A pampered, adorably scheming little consort × a gentle, sweet-talking emperor with a hidden ruthless side
Before the banquet celebrating the Crown Prince’s twentieth birthday, he stayed at Yong’an Temple under the pretense of praying for the emperor’s blessings. There he met a foolish young woman who ran into his private pavilion during a rainstorm and called him “Your Majesty.”
The Jiang family’s daughter was breathtakingly beautiful, yet kindhearted and easily bullied. Such a fine jade fallen into the mud was a real shame. He might as well bring her into the Eastern Palace and do a good deed.
After entering the palace, every smile and frown of Jiang Yunning tugged at his heart. He couldn’t bear to be apart from her for even a moment.
After ascending the throne, Xiao Yanci made Jiang Yunning Consort Rong, ranking her above all the other consorts.
After writing the imperial decree, he thought in high spirits that she would surely be delighted tonight and cling to him, asking for more.
But when he went to the inner chambers, he found them empty. The only thing there was a journal on the writing desk. It read:
Goal achieved: made a consort.
The emperor’s eyes darkened. He flipped back further:
July: brought back to the Eastern Palace by the Crown Prince. √
August: killed Shen Yuan. √
December: fell ill to win the Crown Prince’s sympathy. √
When Jiang Yunning stepped into the palace, she saw Xiao Yanci turning pages through her journal, his expression carefully composed.
She stumbled, then slid to her knees in front of him with a slap. Tears were already streaming down her face. “Your Majesty, I was wrong...”
A smile still played on Xiao Yanci’s lips as he asked, his meaning unclear, “What did you do wrong?”
Jiang Yunning stole a glance at his expression. “Was I wrong not to write down all the bad things I’ve done?”
Xiao Yanci chuckled. “You were wrong to let your servants leave your story lying around. I had them beaten to death. What do you think?”
That night, Jiang Yunning cried in bed until very late. The next day, she slept until the afternoon. When Xiao Yanci drew back the bed curtains and called to her, he discovered that her body had already gone cold.
Meanwhile, in her previous life.
Having just learned that Jiang Yunning had been murdered, Xiao Yanci spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at the young soldier who had brought him the news. “Say that again!”
For some reason, Jiang Yunning had become a young soldier. Tears streamed down her face. “Your Majesty!”
Reading notes:
1. This is not a story with an exceptionally powerful heroine. The heroine is an adorable little crybaby who often acts spoiled. It’s a straightforward, sweet romance focused entirely on the couple. The couple, and only the couple!
2. The heroine is reborn and seeks revenge in the first part, then returns to her previous life later. The hero starts out as the Crown Prince and later becomes emperor.
3. Both are faithful to each other in their past and present lives. The hero only dotes on the heroine, and the supporting characters have limited page time.
4. The complete novel costs only 8 yuan. Thanks for supporting the official version!
Coming soon: Wrongly Taking the Emperor’s Favor (Stealing a Minister’s Wife)
Everyone says Yi Qingyuan is lucky: she is breathtakingly beautiful, married into Prince Su’s household as his princess consort, and shares a loving marriage. All she needs now is to have a little heir, and her life will be complete.
But only Yi Qingyuan knows how carefully she has to tread.
On the eve of her wedding, she spent a night with a strange man.
Yi Qingyuan nervously made it through the wedding night’s scrutiny, planning to bury the secret forever.
But at the palace banquet a year later, she could no longer hide her terror.
Seated above everyone was Emperor Qianning, a stern and ruthless ruler.
She tried her best to keep a low profile, but still failed to escape notice. Emperor Qianning actually asked who she was.
The hall fell utterly silent. Kneeling in its center, she dared not raise her head for a moment.
“Your Majesty, I am Yi, the Princess Consort of Prince Su.”
Emperor Qianning’s expression instantly turned frightening. He stared at her trembling back for a long while, then gave a cold laugh.
“So you are Prince Su’s consort.”
While making an undercover visit to Qingzhou, Emperor Qianning took a woman to his bed.
She seemed to be a respectable young woman. The emperor had never been interested in women, but he still considered bringing her into his harem.
He never expected her to be so bold as to flee while carrying his child.
Emperor Qianning ordered his people to search all of Qingzhou, never imagining that he would find her in the palace.
Well, she had been right under his nose all along. He could hardly blame her for that.
