The Beauty's Struggle to Survive (On Hiatus)

The day he transmigrated, Song Yanci opened his eyes to find himself being shoved into the Phoenix Spring Grace carriage and sent straight to the emperor's bed.

The good news: he's a man.

The bad news: the emperor of Dayuan is fifty-eight years old, has no preference for one sex over the other, is obsessed with beauty, and has a harem of 3,338 beauties.

Song Yanci, who had just transmigrated: ...Help QAQ

Fortunately, fate was on his side. Just as the old emperor arrived at his bedchamber, an urgent report came from outside the palace: the Northern Suppression General and the Third Prince had returned to the capital with their troops overnight.

The good news: the general's achievements were so great that the old emperor was forced to receive him, and Song Yanci escaped disaster.

The bad news: he was the Third Prince's white moonlight and cinnabar mole.

The Third Prince had ridden day and night all the way from the northern deserts to the capital just to find him.

Childhood sweethearts, together for ten years. Now they meet again, and he's become his stepmother.

The Third Prince, Lou Huai, barged into the palace to find him. His eyes red, he ignored their now-forbidden relationship and pulled Song Yanci tightly into his arms, his voice full of hurt. "Aci, I've missed you so much..."

Song Yanci was dumbfounded. Who was this audacious assassin?!

Later, in front of the old emperor, Lou Huai called him, "Imperial Consort Mother."

Song Yanci: ...Could someone please give me an F key to log out of this transmigration?!

Adultery between a consort and a prince is punishable by death. Song Yanci is terrified of the Third Prince and tries everything to avoid him, but the prince only grows more unhinged. He brazenly enters the palace, secretly kisses Song Yanci in the imperial garden behind the old emperor's back, and even dares to intercept him on the Phoenix Spring Grace carriage. Then he launches a coup, kills the emperor, usurps the throne, and forces the late emperor's consort to marry him, committing every kind of historical outrage.

But Song Yanci doesn't want to be a concubine, let alone an empress. Having been lucky enough to transmigrate and get a second life, he only wants to be a carefree little physician, wandering the world.

So on the night of the empress's coronation ceremony, Song Yanci works up the courage to drug Lou Huai and escapes the palace amid the chaos.

From then on, with the world stretching wide before him, he should have lived happily ever after. But he regrets it.

-

They say that while the tyrant Lou Huai was leading troops in the northern deserts, he had a wife he loved but could never have. She was peerlessly beautiful, but she alone did not love the tyrant, so she left him on their wedding night.

No one knows who she is. They only know the tyrant refuses to choose a consort or take an empress because of "her."

So this time, Song Yanci rides back from the northern deserts to the capital to find the one he loves.

Only... they say the tyrant treasures a portrait of his first wife, and anyone who looks like "her" and appears in the palace is executed on the spot.

Song Yanci, who was just about to get ready to enter the palace and find his childhood sweetheart and boyfriend, screeches to a halt. "...How do you appease your angry husband? Asking online, and it's urgent T^T"

A seriously ill, unhinged, love-brained prince turned tyrant x a sweet, soft-hearted, clueless imperial consort

#Imperial Consort Mother, open the door, it's your imperial father's son

#Your Majesty, look out!
