Now complete, with bonus chapters to come!
A story about a parasitic vine with a little cleverness who gradually grows into a towering tree.
-----Blurb-----
A beauty who kills with her looks and acts like a drama queen x an arrogant emperor who says one thing but does another.
Like countless other rebirth stories, Yuan Denghuan, also known as Xunniang, gets a second chance after being cruelly murdered by the wicked rival.
She is reborn, all right, but wakes up to a nightmare from the start.
She has only gone back a few days, to before the Duke's heir bought her first night. She's still in the brothel, and there's no way to escape.
She thinks it over for just a moment before making a firm decision: if she can't escape, she'll take a different path.
If even the Duke's heir won't do, then the only person worth clinging to is the most powerful man in the land...
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. So Emperor Jiang Yao becomes the hapless mark Yuan Denghuan chooses.
The delicate beauty falls at Emperor Jiang Yao's feet, her peerless face brimming with tears.
"My lord."
Using every bit of courage she has, Yuan Denghuan waits until Emperor Jiang Yao visits the brothel, then begins to seduce him with the perfect pose and expression she's practiced.
The emperor frowns, then reluctantly nods.
She does make it into the palace, but who knew the emperor chose her for reasons that had nothing to do with her looks? She was basically batting her eyelashes at a blind man.
At first, Emperor Jiang Yao swears he only sees Yuan Denghuan as a pawn to keep the harem in check, and that he'll replace her once she's no longer useful.
Later, after his little "pawn" keeps unconsciously batting her eyelashes at him, Jiang Yao gradually discovers the joys of watching her grow up and starts giving her whatever she wants.
Until Yuan Denghuan takes revenge by personally killing the princess of a neighboring kingdom who was her enemy in her previous life. The neighboring kingdom demands Yuan Denghuan's death to appease them.
Jiang Yao, usually the picture of reason, kicks aside a minister who suggests abandoning Yuan Denghuan.
"Even if the flower I raised myself brings the sky crashing down, I'll be the one to protect her."
Yuan Denghuan: "Who are you calling blind? Come over here and say that to my face!"
Jiang Yao: "Huan'er, you bat your eyelashes better than anyone."
P.S.
1. The heroine is like Lin Daiyu pulling a willow tree out of the ground. She seems timid and weak at first, but gradually reveals her sharp tongue and intelligence. A parasitic-vine exterior hides a strong heart that never turns against itself.
2. The hero chases after her; the heroine trains him like a dog.
3. The heroine loves herself most of all, from beginning to end.
4. The hero is a virgin.
My upcoming contemporary sweet romance, Beauty and the Dog, is open for follows!
Yang Si has met plenty of women, but this is the first time he's ever found one so terrifying.
Lin Cunxing's ability to read people with pinpoint accuracy and her skill at playing mind games are impressive. Yang Si knows she's not simple, but he still can't get away.
After all, everything is part of Lin Cunxing's plan.
The thing Lin Cunxing hates most in life is a playboy who thinks too highly of himself. They're all just out for fun, so why does he have to pretend he's serious?
Yang Si is getting a little anxious. "Look at me!" He grabs Lin Cunxing by the shoulders. "Xingxing, you know I didn't do it. I would never betray you."
Lin Cunxing knows he's innocent, but still looks away. "I thought you'd be different from the others..."
She sighs in disappointment. "You know how I am. With me... there's no room for mistakes."
Then she turns and walks away without looking back.
Left behind, Yang Si drops his helpless expression. "Damn it. I've been ridiculously well-behaved ever since we got together. Why is this woman so difficult?"
Lin Cunxing: Men need to be teased every so often, or they never learn.
P.S.
1. The leads start with sex and then fall in love; mature man and woman.
2. Neither is a good person at first. The hero is openly a scoundrel (but never crosses the line into cheating or anything like that), while the heroine plays innocent and pretends to be a harmless rabbit.
3. The hero suffers; the heroine doesn't.
4. A battle of experts, every move deadly.
My upcoming historical feel-good novel, Drunk, Unaware the Sky Is in the Water (Male Lead Reborn), is open for follows.

[Upcoming historical novel]
Arrogant, overbearing princess x loyal little scholar with two sides.
Li Yuanji is a pampered princess, doted on by her late father, the former emperor, and even more privileged after her biological older brother ascends the throne.
With such a status, Li Yuanji grows into an arrogant, overbearing young woman who does whatever she pleases.
Then, on her coming-of-age ceremony, Li Yuanji gets drunk and has a strange dream. In it, she sees that in the future she will force herself on the new top scholar, Yang Li, and humiliate him in every way.
But Yang Li will eventually become a powerful minister. After staging a coup and forcing his way into the palace, he imprisons Li Yuanji, the princess of the fallen dynasty, in the imperial harem. In the end, Li Yuanji cuts her wrists and dies.
When Li Yuanji wakes up, she thinks the dream is completely ridiculous and pays it no mind.
That is, until the new top scholar really is named Yang Li, and she keeps dreaming of details from her past life every time she gets drunk. At last, she realizes something is wrong.
So she decides: if she can't afford to offend him, she can at least stay away from him.
As long as she doesn't provoke Yang Li, none of the things in the dream will happen.
But when Li Yuanji meets Yang Li, she can't help being bewitched and getting close to him. And why is this Yang Li so different from the man in her past life, who hated her and was consumed by resentment?
In his previous life, Yang Li mistakenly believed that his enemy was Princess Li Yuanji of Shengzhao, so he deliberately got close to her after passing the imperial exams.
Only after he had finally toppled the Li family's dynasty did he discover that his true enemy was someone else.
By the time he realized the truth, it was too late. The pampered little princess, who had always been afraid of pain, had already died by suicide in the palace.
Fortunately, heaven gives him a chance to start over. Reborn during the imperial examinations, he resolves to do everything he can to make up for the mistakes of his previous life.
Theme: Love your country and family, be self-reliant, and strive to improve yourself.
Wow, oh, oh, I feel a little bit worthless for the heroine. Although the heroine is not sincere, she just doesn't want the heroine to suffer any grievances. I have to say that the writing is so beautiful. It's really beautiful. I really like the character of the heroine. She is beautiful on the outside, but she is not a beauty. Instead, she is tough on the inside. From the beginning, the heroine has only one goal, and that is to protect herself. Who can not love such a strong-hearted heroine? This novel is very attractive to me both in terms of character creation and plot rhythm. The tension between the male and female protagonists is also full. The two people have their own plans and use each other. Especially the male protagonist is currently just using the female protagonist as a shield. But in fact, this is a normal relationship. From the identity and experience of the two people, if the two people start, especially the emperor, who loves the female protagonist to death, he will deliberately do it. The female protagonist had a tragic experience in her previous life, while the male protagonist was an emperor. Such two people are destined not to put love first, but the more this happens, the more I look forward to the male protagonist's fall in the later period. After all, who doesn't love the drama of people in high positions bowing their heads for love?!! Took it in advance!!! On the contrary, the heroine is too sober and calm. She has always been clear about her position. She has a strong and tough heart under her weak appearance. The more I talk about it, the more I fall in love with it!!! All in all, the writing is very good, I will continue to follow it!!!
There are still 10,000 words updated today~
It's over. The ones that will be updated tomorrow will be sent out today in advance... Just think of it as my update tomorrow.
Is the male protagonist C? I saw something similar to the sentence about the copywriting not being lewd, but if it's not directly stated, you still have to ask.
"She herself is in the beginning of Tianbeng. She cannot achieve great things by dressing up as a woman like the women in the storybook." This is a big bug for the author~ Women disguise themselves as men
Damn, I didn't expect that Pei Lezhi would sacrifice himself like this...
I'm here again ~ fine It turns out Xiao also has memories
So the Queen Mother wants to win over Xiao. Xiao will also target the heroine in this life, so the heroine still has to face it head-on... And avenge her previous life.
Update update update!!!!!
So is it what I thought? Is it really going to start? 🐶
