The Son of Heaven as a Concubine

Jiang Yin, the Marquis's illegitimate daughter, is breathtakingly beautiful. As a girl, her face was disfigured. When she came of age and suitors were chosen for her, every talented young man who came to call was either ill or disabled. In the end, her legal mother could only send her to become the second wife of an old merchant.

Jiang Yin is easygoing, and less than half a month after the wedding, the old geezer kicked the bucket.

Jiang Yin was sent back to the marquis's estate, and rumors that she brought death to her husband soon spread. For a time, both young and old men avoided her like the plague.

With nowhere else to turn, she decided to become a nun and spend her days beside a Buddhist lamp.

She went through the wrong door and entered a royal Taoist temple, where she ran into the Crown Prince, Pei Qin, who was observing a fast. Mistaking him for the temple's abbot, she said,

"I wish to serve under you, Master. Please take me in."

He shut the door and refused to see her.

On the first day, he offered incense while she lit a cigarette.

On the second day, he chanted scriptures while she read a book.

On the third day, he bathed while she heated water.

There was always a little human tail following him around.

Over time, he got used to having her follow him. An illegitimate daughter becoming Crown Princess was out of the question, and even making her a consort would be a stretch.

One day, Jiang Yin realized she'd come to the wrong place. She should have found the real abbot to be her master.

On the day she was to become a nun, he dragged her into a dark room.

"Why become a nun? Do you want to do to someone else what you did to me?"

She answered, bewildered, "Mm."

"Marry me!"

"I bring death to my husbands. I won't be a concubine."

"Then I'll be your kept man. That way, I won't count as your husband."

Everyone knows that the new emperor has left his harem empty and keeps a woman hidden away in a golden house. They've had two children in three years, and she still hasn't been given an official title.
