I Was Born to Be Emperor

The same-series female-led historical novel "I Accidentally Destroyed a Country" and modern romantic comedy "Happened to Find the Light" are coming soon. Please add them to your collections on my profile!

A sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside career-minded princess * a scheming, sly minister with a bit of a screw loose

One misstep, and Chu Qingge went from princess to commoner, left to be bullied by anyone.

The powerful broke both her legs. As she lay dying, a woman who had transmigrated appeared before her.

"My sister and I are not enemies. If we work together, the Duke's household's hundred thousand troops will help you seize the throne."

"What do you want?"

"I want a world with no more infant abandonment towers, and classrooms full of girls."

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn three years in the past.

The woman who had transmigrated had returned with her.

"You only get this one chance."

Since she had made her wager, how could she possibly lose?

Every last one of them would pay for what they had done!

Rebels, treason, a woman usurping power, and bringing chaos to the court.

That was how the officials framed her.

Bodhisattva, goddess, bearer of Heaven's mandate, whose virtue would be praised for generations.

That was how the people saw her.

So what if men were considered superior to women? The world had always been made by people.

Chu Qingge looked down on the officials, civil and military alike.

"I will not be someone's wife, some official's Mrs. So-and-So. I will be a wise ruler, a sovereign whose deeds are recorded in the histories."

*

What Chu Qingge hates most is the frail, sickly young lord at her side.

There's only one reason: he is her elder brother's most capable strategist, and the mad tutor who handed her a cup of poisoned wine in her previous life.

She never expected that after just one meeting in this life, he would cling to her as if he couldn't leave her alone.

At the villa, he wrote an inscription for her new home.

On the road to Lancheng, he took a deadly blow for her and was left near death.

When villains framed her, he staked his life to vouch for her.

Perhaps fate had bound them together tightly more than a decade ago.

"If you want the throne, Princess, I will make it happen."

Later, Chu Qingge pressed him against the throne and lightly traced his features with her fingers.

"I have no way to repay your feelings for me. How about this: you can be empress of the realm."

First upcoming novel

Childhood friends, mutual pining, fake marriage before love, and a sweet reunion after heartbreak

Straightforward, tenacious composer vs. a love-struck, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted male top-tier star

Jiang Beiwei reunites with Cheng Luyan after accidentally walking into the wrong private room.

The only people inside are Cheng Luyan, his manager, and a famous director.

"Well, look at that. Someone who never sets foot in the film industry even found out about this place."

Cheng Luyan looks at her standing helplessly in the doorway like a noble young lord.

This unpleasant encounter unexpectedly gets Jiang Beiwei an invitation to write an OST.

Along with the invitation comes a marriage contract.

Later, after he gets a taste of married life, the contract's promise to treat each other with courtesy and not interfere in each other's affairs becomes a joke.

Jiang Beiwei rubs her aching waist. "I don't remember you being like this when we were kids. I still like the you who acted like you couldn't care less about me."

Cheng Luyan frowns and tosses a stack of contracts aside. "Who said that?"

He kisses her lips. "I've liked you since we were kids. Everyone around us knows it. How are you the only one who couldn't tell?"

··

Cheng Luyan can't remember when he fell for Jiang Beiwei.

Maybe it was when she brought him home after he got lost in the wilderness at seven?

Or when he skipped school and she stood in the cold wind all afternoon as punishment for helping him cover it up?

Or maybe it was the girl who stubbornly stayed by his side, no matter what happened.

Just when he thought they would spend their lives together, Jiang Beiwei disappeared right before his eyes.

She was gone for three years.

When they meet again, he is almost frantic to keep her by his side.

She wants to make something of herself, so he paves the way for her to become a highly sought-after composer.

Everything he does is just to hear her say, "I love you."

#JiangBeiweiLivestream#

The hashtag tops the trending searches one night.

All because Cheng Luyan says something in the bathroom while she's livestreaming.

Through the misty steam, viewers can't make out what he said, and wild guesses flood the internet.

"Sis, who is that man? Waaaaah, my heart is broken."

"Who could possibly be good enough for such a gentle, generous big sister? Waaaaah, don't let some scumbag fool you."

While the whole internet is wailing and speculating, a glaring marriage certificate appears in the comments.

Cheng Yan: My wife finally let me show my face. We're perfect for each other!

One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first love, and both have been secretly in love.

#You are the only person I will ever love in this life.#

Second upcoming novel

Editor Lin Qingye transmigrates by accident into a war-torn era.

Her father doesn't love her, her mother doesn't care for her, and she's branded a fake heiress who stole another person's life.

Unexpectedly, the real heiress, Lin Shiwei, holds no grudge and still takes her in.

The Lin clan is a powerful family, able to live securely even in a time of chaos.

Lin Qingye begins a lazy life of doing as little as possible and waiting to die.

Until one day, she passes Lin Shiwei's door and hears her teaching the servants inside.

Women must be independent.

Women hold up half the sky.

Mr. De and Mr. Sai.

Lin Qingye's brain short-circuits...

She pulls Lin Shiwei outside and urgently tests their secret code.

"Palace Court Jade Liquor."

Lin Shiwei: "..."

"Five words drift down from the sky."

Lin Shiwei: "..."

"Where's the best excavator technology?"

Lin Shiwei: "Frog... frog chicken?"

Lin Qingye is distraught and asks miserably, "You're not an undercover agent sent by the Japanese, are you?"

Lin Shiwei's eyes light up. "Do you know Mr. De and Mr. Sai?"

Lin Qingye nearly cries. "I know them very well. Democracy and science, right?"

Lin Shiwei takes her hand. "Comrade, hello!"

Only later does she learn that Lin Shiwei is a highly educated student who returned from studying abroad.

She devoted herself to building the nation, but died on the eve of dawn, never seeing the first rays of the new sun.

With the country torn apart by ceaseless warfare, Lin Qingye and Lin Shiwei rely on the Lin clan and make plans one after another.

They build arms factories, start newspapers, and open schools.

They root out treacherous ministers and end the fighting.

To spare the people the suffering of war, Lin Qingye leads the army to eliminate the threat once and for all.

"I told you we'd win!"
