CompletedImmediately after transmigrating to the Great Sheng Dynasty, Lin Zhiqing found herself embroiled in a series of life-and-death crises.
But fortunately, she possessed micro-expression psychology! She could observe people without being noticed and perceive the subtle.
"Hearts should be scrutinized, and their sins revealed."
"I discern the truth from the minute details!"
CompletedShe was originally the Princess of Nanzhao, but due to an unexpected twist of fate, she ended up living among the common folk. Eight years ago, Xiao Nan'an, the Regent of Tianqi, rescued her during a trip to Nanzhao and brought her back to his manor to be raised as a dead soldier.
With her devastating beauty, she was unfortunately relegated to being a mere servant. No one knew that she was actually the terrifying Asura Xuecha, about whom people spoke in hushed tones!
He was afflicted with the Soul-Locking Gu, and her body was his best antidote. To be born for him, to die for him, to warm his bed—this was her destiny. "My people either obey, or they die!"
He only saw her as a lowly slave. When she fell into the hands of a venomous king and nearly suffered disfigurement and defilement, he lightly remarked: "Only the fittest survive; the incompetent die!"
For the sake of imperial power, he transferred her to Crown Prince Hèlian Feng. "At all costs, kill the Crown Prince!" She accepted the order but secretly took an abortifacient.
He was furious! "Are you so eager to climb into the Crown Prince's bed?"
She faked her death and escaped back to Nanzhao. He, in a fit of rage, launched an army for his beloved.
Xiao Nan'an personally led an army of 200,000 south. The only condition for peace was for her to marry him. A year later, they met again. His eyes crimson with fury, he imprisoned her in his embrace, forcefully taking her night after night.
She hated, she resented, and she personally plunged a dagger into his body... "My person is yours, and my life, too, is yours!"
Cold and ruthless as he was, he ultimately went mad for her, giving his all, finding it sweet and willing...
Completed【Intense pursuit from the Young Master vs. soft and delicate maid, double clean + inner-house struggles】Everyone knew that the Marquis's Young Master was as pure as the moonlight and extraordinarily noble.
Unexpectedly, a lowly maid managed to climb into his bed. The Marchioness was furious, wanting to execute this vixen. Yet, the Young Master licked his lips and said, "Li Ruanruan, that name sounds good, let her stay as a concubine."
Everyone said Li Ruanruan had risen to the heavens, but they didn't know that her life became increasingly difficult. The Marquis's young lady insulted her, the head maid bullied her, and even the old wet nurses could make things hard for her... Li Ruanruan was a bit too soft.
She had no choice but to desperately cling to the Young Master's leg, slowly climbing from concubine to esteemed concubine, enticing the Young Master to stay overnight every day.
Finally, the Young Master, with his arm around her waist, announced his engagement to the Prime Minister's daughter. He said, "She is virtuous and tolerant. You don't need to be afraid; just consider her an additional mistress, and things will be as before."
Li Ruanruan nodded in agreement, her delicate body melting into a puddle. But on the day the new bride entered the household, she stole her deed of sale, took her gold and silver jewelry, and ran away without looking back.
The Young Master, who was supposed to be in the bridal chamber, went mad and spit blood, riding a thousand miles, searching everywhere in vain...
Later, in the bitter cold frontier, the Young Master knelt in the heavy snow outside her bustling eatery, leaning against the door and pleading bitterly: "My soft Ruanruan, I was wrong. It's cold in the snow; let's go inside and talk."
Completed【Pure and innocent Prince's younger brother * Bright and resilient older sister, both pure, a growth story】 The Xi family had a pair of twin sisters, one was abducted at age three and only found at age fourteen.
Qingwu was the one who was abducted. When she was brought back to the mansion, her twin sister Xi Qingtong was already famous in the capital, while she was just a country bumpkin who barely looked like a young lady after three years of etiquette lessons.
When the sisters were seventeen, their marriages were arranged: the one raised in the capital was betrothed to the Crown Prince as a concubine, and the one raised in the countryside was to be the main wife of a distant cousin, a poor scholar.
However, not long after their marriages, the Crown Prince was deposed as a commoner, moved to a dilapidated palace, and lost a leg, while the cousin became the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination, clearly on his way to a bright future.
The favored younger sister and the biased mother forced the two to swap. "You grew up in the countryside, aren't you used to hardship?" Even the cousin was very tempted and declared his feelings to Xi Qingwu with guilt, "The one I truly love is Qingtong..."
In the end, Xi Qingwu agreed. She considered it repayment for the Xi family's kindness in giving birth to her, and she also didn't want to spend her life with a cousin whose heart belonged to someone else.
She moved with the deposed Crown Prince to the dilapidated temporary palace, starting a pastoral life... Who would have thought that later, the deposed Crown Prince would regain power, and the twin sister and family would once again demand that they secretly switch back?
A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Xi Qingwu's lips. How can you switch whenever you please? Do you really think she's a pushover?
—
After Crown Prince Xiao Ji was deposed as a commoner, everyone abandoned him, even his betrothed Crown Princess canceled their engagement. Only his concubine was still willing to follow him. Even when he discovered that the concubine was not the original one, he pretended not to know.
It wasn't until he heard that the Xi family was conspiring to switch the two back that Xiao Ji could no longer sit still.

Everyone in the world knows that there is a Shamaness Temple within the imperial palace. The shamanesses within deliver heavenly decrees, perform divination, and pray for blessings. Even the Emperor respects them threefold, yet they haven't spoken a word for a long time.
The truth is that Mingyu, as a shamaness, is feared by the Emperor, with her actions restricted at every turn. On ordinary days, she is forced to appear as a historian, unexpectedly witnessing the changing of imperial power.
Under the pursuit of the new Emperor, Mingyu is forced to flee the palace in disarray.
Once rescued, she initially thought she could escape the center of power. However, she didn't realize that Young Master Yu Tong'an of the Yu family was determined to drag her into the fray.
Yu Tong'an chuckled lightly, "With the new Emperor ascended, my Yu family is also facing ruin. You and I are on the same path, so why not conspire together?"
"I am just a commoner; how can I conspire with a young master?" Mingyu rolled her eyes but grabbed Yu Tong'an's hand, turning around to stir the muddy waters even more.

CompletedIn a small sedan chair, Wen Weili entered the Residence of Prince Huai as a concubine.
What kind of woman is Miss Wen Weili from the Wen family? The aristocratic ladies in the Imperial City disdain Wen Weili, calling her "self-important" and "unconventional."
As for Prince Huai, he would only express infinite trust in Wen Weili: "Sister Wen is the best!"
Yet, Wen Weili merely smiled and said, "I'm just an elder sister who worries about her younger brother."
This is a story about a 'bad woman' protagonist and a puppy-like (fake) male lead who turns into a mad dog.

CompletedQi Qinghe, a long-uncontacted relative of the Qi family, sought refuge with them. Instead, she was used to participate in the太子 (Crown Prince)'s selection of a consort. She succeeded in being chosen, but due to her overlooked status, she endured endless hardship.
Finally, on the day she broke free from the Qi family, she escaped!
Xiao Junbai chose Qi Qinghe as his main consort only because, even when trembling, she maintained proper etiquette. Who would have thought that this was a meticulously planned deception by a little trickster?
She tricked him into falling deeper and deeper, then fled after using him. He swore he would definitely catch this little trickster and bring her back!
This is a 1v1 story with a double clean (both pure) setting and a "crematorium" phase (where one side chases after the other after a breakup/misunderstanding). Updates daily at 8 PM.
Completed"Your Majesty, do you treat hemorrhoids?"
"Eating, drinking, and entertainment; toileting comes first. A body free of hemorrhoids is a light body." Crossing over to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gu Yan didn't get a script for internal family struggles, palace intrigue, farming, or infrastructure development. Instead, she got...
She glanced at the toilet sticks next to her, estimating how many times they had been reused after washing. Then she looked down at the latrine pit beneath her buttocks and faintly heard pig grunts. She understood: she had received a toileting script.
As the ancients said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." As a proctologist, Gu Yan decided to make this primitive toilet a starting point for her career. She first improved her own toileting environment, then found a more comfortable little home, and finally set up a stall to practice medicine, making her unexpectedly widowed life better.
With years of experience fighting hemorrhoids, she became a household name, a legendary divine physician. Her reputation spread throughout the capital, even reaching the palace, where she was eventually summoned by the Son of Heaven.
At that time, Liu Heng was suffering a crushing defeat in his battle against hemorrhoids, enduring both physical and mental agony. All the court officials hoped for his ascent to the heavens. It was truly a time of internal strife and external threats.
Gu Yan arrived before Deng Tong could suck his sores and lick his hemorrhoids. She used scientific, civilized, and hygienic treatment methods to successfully help him conquer his hemorrhoids, earning her an honorary title as a "beauty." This surprised her, causing a momentary tension, as she wondered, "How did this turn into an ancient romance novel script?"
Just then, her fiancé, who was presumed dead in battle, miraculously returned triumphant. He didn't want official promotion; he only wanted to marry her and have three "goods" with her: three sons and three daughters – a perfect 666! Had this transformed into a marriage romance script as well?
But all she wanted was to fight hemorrhoids, make money, and shop!
~~~Flower Lanterns Unending~~~
In the seventeenth year of Yongle, Zhao Mingyan, the "Flower Lantern Princess" of Mingyue Zhai, and Tan Linshuang, the young master of Zhulin Chamber of Commerce, were united in a joyous marriage.
However, the moment Tan Linshuang took Zhao Mingyan's hand to enter the sedan chair, a subtle game of chess began between them. Zhao Mingyan thought, "This man is rumored not to live past twenty, but he's handsome as jade. Lying on the bed, he can help me conceive a son and secure the Zhao family's lineage. If he unfortunately dies young, I'll have the flower lantern shop in my left hand and the Zhulin Chamber of Commerce in my right. With money and a child, I'll live a carefree widow's life."
Tan Linshuang thought, "This woman is known as the 'Zhao family's vixen,' a fierce shrew from Shu, yet she is deeply loved by my grandmother. I will let her be a ceremonial wife, use her to gain control of the Chamber of Commerce, then take concubines to have sons, force her into divorce, and marry a virtuous woman to be the new matriarch, with the husband leading and the wife following."
On their wedding night, she 'parted the clouds and stirred the rain,' while he feigned illness, then fainted, and almost pretended to die. A year later, she made Mingyue Zhai's flower lanterns famous in the capital once more, and the Zhulin Chamber of Commerce also prospered.
She turned to look, and he was still alive. Feeling her full-term pregnant belly, she began to select beautiful concubines for him. He, however, asked her with a hint of resentment, "Wife, what is the meaning of this? Do you no longer want your husband now that we have a child?"
She smiled sweetly, "Husband, am I not fulfilling your wish? I'll be the 'decoration,' you embrace your beautiful concubine, and then you'll lead and she'll follow?"
Completed"Quick, tell me! When did you start liking me?"
"There is a beautiful one, whom I see and cannot forget. A single day without seeing them, and I yearn like mad. A phoenix flies high, seeking its mate throughout the four seas."
"I don't understand..."
"I fell in love with you at first sight, and it's hard to forget."
"Love at first sight is just lust at first sight; you don't love me at all!" Helan Ruizhe found that no words could coax the girl in front of him, so he hooked her neck and covered her cherry lips, their teeth and lips intertwining.
His voice was low and hoarse as he leaned into Jin Suting's ear, "Love at first sight for others might be lust at first sight, but for me with you, it's a glance that spans ten thousand years."
CompletedSome say: Lady Liang is vulgar in her manners, fierce in her conduct, can spew filth, and has perfected the knife technique for castrating men, making her an out-and-out formidable woman.
Others say: Lady Liang is kind-hearted, a rough gem, gentle in nature, like a celestial being descended from heaven.
The two sides argue endlessly, and though their views differ, one thing is consistent: Lady Liang is not a bad person.
No one expected that Lady Liang, who everyone claimed wasn't bad, would commit the grave crime of rebellion, making her a thorough traitor. She had infiltrated the Eastern Palace, engaging in deception, and the one she deceived was the master of the Eastern Palace—the current Emperor.
After her misdeeds came to light, she was harmed by others and fled in panic to Lingnan. The new Emperor, with his five-year-old child, traveled thousands of miles to Nanzhou. His expression was cold and stern, as he repeatedly questioned: "Do you no longer want me or our child?"

Only this woman! Only this woman repeatedly made him restless and heartbroken! He had thought her gentle words, soft demeanor, and subservience were all out of admiration, but unexpectedly, she was an operative sent by the previous dynasty to infiltrate his side.
