My younger sister-in-law once told me that Third Prince's heart was made of durian, and warned me not to fall too deeply for him.
Back then, I didn't understand. Every time Yinzhi said he didn't like me, his wife, he would still kiss my lips until they swelled and leave me unable to get out of bed the next day. Besides, I had given birth to all his children.
I thought he was the sort of man my fourth younger sister-in-law described, someone whose words denied what his actions revealed, and that he really did love me.
Until all three of the women in the rear courtyard became pregnant.
Only then did I understand what my fourth younger sister-in-law meant: Yinzhi's heart was like a durian, with someone living on every single spike. My heart finally turned to ash, and I decided to go on strike. Whoever wanted to serve him could do it themselves. I was done!
But Third Prince seemed to go mad.
P.S. The male lead is not a virgin, while the female lead is. The unhinged Third Prince Yinzhi x the sweet, delicate young wife Dong'e Qingwan. The main story is told in third person from the heroine's perspective.
Ongoing: The Fourth Master's Beloved
Gu Shuangyue transmigrated into the future Yongzheng Emperor Yinzhen's kept woman.
At first, she was extremely unwilling.
But later, she decided that living outside the household meant she wouldn't have to serve a man, and would still have someone protecting her. She also had a portable space with a spiritual spring, so this life wasn't entirely unacceptable.
So Gu Shuangyue settled into a daily routine of shopping and eating, and was happy all day long.
The only problem was that Yinzhen wasn't too pleased.
Why did he have to work himself to the bone while Gu Shuangyue lived so carefree a life?
So Gu Shuangyue was brought back to his residence, and her good days came to an end.
But she didn't want to fight the women in the rear courtyard! Her skills at palace intrigue were nonexistent!
Unexpectedly, she didn't need to fight at all. Yinzhen protected her every step of the way, even helping her rise to the position of empress.
But being his favorite wasn't easy. She desperately needed a back-support pill!
P.S. An alternate world. The domineering, forceful Fourth Prince Beile x a beautiful woman with a delicate body. He becomes devoted exclusively to her in the middle and later stages.
Completed: The Fourth Master's Wife Is Done with This (Qing Dynasty)
After Wulanara Lingxin recovered her memories from before she transmigrated, she discovered she had become the future Yongzheng Emperor's principal wife. But she wasn't Yinzhen's first love or his later love. She was just his housekeeper.
She had to face Yinzhen's cold expression every day, working herself to death and dying before she had any chance to enjoy life. This time, she was done. She wouldn't do it, no matter what!
Yinzhen thought his soft, sweet little wife had changed. She laughed and chatted with everyone else, but gave him nothing but a cold face.
Everyone saw their matching cold expressions and said the couple looked more and more alike. But Yinzhen thought something was wrong, and felt a pang of jealousy.
Later, Yinzhen heard that his wife planned to run away. Then he would just have to lock her up.
Lingxin: No, no, no to forced love!
P.S. Alternate world, both leads are virgins.
Completed: After the Fourth Master's Kept Woman Ran Away (Qing Dynasty)
Qin Xueting transmigrated to the era of the Nine Princes' succession struggle and became the future Yongzheng Emperor Yinzhen's kept woman. Thinking of the palace's treacherous infighting, Qin Xueting thought, I really want to run away, but what if I have no money?
Then she took a good look at Yinzhen. He was handsome and well-endowed... And as a prince, he was probably quite rich. She wouldn't be losing out by staying with him.
So Qin Xueting used her sweet words and all kinds of tricks she'd seen in the modern world to get quite a lot of gold, silver, and jewels from Yinzhen.
Qin Xueting thought she'd saved enough for retirement and could run away, but to save his face, she decided to fake her death instead.
Yinzhen, who was usually calm and collected, crushed his wine cup the moment he heard the news.
Later, Yinzhen discovered that Qin Xueting had only run away. He swore that once he caught her, he would give her a proper lesson.
P.S. Alternate world, both leads are virgins.
Coming soon: The Qing Dynasty's Favorite Consort of Kangxi
Si Yu transmigrated into the Qing Dynasty's imperial harem, becoming a nameless, disfavored maid assigned to the emperor's private quarters.
What kind of life did an unwanted maid in the emperor's private quarters have?
She shared a room with three others, could eat only two meals a day, had to wear plain, oversized clothes and take shifts working with the other maids, and still had to sleep with Kangxi at night.
Si Yu: This is awful! Truly awful! Even modern wage slaves don't have it this bad!
In short, for a private room, three proper meals a day with meat, pretty clothes, and freedom from work, Si Yu decided she was going to become the emperor's favorite consort!
