Qin Bao was the legitimate eldest son of the Marquis’s household, yet his father showed him no affection, his stepmother was unkind, and his younger brother hurled insults at him. For twenty years he gave everything, but when his brother Qin Youde was about to marry, he scandalized the family by getting a courtesan pregnant. To conceal Qin Youde’s misdeeds, their parents forced Qin Bao to play the dutiful son and marry the courtesan in his brother’s stead. But Qin Bao’s soul had come from another world. Upon awakening, he gave Qin Youde a thorough beating and angrily denounced his father and stepmother, severing all ties with the Qin family once and for all. His poetry was unrivaled in the land, his business acumen amassed wealth to rival nations, he married a princess and aided the state, his name resounding throughout the world. His father, now full of regret, pleaded bitterly, “Bao’er, you are truly the son I love and am most proud of. Won’t you come home?” Qin Bao replied coldly, “Get lost!”.

Emperor Jingxi was a stern and cold man, indifferent to women, and under his knee was only one son—the Crown Prince, a youth as bright and pure as the moon. Of this son, the emperor was at least somewhat satisfied. No one could have foreseen that the young Crown Prince would nearly lose his dignity over a beautiful woman. It was said that this woman was skilled in the arts of seduction and loved wealth above all else. When the emperor cast his eyes upon that concubine, he regarded her with deep disdain. She was clearly the sort who would never settle for a quiet life at home; such a wanton woman could only bring disaster if kept by the prince’s side. With a single decree, the emperor ordered that she become a Taoist nun and leave the prince’s residence. The Crown Prince protested, “Father, you do not understand what kind of woman Awu truly is!” The emperor replied indifferently, “Must I understand?” For several days, the prince struggled against his father’s will, but the emperor’s heart was as hard as iron. In the end, Awu was sent away from the prince’s manor. Yet Awu herself harbored no resentment. She wept and bid the prince farewell, then packed her belongings, preparing to become a carefree and wealthy little Taoist nun. Who could have predicted that, on that very day, she would accidentally stumble into a hot spring, slip, and fall straight into the arms of a strong, imposing man? That man was none other than Emperor Jingxi. That same night, the former concubine of the prince, Awu, was taken to the emperor’s palace. After three days and two nights, Awu was sent away in a grand carriage, accompanied by none other than Grand Eunuch Futai, the emperor’s most trusted attendant. Futai beamed as he offered his congratulations. Awu, supporting her aching waist, could only sigh in distress: so much for a peaceful life as a nun… The young Crown Prince stormed into the imperial study, his tone full of indignation: “Father, you would not let me keep Awu, yet now you have taken her for yourself!” Emperor Jingxi gazed at the son he had raised with his own hands and said, “Among all the women in the world, you may choose anyone but Awu. I will not interfere again.” The Crown Prince, trembling, drew the sword at his waist, gritting his teeth: “But I want only Awu.” The emperor’s hand pressed against his desk, his face impassive. “She is now my consort. You, of all people, should know how to address her.” The Crown Prince was on the verge of tears. “Father, how could you! How could you do this—Father—” The emperor replied coolly, “You once said I did not understand. Now, I simply do.” Completed works: “His Shadow Guard,” “Spring’s Warmth in the Palace,” and several stories set in different eras. Please read the notices before you begin! 1) Neither the male nor female leads are virgins. The heroine appears at sixteen or seventeen, the hero is thirty-three. 2) Before the main couple is together: the hero has a harem, and the heroine has been with two men. 3) In the early stages, their relationship is physical; his feelings grow from desire, while hers develop much, much later. 4) The heroine is a femme fatale; she bears a prince, causes the crown prince’s downfall, and her son ascends the throne—she herself becomes empress. This is the premise, clearly stated. If you like it, read on; if not, there are many other excellent stories to be found elsewhere..
