The third year of Wanli’s reign, in spring.
The Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng reinstated the practice of keeping the Veritable Records (Qiju Zhu), assigning the duty to the Hanlin historians on a rotating basis.
From that moment on—
Shen Nian, third-ranked Jinshi from the year Xinwei of the fifth Longqing reign, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Compiler at the Hanlin Court, Zhang Juzheng’s most outstanding disciple, and lifelong nemesis of the Wanli Emperor,
—thus began his career as court chronicler.
⸻
That day, the young Wanli Emperor got drunk and missed an imperial lecture.
Shen Nian straightened his back and wrote:
“His Majesty, drunk, missed the imperial lecture. The Empress Dowager and the Grand Secretary rebuked him sternly, even speaking of dethronement.”
That month, a large number of eunuchs were appointed as mining and tax commissioners, extorting wealth from the people.
Shen Nian raised his chin and wrote:
“Before the throne, I declared: ‘The disasters of monopolies and mining taxes are entirely the Emperor’s fault.’”
That year, the Wanli Emperor neither performed the suburban sacrifices, nor paid respects at ancestral temples. He refused audiences, ignored memorials, and ceased court lectures.
Shen Nian and his fellow historians cried aloud:
“Better to die speaking than live in silence. The greatest honor of a court historian is to be killed by the Emperor.”
⸻
Shen Nian said:
“I must be ill. I can’t sleep at all.
I have contracted Zhang Juzheng’s illness—the burden of holding up a collapsing sky—
but I was not destined for Zhang Juzheng’s fate.
In a daze, I saw the Grand Secretariat reduced to two people:
one drafting memorials—that was me;
one issuing imperial replies—that was also me.”
The down-and-out young man Chen Tianyu was scolded by his boss at work. Dragging his exhausted body back to his small rented apartment, he thought about the dinner his girlfriend He Xiaoli had prepared for him, and it was as if all the day's unpleasantness hadn't happened. But what he didn't expect was that when he got home, not only was there no dinner, but his girlfriend greeted him with a cold, indifferent expression. Watching her lift her suitcase, he looked at her helplessly. Even though he had a bad feeling in his heart, he still didn't want to accept the outcome.
“Tianyu, let's break up. From now on, you go your way, and I’ll go mine. Let's part ways here.”
Chen Tianyu watched as his girlfriend left him, moving farther and farther away…
Xiangjun has been in the palace for eight years. She strives to be the best and pleases everyone, but she is still rubbed, used, humiliated and abandoned by the noble masters in the palace...
The nobles were lying on a pile of corpses and enjoying the wealth of the world, but they laughed at her for trying her best and not knowing her own limitations.
In the end, the child that Xiangjun desperately gave birth to called her enemy mother, but she was forced to have her baby removed by caesarean section and died with her eyes open.
After her death, only the cold and powerful eunuch who she had met a few times collected her body, giving her the last bit of dignity.
After rebirth and awakening, Xiangjun realized that she was just a cannon fodder female villain in the storybook.
In this life, Xiangjun wants to find a new path for herself.
Since those noble masters do not treat these lowly creatures as human beings, she colludes with the equally lowly eunuchs to stir up trouble.
"Tingxue, in this life, you and I will be a pair of power-hungry, treacherous and powerful concubines."
Original title: The fragrant bones are not jealous of the spring snow, slaying the dragon is the most important thing
[The heroine is successful in her career, and her ultimate goal is to slay the dragon; she is impure, unclean, ambitious, and has a CP; the hero is a love-brained, real eunuch, and will mind the mistaken entry]
Qingmei: "My husband has miraculous healing powers and a kind heart. He is the most famous doctor in Yuzhou City..."
An Jing: "My wife is gentle and virtuous, a great cook, and a beautiful woman..."
............
In the moonlight, a new round of sword rain fell, and two figures intertwined with each other.
"Husband, aren't you a doctor?"
"Madam, aren't you a lady from a noble family?"
He is the only successor of ancient medical skills and a super soldier with a mysterious identity. He obeyed his master's orders to go down the mountain to fulfill the marriage contract he had made since childhood, but he was arranged to be an intern in the community hospital by his wife, a beautiful CEO who disliked him.

On the high-speed train, Zhang Ze had a romantic story with a woman.
He never expected that the heroine of the story was actually the general manager of his company...
Time travel + no space + many CPs + a strong heroine
Watch the female director step by step to her throne in Hollywood~
In Hollywood, a "dream factory" built of capital, power, and prejudice, 20-year-old Anne White burst onto the scene, armed with a secondhand video camera and a deep passion for film. She wasn't the heir to a filmmaking family, nor did she possess the connections backed by a major studio. But she knew her passion for filmmaking burned brighter than anyone else's: to use her camera to shatter Hollywood's stereotypes about women and create epic stories truly from a female perspective.
From a down-home Texas girl to the Oscar-winning "New Queen of Hollywood," Anne White's story goes far beyond a woman's rise to power. Through her lens, she proved that true cinema need not be defined by gender; and reaching the pinnacle simply meant using her work to open a wider door for those who followed.
This time, Hollywood finally learned——
Don't ask "What can a woman shoot?"
Instead, ask, "Anne White, what are you going to take us to next?"
Tang Ke activated the black technology system and tried it out on his wife's car.
That night my wife went to attend the live broadcast ceremony.
Unexpectedly, on the way home, he was kidnapped.
On the road, a scene of speed and passion was staged.
"Is this really a female driver? Why is she driving so aggressively?"
"Holy crap, drifting through a corner?! How come she can even drift?"
"Boss, why can't our guns penetrate the wheels?!"
"Wait a minute, why is this car deforming?"
now……
Netizens were shocked.
My wife sat in the car, listening to the instructions from the artificial intelligence.
A look of confusion.
This is what my husband said, a slight modification?
After his girlfriend broke up with him, He Shiming linked himself to the "Tomorrow's Headlines" system and gained the ability to predict the future. His ex-girlfriend frantically screamed, "He's mine! Don't take him from me!" The school beauty responded domineeringly, "No! You've already given up on him, and now he's mine! Stay away from my boyfriend, or you won't be polite to me!"
