Li Wan Yin had survived endless overtime, impossible deadlines, and soul-crushing office politics-only to die from burnout after finishing the last chapter of her favorite historical romance novel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the body of Li Wan Ying, the infamous Fifth Princess of the Great Li Dynasty. Beautiful, privileged... and doomed. According to the novel, Princess Li Wan Ying was the empire's notorious villainess. Infatuated with Xie Yunshen, the young Marquis of Xie and the empire's youngest general, she used her status as the Emperor's beloved daughter to force him into marriage. Though born into one of the Great Li Dynasty's most powerful military families and deeply trusted by the Emperor, Xie Yunshen never returned her feelings. Instead, his heart belonged to another woman-the novel's heroine. Consumed by jealousy, the princess repeatedly tormented the heroine until Xie Yunshen finally reached the end of his patience. After exposing all of the princess's crimes, he personally executed her, bringing the villainess's story to its bitter conclusion. Li Wan Yin had absolutely no intention of following that script. Forget romance. Forget chasing the male lead. The quickest way to stay alive was to stay as far away from Xie Yunshen as possible.

It's a noble mission, so the Crown Prince secretly helps her from the shadows. Because of him, her dangerous missions somehow become very easy. Eventually, Zhao Xian decides helping secretly is boring. So he joins her missions directly under the extremely suspicious name "Idiot Bai."

Suddenly the Crown Prince is no longer interested in just saving people. He is now on a very important mission: Make Su Jin notice him. The only problem? Su Jin still thinks he's just Idiot Bai. 😌

The Imperial Princess Accidentally Seduced Her Husband summary: Ah........she was married to a Marquis, yet he only had intent to treat her as a concubine not as his first wife, a princess (princess refers to a person's first wife, it is a position of power among the wives and in the household). Now she overheard that he only married her for appearances sake? It was just great! Not only was she forced to marry, she also lost her freedom. Since her husband was also unwilling to marry, they might as well not bother with each other....... His newly wedded wife was so very strange! A night before the wedding he caught her peeking shamelessly. She also demanded that the favor he owed her for having saved his life, two years prior in the desert was to not touch her? Usually a wife would be sharing a husband with three or four other women. Thus they would be full of worry and trepidation, serving their husband to the best of their ability attempting to become the favourite and obtain the valued Princess position. Yet she actually tried to distance herself from him as much as possible. How was this a relationship? Though it did not matter to him, for he long had the intention to separate himself from her, he was only marrying her because of the Imperial Edict after all. If he didn't seize this golden opportunity then he was too dumb to deserve it. Let her regret it! She was very proficient in the art of Qi Huang. Even though this princess' beauty wasn't too outstanding, it wasn't bad and her temperament was unquestionable. This Prime Minister's Daughter even had a touch of feminine charisma. Her varying facial features made him forget about the other beautiful concubine completely and made him want to........only care for her!? Although he swore to the moon that he would not touch her, however tonight the night sky was cloudy......... This is not my story Credit for the AUTHOR(S): MO CHEN

When an Imperial Decree demands that every noble household send their eligible daughters to the palace for the Xuancai (Imperial Selection), the Nangong Marquisate faces a dilemma. To protect their favored daughter from the risks of the inner court, they send Ning Xiang-the ignored, illegitimate daughter born of a lowly maid-alongside her legitimate sister, Nangong Bi. Bi is arrogant, haughty, and convinced she is destined to be the next Empress. Ning Xiang, however, enters the palace with only one goal: to survive long enough to eventually earn her freedom and find her mother. The young Emperor Li Zhao is a man of sharp intellect and deep isolation. Haunted by the fact that he has no heirs, he is surrounded by women who view his lap only as a stepping stone for their families. At the center of the web is Empress Xiao, a woman whose elegance masks a ruthless, calculating mind. She maintains her power by ensuring no consort stays in favor long enough to threaten her position. Beside her are the "Four Consorts," each more insidious than the last, turning the harem into a battlefield where a single wrong word can lead to execution. From the cold chambers of a Cairen to the silk-lined halls of the Huang Guifei (Imperial Noble Consort), Ning Xiang transforms. She sheds her innocence, learning that in the Daming Palace, one must either be the predator or the prey. As she stands one step away from the Empress's throne, she must decide if the power she has gained is worth the soul she has traded for it-and whether she can finally protect the empire from the schemes that threaten to burn it down. "In this garden of peonies, only the one with the sharpest thorns survives the winter."
