My Lady, Will We Still Be Alive Tomorrow?

Coming next: A Grudge of Love, older woman/younger man, coercive romance, and old-school melodrama. Blurb at the bottom!

Gan Min has been reborn hundreds of times with a System mission. On the verge of a mental breakdown, she finally sums up her principles of “three things not to trust.”

First, the original story's plot can't be trusted. Second, the System's mastermind can't be trusted. Third, men surnamed Chu can't be trusted.

On her final rebirth, as she is being carried off in a bridal sedan to become a concubine in the Zhang family, Gan Min flees barefoot into the blizzard.

She barely makes it half a mile before blood splatters across the bridal sedan and the ground is strewn with gore. Someone comes looking for her with a sword in hand.

The man is surnamed Chu. He is a scion of the imperial family, more handsome than the immortals, cold and capricious yet exceptionally clever. He was granted a princely title at sixteen and given his own estate to manage.

He forcibly drags Gan Min back to his prince's residence as she tries to take her own life in a cave.

The Prince of Yong's residence welcomes a new, unmentionable master. Beautiful as an immortal and delicately built, she uses her many chronic illnesses as an excuse to have a small courtyard built where doctors can live long-term.

In the original story, Chu Guiyun is cruel and capricious. In front of Gan Min, however, he shows her nearly boundless indulgence. Palaces of jade are within reach, and Chu Guiyun lays mountains of gold and silver at her feet.

Until the truth begins to emerge.

Chu Guiyun has also been reborn. He protects her because their lives are bound together. If she dies, Chu Guiyun cannot survive either.

Blurb for A Grudge of Love ↓

After her father and brothers are convicted and beheaded, the whole family is exiled. Mingxin falls from being a highborn young lady to a servant and is sent to serve in the Shenbi Palace, a place everyone avoids.

The Shenbi Palace was once the home of a wicked consort. Now, the only one left there is her son, an imperial prince who has long been mentally impaired.

Mingxin is fifteen that year when she nervously pushes open the palace gates.

The person before her, with hair like dry grass, turns back in alarm. A moment later, he beams at her. “Mother Consort.”

Children are innocent. Mingxin pats Zhou Guanfu's back and hums a song he learned from his mother, continuing until the night before she leaves the palace at twenty-five.

Rain pours down, and thunder shakes the heavens.

The youth has grown taller and more beautiful, yet he still hides in Mingxin's arms, insisting, “As long as the thunder keeps going, Elder Sister won't leave.”

Mingxin pauses. “You... aren't mentally impaired anymore?”

After a brief silence, Zhou Guanfu grabs her sleeve and squeezes into her embrace. His eyes are clear and guileless. “What are you talking about, Elder Sister? I've always been a fool.”

-

The new emperor takes the throne. He has hundreds of people who harmed his mother buried alive and stops at nothing to slaughter his brothers. For three whole months, blood flows through the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the ministers live in constant fear.

On the day Mingxin is married, the place is a shambles and a guest lies dead at the wedding banquet. That is the first time she sees Zhou Guanfu in his right mind, the very new emperor everyone fears.

His face is cold as ice and his eyes are dark. He lifts a hand to wipe away the blood spattered on his cheek, wounded by the fear in Mingxin's eyes. “...Elder Sister, are you afraid of me?”
