Palace Fighting: Naive Concubines' Ascent to Power

Whistling Autumn Wind
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!

Love The Way He Lied

Synopsis— A century ago, the Black Dragon King Zeradros possessed the power to grant any wish in exchange for a human life. As rulers and nobles sacrificed the innocent to fulfill their desires, the world fell into fear and cruelty. To stop the endless bloodshed, King Aldric Therald of Velmoria made the ultimate sacrifice, sealing the Dragon King away at the cost of his own life. Since then, the Therald bloodline has carried the sacred duty of guarding the seal. Hundred years later, that burden rests upon Emperor Eyan Lucien Therald. Feared for his ruthlessness and bound by duty, Eyan lives a life defined by control and emotional isolation. He believes love is a weakness he cannot afford—until he meets Eva Elvaris. Eva, a noblewoman marked by a painful past and emotional scars, has lived her life believing she is undeserving of love. When she meets Kyel, a gentle and kind man, she begins to experience warmth, safety, and happiness for the first time. Unbeknownst to her, Kyel carries secrets that connect him to a fate far greater and more dangerous than she could ever imagine. As political tensions rise and hidden forces begin to move, Eva becomes entangled in a conflict surrounding the sealed Dragon King. Ancient duties, buried truths, and impossible choices threaten to destroy the fragile peace they have found. Bound by love, sacrifice, and destiny, Eva and Eyan must confront the weight of their pasts and the cost of protecting each other. But in a world where every wish demands a price, their love may require more than either of them is prepared to give.
