My Romantic Fiction Drove the Embroidered Uniform Guard Wild, Ongoing. Thank you for adding it to your collection
--- In the Northern Song, an age of splendid prosperity, Wang Chuyan was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Bianjing. Blessed with talent and beauty, she was already past the age when girls were usually betrothed, yet refused to settle when it came to marriage. As a result, she became the subject of plenty of gossip.
One snowy spring night, a strange man as ethereal as an immortal, delirious with illness, caught hold of her. “Chuchu, don’t go.”
Despite her surprise, that night she felt as though a jade butterfly had fluttered across her heart.
Who could have guessed that this refined and handsome scholar, mysterious and eccentric, keeping her at arm’s length one moment and drawing her close the next, would pass the palace examinations and earn the highest honors?
Even more astonishing, the new top scholar, Wang Ang, had been the most sought-after match among the daughters of officials. And yet this commoner girl had managed to capture him? Women throughout the capital were green with envy!
And after they married, her husband doted on her like a treasure. #SweetDailyLife#
Wang Chuyan: I’m clever and capable, a whiz at managing a household. How did I become a silly little girl?
He even quizzes her from time to time, pats her head, and sweeps her into his arms.
Promoted again so soon? Boo-hoo, my husband even turns over his entire salary to me…
But gradually, Wang Chuyan was shocked to discover that this top scholar, so gentle and kind as jade and utterly devoted to her, had become a slick, ruthless schemer with a stranglehold on the court in everyone else’s eyes. Was he really a great villain?
As he held her tenderly at night, Wang Chuyan broke into a cold sweat.
What was this man really up to?
*
After the Jingkang Incident, as Wang Ang lay dying, what haunted him was no longer the consuming hatred of a fallen country and a shattered land, but his wife, who had died young, the greatest regret of his life…
As the last red plum blossom outside his window drifted down, he whispered “Chuchu” and breathed his last.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw once more the lovely, vibrant woman who had always captivated him.
In the eighth year of Zhenghe, he came to the capital for the palace examination. It was also when he first met her.
Back then, the Song realm was still intact.
Back then, his Chuchu had not yet fallen in love with him…

== My Romantic Fiction Drove the Embroidered Uniform Guard Wild, Ongoing ==
Yu Zhiwei is transported to the Zhengde era of the Ming dynasty and becomes the owner of a failing bookshop.
The one bit of good news: popular fiction is about to take off!
Drawing on her experience with web novels, she starts writing romantic erotica. Just as her work is about to become popular, she is arrested and thrown into the Imperial Prison.
The chief examiner is Gu Shousheng, a high-ranking Embroidered Uniform Guard, aloof and stern. He tears her writing to shreds.
Accused of writing “demonic books,”
Yu Zhiwei protests: What? I only wrote a sweet story about a marriage that turns into love…
She narrowly escapes death. But then an imperial decree makes Lord Gu her personal censor!
Some editors only forbid writing anything below the neck. This man even polices lingering glances and the space between breaths. He marks up her manuscript in red ink, calling it vulgar, frivolous, and improper.
For the money, endure it!
Until she can’t take it anymore. She rises on tiptoe and pins him against the wall, whispering by his ear, “You asked what it means to be wall-pinned? This is it.”
The usually cool and aloof Lord Gu goes rigid, his ears burning red all the way to their tips.
Yu Zhiwei: If we’re going crazy, let’s go crazy together! I’m not taking the blame alone!
*
Fortunately, her bookshop begins to thrive. She even branches into literary merchandise and takes on official publishing commissions, becoming a renowned talent in the capital.
But why is Lord Gu acting stranger and stranger?
Unbeknownst to her, the stories she invents are coming true…
She writes about a leg injury. Lord Gu touches his leg in surprise. “Is this about me? Just a coincidence?”
She writes about the heroine applying medicine to the hero. Lord Gu has an erotic dream.
She writes about consummating the marriage. Lord Gu loses his composure.
Lord Gu, his face turning red and dark by turns: …She must be trying to seduce me!
On and off the page, the two are caught in an entanglement they can’t escape.
From a passionate first kiss to him wall-pinning her when she goes on a blind date.
“Miss Yu, you’ve filled my head with romance, yet you mean to marry someone else?”
Yu Zhiwei panics. “My lord, I’m only writing books to make money. Don’t go imagining yourself in them!”
Later, desperate to win her back, he uses every melodramatic trope from her stories.
Pretending to lose his memory, spoiling her in every way, and going to absurd lengths to win her back…
Yu Zhiwei: He’s gone mad, he’s gone mad~~ I never told you to use all those tricks on me!!

Some long speeches were not recorded in the final remarks, so I will talk about them here as a postscript. Let's start with Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" (by the way, I would like to thank Zhang Dada for his guest appearance in the article). This five-meter-long national treasure depicts the bustling capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, its eastern suburbs and the city. It was created roughly between the Zhenghe and Xuanhe reigns of Huizong. We look at the far left side of the scroll, inside the majestic city tower, and the large building along the street below is the Wangjia Di store (the signboard of the long-term resident Wang's wife's family is also there), which is regarded as the home of our heroine Wang Chuyan. There is a guest in the attic of the restaurant. Is it the male protagonist Wang Ang? Hoho, the male lead is much more handsome than him. Imagine that the foreigner who came to the capital for the imperial examination was handsome and elegant, and the girl from the capital inn was gentle and beautiful. When they met for the first time, he called her the queen in a gentle and courteous manner; At that time, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was popular to catch a son-in-law under the official list. The Wang family opened a residence store, so they must want to get the first-come-first-served, so they would catch a son-in-law before the official list! The best result should be that the husband and the concubine love each other, and from then on they join hands in the world of mortals, embrace the breeze and the bright moon, and watch the fireworks in the world. In a wonderful world of He Qing Haiyan. Poof, pink bubbles overflowed the screen~~ How grand were those dazzling human fireworks? Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Menghua Lu" recorded the capital city in the late Northern Song Dynasty in words, including the city life, festival customs, palace ceremonies, etc. The words between the lines make people feel like they are in a fairyland. The Northern Song Dynasty was not only colorful, but also incredibly elegant. The four elegant things favored by the literati of the Song Dynasty were also popular among the people. Burning incense, ordering tea, hanging paintings and arranging flowers were all the pinnacle of Chinese aesthetics, not to mention the beauty and refinement advocated by the imperial palace. Speaking of Huizong Zhao Ji, if you look carefully at his preserved paintings and calligraphy, you will be amazed. Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng's taste was the most praised because of its elegance and simplicity. However, more than 600 years ago, Huizong had already mastered these. He also wrote tea scriptures, monasticism, painting and calligraphy, and was proficient in all of them (except that he was not good at ruling the world). To borrow the words of Mr. Chen Yinke—— The culture of the Chinese nation has evolved over thousands of years and reached its peak in the Zhao and Song Dynasties. However, the prosperity and beauty in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" will disappear in a few years. The reason why Meng Yuanlao wrote "Tokyo Dream Hualu" was to mourn and remember all the lost beauty, just like Hua Xu's dream. Because of the Jingkang Incident! At the end of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin army moved south, Huizong abdicated to Prince Zhao Huan, and Qinzong changed his name to Jingkang after he ascended the throne. Shortly afterwards… Jingkang, what a beautiful meaning, the sun will bring peace to all directions, and Yongkang will bring prosperity to the people. But the pain in it... Yue Fei wrote in Manjianghong: Jingkang's shame has not yet snowed. The hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed! At that time, I suddenly went from heaven to hell! The war in Bianliang was raging, the ruins were ruined, and the lives were devastated. Many people had to flee. Zhang Zeduan fled south, and so did Meng Yuan. Among those who were lucky enough to escape was our number one scholar, Wang Ang. With the grief of losing his country and his family, he died of illness not long after in the second year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong, at the age of forty. However, Wang Ang was reborn and returned to the eighth year of Zhenghe, the year when he came to the capital to take the imperial examination. At that time, the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty were especially beautiful. His wife, who had died young, was also standing in front of him alive... But there is an abyss beneath our feet, and hell ahead. If he is away from you, everything he does has a reason. But his Chu Chu didn't know all this, and he never wanted to let her get a trace of dust. Like all the passionate women in the world, Wang Chuyan is filled with hope, like a piece of paper as delicate as jade, just waiting to paint the most beautiful picture of life. Ever since they met, there still seemed to be a jade butterfly fluttering across her heart. Time flies, and they meet by chance. After all, it is an endless love and endless longing. In the ups and downs of the world, in the abyss of ice and fire, only she will be his salvation, the most brilliant fireworks in his life, and the light in the dark night that he is willing to bear all the guilt and continue to go against the world. It was still the eighth year of Zhenghe's reign, and it was a snowy spring night in Bianjing. This time, a new story begins.
[After marrying Qing Leng to explore the beauty, he favored her] Currently being serialized (Marriage first, love later/True and fake daughter/Sweet pet) As a top spy, An Lan has been licking blood for many years and never failed, but she failed in her last mission! But because she resembled the daughter of the Shen family, she was forced to take over the substitute marriage deal, with a one-year contract and a heavy reward. On the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, An Lan looked at the cheap man - Tan Zhao. This man was born in the imperial examination and was extremely handsome. In just a few years, he became the youngest official in Yushitai. He had the power to impeach hundreds of officials. He had an iron fist and was ruthless. He was nicknamed Jade Faced Yama. An Lan: Tsk, handsome indeed, but it's a pity that it's such a big lump of ice! After the marriage, An Lan pretended to be obedient, coquettish, respectful to her grandmother, and flirted with that cold man at night. She covered it up in every possible way, except for the matter of eating. The daughter of the Minister of Finance ate every meal like a chicken. As the days went by, An Lan was so hungry that she felt dizzy. Especially after going out on a heroic mission. Once, she stole a chicken leg and jumped up to the roof happily. Under the scorching golden osmanthus, Tan Zhao was looking at the moon and drinking alone. Eye to eye—— An Lan (hidden chicken legs): "Oh my god! Why did I sleepwalk here?!" Tan Zhao (hiding wine)... The next day, the table was full of chicken legs. Maid: "My master said that my wife should eat more meat to replenish her Qi and help her sleep." She was originally a character in the play, just waiting for the end of the play to leave. Unexpectedly, once the cold man fell in love, he was like a prairie fire. One day, the real daughter came back. An Lan disappeared quietly like a pool of moonlight. Realizing that the "real" wife was missing, Tan Zhao was in a state of confusion and rushed down the long street on a snowy night. Finally, people are blocked on the street corner. He pulled open her cloak and pushed her into his hot embrace: "Why, madam, you don't want to continue acting? You've been so aroused that you can't control your husband, and now you want to run away?" == Pre-received article [The pretty boy I raised turned out to be a big devil] == In front of others, he is a vicious bird of prey and criticizes the big devil, but behind others, he is a gentle snail husband. He's in our bed... How to break the deadlock! See the column for details.
