In the first year, Princess Li Qian first met the "gentleman". The man was upright and fair. She sneered: "Hypocrite."

In the third year, the battle for the heir to the throne was lost in one step. He closed his eyes and begged for death. The man was the only one who stepped forward and risked his life to protect him back to the capital. She sneered: "He is still a gentleman."

In the fifth year, the coup d'état ascended the throne. The empress came to the court and offered the man high positions, generous salaries, noble ladies and beauties. She refused them all. She frowned slightly: "He is indeed a gentleman."

In the tenth year, she woke up in the morning with soreness all over her body. She gritted her teeth and cursed the man beside her: "You are unworthy of being a gentleman!"

...

"Three things can make the empire great again: swords, humble officials and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism."

He said to the empress.

[Fictional setting, pure palace intrigue, no romance, having children and raising kids, my son must be the crown prince, career-driven, and realistically minded]

Warning: Not a story about a clean break, I don't love the male lead, there are angst and heartbreak, and the male lead is a scumbag.

Song Yuyan was addicted to a palace intrigue game where she cultivated her harem, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself transported to ancient times.

After three years of biding her time, she entered the palace as the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, her goal being to win the emperor's favor, bear a son, seize the crown prince's position, and ascend to the pinnacle of power!

The Emperor? He's nothing more than a tool for producing children!

As for those imperial concubines...

Anyone who dares to lay a hand on her will be eliminated, saving you all trouble!

In order to arrange a respectable marriage for her, Wang Xi’s mother sent her to the golden-plated mansion of the Marquis of Yongcheng in the capital city. However, Wang Xi, who came from a wealthy family in Shuzhong, found nothing appealing in the capital and only wished to return home as soon as possible.

One day, she accidentally discovered that she could use a telescope on the artificial mountain in her backyard to see the residence of the neighboring Eldest Princess… Her eyes lit up instantly—Eldest Princess’s son, Chen Luo, was truly handsome!

The cousins in the Marquis of Yongcheng’s mansion were really interesting! The capital city was so much fun!

"My name is Roach. I'm not a horse, nor am I a carrot. I

'm currently in pieces (literally), but since I've been put back together, I can be considered alive.

I don't have any special hobbies, nor do I have any special interpersonal relationships. By local standards, even if I'm not illiterate, I can be considered illiterate.

My main daily tasks are fishing, making soup, chopping wood, and feeding horses.

I haven't traveled around the world. You asked me what my main job is? Probably pets.

What are I good at? It seems that I'm not particularly good at anything. If I have to say, it's probably courting death.

If I have to say, I'm quite confident in my appearance because the witch praised me for being cute."

The man, with scars left by healed wounds on his face, smiled like a child as if he had just emerged from a hellish battlefield, and raised the axe in front of him.

---------------

After his mother passed away, his father immediately married a new woman.

Meng Shu endured years of hardship under her stepmother's control, but ultimately could not escape the fate of being sold off.

The slave trader's ropes dragged her away from her homeland and threw her into the incredibly wealthy Tang family mansion.

She was selected to enter the household due to her exceptional talent and became the personal maid of the second young lady of the Tang family.

Madam Yun, the matriarch of the Tang family, was extremely skilled in planning and in bestowing favors. She survived in the mansion for four years. From then on, Meng Shu was no more, only her maid, Hua Yan, remained.

Soon after, the second young lady was ordered to enter the palace.

Deep within the palace gates, turbulent undercurrents surge. To protect her mistress in this desperate situation, and to carve out a path to survival for herself, Meng Shu (Hua Yan), as a "selected concubine," steps into the golden cage.

However, the imperial harem was by no means a warm and loving sisterhood.

Here, there is fighting without gunpowder, and scheming behind smiles.

Meng Shu (Hua Yan) was born with a photographic memory, and she is meticulous and plans things out before acting.

She is by no means a kind and easily deceived saint; when faced with life-or-death situations, she can also reveal a terrifying ruthlessness.

She navigated the quagmire of power and survival with utmost caution.

Behind the heavy curtains of the palace, the understanding, alliances, and mutual assistance among women, like vines quietly growing in dire straits, became another source of strength for her survival.

From a lowly maid to a palace attendant, and finally to the position of Empress, how will she protect those she wants to protect and carve out her own bloody path in this cannibalistic palace?

Everything is just beginning...

Prince Jing, Xie Yan, and Princess Jing, Shen Nanzi, were a couple filled with pure hatred.

They have been married for eight years and have one son.

Xie resented her for forcing her into marriage, which led to a mismatched union, and her mother left in resentment.

Shen Nanzi hated him for frequenting brothels and for his coldness and indifference towards her, making her known to everyone as a "mad and jealous woman".

But she still harbored delusions.

Until Xue Qingning appeared, she saw him warm her coat, get hurt for her, and build a love nest for her...

He fought against numerous heroes, all to protect the mother and child and help them stand before the world once more.

Shen Nanzi then realized that all those women he had been with before were merely reflections of his longing for Xue Qingning.

A mouthful of blood stained the snow-white handkerchief.

The imperial physician sighed, "If the princess falls ill from worry again, she may not live past thirty."

She looked at her young son and knew all too well how much suffering a motherless child endured.

At this point, she suddenly realized that loving him for ten years and hating him for eight years was enough.

For the rest of his life, he can love whomever he wants; she will no longer be driven mad by jealousy, nor will she give up cherishing herself for him.

For the rest of my life, I will eat, drink, and have fun, raise my young children, and live a peaceful and comfortable life until the end of my days.

But not long after she restrained herself, Xie Yan began to stare at her frequently and would occasionally move closer to her.

"Your Highness, replace the guards with women!"

"Your Highness, they say you keep male lovers?"

"Your Highness, you and the Sixth Prince..."

She smiled and said, "Your Highness, please take care of your beloved. We will leave each other alone."

Hint: The female lead is initially love-struck and her temper is unpredictable, but she is essentially kind and soft-hearted.

He was reincarnated as the arrogant and lawless Prince Zhongshun in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

I have no respect for the law; I am the law.

Emperor: Sixth brother, keep courting death, I'll clean up your mess.

Officials: You used the emperor's sword to behead the officials from the time of the retired emperor?

Emperor Emeritus: You unfilial son, do you love your father more, or your brother more?

Li Xun: This king is selecting beauties.

I've heard that Prince Chungshun is a villain.

That's right!

I'm either bullying others, or on my way to bullying others!

(This is a fanfiction of *Codegease: Lelouch of the Rebellion* titled *Codegease: The Night Before the Cold Sky 1945*.) After years of struggle, the anti-fascist alliance was finally close to defeating Nazi Germany. To save themselves, the Germans devised an incredible plan: using a mysterious machine still in the experimental stage, hoping to open a door to another world and request their aid. They thus forever changed the world. However, this did nothing to help Nazi Germany; they were still utterly defeated and ultimately surrendered unconditionally. But this change led to the rise of a new power: the Britannian Empire, led by Emperor Charles, who firmly believed that conquering the world was their destiny. The empire launched an attack without any warning. Fortunately, we were not entirely unaware of their existence. The Northern Alliance and the Eastern Alliance regrouped their armies, set off again, and brought back victory.
