Synopsis

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

The Empress only wants to raise her cubs alone

King Chong had a young princess under him, and the emperor named her Li Chengyi. Li Chengyi had been spoiled since he was a child. When he was six years old, he cried and made a fuss as he resolutely entered the palace to be the princess's study companion. King Chong did not understand, and neither did the emperor. With her status, there was no need for her to be gilded, not to mention that the princess was extremely unfavored. Li Chengyi was the only daughter of the Shangguan family and was the childhood sweetheart of the current Emperor. When the Emperor was still the Crown Prince, she was the Crown Princess. After she ascended the throne, she should have been the Empress, but the Emperor made Liangdi the Empress and only gave her the title of Consort. Two years later, the Shangguan Clan was exterminated and she was banished to the Cold Palace. His Majesty said that she was just a substitute for his empress. She was hanged in the Cold Palace. Perhaps the Dragon God had taken pity on her, but she woke up in an unfamiliar body.
