Latest Historical Romance Novel

Synopsis: Completed! Please pre-collect my next novel, thank you! Because his father, the King, was impeached by the censor for having once abducted a beautiful wife and taking her for his own, despite criticizing his father for being unmatched in the world yet foolishly swayed by beauty, Prince Jiang Hui had to travel far to the wealthy city of Jiangnan to handle the aftermath.

It was said that the woman had left behind a daughter back then. Whether to kill or to keep her, he had his own ideas.

Upon entering the city, he heard of the woman's reputation, knowing she had lost her husband young, and now managed the household with dignity and benevolence, earning much praise in the city. The Prince remained noncommittal.

When the grand mansion gates opened, he caught sight of the gentle woman about to leave. The Prince's ideas changed.

Later, upon learning that his "sister's" deceased husband was not dead and had returned triumphantly from the battlefield, the Prince's ideas changed again. He could no longer tolerate it.

After years of stability, Yan Siqing had always been cautious and intelligent, yet she could not contend with powerful authority. She could only adapt, doing her best to protect her husband's family and young daughter. Even when faced with the overwhelming and complex royal kin of the Prince's residence, she managed to handle things appropriately, but she was always reluctant to be alone with that Prince.

His eyes were like those of a wolf or a tiger.

PS: The dignified and restrained, absolutely top-intellect deceased husband (who 'returned from the dead') and a wealthy married woman VS a beautiful but proud and fierce Prince, absolutely top-strength, who also hits himself hard in the face.

Summary: Small plot units swiftly resolving cases and involving morally ambiguous romantic entanglements. It's about two brave and ruthless royal father and son, originally vying for power and profit, who become completely infatuated with two charming mother and daughter (not blood-related) and fiercely defeat countless suitors.

Disclaimers below:

First: There is a male lead.

Second: The sense of power oppression is heavy, but the female leads turn the tables, making optimal choices for power, wealth, and their own needs, not a traditional weak ancient romance.

Third: The two mother and daughter are true succubi; the mother is pure charm and allure, the daughter is a truly intelligent, dignified, and top-tier married woman.

Fourth: The female lead is genuinely a married woman and has a daughter with her ex-husband (the daughter is very cute). The male lead struggles between acting as a "biological brother" or a "cousin," playing a tormented Sherlock Holmes and a "Gentleman Liu Xiahui."

Fifth: The ex-husband genuinely fakes his death and returns for a 'crematorium' scenario; the female lead will later have a legitimate new fiancé. The male lead and ex-husband fight to the death scandalously and chaotically.

Sixth: This is an "XP" novel; the content is occasionally a bit improper. Both men and women have personal desires and selfish motives, weighing pros and cons.

Seventh: Power ultimately succumbs to human desires and private emotions; emperors bow their heads in pursuit of love; the empire is beneath their feet, their beloved by their side.

Eighth: The author is not serious.

Content tags: Strong vs. Strong, Sweet Text, Suspense Mystery. Characters: Yan Siqing, Jiang Hui. Other: Forced love, pseudo-incest, noble households, and cases. One-sentence summary: Human hearts are unpredictable, but deep affection is hard to endure. Message: Women should strive for self-reliance.

In her previous life, Wen Xingluo poured her heart and soul into planning a future for her father and brothers, finally ushering in the day of her family's prominence.

However, her older sister, who suddenly returned home, snatched away her father and brothers' affection and her engagement to the Crown Prince.

It wasn't until her death that Wen Xingluo realized her father and brothers had always detested her for being cunning and calculating, loving only her pure and delicate older sister.

When she opened her eyes again, Wen Xingluo was back in the year her parents divorced.

In this life, her sister suddenly changed her mind, wanting to follow their father, even proclaiming that she would become the Crown Princess in the future.

Wen Xingluo decisively abandoned her father and brothers, following her remarried mother into the Prince's Estate.

Unexpectedly, the Prince's step-brothers, who had disdained her sister in the previous life, pampered her like a precious treasure. Meanwhile, her former father and brothers, who had loathed her to the bone, watched her call others father and brothers, and scheme for others, their eyes turning red as they humbly begged her to return home.

Her step-brothers blocked them all outside, saying, "Luoluo is our sister!"

That noble and aloof Prince's heir even protectively held her in his arms, declaring, "She is mine, and only mine."

Trigger Warning: Not 1V1 (purity not guaranteed for FL), multiple male leads, all male leads are pure.

Su Yaoyao transmigrated, becoming the beautiful, useless, love-struck eldest princess of the Great Xia Nation, ignorant and unskilled.

To think, for a man who would rather marry a lowly woman than accept her, she nearly took her own life?

Su Yaoyao declared, with money, beauty, and a doting younger imperial brother, what kind of man couldn't she have? Why hang herself on a crooked tree?

Su Yaoyao flirted with all the officials in the court: the iron-willed general, the learned grand academician, the cold-blooded and ruthless Dali Temple Shaoqing, the invisible killer from the dark guard, and more.

The Princess's residence instantly transformed into an Asura field, descending into chaos.

Until one day, Su Yaoyao led the new top scholar into the inner chambers of the princess's residence.

Looking at the men vying for her affection, Su Yaoyao helplessly said, "He's here to join us, not to break us apart. You're all always my most beloved men... OK?"

The men of the princess, who had no official titles: ...

Who will ultimately be the princess's last man?

Jiusu won three million in the lottery, then overworked herself to death that very night. She transmigrated to ancient times, where her brother and sister-in-law wanted to sell her as a concubine. She bound with the God of Wealth system to turn danger into safety.

But what was with this system? It was so generous! The novice welfare for worshipping the God of Wealth actually gave her a whole courtyard!

The tasks were numerous and heavy, and her prosperity attracted the envy of her in-laws. An exiled official, miserable and pitiful, was cheap and capable. She hired him as a helper, and he grew into a powerful minister who would assist the emperor's reign in the future!

Her husband, who was taken away to serve as a strong laborer shortly after their marriage, actually achieved great merit and became a young general. He returned to the village to pick up his mother, with the villagers singing and dancing in celebration.

Just as Jiusu was wondering how to handle this relationship, an elegant woman walked up, claiming to be her husband's lover. Chen Zhao declared, "Jiusu, your status is lowly, just be a concubine!" Jiusu replied, "Divorce!"

After the divorce, suitors frequently appeared, but Jiusu didn't want to talk about love; she just wanted to earn silver. [Host, congratulations on becoming the richest person in Xu State! Do you wish to continue binding with the system and keep earning silver!] Jiusu replied, "Of course! I want to be the richest person in other countries too."

Reborn, she doesn't want her short-sighted fiancé anymore!

Su Tangyu turned around and seduced Xiao Jin, the regent who held absolute power and was cold-blooded and brutal!

She cried a bit! She acted a bit! Xiao Jin supported her in getting revenge!

Did her scumbag father embezzle her dowry? Even if the Minister's mansion had to be torn down and dug up, it had to be returned to her! Did her stepmother beg for mercy on her knees? Too late, they all had to die!

When her fiancé's guts turned green with regret, he divorced her sister and wanted to marry her as the Marchioness's principal wife?

Su Tangyu disdained him! After her revenge was complete, she turned to run...

Xiao Jin had an unknown secret: his desires were very strong! Su Tangyu was his only antidote, and he was willing to be used by her for revenge... but he never expected Su Tangyu to run away with his child!

"Little Yu'er, don't even think about escaping!"

Xiao Jin was furious, he would catch her back! Lock her in a dark room to obediently give birth to babies!

...Later, Xiao Jin knelt down, "My love, don't run! We've already had two children, what do you want? I'll even give you my life!"

"Okay!"

Emotional Version: Alice Bennet, the third daughter of the Bennet family of gentry in England, rapidly became famous after moving from the countryside of Longbourn to the metropolis of London. Everyone thought she was a true English lady, but unfortunately, beneath the facade was a jade hare spirit from the East.

Adrian Moran, the second son of the former Earl of Camden, obtained a teaching position with the help of his family, becoming a clergyman in London. However, as famous as his beauty in aristocratic circles was his sharp tongue.

When an unrestrained Eastern妖精 meets a stoic Western clergyman... Alice: "Mr. Adrian, you're a beautiful, fragrant little biscuit, let me have a bite." The most stubborn-mouthed gentleman said, "Miss Alice, no!" Progress bar for pushing him down: Completed!

Career Version: As a medicine-pounding jade hare, she took advantage of a heavenly realm exchange experience to reincarnate into the Bennet family in Longbourn, Western world, becoming Alice Bennet. With two older sisters and three younger sisters, she was destined to receive no inheritance.

To avoid ending up on the streets, she wielded her jade pestle and headed to London to resume her old profession. Mrs. Bennet: "Selling medicine? No, Alice, you are a gentleman's daughter, pity my delicate nerves!"

Delicate nerves? She has medicine! Alice smeared invigorating paste on Mrs. Bennet's face... "Have you heard about that Eastern pharmacy in London? The owner is actually a young gentleman's daughter."

"Who doesn't know now? It's so unfashionable not to! That's the magical pharmacy leading the new trend in Europe!"

Notes: The female lead is not a virgin, the male lead is. The overall plot line and emotional line content ratio is roughly 3:7; more plot in the early stages, more emotional lines after a dozen chapters. The female lead is semi-original, based on the original work.

She doesn't "collect" Darcy, doesn't break up official couples, and Wickham is unworthy. The story's background mainly references the Georgian era (George III) from the original "Pride and Prejudice"; it's fictional with private settings, so please do not scrutinize historical accuracy.

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.

Song Qianzhao transmigrated into the home of a powerful noble family, recognized as their adopted grandson. She thought she could live a comfortable life as a slacker.

Who knew her biological father was a professional scammer? Not only did he spend his days carousing, but he also handed compromising evidence to political enemies.

Seeing that her grandfather's reputation was about to be ruined, and he was so angry he wanted to send them back to the countryside to farm, she could only sigh.

"This cheap father is beyond hope. If I want to keep this immense wealth, I'll have to rely on myself!"

Thus, she disguised herself as a man and mingled in the imperial court. She originally wanted to secure a good future, but accidentally captured the Crown Prince's heart.

【Brother Takes Younger Brother's Wife + Deliberate Seduction】

(Black-bellied Vicious Woman vs. Ascetic & Cold Young Grand Tutor)

In her previous life, Pei Jingxu faithfully observed three years of widowhood for her husband, Rong Xuanzhou, who was presumed dead in battle. However, she waited only for him to return to the capital with Bai Shutong, the widow of his comrade, and their two children.

Rong family parents remained silent, only urging her to be virtuous and magnanimous. Bai Shutong possessed peerless beauty, and soon after arriving in the capital, she caused powerful nobles to vie for her favor. Even Rong Xuanzhou was captivated, showing her gentle care and protection.

Ultimately, Pei Jingxu was drowned in a lotus pond by an admirer of Bai Shutong, as a token of allegiance. Only at the brink of death did she realize she was living in a storybook featuring a 'magnet for everyone's love,' and she was merely a stumbling block on the path to the heroine Bai Shutong's glorious reign in the capital.

Reborn into this life, Pei Jingxu, as the vicious female supporting character, realized she needed to find a powerful backer before the heroine returned to the capital. Thus, her thoughts turned to the peerlessly elegant, ethereal and upright eldest son of the Rong family, the current Grand Tutor — Rong Jianxue.

That night, Pei Jingxu, with crimson-tinged eyes and thinly clad, soaking wet clothes, wept like a pear blossom bathed in rain as she knocked on his door. "Brother-in-law, Second Brother isn't here, A'Xu is really scared..." Rong Jianxue's gaze was cold and deep, and the Buddhist beads concealed in his sleeve tightened one by one.

—

After Rong Xuanzhou returned to the capital, he discovered that his 'plain and simple' wife no longer clung to him, but instead frequently entered and exited his elder brother's residence. Having always known his elder brother to be stern, Rong Xuanzhou coldly told her, "If you soften your stance, I'll ask Big Brother not to punish you."

Behind the screen, Rong Jianxue pulled her half-exposed jade arm back. The man's gaze was murky, and he answered for her in a hoarse voice, "She deserves punishment."

—

Later, Pei Jingxu ran away. Outside the city, private soldiers lined up, and the man approached her step by step, his eyes filled with overwhelming desire. "A'Xu is right, we should have a child now."

Reminder for the plot: The male lead and the male supporting character are not blood brothers.
