Of Course, the Delicious Male Lead Belongs to Her

[Arc 3 complete] (Expected to go behind the paywall on August 3, with chapters 1-25 becoming paid)

(1) [Free-spirited emperor x deeply devoted, patient prime minister (both reborn)]

No one knew that the traitor who supposedly confessed to her crimes and took her own life was also the person in the emperor's heart, long after the emperor had passed away.

She kept her love hidden deep inside, burying it deeper and deeper until there was no chance left to confess it.

Fortunately, Heaven took pity on her and let her live again.

She met her Zhanming once more. This man, who had once ridden with her across the vast desert and helped pacify the Central Plains, was still so elegant and noble, so stubborn and infuriating.

(2) [A seductive overlord in a chaotic age x a legendary general seized by force]

At fifteen, Yan Jueming made a name for himself in battle and was named General of Tiger Might. At sixteen, he seized the enemy's banner on the battlefield and personally cut down their great general. At seventeen, he took sole command of the army, accepting the Yan family forces from his father and brothers. When he was twenty, the King of Zhou praised him in front of the entire court, calling him "my Great Wall."

He never imagined he would become a defeated general, a prisoner in chains.

Even less did he imagine that one day, he would become not only a turncoat, but also a court entertainer, reduced to a plaything on the Qin King's bed, curled up in his arms and receiving his favor.

Once a pine on the southern mountain, now a beam in the palace.

(3) [Free-spirited man of letters x insecure, frail, genuinely castrated eunuch]

The Marquis of Ding'an, who had turned down the post three times, was summoned to the palace. The emperor glared at her. "If I don't reward someone for their achievements, won't everyone under Heaven call me stingy?"

The Marquis of Ding'an thought for a moment, then said, "Then give me a person."

The emperor grew interested at once. "What person?"

A former court eunuch from the previous dynasty, infamous throughout the land, whom everyone wanted dead.

(Completed arc) Xianxia world

[Reader's guide] The two protagonists themselves remain the same, but they have no memories in each world. Their personalities differ, and their names change, too. In the end, they'll return to their original world, where the reason will be explained. The order of the worlds is undecided, and worlds may be added, removed, or revised.

[A rebel at heart and the melancholy beauty by her side who loves writing bitter poems]

In his previous life, Xiao Fang was sentenced to death by the emperor he'd personally helped ascend the throne. He drank a cup of poisoned wine and died vomiting blood, full of grief and resentment. Then he was reborn at the age of twenty.

When I married, I wore my red wedding robes with shy delight. Now I understand that a lord is hard to trust.

A lord is hard to trust, but I still remember the vows we made.

Remembering the kindness she'd shown him in the past, Xiao Fang still became her subject.

Ming Xi was obsessed with rebellion, and had no particular fondness for the Xiao family's phoenix-born beauty who had joined her cause. He was aloof and proud, unrestrained and wild, drunk all day long, no different from those aristocratic young men who did nothing but talk and seek pleasure.

So although Ming Xi treated him with respect, she never grew close to him or cherished him.

But this marginal figure in her faction unexpectedly risked his life to save her in a moment of danger.

Shocked, Ming Xi began to look at Xiao Lang in a new light.

Only belatedly did Lord Ming realize that there was a gaze... one that had always watched her quietly from behind.
