Disclaimer: This is a translation of the Chinese novel 长门怨 by Qiao Xi/乔夕 and not my own work. Translated by: Catharcity (https://catharcity.wordpress.com/2017/10/08/lament-at-changmen-palace-oneshot/) Fan Art Pic: 樂兮 Synopsis: If Wei Zifu loved you, then her story could only have ended the way mine did. If, from the beginning, all I wanted was only the precious throne belonging to an Empress, perhaps I would not have lost you as quickly as I had. Note: This oneshot narrates the true story between Emperor Han Wudi (Liu Che) and his first wife, the deposed Empress Chen Jiao. Their story has been encapsulated into a famous chinese idiom called "金屋藏娇" (jīn wū cáng jiāo), which literally means 'putting (Chen) Jiao into a golden house'.

Akari Ayame lived 99 lives. 99 lives as the same person, life events and the same fate. Her death at the hands of her love rival and unrequited love. No matter how many different paths she took, in the end, her death was the same. 99 reincarnations. 99 trials to seek her happy ending. 99 tribulations of sorrow, anger and regret. 99 heartbreaks. 99 deaths. In the end Akari was tired of trying. She thought that the reason why she kept reincarnating was to find her happy ending with the man she loved. But with 99 fails, she was tired of the same fate. This time, her 100th time, she would be the matchmaker for her love rival and unrequited love. She will no longer block their love and try to live her life without sorrow, anger, regrets or heartbreak. With the fickle Gods of Fate, how would Akari know that it would only take 100 tries for her to find her happy ending.

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
