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!

A Dangerous Kind Of Love

It is impossible for a police officer to fall in love with a criminal. That’s what Riley believed. That’s what she was trained to believe. Riley Knox goes undercover knowing exactly what she’s walking into. A powerful CEO. A spotless public image. And rumours of ties to an organisation that has ruined lives and vanished without a trace. Her job is simple: observe, listen, gather proof, and get out. No attachments. No mistakes. But nothing stays simple for long. The more time Riley spends around Nathaniel, the harder it becomes to separate the role she’s playing from the feelings she’s trying to ignore. He isn’t what she expected. He’s careful, quiet and controlled. And somehow, in the middle of lies and half-truths, something real begins to grow between them. Then there’s Melanie. She isn’t part of the investigation, but she becomes impossible to overlook. A child caught between distance and discipline, acting out because it’s the only way to be seen. Loving too loudly in a house that doesn’t know how to love gently. Riley never meant to care, but caring happens anyway. All three of them are struggling in their own way. Riley with the weight of her duty. Nathaniel with the secrets he refuses to let go of. Melanie with emotions she doesn’t yet know how to name. Somehow, without meaning to, they begin to lean on one another. Not perfectly. Not safely. But honestly. And that’s where everything starts to fall apart. Because love built on secrets doesn’t stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes out, Riley will have to choose between the badge she swore to honour and the people she never planned to love. The question is not whether love can survive danger. It’s whether anyone walks away from it unbroken.
