: Yin Xuan wanted to marry her for the Lu family's prestige among the soldiers in Dongzhou.

Later still, the capital fell, a neighboring kingdom invaded, and her friends betrayed her. She drifted into the forests of a foreign land, where she met the slave boy Qianli again. A tattoo of an iron chain encircled his neck.

He had become the commander of a force of refugees.

She needed to find her brother, so Qianli did everything he could to investigate the prince's residence and the imperial palace.

She liked to be clean, so Qianli bathed twice a day.

She lost her maid, so Qianli found a way to bring her back.

Her clothes were torn, so Qianli found the finest embroiderer to mend them.

And at the very end,

Yin Xuan built a golden birdcage and imprisoned her inside.

Qianli took off his imperial robes, put on the coarse clothes he used to wear, and ran to her.

The chancellor said, "I'm afraid Miss Lu will change her mind when she sees her old friend, and refuse to come back."

Qianli smiled faintly, unconcerned. "If she doesn't want to come back, I'll stay with her."

"She said all men are no good and she wants no man. I've never thought of myself as anything but her dog."

The chancellor's face went dark. "Your Majesty is the ruler of an entire nation... How can you take drunken words seriously!"

Qianli acted as if he hadn't heard and continued, "Wherever she goes, I'll follow."

"I can't let her think I've abandoned her."

Qi Lanzhu knelt on the ground, clutching his hem and begging desperately. "Your Majesty is now the ruler of the Xi people. You can't put yourself in danger for a woman."

Qianli pried her fingers loose, saying each word distinctly,

"When an old king is gone, there will be a new one. But there is only one Luoyue, and only one Qianli."

Preview One [Period] "Millennial Fairytale (Back To 2000s)"

Reborn in the year 2000, Qin Yu set three goals for herself:

One: Don't marry her ex-husband.

Two: Stop her dad from cheating.

Three: Make money, make money, make money.

Later, she accomplished the first goal, made some progress on the second, and steadily advanced toward the third.

But wait, fate had given her a fourth goal: save a transfer student who was destined to die.

Everyone said he was "difficult to handle and impossible to tame."

Only she knew that

one look from her made him lower his head,

and a few words from her made him quit smoking.

Her mother always told her not to befriend troublemakers,

but the "troublemaker's" older sister told her:

"You're not good enough for him."

Much later, she gradually understood

that being reborn wasn't a miracle cure.

Life always held regrets and imperfections,

but Qin Yu and Mu Feng

were destined to meet and find each other again.

The male lead is rebellious and stubborn early on, a blunt straight-shooter who says one thing and feels another.

(There's a reason: a broken home and his rebellious streak.)

Later, he opens up, becoming both dominant and flirtatious, and completely obsessed with his wife.

The female lead, early on: "I would never fall for some little boy."

Later: "Did I say that? I don't remember."

Preview Two [Contemporary Romance] "Made for Each Other"

Lin Jinshu, whose family has fallen on hard times,

works diligently as a junior reporter.

One day, during an interview,

she discovers that the newly popular top-tier star

is the paid boyfriend she hired back in college.

Back then, he was short on money,

and she had plenty of spending cash.

He raised his long brows slightly and watched her at his leisure.

At the camera operator's urging,

she had no choice but to brace herself and step forward

to clip the microphone onto his collar.

She didn't dare look up at him the entire time.

"Long time no see, Jinbao," he said, his words intimate and his tone mocking.

Later,

he stopped her on her way home from work.

"Fifty thousand a month. How about you stay with me from now on? Adjusted for inflation, it's the same amount you paid me in college."

Much later, he found an old photograph in her room. In it, a boy had his arm around her shoulders, smiling gently. His eyes and brows looked just like his own.

Only then did he understand:

that adoring look in her eyes

had only been her looking through him at someone else.

He pinned her to the bed, took off his glasses, and kissed her. Warm tears fell onto her face.

"Please, love me, okay?"

Preview Three [Historical Romance] "The Minister Beneath Her Skirts"

Princess Xuanzhu took a liking to a stable hand in her household.

The royal scandal spread as if on wings,

reaching every corner of the capital in just three days.

And what happened after that?

Well,

The palace towers fell, the imperial city became a wasteland, and the princess disappeared.

The stable hand who had once been scorned

had become the fearsome "God of Slaughter," the Great General Asura.

He killed his mentor, executed a prince, and slaughtered the imperial clan,

all so he could return the woman he loved, Princess Xuanzhu, to her rightful place.

In short,

the princess is going to lose her kingdom,

the stable hand is going to rise,

their places are going to be reversed,

and the male lead will always be humble before the female lead.
