Coming soon: “You Say She’s My Wife?” Please add it to your collection!
Blurb: Song Yao is a top graduate who landed a job straight out of university. Plenty of people at work have their eye on her, and someone takes the opportunity over lunch to ask about her relationship status.
Song Yao answers honestly, “I was married.”
Her colleague is surprised. “Huh?”
Song Yao: “We got divorced.”
Her colleague is shocked. “What?!”
Song Yao: “My ex-husband died.”
Her colleague is stunned. “Huh???!!!”
The people of the Qing Dynasty: …
Yinzhen: …
The princes before the sky screen: Pfft.
The colleague can only awkwardly remark, “He died so young. His family must be devastated.”
Song Yao: “It’s fine. His whole family died too, so they aren’t sad.”
Her colleague: ???
Kangxi: ?
The princes: ?
The consorts: ?
Yinzhen: That’s a relief.
Seeing her colleague sweating profusely, Song Yao starts wondering if she went too far. After a moment’s thought, she adds, “He lived longer than most. He sent all his brothers to meet their father.”
Her colleague: She seems to be trying to comfort me, and she’s so pretty and so sincere about it, so I’ll believe half of what she says.
Kangxi: Sent them to meet whom?!
The princes clench their fists: Who’d have thought it was you, with that honest-looking face!
Yinzhen: …
.
In the fifth year after she transmigrated, the System finally came online.
It gave Song Yao two choices.
【1. Stay in the Qing Dynasty. You can intervene in the timeline and change the fate of the child in your womb, who is destined to die young.】
【2. Follow the timeline and go home in ten years.】
Song Yao chose the second option without hesitation.
It was the home she’d longed for day and night.
“I’m not Song Shi, and I’m not Lady Song. I’m just Song Yao.”
【They tempt me with fine jade, bind me with the glory of family, and trap me with the great duty of bearing children. But my blood is red, and so is my heart. I will always and only believe in the sun of the East.】
1. A sky-screen story. The female lead returns home after fifteen years in the Qing Dynasty, while her modern life is broadcast to people in the past.
2. The historical-era portion is substantial. If you only want the sky-screen plot, you can skip ahead using the title.
3. The female lead willingly gives up her child. Please consider carefully if that bothers you.
4. I dislike all feudal dynasties. Long live communism! Dynasty fans, please don’t attack one another in the comments.

My next story will be “You Say She’s My Wife?” Please add it to your collection!
Blurb: When an unknown creature claiming to be a System finds Xie Yuzhen, it tells him that he is destined for a tribulation of love in this life. If he gets through it, he’ll ascend to immortality. If he fails, he’ll lose all his cultivation and spend the rest of his life entangled in the mortal world.
The cultivation world’s universally acknowledged overachiever, Xie Yuzhen, first wonders if he’s recently gone astray in his cultivation and let an evil spirit find a way in.
He believes his Dao heart is firm and that no evil spirit can disturb him.
But the System is cunning. While he’s in a secret realm fighting a vicious dragon, it throws him into another world devoid of spiritual energy.
Then it points to the woman across from him and says: 【Go. Make her fall for you.】
Xie Yuzhen, the number-one wooden block of the immortal sect: Who? Me?
【The righteous path’s top cultivator x a proper, well-mannered young lady from an eminent family】
1. Told from the female lead’s perspective.
2. The female lead lives in a fictional dynasty. The male lead comes from the cultivation world, but that world is only described briefly.
Theme: Long live freedom
