【Time Travel + Workplace Competition + No Lazing Around + Ambitious Female Lead】 Overachiever Shen Wei traveled through time and found herself as the lowest-ranking maid in the grand residence of the Yan Prince. The Yan Prince held a prestigious position, but his consorts were all content to live dull lives. The noble-born princess consort was as tranquil as a chrysanthemum; the concubine sought a life of monogamy; the reincarnated woman was utterly disillusioned with the Yan Prince and had given up on striving for anything; and the other timid concubines dared not make a move... The queen of workplace competition, Shen Wei, declared: Don't stop me! I'm going to outwork these unambitious slackers! ... The Yan Prince had grown accustomed to the stagnant atmosphere in his harem, until a particularly skilled courtesan appeared. This concubine was stunningly beautiful, adept at both literature and dance, hardworking, and always brought him fresh excitement. The Prince couldn't help but take a second, then a lifetime-long, look at her. Years later, Shen Wei became the all-powerful Imperial Noble Consort, with children and the emperor's exclusive favor. Meanwhile, the princess consort remained as tranquil as ever; the concubine was aging and had yet to experience a monogamous life; and the reincarnated woman was still eating simple meals in her modest abode... After half a lifetime of striving, Shen Wei finally reached retirement and revealed her true nature, fully embracing a life of leisure. The retired emperor interjected: "You competed for favor just to retire?" Shen Wei snacked on melon seeds: "What else?" Living is all about retirement! The retired emperor was even more surprised to find, in midlife, that other men were vying for his wife's affections!

She was born as the stars whispered secrets, beneath a spring sky in 1507, when the Pleiades shimmered too brightly to ignore. Odette Lyra Sinclair - a name once erased, a girl once cast aside. The bastard of a future king, exiled to France with her mother, raised among roses and ghosted titles. Polished, fluent, veiled. Then came the winter of 1518, sharp with destiny. Taken by pirates, lost to the waves of fate - only to resurface in the silken shadows of the Imperial Harem. November 24th, they record. She was brought not for pleasure, but to serve Hatice Sultan - and yet, history would remember her for much more. She was not loud. Her steps were hushed, her gaze unreadable. Still, the palace noticed. In the letters of the Valide, in the journals of the court stewards, in the glances exchanged when she passed - she was there. The White Phantom. The Veiled One. The girl who bowed, but never bent. For two years, the Sultan wondered. She intrigued him not with laughter, but with silence. He saw her with Mustafa, with Hatice, with Mahidevran - and always, she turned away. But fate is persistent. And one day, at a game of chess, his hand brushed her veil. And the world shifted. He never let her hide again. She bore him eight children. She wore a crown of sapphires that sang of forgotten oceans. He wrote her into verses, painted her with trembling fingers. She obliged the Crown not by demand, but by becoming indispensable - the soul he could not rule without. Others were queens. She was the Sultana of the Jahan.

The harem has always been known as a gilded cage that Xiu Zhao was never eager to join as the only di daughter of her father's household she has to enter. Yet she is prepared to not only protect herself but find a stable position to protect her. However, as she rises in power due to not only her beauty but her wisdom she attracts the attention of the emperor soon becoming his favourite. When he soon falls in love with her plans change drastically.

In ancient Times, we have heard about stories of kings who were in polygamous marriages. And certain movies have romanticised their life with second or last wife. But I feel they didn't exactly show the feelings and griefs of a first wife rather they were made villains. So I got a thought why don't I write a story by myself and write what I want to see and show that? So this is my first try in wattpad and tell me your views about the story. #1 in india #3 in Cheating #6 in heartbreak #8 in historicalfiction #7 in betrayal

"She's beautiful..." "Too bold. Look how she carries herself." "Not a shred of fear." "Another girl for His Majesty to forget in a month." Born as the daughter of a disgraced general, Fei Zhenrou was raised in secret after her father was executed for treason. When a mysterious decree from the Emperor brings her into the palace as a low-ranking concubine, no one expects her to survive more than a few months in the silken trap of the Inner Court. But Zhenrou is not what she seems. Behind her gentle façade hides a woman trained in espionage, warcraft, seduction, and survival. As she navigates assassinations, political schemes, and romantic entanglements, she must use all of her identities-warrior, courtesan, scholar, and spy-to rise through the ranks and uncover the truth behind her father's betrayal. And perhaps, to seduce the cold-hearted Emperor who holds both her fate-and his heart-in his hands.

She shamelessly seduced him. She served him heads. She bled for his forgiveness... and carried his child while doing it. Linzhi is a shameless little fox with a wicked smile and a dangerous secret - she's not from this world, and definitely not who everyone thinks she is. After waking up in the body of an assassin with blood on her hands and a price on her soul, she does the most logical thing: throws herself at the cold, disciplined general whose life she may have accidentally ruined. General Zhou Chen is used to blades and battlefields, not women who sneak into his bed and bring him heads as offerings of love. He doesn't say much - especially not the things she aches to hear - but Linzhi keeps fighting for a sliver of redemption... or maybe just a sliver of his heart. Love shouldn't be this messy. But if she has to crawl through blood to earn it, so be it.
