Forced Marriage
True Love in the Imperial Palace
My Imperial Elder Brother is into men, and my Imperial Elder Sister is into women.
Imperial Father has pinned all his hopes for the empire on me.
I’m trembling-should I tell him that the one I love is a eunuch?
Imperial Father: “Impressive.”
On a Snowy Night, He Forgot Me Again
The day I was escorted onto the Sacrificial Altar, Emperor Pei Yuheng personally pressed his seal onto the list of my crimes.
The entire court decried me as a Nation-Wrecker Sorceress, yet only I knew that his life was something I had reclaimed from the King of Hell, one blade-stroke at a time.
However, every time I saved him, he would forget a little more of me.
By the end, he couldn’t even remember the lantern he once held when he promised to marry me.
Walking Beside You
For three nights in a row, my maid said the same thing in her sleep:
“It seems one of the chickens in the backyard is missing.”
I simply assumed she was exhausted from her daily chores and thought nothing of it.
That was until we encountered a landslide on our way to the Capital. My maid was killed in the disaster, but I was rescued by soldiers who arrived just in time.
Trembling and lost, I sought out the commanding officer, intending to reveal my true identity as the daughter of the Provincial Commander.
He glanced at the maid’s clothes I was wearing and suddenly asked:
“Are the hens still brooding lately?”
Floating Boat Crossing
I bought a eunuch off the street. On his very first day in the manor, he started throwing his weight around.
When the others refused to follow his orders, he turned right around and complained to me.
Everyone waited for him to be put in his place, but instead, I said, “From now on, whatever Pei Yunchuan wants, you give it to him.”
He was about to gloat over his newfound power, but he hadn’t even let out a laugh before I continued with my announcement.
“He is the man I am going to marry.” He froze, his voice shrill as he shrieked, “You deranged lunatic, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?”
Glass Slipper Filled with Ashes
On the night of my wedding, the Queen ordered her guards to pin me down and force those Glass Slippers back onto my bleeding feet. She said that if the shoes were not sated by my blood before the thirteenth bell toll of midnight, she would carve out my heart to feed the mirror. The entire hall waited for me to become a Princess Consort, but only the groom, Su Zhichuan, leaned in and whispered into my ear, his voice trembling and hoarse. He said, “Don’t believe in fairy tales. Kill me before dawn, or you’ll be the one who dies.”
The Mountain God’s Bride
The Mountain God’s Bride The day I was sold into Blackstone Village, they told me I was to be the Mountain God’s bride.
One month later, I walked back out from the mountains wearing a red bridal gown, stilt-walking, and wearing a Nuo mask.
Behind me, a three-mile-long Fire Dragon illuminated the main street.
On behalf of the Mountain God, I asked them: “We remember every girl you’ve sent in over the years. Are your own daughters ready?”
