My mouth opened. I stammered; "Y-your Highness."Eyes straight ahead, Li Han walked forward with an indifferent expression, "Hold tight if you don't want to fall."My eyes brimmed with unshed tears. And perhaps due to pain or melancholy, I hid my face to his wide chest. I remember Mom, whenever I got injured or sad, Mom will hurriedly travel eight hours to the city to comfort me.Acting spoiled, "It hurts."I felt his body stiffened, "I'm here."After few minutes, we reached the Qixiang Palace. Concubine Zhi was shocked when she saw his son carrying a woman."Han'er, what happened to Lady Bai?"Li Cha interrupted, "It's that Commoner's fault.""Wh-what?!""Call the imperial physician!" Li Han's voice boomed, obviously annoyed. All hearts jumped, especially mine. Scared me to death!Li Han gently placed me in the soft chair, "Th-thank you."My head was in disarray. I don't know what to think first; my injury or the unexpected outcome of today's scene? 'What's happening, Author-san?'Mi
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" I almost sighed when the male lead released my chin.But then, the moment Li Han lowered his eyes, he suddenly grabbed my hand. Noticing the scar, Li Han took my hand to his face, inspecting it more closely. I don't even dare to breathe.I watched how the corner of his lips little by little, formed a victorious smile. The hair on my neck stood on end as he let out a melodic cackle of laugh. Li Han laughed so hard as if he discovered something precious or as if he heard something very hilarious.When Li Han stopped laughing like a bipolar person, there was the sudden chills like I was in a horror movie. 'Mom, he's scaring me!'Li Han stared at me as he leaned forward. He had now, a sly grin on his handsome face. "Bai Suxin."I can only stood frozen like a clueless duck. The male lead carefully stretched my index finger, then slowly seized it into his mouth.I gasped."I told you, I'm going to chew you all up."My eyes widened. Alarm bells were ringin
I ordered Lu Yi to give two silvers and his horse to the two gentlemen.Before the carriage began to move again, I heard one of them shouted, "Thank you, my lady. We will be forever be indebted to you."It's not easy being the two-faced Bai Suxin. Actually, it's tiring to be her and I went out of character sometimes. Dear Lord! I'm human. Sometimes my lips slipped and accidentally spat a 'curse' which a big taboo for women in this era. 'A big no-no! Pei! Your father!'I remembered the comical and jaw-drop expression of Jin'er when she first heard me cursed. It was a funny sight! She looked like she's gonna faint or as if she's carrying the world upon her shoulders.Jin'er insisted to let me wear the white-transparent clothing on my face whenever we go out of the manor. As an ancient Chinese woman, I must be reserve and can't just show my face to the public. Honestly, it was so bothersome. I'm not even a beauty. No need to cover this plain face people.As I bear a noble status, I must
Chu Wanwan was now as pale as ghost. She looked so shock. Standing at the edge of the lake, no one noticed that I intentionally shoved her back to the ground and let myself fall into the frozen lake."Lady Bai!""Someone help! Lady Bai is in the water!""My lady!"I pretended to struggle against the water. I was flailing my arms, "He-Help! Help!" Inside my head, I was cursing nonstop. The water was so cold. It's killing me!"Help!" To be more convincing, I held my breath, letting myself submerged into the water for few seconds. I must overcome my breathing reflex. Must not run out of breath under water. One. Two. Three. My forehead creased. I opened my eyes, looking around in the dark water. 'Where the heck is my savior?!'This near-death scheme of Bai Suxin was not very smart. Now, I am the one who's suffering!I squinted my eyes, noticing a shadow swimming towards me. 'You're late, Lu Kai!' After this scene, I'm going to deduct my bodyguard's salary for this month. I angrily took
Let's forget about the kiss.It's not really considered a kiss. The male lead did that to saved me. And about the other night, he did that to.. expressed his resentment, right?'Don't panic, Liu Shishi. Don't panic. Deep breath.'"My lady, please walk slowly. You're still not well."When we reached the Zhongcui Palace, the seventh princess was supervising the punishment of the female lead. Chu Wanwan was lying on her front in a wooden long chair. There were eunuchs on both of side, with heavy wooden bars on their hands.I saluted. "Greetings to the Princess of Laoyang and His Highness Nan King." I softened my voice. "Your Highnesses, please don't punish Miss Chu.""Lady Bai, you.. Why are you here?" Li Cha frowned. Then she glanced to her side– to his silent fourth brother, Li Han. She angrily pointed her finger to the female lead. "This vixen tried to hurt you. It's the second time. She must be punish severely!"I said lightly, "It's just a misunderstanding, Your Highness. It's not he
After Li Han send me be back to Yongshou Palace, he stayed for dinner. Since then, Li Han was secretly visiting me every night. He liked hugging me to sleep, placing his face on my stomach. Then he'd tell me to pat him to sleep.'Do I look like his mother? Is he a dog? Why does he like patting so much? Wait.. he's really a dog!'"Do you remember years ago, you told me that you admired me so much?"*cough*cough*cough* Bastard! Stop saying nonsense! I spent the next several minutes coughing and choking on my own saliva."Don't misunderstand me, your highness. I really think highly of you. I admired you so much.""Are you.. mocking me?""Mocking? No. No. Instead, I'm confessing to you, your highness with all my heart."My eyes widened in horror. Why did he have to mention that?! Father! I almost died at my own spit. The male lead was always one to hold a grudge."That..""Why'd you lie to me?" His tone changed, it got heavier, my face paled.Closing my eyes, I bit my lips; "No, Your High
"Everything is ready, my lady. The Prime Minister and the madam are patiently waiting for your return to the manor. Princess Li Cha also send her regards to your departure."I nodded.The palace maids and eunuchs who were taking care of me in these past few days all appeared teary. They all seemed reluctant to let me go. I wanted to laugh. They really treat me as their master. I'm not even married to the imperial family.. yet.Jin'er assisted me to the carriage. Here we go again. "Move out!" Lu Kai shouted.Thirty minutes later, we're in the middle of the road. I closed my eyes, I felt my stomach churning. 'Damn bumpy road!'Suddenly, the carriage made an abrupt stop. I shrieked."Bandits!"Next, I heard the sound of different shouts of men and clashes of swords from outside. My hand covered my mouth, suppressing my scream."My lady!""J-Jin'er, don't w-worry. I'll p-protect you." I hugged her."D-don't be scared. They're just bandits. They can't defeat the twins. Father said the twi
Wolf mask.The man was wearing a creepy wolf mask. He seems to be the leader of the bandits. When I saw that mask, I screamed without a sound.Who is this man? Jin'er was in a perfect disguise. How did he–? Wait. Think hard Liu Shishi. What's more is there in the plot?Kidnapping.Kidnapping? Ah! There is really a plot where the female lead got kidnap by bandits in exchange of some treasure map. I can't even remember the name of that d@mn map. Fortunately, she was rescued by the male lead.Wait.So why am I the one being kidnap right now? And that plot is supposed to happen after the female lead return to the capital."Don't be scared, my lady." His big thumb gently brushed my falling tears."Don't touch her! I am Bai Suxin. I am the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister. She's just a maid. Let her go!" Jin'er insisted.The man chuckled before signaling his men to tie Jin'er and cover her mouth with cloth, muffling her words and shouts.I'm doomed! He knows!The wolf man carried my fr
"During his youth, my old man is prettier than Jiangke. My sweet husband. The love of my life."Liu Mei stabbed her cake, her eyes glazing over the cafe. "Excuse me. Liu Shishi, stop daydreaming. You never had a boyfriend. As in. Ever.""I'm married. For fifty-one years.""You.. you're crazy. Remind me again, why did I allow you to stay at my place? You should stop reading those weird novels. If you don't stop, I'm going to sue that author. He certainly did something to your tiny brain. Tsk. Ben dan." (*stupid egg: idiot)I pouted. 'This girl.. is really hateful.'"Jiêjiê, look what I got." I smirked at her. I raised my hand, kissing the colorful red wallet. Pay back time!"That.. that's my wallet."Looking at my wicked sister shaking her head comically, made me feel soooooo good. I giggled. He-he. I nodded to her slowly. Teasingly."No. You can't. Liu Shishi!"I smiled more, mischievously. I know how my sister love money so much. Compared to me who spend money like water; Liu Mei was
Wanwan said, I should cherish the memories. She said, I should move on and be happy because you're already in heaven.F**k that.If you're going to leave, I'd erase every remnant of your existence in this world. I'd destroy everything you had touched. Everything connected to you. Everyone you loved.'If you're going to leave..''.. Please, bring me with you.'Why can't they understand that I don't want just the memories of you? I want you; the entire you. Not just.. your shell. 'Please, come back to me.'If I must, I'd destroy everything to get you back. So you'll choose to return, get mad and scold me for being unreasonable.'If I could turn back time, will you finally look at me? If I was given another chance, will you be able to love me?''If I meet you again, then I..'What did I say back then to Eunuch Xu? Something about Bai Suxin being the most dangerous person I met. I came back. I traveled back in time. 'This time, I will protect you. This time, you can't escape.'"I know y
Some were sad with their ill-fated lives but I'm not. I want to detached myself from life; be numb and stay unfeeling. I know from the very beginning that Mother hated me as she hated Father Emperor. Mother won't let me forget that fact— by giving me the bitter congee every night."I want to be a good person for my son. I also want to be a good mother. But Your Majesty took everything away from me. You are the one who made me a monster!"All the servants looked at us with their condemning eyes. They didn't bother concealing netheir their profound contempt to Mother nor their pitiful gazes to me."You told me, if I give birth to your child, Your Majesty will spare Yichen's life. Yet in the end, you still ordered his assassination!" Mother kneeled infront of Father Emperor, laughing and crying at the same time.I heard from the servants, before Mother became one of the thousand beauties by Father Emperor's side, she used to have a fiance but that person died because of father."Who do y
Warning: Reader discretion is advised.——His Highness Nan King made no further movement that's when I realized, he was waiting for a response. I let go of the blanket and gently held his idol-type face. I can't really pushed the male lead in the chest or shoulders, he's wounded."A kiss.""Just one kiss. You need time to heal."Li Han closed his eyes; when he opened them again, there was a mysterious glint in them."I understand, wife. A kiss."Just imagine the surprise look I made when I heard the dog prince agreed. 'What is he saying with that puppy expression?' It makes me want to pat him again. 'See? The male lead is reasonable? What a cute puppy.' That's.. what I thought and I was damn.. wrong.I was never been this wrong because if I can, I'll slap myself and push my dumb self to the cliff. He lied! No matter how cute he is, Li Han is still a dog! I should've known, that this will happen. It's a scam!'Bad dog! Bad dog!' *Wahhh!!When Li Han shoved his tongue inside my mouth,
As a matter of fact, I really don't have any idea on how to act infront of the male lead. I mean.. now the story has long changed its course, I was unsure if should I still act as a bully to him or what?Looking at the male lead puppy appearance, I can't bear to. I feel like I'm executing an animal abuse. (*lol)"Suxin? Is that you?""Your Highness—""No. Call my name. Call me by my name. Tell me, it's you. Please.."'Li Han..' I bit my tongue, his name almost escape my lips. "Prove it to me. Prove it to me that you're Bai Suxin. Please..""Though, this must be another dream; can you.. just let me deceive myself for once?"'What is he saying?'"Li Han, why are you crying? Stop. I said, stop."I stretched out my hands. As my fingers touched the tears on his cheeks, I hardened my heart and scolded him: "Don't cry. Don't you dare cry for me."I closed my eyes in frustration, unable to understand what's happening right now. But I was certain that he's cornering me. I know that there were
Alarmed by what I'm hearing; I took a step back, instinctively pushing the emperor away from me in the process.We looked at each other, both had a shock expression in our faces. When he recovered, Li Rui stretched his hand towards me again. "Lady Bai, I..""Your Majesty!"Bai Yan with red eyes and her glamorous red dress approached us. She glanced at me in angry manner; I gulped.'What duck-sh!t scene is this?!'This is the Prince Palace, so why are you people keep coming here? Disturbing this villainess peaceful life as an abandoned wife. Stop bringing this villainess a dog drama!"Greetings to Her Highness The Empress." I saluted.'Bai Yan, it's not what you think it is. You're not wearing a green-hat. Believe me.'"An important letter came from the Nan Army."After reading the said letter; Li Rui stood there silently with a complicated expression on his face.Bai Yan smirked. "I suggest to let the Nan Queen depart immediately."Just like that, I was thrown to my mortal enemy.. the
"Worship the heaven, earth and the ancestors."That moment when you talk sh*t and have to eat your own words. (ཀ ∧ ཀ )"First kowtow for harmony."Red symbolizes good luck, happiness and prosperity. Well, marrying the male lead, I.. highly doubt that. Oh dear, aside from PTSD.. starting that day, I also think, I'm having an erythrophobia (*fear of color red)."Second kowtow to the heaven and the earth."Don't asked me why I didn't run away because I sincerely tried numerous times and failed miserably. The Bai couple locked me up in my own bedchamber for a month before the wedding day."Third kowtow to each other."Just like that, I became a married woman. At the young age of fifteen, the duck villainess married the dog male lead who suffers a facial paralysis.After the wedding ceremony, I don't know if I should be grateful or what when the male lead received an imperial edict by Emperor Li Hai, ordering him to immediately depart to the Southern Border.I think that day, my soul left
"The lady must've like the Dog Prince that's why she's helping him every time."Heaven ah! I never felt so offended like this before. Ever! I wanted to slapped them with my mêimäô. (*veil hat)My eyes squinted at the people in the next table and looked at them like they have five heads? Are you.. freaking serious? I'm helping the male lead because it's what written in the plot, that's all."They must be in a secret relationship."*cough*cough* I never thought that I'd die the second time.. by choking on noodles. 'What relationship? Ill-fated relationship?'Jin'er lightly tapped my back while passing me a glass of water. "Slowly, my lady."Like my life was depended on it, I gulped the water rapidly to force the food down, then I heard them say again: "The Crown Princess candidate must've seduced the Dog Prince."Oh God Lord, jiū jiū wō! (*help me)"My lady!" Jin'er was holding my whole arm, apparently restraining me."Don't stop me Jin'er. I'm going to fight them." I gritted my teeth i
I really don't know what to feel. This was already my second transmigration to this sadomasochistic novel, so of course, I already know my way around here. I was less desperate and had less doubts. I was braver this time.The history was already written. My regrets from my first transmigration, I don't want to make them the second time.I put meticulous attention to each details of the original plot; I promised to myself that I won't make the same mistakes I made before and planned to make good decisions on my own without errors.'Jayo!'"Crown prince brother, stop staring at Lady Bai. Hmp."I couldn't help but smile thinking that this bratty little seventh princess tried to protect this villainess until the end. She's really a good friend.'I'm afraid to leave you here. Come with me to Du Empire. I will protect you there.'Li Cha linked her arms with me; fluttered her long eyelashes as she taunted her little victory to her older brother. I sighed at the two, watching them bickering
