Crowned Consort in Golden Age

Feng Qing
"A marriage decree, a bestowed wedding. She, a woman with no apparent talents, beauty, or virtues. He, a disgraced prince, bearing scars, disabilities, and serious ailments. Yet the world proclaims them a perfect match! Beneath the wedding banner, she smiles gently, her composure unwavering. Through countless trials, all she desires is peace in this life. Inside the wedding hall, a smile graces his lips, while his heart remains as cold as ice. Enduring all disgrace, he harbors the ambition to one day conquer the world. — He is my husband. To disparage him is to belittle me, to insult him is to insult me, to harm him is to harm me. If anyone dares to harm me, I will eliminate them! — I have no faith in the gods, nor do I seek mercy from the heavens. If she should lose her life, I will turn this world into hell, offering the mountains and rivers as a sacrifice for her. *In this story, both the man and woman wield formidable power. *She exudes serenity, while he harbors a shadowed heart. She possesses kindness, while he harbors darkness. Wicked individuals are dangerous, but sometimes, the kindness of others can be even more potent. *Though there may be many attractive men, remember that this story revolves around the relationship between one man and one woman."

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
