Latest Ancient China Novel

【Dual male lead, main POV is gong, 1v1, pure love】The former emperor was infatuated with beauty and terribly incompetent, with military funds for the border disappearing for months. In a fit of anger, General Nie Yao's son, Nie Yao, disarmed and returned to the capital.

He got rid of the avaricious Minister of Revenue and took over that position himself. A new emperor brings new courtiers. When the former emperor fell ill and died, the decisive Ninth Prince ascended the throne.

The Nie family held military power and controlled tax revenue, making them seem like a thorn in the new emperor's side. Nie Yao himself thought so too, preparing early to fall out with the new emperor.

However, on the new emperor's first day in power, he summoned Nie Yao to the palace to assist him in changing his clothes. The second day was foot washing. The third day, bathing. The fourth day...

This couldn't go on! Nie Yao, realizing his folly, packed his bags overnight, attempting to flee to the border. But as soon as he left the city gate, his path was blocked.

The new emperor rode Nie Yao's beloved steed, looking down at him imperiously, then dismounted and grabbed the young general's ear. "Abandoning your husband and child?"

"Young General, you truly have great skill!" Nie Yao, yelled at, looked bewildered, only habitually kneeling by the emperor's feet. After understanding the meaning of those words, Nie Yao: !!!

He still had to go to the border, but not to escape; rather, to expand the territory for his husband and child, and unify the world!

A transmigrated female lead who only wants to lie flat and live a reclusive life, versus a crazy, battle-hardened god of war who insists she reign over the mountains and rivers.

Xu Xianyue, a national intangible cultural heritage inheritor of "velvet flowers" from modern times, transmigrated to become the daughter of a minor official in ancient times. True to her name, her lifelong wish was to "steal half a day of leisure," spending her days in quiet joy with a cup of clear tea and a few silk threads.

Facing internal family strife, she remained indifferent; confronting the powerful, she was neither subservient nor arrogant. Her only desire was to save enough money, travel south to Jiangnan, open a craft shop, and live out her life peacefully.

However, a sudden imperial decree of marriage shattered her tranquil dream. She was forced to marry the Jing King, Xie Wuqi, a man renowned for his military achievements but afflicted by a strange poison and possessing a violent temperament.

The entire capital waited to see how this woman from a small family would perish in the Yama-like Jing King's residence. Yet, Xu Xianyue remained uncharacteristically calm. She neither contended nor vied, simply setting up a small workshop in a secluded corner of the palace to continue her velvet flower craftsmanship.

No one knew that the exquisite ornaments crafted by her nimble fingers were a token that could mobilize "Spring Wind Crossing," the most mysterious intelligence organization in the world. The dying person she casually rescued later became a new nobility who would stir up the court.

The velvet flowers she wove for Xie Wuqi to "soothe his nerves" accidentally suppressed the violent poison in his body. When Xie Wuqi pinched her delicate chin, his eyes bloodshot, and demanded, "Who exactly are you?"

Xu Xianyue raised her gaze, her eyes as calm as moonlight: "Your Highness, I am merely a craftswoman who wishes to have no involvement with you." Later, on the night of a palace coup, 100,000 ironclad cavalry besieged the city.

Everyone thought victory was assured, but Xie Wuqi slowly raised his head before the vast army, looking at the seemingly indifferent woman beside him, and laughed wildly and arrogantly: "My consort, this world... do you want it?"

"If you want it, I will seize it for you." Xu Xianyue looked at him, only gently sighing: "Xie Wuqi, I'd rather ask about the poison in your body and if I can return to my hometown."

Qin Xue, a second-generation merchant, lost her mother at a young age. Her doting but clueless father spoiled her into an ignorant, untalented, and gluttonous good-for-nothing.

One day, the good-for-nothing suddenly stopped attending social gatherings, and all sorts of rumors about the Qin family and her swirled. Some said the Qin family had fallen and her father was using her for profit; others said her father could no longer shield her and was actively looking for a match for her.

Soon, news spread that the Qin family intended to marry their daughter to the manager of a dessert shop. The world scoffed: "The Qin family is indeed finished."

Later, the sitting Imperial Tutor and the First Female Official of the court, Ye Qinghan, personally arranged the marriage between her youngest son and Qin Xue. Only then did the world realize: The Qin family hadn't fallen at all; they had clearly climbed high by associating with the court's First Female Official. The good-for-nothing wasn't marrying a mere dessert shop manager; she was marrying the son of the Imperial Tutor, renowned for his genius.

At this moment, the world discovered that, unbeknownst to them, the "good-for-nothing" they spoke of had long since counterattacked and reached the pinnacle of her life!

Liu Zhiyan, a second-generation official, had a father who was the Grand Secretary, a mother who was the Imperial Tutor, an uncle who was a high-ranking regional official, and an uncle who was the chief engineer of the shipbuilding bureau... his entire family consisted of prominent figures from various fields.

Logically, someone of such a background, even if they were a fool, would have many girls eager to marry them. Yet, he remained single at the age of 25.

One day, the chronically single man was finally getting married, a joyous occasion indeed. When word got out that the woman was from an ordinary merchant family and was known as a "good-for-nothing," everyone said, "What a pity."

Years later, when Madam Ye personally entrusted important diplomatic responsibilities to the "good-for-nothing" they once scorned, the world finally understood: This was no good-for-nothing; this was clearly a brilliant diplomatic genius.

Mini-theater:

1. Liu Zhiyan had an unknown癖好: he liked to poke balloons to relieve stress. No one knew how hard he endured each time he saw Qin Xue's puffed-up cheeks, struggling to control his hand from poking those balloon-like cheeks.

After marriage, Qin Xue learned of this habit and angrily asked him, "Did you marry me just to poke my cheeks to relieve stress?"

"Of course not." As he spoke, he didn't miss a beat in reaching out to poke his wife's cheek, "Your face (cheeks) is too cute; it makes me involuntarily like (want to poke) you..."

Dedicated to recruiting a live-in son-in-law, a silly and adorable merchant girl VS a stoic official's son who is only passionate about the female lead.

CP: Alluring wild flower masquerading as a delicate lady x Emotionally stable, forbearing husband. Gu Yao, director of a pet hospital in her previous life, transmigrated into the body of the Gu family's娘子(young madam) with the same name in this life.

This娘子 came from a family of healers, but she was frail and intellectually impaired since childhood. Yet, she was like clear water, especially attractive to small animals.

Perhaps because of this, after Gu Yao woke up from her long dream in this body, she was found and bound by a system, which tasked her with investigating numerous cases through small animals.

Gu Yao and a small cat stared at each other. "I don't understand 'cat speak' or 'dog speak', so how can I investigate cases?" The system slowly raised a paw. "Host, don't worry! I have a book here called 'Animal Mind-Reading Handbook', which has already been bound to your body."

"Eh?" Gu Yao blinked,

Her birth mother died early, and her stepmother was unkind. Yun Wu was always cautious, only wishing to marry the Ye family's young master, to whom she was betrothed since childhood, once she came of age.

But on the day of her wedding, her stepsister usurped her engagement, marrying into the Ye family gloriously as the young madam. Meanwhile, her stepmother substituted her to be married to the Duke's illegitimate son, for 'शुभ' (chai) or '喜' (xi), which normally means '沖喜' (chongxi - to ward off evil and bring good luck/health).

It was said that the Duke's illegitimate son was born sickly, beyond medical cure, and was on his deathbed, liable to breathe his last at any moment. Yun Wu cried by his sickbed, but there was nothing she could do.

She diligently cared for her sickly husband, only hoping that one day when her husband passed away, the Duke's mansion would remember their old affection and take her in, providing her with a place to live. However, as she continued to care for him...

Why did my husband not only not die, but his health also gradually improve??

The former Crown Prince was framed and implicated, failed in a palace coup, and committed suicide. The Crown Princess, at great risk, gave birth to his posthumous child and secretly sent the infant out of the palace through a trusted confidant, arranging for him to be raised elsewhere.

In his previous life, Xie Yi painstakingly plotted and strove to reclaim everything that belonged to him, to clear his father's name, but he died the day before he fully grasped power.

All the past events were like fleeting clouds; restarting his life, he no longer wished to contend. However, a young lady, who married him under the pretext of '沖喜' (chongxi), appeared by his side.

The young lady was frail yet adorable, caring and meticulous towards him. Her soft cries were gentle, and when she was bullied, she would only silently shed large tears.

Xie Yi: ...

Xie Yi threw back the covers. Fine, it's not a big deal to fight for it one more time. This is a story of love after marriage, a simple everyday romance. It's set in a fictional historical world, so please don't overanalyze historical accuracy.

On the first day of her transmigration, Song Jinnyi had to face her stepmother's treacherous marriage scheme. To survive, she immediately caused chaos in the Song Manor the next day, experiencing a rapid escape from marriage.

For her livelihood, Song Jinnyi had no choice but to start from scratch and save money to support herself.

The first step to getting rich: In the saturated tea house industry, she conquered the taste buds of the powerful and distinguished with her unique milk tea recipe, standing out among many established tea houses and securing her own place.

The second step to getting rich: In the declining snack industry, she rotated her offerings daily for 365 days, establishing an unbeatable position. Her reputation spread from Yunzhou to Shengjing, with esteemed patrons traveling thousands of miles specifically to taste her cuisine.

The Nth step to getting rich: Faced with the increasingly demanding tastes of the officials and nobles, who were no longer satisfied with ordinary dishes and varieties, she turned to open a farmhouse inn, offering DIY handmade milk tea, which became a fashionable trend.

Some time later, not only was her business booming, but even the people around her seemed to have changed?

The original owner's cheap biological father,幡然悔悟 (regretted profoundly), tearfully confessed his mistakes to her. Onlookers who had previously mocked her changed their tune, praising her, saying, "Who says women are inferior to men? Heroines can also surpass heroes."

Old merchants who had always been at odds with her started calling for partnerships and wanted to franchise her businesses.

Little theater:

The northern border fell, and the Northern Rong army pressed down overnight, devastating the nine northern counties. Song Jinnyi, who was there to purchase goods, decisively abandoned her cargo and headed back, but still encountered a Northern Rong army unit halfway. The leader rode a fiery red steed, magnificent and spirited, with a pair of jade-like green eyes that were now deep and dark, staring intently at Song Jinnyi.

The man used his riding crop to lift Song Jinnyi's chin, slowly saying, "Sister, long time no see." It was none other than the male lead she had abandoned back then!

Reading guide: 1v1, both pure.

In her previous life, Lu Qiaoxiao was the esteemed eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate. Yet, on the day she married into the Pei family, her husband married two women at once, confiscating her dowry, subjecting her to endless bullying and abuse. She ultimately met a tragic end, drowned in a pond and discarded in a mass grave.

She had thought her life would end filled with regret, but unexpectedly, someone erected a tombstone for her and avenged her death.

Reborn to the day before her wedding, Lu Qiaoxiao vowed not to suffer the same humiliating fate as her previous life. From breaking off the engagement to slapping the渣男 (scummy man), she settled accounts with them one by one.

Unbeknownst to her, in a place no one knew, the powerful minister Shen Yuheng, rumored to be ruthless, sinister, and taciturn, held a brush in his trembling hand, his breathing heavy.

Soon after, Shen Yuheng's betrothal gifts arrived at the Yong'an Marquisate, declaring his intention to formally marry Lu Qiaoxiao, the eldest daughter of the Marquisate, as his official wife. Lu Qiaoxiao wondered if Prime Minister Shen had some ailment and was desperate to find a woman to be the mistress of his household to silence gossip.

On their wedding night, candlelight flickered as a palm extinguished the red candles. Shen Yuheng gripped her slender waist, his voice filled with endless allure and temptation: "Qing Zhi, call me husband—"

An ice-cold, outwardly defiant, love-deprived Earl versus a soft-bodied, stubborn, intelligent noblewoman from a Marquis's estate.

Nan Xu, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yong'an, was of noble birth and exquisite beauty, the most envied woman in the capital. However, with the new emperor's ascension, the Marquis's estate lost favor, and even her childhood sweetheart, soon to be her fiancé, suddenly married a princess instead.

Though raised in the inner chambers, Nan Xu was a woman of strong will. She immediately demanded the return of her love token, severing all ties with the unfaithful man. But before she could finish looking through the handsome bachelors compiled by her mother, an imperial decree of marriage arrived at the Marquis's residence.

The decreed groom was none other than Duan Wenpei, Earl of Weiyang, a newly ascendant figure in court who had just arrested her second brother and seized their family's iron death-exemption tablet. A cold-faced Yama King marrying a noblewoman in distress? The entire capital waited to see the spectacle.

On their wedding night, Duan Wenpei gave Nan Xu a deed of divorce, unsigned and unsealed. "If one day you can no longer tolerate this Earl's residence, you may leave on your own."

Clutching the divorce deed, Nan Xu looked at the man's chiseled profile in the candlelight, and suddenly felt that her cold-tempered husband wasn't so difficult to get along with. At least, he knew his boundaries.

Half a year later, Nan Xu produced the divorce deed, asking Duan Wenpei to uphold their agreement. Yet, Duan Wenpei began to stay in her room every other night, refusing to leave. "Divorce deed?" he leaned in, his hot breath caressing her sensitive earlobe, his fingers ambiguously stroking the contract paper, his voice low and laced with a smile, "Madam, could you be mistaken? When did this husband ever write such a thing?" His gaze was like a wolf fixated on its prey.

Everyone said that Duan Wenpei, Earl of Weiyang, was the sharpest blade in the Emperor's hand. Born in the countryside, cold and unemotional, marrying a noblewoman from a Marquis's estate was merely to satisfy the Emperor's expectations and acquire a beautiful vase.

Initially, Duan Wenpei indeed thought so. But within this 'vase' lay strong wine and sharp edges. The unintentional resilience and intelligence revealed in her eyes and brows were like hooks, silently ensnaring his cold, hard heart, pulling him deeper and deeper until he was completely lost.

That day, she stood by the door, delicately holding a letter, smiling calmly, "Please, Earl, grant me a divorce." His tall figure completely overshadowed her. He lowered his head, his nose almost touching hers, his voice imbued with ice, yet harboring fervent desire.

"You intend to leave after sleeping with me? Unless..." His hot lips brushed her cool earlobe, each word a temptation, "You kill me with an arrow, like you did that time in Tianxiang Tower."

Duan Wenpei discovered he was very prone to jealousy; whether it was people or animals, as long as a male appeared, he would forcefully embrace Nan Xu. Until her so-called childhood sweetheart plotted to abduct her. He frantically searched for her, and the night he rescued her back, the possessiveness buried deep in his heart completely spiraled out of control.

What kind of nonsense was 'considering the bigger picture'? Nothing was more worth risking than having her. Later, Nan Xu, exhausted, lay in Duan Wenpei's arms, her slender fingers tracing his damp temples, and she asked with a muffled voice, "When did you change your mind, my lord?"

He caught her mischievous hand, licked his lips, still unsatisfied, then turned his head to gently bite her earlobe. "Guess."

This novel is a HE (Happy Ending), both leads are virgins, and it's a 'marriage before love' story. The male lead had never loved a woman and suffered from a lack of love since childhood, requiring time to adapt. In the later stages of their relationship, the male lead becomes somewhat of a 'love-addict', a family trait. The female lead is relatively clear-headed.

Jiang Yuzhu transmigrated into a book, becoming Xie Zhao's early-deceased original wife. The story begins with a bang: the original owner is on her way to commit adultery, a scheme orchestrated by her own elder brother.

According to the original plot, Jiang Yuzhu would eventually contract a venereal disease from her trysts with scumbags, leading to an early death from profound depression. The entire Jiang family, who loved their daughter and sister dearly, would go mad with grief and anger, ultimately offending the new emperor and facing execution, wiping out their whole clan.

For decades thereafter, Xie Zhao would never remarry nor have any women by his side. He would assist the new emperor, reform the imperial examination system, and build water conservancy projects, eventually becoming a powerful prime minister whose name echoed through history.

Later generations, when mourning him, would sigh with emotion, marveling at Prime Minister Xie's deep affection, but lamenting his unfortunate choice of wife—Jiang Yuzhu, the treacherous minister's daughter, who committed adultery, leaving an indelible stain on his reputation.

The book's reader Jiang Yuzhu had commented: "Xie Zhao is cold and heartless; he didn't remarry because he feared trouble! After three years of marriage, he didn't even consummate it on their wedding night. He's probably impotent, right?"

Another reader replied: "Men focus on their careers and don't bother with romance. It's an undeniable fact that Jiang Yuzhu was promiscuous. I see your account name is the same as Prime Minister Xie's original wife; you're probably just as loose!"

Incensed by the personal attack, Jiang Yuzhu furiously wrote a long reply, and then, she transmigrated into the book!

The scumbag she was supposed to meet is waiting, but Jiang Yuzhu has her club ready. It's time to trap a dog in a barrel and beat it!

As for the male lead who is solely focused on his career, Jiang Yuzhu decides it's best to keep their distance. While he handles affairs of state, she'll slack off and catch chickens. Once Xie Zhao achieves success, she'll follow behind him, claim the title of a furen, and continue to lead the Jiang family in enjoying their privileges.

But then... Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her aching waist. What happened to the male lead being aloof and not interested in women?

In her previous life, Lan Zhi was betrayed by her husband and died with her child, filled with hatred!

When she opened her eyes again, her scumbag husband was eagerly looking at her, wanting to marry her.

Recalling the scene of the scumbag and his cousin getting entangled in her previous life, Lan Zhi sneered in her heart. This life, I'll send you and your cousin to hell together!

In her previous life, she was compassionate and unparalleled in medical skills. In this life, she transforms into a poison doctor, exacting revenge for every grievance!

Her three elder brothers, all exceptionally talented, become doting older brothers, escorting her. She also gives birth to two adorable little "milk dumplings".

The little ones look up at her and ask, "Mommy, who is our daddy?"

The scumbag regrets his past actions: "Lan Zhi, please give me another chance."

A certain prince follows closely behind her, saying, "My wife, you can't just want the children and not your husband!"
