The story takes place in ancient China. The day my elder sister was appointed Crown Princess, I volunteered to marry the sickly General Wei Shuhan. All of the capital laughed, saying I was picking up the trash my sister didn't want. On our wedding night, I smiled lightly at my coughing, blood-stained groom. "General, do you know you've been poisoned by three strange toxins?" When he gripped my throat, I spoke even more shocking words: "I wish to make a deal with you-wipe out my family for me, and I'll cure your poison and extend your life." By the flickering candlelight, his eyes turned crimson. "And if I refuse?" I brushed my hand across his chest. "Then the general will have no choice but to enter the underworld as a virgin." Later, when the poison flared up, he pressed me against the medicine vat, his burning breath brushing my ear. "The third poison... could it be a love curse?"

A younger sister cannot wed before an older sister. It's a law of their society, a rule vehemently obeyed by prominent families in the nobility, and it's always been Ella Harrington's buffer. Ella has never been interested in marrying for anything short of love itself. Unfortunately for her, love is a rarity in the marriages of the aristocracy. Fortunately for her, her sister Emily is precisely one year older than her and is the most unpleasant, disagreeable, sulking woman to ever debut in all of England. So Ella may never have to marry at all. A free woman, she enjoys her time on the sidelines and wishes for nothing more. That is, until a tall, dark, and brooding Duke comes to town alongside an old friend of her brother's. Suddenly, Ella finds herself questioning the antiquated marriage order rule as her buffer begins to feel more like a barrier. Not that it matters. The Duke isn't interested in her anyway. Right?

Rebirth of the Forsaken Empress - Synopsis Betrayed and left for dead, an elite assassin awakens in the frail body of Empress Selene Valeria-reviled, abandoned, and imprisoned in the Cold Palace. Once discarded by the emperor and falsely accused of poisoning a favored concubine, Selene wasted away in despair. But this is no longer her story. Determined to rewrite fate, the assassin refuses to beg for love or power. Instead, she vows to reclaim her dignity, outmaneuver the treacherous court, and most of all-protect the one person the former empress abandoned: her son, Crown Prince Caius. With sharp wit and deadly skill, she will show the empire that she is no longer a helpless pawn but a ruler in her own right. And if anyone dares to stand in her way, they will learn-too late-that this empress was once an assassin who never failed a mission.

Genre: Romance · Historical · Transmigration When Lin Zhixiu opened her eyes, she found herself standing in the middle of a muddy village road, dressed in patched-up linen and surrounded by wide-eyed strangers. She had transmigrated - into the body of a notorious green tea biaozi (绿茶婊子) of the 1970s. Sweet on the outside, venomous inside - this body was known for faking innocence, seducing men, and stealing the original heroine's happy ending. And in this era of revolution, labor, and scarcity, being too pretty could be fatal. Lin Zhixiu's only goal was survival. But when she laid eyes on Jiang Wancheng (江万成) - the cold, hard-bodied male lead with a soldier's spine and a farmer's hands - she knew her path wouldn't be clean. "Comrade Jiang, my ankle hurts... Can you carry me?" The original heroine, Song Yao (宋瑶), was beloved, kind, and strong - everything Lin Zhixiu wasn't. In a world where love could get you labeled a capitalist degenerate, Lin Zhixiu used smiles like knives and tears like traps. But she didn't expect her own heart to betray her. One kiss. One man. One mistake. "I just wanted to play the game. Who told him to take it seriously?"
