[Sharp-Tongued, Righteous Female Minister of Justice VS Tragic, Powerful, Unhinged Minister]

*The main story is complete. Enjoy!

*My next book is "Has Mr. Lu Successfully Retired Today?" It's about a heroine trying to stay alive VS a brilliant, scheming hero. The blurb is at the end. If you're interested, please add it to your collection!

You Gu Xue transmigrated into a book at the worst possible time.

From the start, she was thrown into prison. The unhinged minister Yan Xi, who had caused all of this and planned to wipe out her entire family, was the very target she had to reform.

In the original book, "Return to Court with Joy," he was the villain who tore apart lovers, murdered his master, imprisoned a consort, and eventually died a gruesome death.

Her mission was to rewrite that ending.

Everyone said Fourth Miss You was a lovesick fool who threw herself at Yan Xi, only to be rejected.

You Gu Xue: ...Thanks for asking, but if I hadn't been bound to a symbiotic System, who would want to care whether this madman lived or died?

To stay alive, she had no choice but to become a female Tang Monk, lecturing him earnestly every day.

Was the task difficult?

Very.

But worrying ahead of time was like taking out a loan to eat shit. You Gu Xue, reborn for a second life, was determined to complete the mission.

Yan Xi's thoughts were deep as the sea, and he never kept his word. He was not even fit to be called a hypocrite. You Gu Xue suspected he was a fake person.

Yet this "fake person" made her all sorts of promises.

"With me here, you'll live to a hundred."

"I never break my promises to you."

"A Xue, I've taken too many lives. The gods and Buddhas won't protect me, and I've even dragged you down with me. I'm sorry."

"I killed my way into the underworld and took her life back. No one can take it from her, not even the emperor."

2. Yan Xi never believed in justice.

His father tortured his mother to death. Then Yan Xi endured humiliation and personally ground his enemy's bones to dust, climbing to the heights of power over a mountain of corpses.

The world called him sinister, treacherous, and rebellious. He sneered at the hypocrisy of all mankind, until a woman who claimed she had "come for him" forced her way into his bloodstained world.

You Gu Xue was the nosiest person he had ever met. She even cared about whether a dog lived or died.

She calmly told him, "The Judge's brush can never write down all the evil in the world. I insist on being a beacon in this mortal realm."

Once, when she was drunk and mumbling in her sleep, she had leaned on his back and praised his name, saying it was a good name, full of light. Xi meant light, and Ming Yi was light too.

He used to think his name was an utterly cruel joke.

Then one day, in the barren nightmare of his childhood, she planted wild daisies with her own hands until the whole place was covered in flowers, and told him, "This is what life looks like."

She also told him that now she was here, his good fortune would last a long, long time.

1. The story focuses on serious political intrigue, with no household infighting, love rivals, or green tea schemers. It mainly explores human nature and the imperial court.

2. One-on-one romance, both leads' first relationship, happy ending, and mutual healing. This is my first attempt at this kind of serious story, but I'll keep the wording light. The System won't play a major role, and the characters have complete freedom.

3. Updated daily at six o'clock sharp. I already have plenty of chapters written, so if you're interested, feel free to give it a try.

New novel seeking preorders: "Has Mr. Lu Successfully Retired Today?"

Woman disguised as a man | Slight forced romance | Both leads' first relationship | Heroine trying to stay alive X brilliant, scheming hero

Lu Rangrang transmigrates as the seven-year-old illegitimate daughter of the Lu family. Her birth mother is peerlessly beautiful, but only a concubine, and has failed to bear a child for three years.

Lu Rangrang points at herself. "Then what am I?"

The Lu family matriarch gives a cold snort. "If you don't have a dick, you don't count."

Lu Rangrang smiles. "Feudal relic."

The Lu family is an imperial merchant family, rich enough to rival a nation. Yet Lu Rangrang and her mother never get enough to eat. Her beautiful mother is timid and is constantly bullied by the main wife. Lu Rangrang knows this old-fashioned plotline all too well: the illegitimate daughter rises to power?

Seven-year-old Lu Rangrang is as bold as a tumor. As a modern person, she believes speaking up when you're unhappy and seeking justice when you're wronged are basic rights. She boldly stops her father's carriage and complains that the main wife is mistreating them. Who could have guessed that her outburst would drive away the Second Prince, the powerful ally her father had been courting?

In a single night, the Lu family becomes the scapegoat for the corruption of the imperial relatives and nobles. The family falls into ruin, and the night Lu Rangrang pleads her case, she is beaten within an inch of her life. Her mother tries to save her, but is struck in the temple and dies on the spot.

She becomes the family's scapegoat, the culprit responsible for her mother's death.

As expected, those feel-good web dramas are all lies.

From then on, Lu Rangrang's goal changes from rising above her status as an illegitimate daughter to making money for retirement, escaping the Lu family, and finding a corner of the world where she can sit and watch the clouds drift by.

Ten years later, the Lu family wants to secure a bright future for her legitimate eldest brother, Lu Rong, so they marry her off to the deceased illegitimate son of Prince Wei's household. In other words, they arrange a ghost marriage.

They've dumped all the crap on her head. Lu Rangrang turns around, disguises herself as a man, and impersonates Lu Rong to enter the Wei household, where she becomes an adviser.

The Wei family is an imperial clan with a different surname from the ruling dynasty, whose power threatens the emperor. They even have their own fiefdom, making them a true king without a crown and a top-tier aristocratic family.

The Wei family conquered this empire. In other words, they decide who gets to be emperor.

Being a student of the emperor is nowhere near as promising as becoming an adviser to the Wei family.

The Lu family is furious and wants to kill Lu Rangrang. She calmly says, "The heir, Wei Jue, is coming south from Beidai to take charge of the capital. He's seen me, so from today on, I'm Lu Rong, an adviser to the Wei family. Don't forget, we're all one family. The ghost marriage never happened, and if the truth comes out, we'll all die together. Families should stick together, so if you deceive the Wei family, don't think you have the guts to do it."

Not only does the ghost marriage fail to take place, she's also committed the crime of impersonation. Deceiving the Wei family is more terrifying than deceiving the emperor.

She thinks that as an adviser in the Wei household, she can enjoy a period of peace. But disaster strikes from above. A princess refuses to marry for an alliance and has long been in love with Wei Jue. At a palace banquet, she drugs Wei Jue, hoping to change her fate. That is when she runs into Lu Rangrang, who is disguised as a eunuch.

After one wild night, Lu Rangrang wants to die, but can't.

When Wei Jue wakes up, he is stunned. He vaguely remembers sleeping with a eunuch last night, but when he wakes in the morning, the eunuch is gone. Furious, Wei Jue turns the entire imperial palace upside down, but still cannot find him. His face darkens, and when he notices the streak of red on the bed, it turns even darker.

Hah. The eunuch even left a bloodstain.

The emperor is baffled. "Why are you making such a fuss looking for a eunuch?"

Wei Jue grits out two words. "Recovering stolen property."

The emperor: "What property?"

His chastity.

Bonus scene:

Wei Jue tears through the imperial palace, determined to find a delicate-looking young eunuch. Word spreads through the palace that the heir looks ready to kill someone. Lu Rangrang shrinks back and asks the head adviser to assign her to manage the Wei family's properties and shops in Fengcheng, so she can hurry away from this dangerous place.

Managing properties and shops is so pleasant that Lu Rangrang lies flat with ease. But the Lu family refuses to let her be, insisting she get closer to the Wei family's inner circle and win Wei Jue's favor so he will help the Lu family.

Lu Rangrang throws herself into her work.

She works hard at selling the Wei family's houses and shops under her care, then puts the money she earns right back into the Wei family's coffers to pad her performance metrics. Her results are so impressive that Lu Rangrang really is transferred back.

When her scheme is exposed, Wei Jue looks at the account book and laughs in anger. She sold off Wei family property to fill the Prince Wei household's coffers, then had the nerve to call it profit for the estate. What a clever way to make money out of nothing. He grips the account book, his piercing gaze fixed on the person kneeling below him and trembling like a sieve. "The accounts don't add up, Mr. Lu. You're short thirty coins."

Lu Rangrang looks at him in terror. "I... I... I only made a little profit on the difference... I ran errands to find a broker... That... that's physical labor too..."

Wei Jue smiles as he tears the account book to pieces. "Drag her into the courtyard, strip off all her clothes, and give her a hundred strokes with the military rod as a warning to the rest."

Lu Rangrang: !!!!

Theme: The Judge's brush can never write down all the evil in the world. I insist on being a beacon in this mortal realm.
