Latest Ancient China Novel

Months ago, the newly appointed prefect of Yangzhou indulged his brother-in-law in bullying men and seizing women, suppressing local wealthy merchants. As a prominent magnate family, Gu Yanling's household was the first to be devoured.

Not only that, when his father called, he was humiliated in every possible way. Gu Yanling, who had always been accustomed to having his way in Yangzhou, had never suffered such grievances before. It was simply too much!

He was troubled by his inability to deal with them until he discovered that the prefect was fawning over a handsome, aloof, and remarkably distinguished man, treating him with extreme deference. Guessed that this person must be a highly influential figure from the capital.

Damn it! He should have passed the imperial examination, joined the cabinet, and become a prime minister to behead such a deceitful, sycophantic, and fickle official! Then he recalled his tutor's comment that his essays were utterly unreadable.

Gu Yanling: ... Haha, joining the cabinet is ten thousand times harder than sleeping with a man and getting him to use pillow talk to have that dog official beheaded. Hmm?! Pillow talk?

The next day, Gu Yanling disguised himself with an extremely ordinary face and sneaked into the man's mansion as a servant. Even if he couldn't use pillow talk, he would be the most favored servant! Day after day, he'd act cute and clever, calling out "Young Master, long, Young Master, short," using every trick in the book to entice the man.

Hu Jiawei, as the Yangzhou prefect's brother-in-law, was accustomed to everyone catering to him. Yet, in a restaurant, a plain-looking young man splashed wine on his clothes. Before he could react, the young man put his hands on his hips, raised his eyebrows, and loudly demanded, "You blind, heartless wretch, how dare you spill your grandpa's wine!" He then turned and fled.

Hu Jiawei led his thugs in pursuit, shouting, "If I don't strip your skin today, you won't know who's in charge in Yangzhou!" As soon as he spoke, he saw the influential figure, whom his brother-in-law bowed and scraped to, standing there.

The young man then tearfully exaggerated, "Young Master, save me! He just shouted at me and threatened to flay me for merely spilling a bit of wine on him!" Hu Jiawei: ...???

That high and mighty figure, who never gave his brother-in-law a proper glance, actually listened to this. His icy, piercing gaze fixed on Hu Jiawei, instantly making his knees buckle and his clothes drenched in sweat. Petitions detailing the prefect's crimes flew like snowflakes before the influential figure.

Soon, the prefect was dismissed and investigated, and his wicked brother-in-law was also thrown into jail. The people of Yangzhou cheered unanimously. Gu Yanling was about to retire successfully, never expecting the man to want to marry him.

Gu Yanling: ??? No, no need! We just slept a few times, you really don't need to be too responsible! Fearing he'd expose the truth, Gu Yanling fled Yangzhou city overnight.

Four months later, he looked down at his slightly bulging belly. Gu Yanling: ? After taking his pulse. ??? He's pregnant! He's a man! How can he be pregnant?!

Xiao Xinghan, the Crown Prince of the current dynasty, had always been restrained, polite, and ascetic. While recuperating in Yangzhou, he was constantly harassed and seduced by an ignorant servant.

At first, he coldly let it happen, curious to see where such an ordinary person got such confidence. Under the other's calculated and cunning charm beneath a docile exterior, day after day, he found himself falling for him, unable to control himself. He accepted his fate.

He only wanted to bring the person back to the capital and seek his imperial father's decree to grant him the title of Crown Prince Consort, even if he had to override all objections. However, the person who had been intimately with him just the night before was gone the next day.

He searched all over Yangzhou, but the person had vanished as if into thin air. Until he saw, in the capital, a stunningly beautiful face, calling friends and riding past on horseback, her eyes and demeanor, every frown and smile, strikingly similar to the person he had long sought.

Gu Yanling's father had a large business and moved the whole family to the capital, living a life of leisure. Who would have thought that the man he had provoked back then was actually the current Crown Prince! And they just so happened to meet on the street, and he was forcefully taken before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Gu Yanling tried to remain composed. The Crown Prince's gaze carried scrutiny: "You... you resemble my deceased wife." Gu Yanling looked utterly innocent: "Your Royal Highness, you must be joking. Who in the capital doesn't know that you are not yet married, and the position of Crown Princess is still vacant?"

The other's dangerous voice rang out: "Speaking like that, you resemble her even more." Gu Yanling: ... Wuwu, it's over, it's over. He wouldn't dare admit that he was the one who deceived and played with the Crown Prince back then, and then left him. He certainly couldn't let the Crown Prince know that he had also given birth to a little imperial prince!!

This is a fictional setting, and features an older male lead (nian shang), 1v1, with only each other, and a sweet story.

In her previous life, Chu Jiuning married into the Duke of Song's Estate with tens of millions in family assets. Just as the wedding ceremony was about to begin, the Duke of Song's heir suddenly changed his mind.

He led in a woman holding a child, declaring that he wanted to marry both his wife and concubine at once, and have the child adopted under Chu Jiuning's name. As the main wife, she would have to manage household affairs, oversee the estate's finances, and raise her stepson. Not only would she be a living widow, but she would also have to hand over her enormous family fortune to an ungrateful step-wolf.

Upon rebirth, her first act was to toss the white-faced, ungrateful heir of Song out of the bridal chamber. Later, the fallen Duke's Estate begged for forgiveness, pleaded for reconciliation, and desperately sought to use her dowry to revive their family.

Chu Jiuning sneered, "Sorry, I'm busy." Just as she was about to pack her bags and live a carefree life, her partner, the Crown Prince, came looking for her, stopping her to say, "I helped you, now you must help me too."

Chu Jiuning thought there was no harm in helping before she left, so she readily agreed. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince then said, "The position of Crown Princess is vacant, and those old fogies are complaining every day. Please take a seat!"

Zhao Lin transmigrated to the Great Qi Dynasty, a period never before seen in history, becoming the long-lost true young master of the Zhenbei Marquis's family.

Although his predecessor was the legitimate young master, the family showered the fake young master with care, detested and mistreated him, and the fake young master framed him, ultimately leading to his untimely demise.

When Zhao Lin arrived, he resolutely severed ties with the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

However, unexpectedly, they collectively regretted their actions and tearfully begged him to return home.

But is belated affection as worthless as grass? Is Zhao Lin worthless?

Of course not!

She transmigrated into a novel as the Dragon King protagonist's early-deceased fiancee. This story features transmigration, a black-bellied male lead, a cannon fodder female supporting character, mutual purity in love, and sweet romance. The male lead is beautiful, strong, and tragic, while the female lead is a group favorite and charming.

When Jiang Shi was born, his mother died in childbirth and his father died on the battlefield. His uncles coveted the Marquis's title and family property. On the surface, they showed extreme concern for him, but in reality, they hid daggers in their smiles. He was poisoned every few days while still in his swaddling clothes, making his survival a true miracle.

Just when he finally grew into a young man, his cousin Yu Tanqi, who was betrothed to him since childhood, suddenly died. From then on, Jiang Shi's reputation as a "cursed solitary star" began to circulate.

However, Yu Tanqi, who transmigrated into Jiang Shi's early-deceased fiancee, knew that he was the Dragon King protagonist of a male-oriented novel. Despite a difficult start, he would rise steadily and become someone everyone looked up to.

Yet, before she could cling to the male lead's thigh, she first had to save herself and figure out who wanted to murder a young girl who had just come of age. The book clearly stated that the original owner died from a sudden illness, but as soon as she arrived, she was being held down by the neck and forced into the water?

Yu Tanqi shivered and decided to pack her bags and head to the capital to seek refuge with her fiancé. Jiang Shi was indeed as described in the book—a gentle and refined gentleman, warm, considerate, yet self-disciplined and礼-abiding.

Although he was currently pure and devoted, without any women, Yu Tanqi knew that his future confidantes would only increase. Therefore, she wanted to give up her position as his fiancée and become non-blood-related cousins with him.

However, when she voiced her thoughts, the usually gentle and smiling young man pinched her chin, his gaze intensely aggressive as he stared at her. "I have no preference for raising a younger sister, Yu Tanqi. You can only be my wife."

Shui Luolan is forced to marry the good-for-nothing prince right from the start!

Can the prince not take care of himself? No worries, Luolan will take care of his every need.

Is the prince paralyzed in bed? No worries, Luolan transmigrated with a surgery room and can treat him.

The moment the good-for-nothing prince's face recovered its appearance, Luolan was completely captivated by his peerless, handsome, and cold face. From then on, she began a shameless life of daily kissing, touching, and hugging her beloved husband.

The scene shifts: The moment the man stood up, he immediately pressed her onto the bed. As their lips met, he whispered softly in her ear, "Little girl, you've been teasing this prince for half a year. It's time for this prince to pamper you."

Looking at his flawless face that she could never tire of, Luolan slightly closed her eyes, quietly awaiting that thrilling moment...

Intelligent and Protective Young Lady VS Gentle and Reserved Young Master.

Miss Hua Fushu, the eldest daughter of the Hua family, has a fiancé who is the legitimate son of the Grand General's mansion. It is rumored that her fiancé is as handsome as jade, like an immortal descended to earth, immensely talented, and a stunning young man.

However, Miss Hua was not interested in her fiancé. She only wanted to roam the Jianghu (martial world). So, she went to her fiancé to break off the engagement. When she finally met the rumored fiancé, she regretted everything. How could such a rare and beautiful young man not be hers? It would be a cruel waste of a treasure...

A certain snippet:

Young General Ye said: "Stop being so shameless, this general simply doesn't like you!"

Hua Fushu grabbed the young man's clothes and planted a fragrant kiss on him: "I don't believe it! Your mouth says you don't like it, but your body is very honest..."

Flirting and falling in love are good, but pursuing a career is even better.

The treacherous Prince wants to usurp the throne and kill the Emperor? Kill him.

The Emperor wants to enthrone Prince Qin? "Then I, Ye Zelin, shall be the greatest meritorious minister..."

Hua Fushu says: "Let's do great things, count me in!"

Gu Zhizhuo was reborn. It wasn't until after her death that she realized she was the supporting female character in an old novel, and the female lead was her cousin, Ji Nankao.

The book stated that Ji Nankao was a fated blessed woman. She brought fortune to the Third Prince, Xie Jing, helped him ascend to the throne, and with her luck, brought prosperity to the world, ushering in a glorious Great Qi era.

And Gu Zhizhuo was the Third Prince's "former" fiancée. She was the catalyst for their early disputes, the obstacle to their mid-term affection, and the stepping stone to their later glory. Moreover, after they fell in love and committed to each other, in order for Ji Nankao to ascend to a high position, Gu Zhizhuo's entire family paid the price of utter annihilation.

Gu Zhizhuo: ???

Good news: She was reborn. Bad news: As soon as she opened her eyes, the imperial physician was applying a box of poison to her face. Next, her face would be completely disfigured, and the Gu family would be accused of treason and suffer for it. Her "fiancé" Xie Jing, to curry favor with his new love, would publicly unveil her, mock and jeer at her festering face.

Gu Zhizhuo: "Your Highness, I've calculated with my fingers, and you're going to suffer a bloody disaster, oh~"

In her previous life, Gu Zhizhuo barely survived after being exiled. It wasn't until she met Xie Yingchen, who was also living on borrowed time, that she finally found a moment to breathe.

Xie Yingchen taught her and raised her, paving a smooth path for her future. Then, carrying half a lifetime of hatred and a body riddled with illness, he passed away.

Now everything has been reset, and Xie Yingchen is not yetterminally ill. Gu Zhizhuo must find him and cure him.

Many years later, Xie Yingchen asked her, "Why were you so good to me the first time we met?" Gu Zhizhuo's voice was light, as if speaking to herself: "Because the first time you met me, you were also so good to me."

Xie Yingchen didn't know that the young girl before him came from over a decade in the future, suffering from an incurable longing for him. Her destiny is to control her own fate.

Fortunate enough to transmigrate, and born into a landlord's family, I will never lack food or clothing in this life, yet I don't want to just drift along. So, Fu Xiaoguan casually did a few things, never expecting the impact to be so immense.

The emperor wants to grant him a first-rank official position, the princess wants to marry him, the Minister's daughter insists on marrying no one but him. Barbarians want his head, the Yi Kingdom wants his life, and the Fan Kingdom wants his money...

But Fu Xiaoguan just wants to be a great landlord!

After orphan Xu Qinyu won the title of world-class culinary goddess, she met with an accident and woke up as the second daughter of the Dechang Marquisate, who was marrying in place of her cousin.

This second daughter's situation was tragic; she was the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Dechang Marquisate, but her father had an elder brother above him and younger siblings below him. Her father was the least favored of all.

Due to this, the empress's decree somehow changed the fiancée of the rebellious Prince Shu, who was implicated in the rebellion and exiled, from her cousin Xu Qinhui to her.

Even in the southwestern frontier, Xu Qinyu wasn't afraid. With the eight major cuisines, thousands of snacks, milk tea, ice cream, hotpot, and barbecue, she was ready to introduce them!

Relying on her skills, she earned silver, bought land, and aimed to become an ancient landlady.

Her nominal husband was often nowhere to be seen, disappearing for several months or even half a year, but it didn't matter. She didn't care; she had money, leisure, and no man hounding her. Her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and little niece were all on her side. Living in the grand mansion she earned, life was delightful.

Until a snowy day several years later, hundreds of black-armored guards surrounded her family's five-courtyard luxurious mansion. "We respectfully invite the Empress, the Empress Dowager, the Princess, the Prince, and the County Princess back to the capital."

Xu Qinyu and her in-laws exchanged wide-eyed glances, "(⊙o⊙)" Her nominal husband had actually seized the imperial throne!

So, to continue being a landlady or an empress—that was the question. ...... After Xu Qinhui was reborn, knowing that her cousin Xu Qinyu had married on her behalf, her intestines twisted with regret.

In her previous life, she had painstakingly hooked up with the new emperor, enticing him to issue a decree for her cousin to marry the exiled Prince Shu in her stead. Who knew that Prince Shu was a ruthless character who successfully seized the throne after enduring for ten years.

But it didn't matter. She knew her cousin was frail and would die soon on the road to exile. Once her cousin was dead, she could go to the frontier city to marry Prince Shu.

She waited and waited, until Prince Shu ascended to the throne sooner than expected, and her cousin was still alive and well, even extremely wealthy. And the Emperor actually invited her back to be Empress?!?!

PS: The dishes mentioned in the text refer to some information on Baidu.

Just before her family was confiscated and exiled, Shen Yunyue emptied her own storeroom and, while she was at it, also emptied the太子(crown prince's) mansion's storeroom.

This wasn't enough; the imperial palace's storeroom was beckoning! How could she possibly leave it behind?

She walked boldly during the exile journey, and upon reaching the destination, she started planting cotton and building a business. Accidentally, she became the richest woman, a divine doctor, and more in Da Zhou, with too many identities to hide.

Why is that cold-faced husband, who was given to her by imperial decree, becoming increasingly clingy?

Warning: This is a more slice-of-life story; those who dislike such should proceed with caution.
