Eastern Romances

A good brother was troubled by the need to break off a marriage engagement,
After drinking, the young Marquis of Marquis Duanjing Residence, Yan Qing, was willing to take a stab for his good brother, "It's just a woman, right? I'll marry her!"
When the alcohol wore off, he looked at Ling Hua who had come to find him—
He regretted it so much his guts turned green!
At the age of thirteen, Ling Hua struck the complaint drum to bring a lawsuit to the Emperor's attention, daring to risk her life by dragging down the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor's family from power, saving the entire Ling Family and thus making a name for herself in the Capital City. Three years later, she reorganized the Ling Family, firmly grasping it in her hands, leaving no one able to shake it.
Every time Yan Qing mentioned her, he sighed with emotion, thankful he didn't marry this woman.
—In the end, he married her!

Yan Qing: A young man holding a grasp of the crisp breeze, intoxicating the verdant courtyard with the fragrance of orchids for miles
Ling Hua: Stained by the color of Begonia from Qiyun Mountain, worthy of plucking a single bloom to hasten the adornment of makeup

Laying It On Thick

Exiting the Imperial Study, Ling Hua took a deep breath of relief.


To her, the Imperial Study was akin to Ghost Gate Pass; every visit to the palace for an audience was like walking through Ghost Gate Pass once again.


She wouldn't visit the palace and the Imperial Study unless necessary, but every year, there were inevitably several significant matters that required her attention, compelling her to make several trips. Though she wouldn't lose a chunk of flesh, she would certainly shed a layer of skin.


This time, too, she had shed a layer of skin, for she had effectively sold out Black Thirteen of Green Forest to curry favor with Liangzhou General Zhou Wu.


Black Thirteen would surely hold this against her!
