Reincarnated as the female leader of a nomadic tribe, Shoukang Xiuqiu commands ten thousand people. They lack clothes and food, and winter is approaching fast. The tribe suggests she lead raids to steal grain from the Central Plains people. She immediately slaps the suggestion away and angrily scolds them, "How can we stoop to being beasts?"
Just when she’s starving, a beautiful young woman from the Central Plains arrives, offering a thousand shi (a measure) of grain as payment, asking her to rescue her brother who is trapped in the Anubi tribe. The tribe scoffs, saying, "Anubi has forty thousand troops. Let alone that we can't defeat them, Anubi and us share a common ancestor. Why would we help you fight our own people?"
Shoukang Xiuqiu sees the beautiful woman—pitiful and lonely, with no one by her side—and thinks, if she’s not rescued, she’ll probably be kidnapped by another tribe and become a breeding slave. How miserable that would be. Plus, they’re running out of food. Without hesitation, she agrees: "Alright, I’ll go to Anubi and get your brother back."
Her tribe warns her, "Leader, we’re the lowest-ranked tribe. By the rules of the steppe, we don’t even have the right to enter Anubi’s territory."
Shoukang Xiuqiu’s face is expressionless as she replies, "Then we’ll just set a fire, force them to come out and talk to me. That way it won’t count as us entering!"
The tribe’s jaws drop in shock: "Uh!!! Leader, are you serious? How can we possibly fight them?"
She boldly declares, "I’m just inviting them to join our big family, to strengthen our forces. If they refuse, then we’ll join them. Either way, we’ll get your brother back."
The tribe mutters: "Such a fierce woman!"
The beautiful woman from the Central Plains looks at this demon named Shoukang Xiuqiu with wide, amazed eyes, filled with great interest.
From then on, the tribe called Aguan, once unknown in the chaotic era of the Hu people, stormed northwards, slaughtering Hu soldiers and tyrants. The world was stunned, and they became famous overnight. Later, they established Western Wei, uniting all ethnic groups in a flourishing era, ending a century of chaos in the Central Plains.

One day in the camp, Shoukang Xiuqiu was being teased by her subordinates again.
"She’s obviously a Hu woman, but she kills Hu people so enthusiastically, you’d think she was from the Central Plains."
"Exactly, and she even married such a beautiful wife."
"What does that have to do with the leader marrying a wife?"
"It means she’s a henpecked husband. We call her the 'wife controls the hitter,' or simply 'wife rules.'"
Shoukang Xiuqiu was so angry she wanted to beat up those bastards. Suddenly, a soft, fragrant body hugged her from behind, sweetly whining, "Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu, I found something I like."
Her expression softened instantly, full of affection. "What has my lady found this time? Buy, buy, buy! We have money to spare!"
Xiao Hao nuzzled her cheek. "There’s a plain near the sea in the southern country, perfect for growing lychees and longans—you know how much you love them. So I want to buy some."
"Buy it! I’ll send the carts right away."
Xiao Hao suddenly whimpered and complained, "But they say I’m a fox spirit, a calamity to the country, and refuse to sell to me. Not only that, they say they wouldn’t even throw it on the ground to feed the dogs."
"The southern country dares slander my lady like that!" Shoukang Xiuqiu’s killing intent rose. "Bring me the marching maps! From now on, we’ll never be short of lychees again."
"Once we conquer them, we’ll eat for free and to our heart’s content!"

Because of lychees, the southern king whose country was destroyed muttered:
"Damn! Those treacherous merchants fooled me!"

Theme: Embrace the light, be strong and unyielding.
Ding——Congratulations, Host, on becoming this dynasty’s treacherous minister. Please fully embody your true nature, drag the flourishing Da Zhou Empire into the abyss to fulfill your historical mission, and you may then be freed from the karmic debts of three lifetimes and ascend to the peak of life.
Xiao Yunfei pinned the Emperor’s brother-in-law to the ground and rubbed him in the dirt, then even pulled down the crown prince’s pants.
Luck happened to be on her side: the emperor was scheming against the prime minister, and she reaped the benefits.
The crown prince went to complain to the emperor.
The next day, Xiao Yunfei became the crown prince’s tutor.
On the third day, the crown prince’s eyes were bloodshot as he did homework until he shut down mentally.
The entire court was thrown into chaos. Power structures were rearranged. The "Xiao faction" rose rapidly in influence.
Even minor officials began calling Xiao Yunfei “Godfather” to her face.
Whatever she wanted to do, the Princess Royal was fully supportive.
Xiao Yunfei always felt the Princess Royal was up to something.
Sure enough, soon she… set her sights on the imperial harem.
> “I heard the Noble Consort has been feeling lonely lately.”
Members of the Xiao faction broke into a cold sweat: “My Lord, please—【Heavens, she even dares to covet the emperor’s women?!】”
> “Actually, this Chancellor believes the Princess Royal is of age. Isn’t it time to select a prince consort?
Gentlemen, are there any promising young talents you’d like to recommend?”
> Xiao faction: “The Chancellor speaks absolute truth. 【Not only is she unafraid of extermination of her entire clan, she’s even enjoying herself?!】”
Just then, the low and commanding voice of the Princess Royal came from outside:
> “Chancellor, is there anyone you favor as a candidate?”
Xiao Yunfei, slightly startled, respectfully replied:
> “This humble minister does indeed have a candidate in mind. May I ask when Her Highness will choose her prince consort?”
Li Tang raised her finger and pointed at her:
> “Then, Chancellor, when will you welcome me into your residence?”
Xiao Yunfei: “??????”
I’m trying to become the master of your household—why are you trying to marry into mine?
You really are a woman in mourning, huh!

One-sentence summary:
Took home a Princess Royal by accident.
[Outwardly Abstinent Siscon Mad Princess × Outwardly Delicate but Truly Black-Bellied Sickly Noblewoman]
[Dual Female Leads / Double Madness / 1v1 / Pseudo-Sisters / Main Gong / OE]
[Not Biological Sisters]
Ji Xiangjue never expected that just as she decided to end her own life, she would inexplicably transmigrate into a strange world. And if she didn't protect this noblewoman, she would also die. Thus, she was forced onto the path of acknowledging a "younger sister" and taking care of her.
But who could have known that this pure sisterly bond would gradually begin to mutate...
“A-jie*, everyone says you don’t love me—but I don’t believe it.”
“That’s the truth. Why wouldn’t you believe it?”
“There’s only one possibility: you love me.”
Ji Xiangjue threw her to the ground, face indifferent. “I’m your A-jie.”
Jian Chuxun gave a wretched smile. “Can’t an older sister love too?”
“Ji Xiangjue, sooner or later, you’ll fall in love with me—just like I love you.”
*Note: "A-jie" is an affectionate term for older sister in Chinese.
Set in an alternate ancient world with no system. Don’t overthink the plot logic. This is a brain-off story.
Ji Xiangjue is pure madness; Jian Chuxun is driven mad by love.
Sweet story teaser:
I have never had emotions, nor have I ever known love.
I’ve loathed this world countless times.
I firmly believed no one could shake my truth.
But you... you are the only one who exists outside my order.
—Ji Xiangjue

Lu Yuqi originally thought that if she ever transmigrated one day, she’d become a major villain. But unexpectedly, she didn’t even end up as a human. And now her boss wants her to save a pitiful villainess.
System: Go, hug her.
For the job, Lu Yuqi obeyed.
System: Go, kiss her.
Grinding her teeth but still wanting that promotion and raise, Lu Yuqi obeyed again.
But later on…
System: I didn’t even give you a task. Why are you doing it on your own?
Lu Yuqi: I’m working overtime!
What can she do? The villainess is just too lovable~
Not slow-burn—plenty of hugging and kissing, fully sweet.
There’ll still be some small stabs of pain—just the right amount of angst for flavor~
Non-traditional cultivation world. Alternate universe, slight ensemble cast.
Note: Both female leads are ruthless and decisive—not brainless, not naive sweethearts.
Cruel methods involved; don’t read if that’s not your thing.
