In the first episode, Little Palace Maid Lian Hua, holding tea leaves, thought to curry favor with Zhaoyi. The Emperor intercepted her halfway, and before she could react, he hijacked her tea leaves, leaving her bewildered. In the second episode, she wanted to curry favor with the Noble Consort. During the Noble Consort's birthday feast, she hadn't even presented the meticulously prepared tea leaves before the Emperor seized them, leaving her aggrieved. In the third episode, she had just sneaked out with the Palace Maids to pick bamboo shoots, planning to go back and cook something delicious when the Emperor burst out of nowhere wanting to freeload a meal. If it wasn't tasty, he would punish her, she managed to barely pass muster by exerting all her energy. Before she could feel relieved, the Emperor told her he was also staying to sleep! This time, he was thoroughly taking advantage of her, enjoying free food and lodging without the slightest intention of rewarding her. At night, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. All the silver she had saved up in earlier years had been used to sustain the Emperor. Now that the money was gone, she feared being punished for not being able to support him in the future. The more she thought, the sadder she got, her tears plopping down, which woke the Emperor sleeping beside her. In a flurry, the Emperor consoled her, "There, there, don't cry, don't cry. I haven't even had time to reward you, how could I punish you!" After much consoling, and finally with his promise to provide for her sustenance, she turned her tears into laughter. The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. This Little Concubine would need to be favored properly from now on—he dared not make her cry again. →→【This story has concluded, thank you for reading】→→ New book recommendation: "Consort of the Roll-Royce is Here, Run!"—It's a good read!

An exiled princess, a dying general, and a betrayal that shatters the one alliance that could have saved them—Eirian Soliel refuses to be forgotten, even as the kingdom turns against her. Once the dazzling darling of the Court of Sorrow, Eirian’s future is stolen when her father remarries and produces a male heir. Cast aside and exiled into a political marriage at the empire’s volatile border, she expects to disappear quietly into irrelevance. Instead, she finds Chenzhou. Quiet, honorable, and already dying from a mysterious poison no one can name, Chenzhou has no interest in court politics—or in the wife forced upon him. But Eirian is not a woman who fades. As she pushes her magic into the land, restoring a dying estate, she begins to uncover the truth behind his illness—and the enemies gathering around them. It is through Chenzhou that she meets Mingzhe, a trusted figure from the court and one of the few men who moves easily between worlds. What begins as cautious cooperation grows into something rare: a fragile bond of trust between three people navigating power, loyalty, and survival in a court that has already discarded them. Together, they begin to rebuild—strengthening the borderlands, stabilizing Chenzhou’s condition, and quietly resisting the forces working against them. But the deeper Eirian digs, the clearer the truth becomes. Chenzhou’s illness is no accident. It is the foundation of a long-buried conspiracy within the powerful Yang family—one designed to reshape the empire itself. And Mingzhe, unknowingly entangled through years of quiet influence and misplaced trust, stands at the center of it. When that truth comes to light, the bond between them fractures. What began as loyalty becomes betrayal—not born of malice, but of manipulation—and its consequences threaten to destroy everything they have built. With war rising at the borders and treachery rooted deep within the court, Eirian and Chenzhou must decide whether trust can be rebuilt—or if survival demands something colder. Because the greatest danger is no longer the poison slowly killing her husband. It’s the truth that might finish what it started.

Within a desolate realm, where discarded worlds were stitched together, a rupture tore open, releasing a small child into the fragmented expanse. Above him, the sky revealed three eerie moons, while an ominous black mass loomed ominously in their wake. Disoriented and engulfed by a putrid stench, the child awakened amidst a swamp, its twisted trees groaning under an oppressive haze. In the distance, the echoing caws of crows intensified the sense of foreboding. A haunting figure emerged, laboring behind a cart laden with lifeless bodies. Fear and confusion gripped the child's heart as he began to grapple with the enigma of his own existence. Who was he, and what dire fate led him to this grim landscape? The grinning figure drew closer, exacerbating the boy's terror. Unbeknownst to him, his journey would unveil a profound transformation—an ascent to become the embodiment of fear itself, or perhaps... a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness.

In the Azure Phoenix Realm, Xu Qi, a normal telemarketer on Earth, found himself transmigrated into a body with a similar name as him. However, he found out that he had nothing of the usual golden finger or system that he often read in webnovels. Instead, he only has his talent honed from his job, his silver tongue that can make his customers buy his wares or his former girlfriends fall from his sweet nothings. With words as his tool, he carefully navigates the competitive world of cultivation. However, he might not be as helpless as he thought he would be as he discovered that his words were more effective with women. ---- Note: This delves more into the MC's interactions with different women than the cultivation world itself. But world-building won't be neglected. Just expect less action and more talking. Netori? Most likely. If you've read my other novel Stealing Spree, you'd know what to expect.
