(Complete, with occasional modern-era bonus chapters)
Next up: After Becoming My Ex-Husband's Concubine
The Chancellor's family fell from power overnight, and the once-powerful Chancellor was thrown into prison.
To save her father, Wen Lian, the Crown Prince's betrothed, knelt outside the Eastern Palace for a whole day and night,
begging the Crown Prince to help the Chancellor's family through the crisis.
But the Eastern Palace doors stayed shut.
The man refused to come out, letting Wen Lian stand in the rain all night.
.
After returning home, Wen Lian fell gravely ill. When she woke, she had forgotten her past.
All she knew was that her father was locked away in prison and waiting for her to save him.
Her stepmother told her there was only one way to rescue him:
She had to form a marriage alliance with the General's family and marry their young master.
Everyone knew the young master was a notorious womanizer who did whatever he pleased, a shameless rogue renowned throughout the capital. To save her father, Wen Lian agreed to the marriage.
The young master loved the Duke's legitimate daughter and did everything he could to oppose the match. But under pressure from his family, he had no choice but to marry Wen Lian. Afterward, he treated her coldly and never showed her the slightest kindness.
Yet Wen Lian regarded him as her husband, caring for him and tending to his needs without complaint.
All she had ever wanted was to be a good wife and mother.
But she did not know that her husband had already ordered someone to replace her pregnancy-preserving medicine.
He did not want her child. He was only waiting for the furor to die down so he could drive her out of the General's residence.
.
The world descended into chaos, and the young general joined the army. He only needed to earn military merit, then return and ask the emperor for an edict divorcing Wen Lian.
But on the eve of his departure, seeing her reddened eyes, he took out all his pent-up feelings on her. He had meant to make Wen Lian stay in her place, but who could have expected her to become pregnant?
Three years later, he returned to the capital, covered in battle honors.
For some reason, all he wanted was to see his delicate wife as soon as possible.
But when he arrived home, he learned that Wen Lian had been driven out of the General's residence a year earlier.
He went to the Chancellor's residence to look for her, only to find her holding a little boy in her arms, with a refined scholar at her side. There was no place for him anymore.

Coming Soon: The Pearl Curtain Rises (Choose Your Love Interest)
A beautiful wife at home, surrounded by a pack of wolves
.
Fang Qing was sickly, with nothing but a pretty face. She could neither lift nor carry anything.
A fortune-teller said she would not live to see twenty unless she met her destined love.
In the year she came of age, the wandering fortune-teller returned with his findings.
Fang Qing stared at the dirty little boy struggling before her, her expression complicated.
"This is my destined love?"
.
A great fire broke out. Fang Yuanyuan died saving people during a flood, leaving the two of them alone to rely on each other.
With nothing left to tie her to the world after her father's death, Fang Qing simply broke off her engagement to Fang Lin and added him to her clan register.
She went from being his fiancée to his older sister, raising him alone for five years. She taught him how to deal with people, read and write, and turned a rude, unruly little vagabond into a cool, refined young gentleman, learned in the classics.
.
When he came of age, Fang Qing accompanied him to the capital to sit for the imperial examinations.
Once he passed, the young gentleman transformed into the capital's newest top scholar, a man everyone wanted to court.
When people learned he was unmarried, the capital's powerful families all came knocking to make his acquaintance.
Holding the emperor's edict arranging his marriage, Fang Lin returned home, intending to break off his engagement to Fang Qing.
But he found several matchmakers gathered around Fang Qing, asking whether she was promised to anyone.
Everyone had heard he was to marry, so they had set their sights on Fang Qing instead.
The capital was full of talented young men, and Fang Qing was dazzled by the choices.
Before she could make up her mind, her usually icy younger brother ordered the matchmakers out and demanded to know why she wanted to abandon him.
Fang Qing: ...

The three of them and Lian Lian must not end!! Although Song Gou is in charge, I still want to see my cousin and Qi Gou having an affair with Lian Lian! Song Gou is not allowed to have any opinions, even if he is the emperor, he cannot have any opinions! 🥺
In order to know who the heroine ended up with, I just finished reading this novel with a crazy plot. [Cat head]
It's funny. I feel like the author has forgotten what Song did before. Let me recall it for you. First, he chased the heroine everywhere and expressed his feelings to the heroine. After getting engaged to the heroine, he asked the heroine if she wanted to elope. After marrying the heroine, he still publicly chased the heroine. He told the heroine that he liked her. , Fighting for the female protagonist, publicly humiliating the female protagonist, scolding the female protagonist in front of the female protagonist for "not understanding human language", only lusting after the female protagonist's body but feeling that the female protagonist is not worthy of giving birth to his child, always thinking of divorcing his wife, so he changed the heroine's pregnancy-preserving medicine, and the heroine's health became worse because of the medicine, and she also vomited blood many times... I really have never abused him from the beginning to the end, not even a good apology. Now you just give me a sentence of "I have realized my mistake" and "It was his incompetence that caused Wen Lian to misunderstand and create the illusion"??? That's funny. Is this an illusion? Is this a misunderstanding? Was it because he didn't do the thing or what he said? He said that he couldn't recognize his own heart in the past and only liked the female protagonist. The author's whitewash was too blunt. His words were ambiguous and he couldn't even make a clear statement. In the past, whether he liked the female protagonist or not, he couldn't say it in just one sentence. In the past, the harm done to the heroine was real, but now I just want to erase it with a simple sentence of knowing that I was wrong. The author should not love men too much, okay.
Lian Lian is surrounded by big-tailed wolves [caigou]
I don't like Song Dog! I don't like Song Dog! Lian Lian must be in love with her cousin now!! 🥺
Song Gou, as long as you have the throne, 💔 Don't be too demanding. If they divorce you, don't even think about remarrying!
Reject him!! Reject him harshly!! It's okay to force him to death! 💔 I still want to remarry, which is a great idea! We still want to go to Jiangnan! Won't be back!
How can this old emperor still be content? [Fear]
I received a thoughtful reply, I'll eat it, I'll eat it
? Who wears earrings and smokes, so scoundrel [caidog]
