Third-person narration (the entire cast gets a tragic ending)
One
Because I knew my place, I became his second empress. I watched the emperor visit the deposed empress late at night again and again.
That was when I realized that, in the emperor's heart, I was an unnecessary presence.
I was introverted by nature and didn't like to talk.
The deposed empress had once been a singer. Her voice was sweet and she was quick-witted, far more skilled than I was at pleasing him.
Two
The new emperor had only just ascended the throne, and his position was unstable. If the powerful minister's plot to poison the empress hadn't been exposed, forcing him to depose her to save her, I would never have become his second empress.
Later, I stumbled upon the deposed empress secretly meeting someone else. After that, I was poisoned and left mute.
Years later, a coup took place. The deposed empress became empress again, but the emperor was no longer emperor.
Three
He was imprisoned in a dungeon and tortured until he was broken.
The new emperor and empress said I had done them a service. They promised to let me leave the palace and grant me one request.
I begged them to spare him. They said I was insane. Fortunately, they agreed in the end.
Four
I carried him, covered in blood, out of the dungeon. His blood soaked through my clothes. In the glow of the setting sun, he and I slowly walked toward another prison.
Life in captivity was bitter. To survive and save him, I had no choice but to give myself to another man. He was the empress's younger brother, a generous man who even healed my voice.
It had been a transaction in which we each got what we needed, but both the emperor and empress came to find me a husband. They promised me fine clothes and food, a life of luxury, and the title of princess consort. Those were all wonderful things, but I didn't want them.
Content warning:
Not a strong female lead story. Physical and emotional abuse.
The modern-day bonus story, "Everyday Promiscuity," is now updating alongside the main story.
"Selling My Wife" is now available.
Upcoming story: "Selling My Wife"
Husband: "Where can a poor young man find food? He leads his wife on all fours to the street.
He asks who might buy her, so he won't have to lie down in a ditch and die."
Wife: "On this day, fate has treated me cruelly. How could I bear to part from you so suddenly?
I would gladly cut flesh from my own body to feed you for a day."
He and I were childhood sweethearts, married young. We wed at fifteen, but at seventeen, our family was destroyed.
Before he went to war, he sold me as a concubine to a wealthy household.
He said I was too beautiful, and he couldn't protect me. If I stayed by his side, I would die.
He said he'd come back once he returned in glory.
He sold me for a hundred taels of silver, took the money, and walked away without looking back.
Ten years passed, and he really did return.
He was now emperor, while an accident had left me crippled, able to walk only with a cane for the rest of my life.
He came to take me away. The day he did, he made quite a show of it. The streets inside and outside the city were choked with traffic, and fireworks went off all night.
Later, I became a crippled consort in the harem. He told me to focus on recovering and forbade me from leaving the palace.
I thought he was probably ashamed of me and didn't want me to embarrass him in public.
Theme: Don't overlook the love of someone who rarely speaks
Author, you win 😭, I have almost finished reading such a cruel and bloody article that has no sweetness. I am not the audience at all. Fortunately, you are very receptive. Orz, to be honest, you are very good at telling stories and you can finish it very fluently. But after reading the whole story, as a reader, I struggled for most of it and finally got relief. It was too pessimistic and there was no hope. There was a slight sense of emptiness and absurdity. I need to read two sweet articles to calm down. However, I admire the author for daring to create such a niche and crazy story in the current environment. Maybe you will be better at writing about popular themes. The choice is yours. Just write it yourself and be happy. Come on! Finally, I wish the author all the best in his current life and be happy every day [Rose]
Sure enough, the man and woman hugging each other and crying when they were reincarnated were Shen Yao and Tan Jie.
How should I put it? I feel that if Hu You really becomes the empress, I believe she will make Tan Jie the empress ()
[] Hahaha, it's a niche novel. After reading it, I just felt that the heroine and the second heroine are a perfect match. The other men all have their own differences.
If Hu You started out as a boy in that era, I feel like she would be the one to ascend to the throne in the end.
Every word Song Yujun said made people feel embarrassed. It was amazing that the agency could tolerate him.
Congratulations to the author after reading this, it's a very interesting story. The only thing I'm curious about is, was Shen Yao's leg crippled by the emperor? Reading the text, it says that Song Changfeng actually admires him? Or was it actually the second female lead who did it. Also, when will the agency actually see his mother? In this life.
Are Hu You and Hu Xian still siblings in this life? It feels like if a rich family starts, Hu Youjiu will let go of his arms and pursue a career.
I want to see if Mrs. Tan doesn't insist on letting Tan Jie become the queen after Hu You becomes the queen.
Laughing to death, the only thing I like about the male protagonist is the cover image of this book. [Covering face, laughing and crying]
