Annual Report of the Imperial Harem
I am the most indolent concubine in the Imperial Harem.
The Emperor is currently reading my Annual Slacker Report.
“This year, your name tag was flipped nineteen times. Of those, you were intercepted thirteen times. You actually served in the bedchamber six times, during three of which the Emperor couldn’t perform.”
“This year, you knelt over a thousand times. You called the Noble Consort a ‘bitch’ over ten thousand times, but the number of times you actually said it to her face was zero.”
“Do you remember the Mid-Autumn Banquet?”
“The talent you performed was balancing a pot of wine on your upturned backside, which resulted in half a month’s stipend being docked.”
“This year, your rank and salary have seen no change from last year. In fact, this situation has persisted for three years now.”
“Your keyword for this year is ‘Trash.’ Please keep it up next year.”
Oh no. Am I about to be slacked all the way into the Cold Palace?
Ballet Club Poisoning Case
At the school evening party, four girls from the Dance Club collapsed from poisoning while performing ballet.
After being sent to the hospital, three died from the poison, and one was lucky enough to survive.
The one who survived was me.
The one who poisoned them was also me.
Bargained Bride: A Time-Travel Romance
I was a child bride, bought by the Song Family for five taels of silver.
But Song Jitong didn’t like me; he preferred the daughter of the family living at the east end of the village.
I originally liked someone as handsome as Song Jitong, but eventually, I simply gave up on those feelings. I planned to repay my debt of gratitude to the Song Family, see Song Jitong off to the capital to become the Top Scholar, and then leave.
However, Song Jitong later appeared with an imperial marriage decree in one hand and my redemption money in the other. In the middle of the night, he cornered me against a wall just as I was trying to sneak away with my bags packed. Gritting his teeth, he hissed, “Jiang Miao’er, don’t you dare try to run away.”
Before I could even answer, this elegant Top Scholar-as refined as iris and orchid-was the first to turn red-eyed, looking just as aggrieved as he did when we were children.
“Elder Sister, please don’t abandon me…”
Beauty’s Grave
Pei Qi traded cities for a beauty, a grand gesture that became a legendary romance. Unfortunately, I was not that beauty, nor was I Pei Qi; I didn’t even know him.
My husband was merely a soldier defending the city. Because he refused to surrender, he died in that war, though the city was ultimately held.
The following year, when Pei Qi traded cities for his beauty, I became that beauty’s Foot-washing Maid.
Beauty’s Plight
The Crown Prince’s White Moonlight, the woman he’d pined after for ten years, had finally returned.
She lifted her chin and looked down her nose at me. “You. Go back to where you came from.”
I lifted my skirts and stepped into the carriage, then turned back to smile at her. “Sorry,” I said lightly, “but this seat? You’re never getting it back.”
Best Friend
When I was eighteen, I didn’t dare push open that door. Behind it, my best friend was playing adult games with the male writer I secretly loved.
I remembered that moment for ten long years. In that decade, my friend died, the writer stopped writing, and my life was ruined.
I respectfully composed a letter and mailed it to the man I had once loved from afar: Chen Song.
Best Friends Unite, Revenge is Sweet
My husband cheated on me.
My best friend has it even worse-her husband turned out to be gay.
I was raring to go: “Wanna get revenge?”
She clenched her teeth. “Yeah, let’s do it. Make them suffer.”
So, I swapped the lube with superglue.
She smeared chili extract all over their little toys.
That night,
our husbands ended up glued together, shaped just like the letter H.
Bite Marks
Introduction: Ning Qiuyan participated in a Volunteer Medical Program, serving as a Humanoid Blood Bag for a certain powerful figure suffering from a blood disorder.
Guan Heng, the legendary mysterious tycoon, lives a reclusive and extremely low-profile life. When a photo of him was leaked, he quietly became popular online for his long hair and striking, androgynous beauty.
Ning Qiuyan discovered:
Guan Heng never appears in daylight; his house always has the curtains drawn, and they only meet at night.
Guan Heng has pale skin, a cold and eccentric personality, and every time Ning Qiuyan is asked to donate blood, he must first fast and bathe.
That house is cold and dark, with no sunlight.
Guan Heng’s heartbeat is slow, and his body temperature is icy.
The first time Ning Qiuyan fell asleep during the blood donation, he woke up to find a bite mark on the side of his neck.
And he, inexplicably, found himself wanting to submit to Guan Heng.
Black Koi
My sister has a Koi Birthmark on her face.
After receiving her blessing, my father won five million in the lottery, and my mother regained a stunning, slender figure.
I was the only one who wanted nothing from her.
Because I knew that what was on my sister’s face was a Black Koi.
Whatever you take from her, you must pay back double.
Bloody Revenge
When I was five years old, my mother and I died in a car accident.
The people who orchestrated the accident were my father and my mother’s best friend.
After receiving two insurance payouts, they got married and lived happily together as a family.
Occasionally, That Woman would get scared: “The mother and daughter who died-won’t they turn into Vengeful Ghosts and come back to take revenge on me?”
My father would laugh at her for being superstitious.
But they didn’t know-I wasn’t dead.
And the me who returned alive for revenge would be far more terrifying than any Vengeful Ghost.
