The emperor of Xie is past fifty, indulges in beauty, and is incompetent and corrupt.
Hearing that the Jiang family had a young daughter who was beautiful and delicate, he sent an imperial decree to their home, ordering Jiang Tingwan to enter the palace as a consort.
Before long, rumors spread through the palace about the new consort.
They said the Jiang family's young lady was receiving the emperor's favor every day, and that his affection for her never waned. One palace consort even happened to catch a glimpse of the new consort's fair, delicate skin below the neck, covered in tiny red marks.
But... the old emperor was bedridden and unable to move. Whose favor was the new consort enjoying?
Vicious Crown Prince × Delicate, innocent beauty
Reader Notes:
1. Strong male lead, weak female lead. The male lead is genuinely ill. Old-school melodrama.
2. Both leads are sexually inexperienced.
* The old emperor mentioned in this excerpt from the blurb is dead (he dies in Chapter 18).
* The old emperor falls ill as soon as the female lead enters the palace. She does not sleep with him and is never formally made a consort, so she and the Crown Prince are not related by marriage.
Ancient Romance Preview: First Wife
Her mother's family was lowly, and marrying into the Shen family was truly marrying above her station.
Though she was his wife, she had never understood him, even after several years of marriage.
She felt that she never fit in with the Shen family. Her mother comforted her, saying that life was like this for every woman in the world. A mother-in-law and daughters-in-law, or sisters-in-law, could never get along perfectly. She had married into a wealthy family and enjoyed a life of honor and security, which was already far better than most.
She thought her mother was right. One couldn't have everything in life, and she couldn't expect every advantage to fall her way.
Still, she had no children, and her mother-in-law repeatedly urged her to arrange a concubine for her husband to continue the family line.
Still... in the middle of the night, all her grievances came down to one thing, and then to his words: "Funiang is very good. If she has a son one day, you can raise him for her."
For the first time, she cried in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.
*
As the new year began and spring returned, Funiang entered the household. She thought Funiang really was wonderful. Funiang came from a prestigious family, was considerate and capable in every way, and was more beloved by her mother-in-law than she was.
She entrusted Funiang with every matter in the household, large or small, down to the last detail.
She looked at her husband, no longer feeling joy in her heart, and said calmly, "Shen Lang, let's divorce."
She didn't understand why he refused.
Merchant's daughter VS Feudal patriarch
Theme: Fortune is won through risk, and lost through risk too
The plot is progressing so slowly. When will 🐶's retribution come? I can't wait to watch the torture🐶. My sister is really pitiful.
Didn't you say it would be replaced? It's already night
The male protagonist is really over the top. Her mother didn't even ask her to exercise. The female protagonist will definitely go crazy if she knows it.
The male protagonist who digs out his eyes whenever they disagree is really crazy [covers face and laughs while crying]
So my sister really hasn't seen Mommy for the last time? Mommy girl really can't stand this. The male protagonist is still so indifferent. At present, it seems that he either likes me at all or just treats me as a plaything. When will he change?
Author, please don't give up on the article. Your writing is really good. The writing is good, the emotions of the characters are delicate, and the rhythm of the writing is also very good. The story is very tense and makes people unable to stop reading. I can feel that the characters created by the author are standing up and have flesh and blood. We can write slowly, but we must insist on finishing. Can you cheer me up [cat head] [cat head] [cat head] [cat head] [cat head] [cat head] [cat head] [cat head]
What does it mean? It's been more than a month, so I can just say no more. There's no news.
Two days have passed since "tomorrow night" 😂 Normal people spend 24 hours in a day, and the author should spend 72 hours in a day 🐶
If it doesn't change, just hang a leave request note 💔
Why did the heroine become like this? She wasn't so delicate and soft before.
