Fragrance Hidden in the Boudoir

Upcoming: Picked Up a Gentle Husband, After Spreading Rumors About My Nemesis ★Updates daily at 9 p.m.; plenty of chapters in reserve★ Su Yue was forced to bind herself to a System full of rules and restrictions. Every day, she had to fight her stepmother with a heart of stone, scrap with her sisters, and cry pitifully in front of her father. She had to tread carefully around her aunt, the Noble Consort, and walk on eggshells around her cousin, a prince. At last, she reached marrying age, and Su Yue perked right up. She was determined to find herself a husband who was strong, healthy, and full of energy! The System shrieked: No getting frisky! After rejecting a young general with an eight-pack and a strapping Imperial Guard, the System did its utmost to recommend the sickly young prince Ning Jie. When she met Ning Jie, the System wept with joy. Beautiful, sickly, and impotent: this was exactly the husband you should choose! Su Yue firmly refused. But one day, Ning Jie, looking utterly resigned, leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Marry me. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." / After being struck by lightning, the young prince Ning Jie found a System in his head. The System only issued tasks. If he failed to complete them, it would make him weaker with every passing day. The tasks included, but were not limited to: [Say, "Do you like it? I practiced for you."] [Lift someone's chin and say, "Keep crying..." ] [Pin someone against a wall and kiss them...] He had always been a man of impeccable virtue. There was no way he would give in. Until one day, he had no choice but to break his rules for Su Yue. When his young wife was so frightened that her face turned pale, yet still reached out to touch him with trembling lashes, he knew that the talk of her being Chang'an's most refined and demure young lady was a lie. She was just a little lecher with a bold imagination, a sharp tongue, and a fake air of virtue. #The couple accidentally bound themselves to each other's Systems. Reading guide: 1. Happy ending, one-on-one romance, alternate Tang dynasty. 2. The heroine is not a powerful female lead. This is a sweet little romance, with simple political intrigue and a focus on romantic tension. Readers with high expectations for political intrigue should choose with care. 3. The heroine has average intelligence. The hero's conscience has shut down; only his black heart is still beating. 4. No transmigration or transmigration into a book. This is a historical romance with two Systems: the heroine's System gives rewards for completing tasks, while the hero's System punishes him for failing them. The blurb calls them Systems for clarity, but in the story the leads refer to them as a demon woman and a deity. The cover is authorized by Xiao Niba. ★Upcoming: After Spreading Rumors About My Nemesis★ After the capital moved to Dajing, Rong Miaoning felt right at home. The noblewomen of Dajing were warm and uninhibited, and not bound by the rules for proper young ladies. There was just one problem: they liked to boast about how popular they were with men as proof of their beauty. To fit in, Rong Miaoning made her nemesis out to be a lovesick fool who was madly in love with her. But one day, the powerful families from the old capital moved to Dajing. Her nemesis's family was the first to arrive. * Things quickly spiraled out of control. Rumor had it that even the emperor had heard the gossip. Terrified, Rong Miaoning had no choice but to find her nemesis and ask him to deal with it. Cui Zhao sneered. "Fine. I'll clean up this mess, then deal with you." Rong Miaoning thought that once Cui Zhao had cleaned up the mess, she would make a quick escape. But an imperial edict ordering their marriage came down from on high. Cui Zhao cleaned up the mess, then dealt with her. ★Upcoming: The Gentle Husband I Picked Up Was the Crown Prince★ Marriage first, love later x mutual devotion After both her parents died, Wen Zhuxin wanted to bring a kind, gentle man from a poor family into her household as a live-in husband, to protect her vast inheritance from covetous relatives. During a heavy rainstorm, she rescued an injured young man while coming down the mountain. Simply dressed, kind-eyed, and suffering from amnesia, he was practically the perfect candidate sent right to her doorstep by Buddha. After she cared for him devotedly, the two married not long afterward. After they wed, Wen Zhuxin gave him a life of luxury, while he stood up for her and helped her fight the uncles who wanted to seize her family's estate. She thought they could live happily like that, but one day her husband regained his memories and said he had to leave her. Only then did Wen Zhuxin learn that the husband she'd picked up was the Crown Prince. He had to go back and resume his life as the exalted Crown Prince. Naturally, Wen Zhuxin couldn't stop him. But three days after he left, she realized they had never divorced. Still, she couldn't even imagine marrying the Crown Prince. Surely their marriage didn't count anymore. She took it upon herself to tear up their marriage contract, planning to find another kind and gentle live-in husband in the spring. But when matchmakers crowded into the Wen residence, ten miles of wedding gifts from the capital filled the front courtyard. At the same time, her husband, who had been missing all winter, was ushered in by his entourage. He glanced around, then smiled faintly. "What sort of live-in husband does Miss Wen want? Would someone like me be to your taste?" Wen Zhuxin: !!! Caught red-handed by her ex (crossed out) Crown Prince husband as she was about to cheat on him. Was she about to meet her doom?! Little scene: When a merchant's daughter became the exalted Crown Princess, everyone said bitterly that the Crown Prince was noble-minded and repaying a debt of gratitude, and that he couldn't possibly have genuine feelings for her. Wen Zhuxin thought so too. But later, Wen Zhuxin came out of the study rubbing her arm, close to tears. She used to manage the accounts for one household. Now she had to manage the accounts for the whole realm. She used to deal with uncles who wanted to devour her inheritance. Now she also had to guard against the gentle, charming Crown Prince. Life was so hard. QAQ Other completed novels: A Cool Breeze, a Bright Moon (super sweet!)
