A Wife for Ten Taels of Silver, a Concubine Worth a Thousand Gold

Three years ago, on their wedding night, with a few dishes of snacks and yellow wine, she married him and became his wife. Ten taels of silver in betrothal gifts had bought her lifelong love...

Two years later, his name was cleared and he rose to great heights, receiving the title of Prince Rui. Yet a month later, he brought home the top courtesan from Fengcai Tower, paying a thousand taels to redeem her...

Love: who was right and who was wrong? Marriage: what was right and what was mistaken?

The hardest thing to see through was that elusive figure, at times close and at times distant...

And so her heart died, and her feelings faded...

Only when a cup of poisoned wine was placed before her did Yan Zinuo suddenly awaken. He wanted more than her position as his principal wife. He wanted her life!

She felt wronged, wronged on her own behalf, but helpless. She could only kneel in the ancestral hall and weep bitterly before the Old Madam's memorial tablet.

“Mother! My heart hurts...”

Yi Ya has started a new novel, The Grand Princess Pingyang! Please show it some support!

“Elder” is a mark of respect. She was the elder sister of a great martial emperor, born of the same mother. She possessed the talent of a ruler who could shake the world, knew how to recognize talent, and could turn the tide in times of crisis.

At four, she followed her mother into the Cold Palace and took up residence in Yong Lane, but managed to turn her fortunes around with the excuse that “children speak without thinking.”

By ten, she was already clever and perceptive. Beneath her innocent smile, she played the game of power and helped her mother ascend to the position of empress, taking command of the Six Palaces.

At twelve, she deftly laid her plans, watching coldly from the sidelines while occasionally giving events a nudge. Proud and imperious, she insisted that only her younger brother could be Crown Prince.

At fourteen, she married in a flower-adorned sedan chair, smiling sweetly as she took leave of the palace and followed her husband's title, yet still unwilling to accept her fate.

The palace's coldness and cruelty made her heartless, and it was precisely her ruthlessness that helped build the Han court!

She personally trained one empress, and utterly devastated another woman.

A banquet of noble families in Weiyang Palace, tears without end in Changle Palace... Who still remembers the person banished to Changle?

I gaze upon the lush greenery and the splendid banners, and try to sweep the fallen blossoms from the Golden House. Before long, a palace maid brings word: His Majesty is visiting Princess Pingyang's home.

She is Princess Yangxin, and also... Princess Pingyang!

Yi Ya will bring everyone a different kind of Princess Pingyang! This and the next novel, which I'll write after finishing this one, about A Jiao, will be part of the same series. Yi Ya wants to write about two very different women of the Han Dynasty, much like Zige and Yan Zinuo. Different pursuits inevitably lead to different paths. I hope you enjoy it! If you do, please support Yi Ya!

Friendship links!
