Her entire family was killed, she lived under someone else's roof, dynasties changed, marriages and divorces took place. In just eighteen years, Yu Zheng had experienced things others wouldn't encounter in their entire lives. A former noblewoman, she now only wanted to survive, to enter the palace as a maid. With her literacy, she hoped she could eventually become a court lady and support herself.
She never expected that the new emperor of the new dynasty would show favor to the old ministers of the previous dynasty and send her to the backyard of the fourth prince.
Haha, I divorced my ex-husband because I didn’t want to be demoted to a concubine. Now, don’t even think about divorce this time.
The Fourth Prince's backyard is small, but full of scheming. Outside, there's a change of dynasty and a lot of work to be done, while inside, there's intrigue and scheming.
Her life had hit rock bottom, and there was no chance of falling any lower. Given this, she could only rise from this point forward. Heaven had sent her to fight, so how could she possibly betray it?
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.
[The first 30 chapters are filled with abuse on the female lead + the later chapters are filled with abuse on the male lead + no rebirth + no cheat codes]

Ancient Rome: From Slave Owner to Supreme Emperor, 3,528731776, Ye Tian traveled through ancient Rome with the strongest slave owner system. As the strongest slave owner, he kicked Crassus, slapped Pompey in the face, and killed Caesar by patting his head. The Senate was treated as a backyard, the Roman triumvirate bowed in submission, and the proud nobles were proud to kneel and kiss Ye Tian's toes. Later archaeological experts discovered through clues that the supreme emperor who once unified the three continents was actually of the Yanhuang bloodline.
On the 19th day of the first lunar month in the first year of the Wanli reign, Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun looked at the iron triangle in front of him.
The first ally had a kind face. She was the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.
The second ally was just a eunuch whose duty was to kowtow.
The third ally is a powerful official who looks very domineering.
Finally, everyone turned their eyes to me and asked me what role I was playing.
I looked at my identity and said, I am:
The Great Emperor Who Does Not Do His Job
. This book is also known as: "I Have a Billion Little Hobbies", "The Emperor's Grace Shattering the Earth Fist", "Let the Ming Dynasty Be Great Again"...
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.”
[Confucianism and Taoism + Ghostly Back of Confucian Sage + Frequent Clothing Destruction + Destroying Everything]
A wordless book records the affairs of the heavens.
Gu Mo arrived in a strange world with a scroll of heavenly books, where reading could make him stronger.
“Little monkey, let me ask you a question. Confucius said: ‘If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.’ What does this mean?”
"I found out the way to your house this morning, so I'm going to kill you tonight."
Confucius said: "Then what about the passing of time, like this river, which never ceases to flow day and night?"
The Master stood on the river and said: So many people have died because I kill them day and night, and I am even reluctant to leave.
"Very good, you have mastered the essence of 'Lunyu'. Now, come with me and fight alongside me!"
During that battle, the muscles on Gu Mo's back bulged, and a ferocious character "德" (de) was faintly visible.
My name is Gu Mo.
He likes purple clothes, loves reading, and often tears his clothes off.
(This book is also known as: Ghostly Scholar: Clothes Burst Out at the Start, Destroying Everything.)
What if Poland had chosen a different path before World War II?
What if communism and the national soul are not incompatible, but rather forged into a sword of revenge?
Poland in 1936 was not destined to be a lamb to the slaughter. Lech Sowa, a young cavalry officer bearing an ancient noble surname yet harboring fervent ideals, saw a third possibility amidst the shadow of fascism and the decay of the old world. He resolutely "defied his ancestors," transforming his family heritage into the capital of an uprising. With exceptional eloquence and an iron will, he built an army from scratch—the Polish People's Self-Defense Army—a true people's army.
This was not a simple red wave. Lech's "Polish People's Communism" was rooted in the soil of national salvation, blending chivalrous honor with internationalist ideals. He navigated between cunning Moscow, arrogant Berlin, and a bewildered West, fighting for a glimmer of hope for the nascent regime in the cracks.
However, this was only the beginning of a legend. While the world believed Poland was already a vassal state of the Soviet Union, Lech's gaze was already fixed on the future. Deep in the Carpathian Mountains, a top-secret project codenamed "Prometheus" was quietly launched; and the apparent obsession with magical weapons like the "Nazi Bell" was merely a carefully woven smokescreen. When Poland's nuclear thunderclap exploded on the Baltic coast, and when bombers carrying the "Knight's Sword" leisurely flew over the Korean Peninsula, the world realized with horror that the game had already been completely overturned by this Central European knight.
From the ruins of Warsaw to the battlefields of Stalingrad, from the flames of nuclear explosions to the covert struggles of the Cold War.
