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!

Chronicles of the Astral Express

IIn a multiverse fractured by forgotten wars and celestial collapse, one train crosses the stars in search of salvation—and meaning. Noah Alden was once just a boy from a quiet world, untouched by the vast cosmic web beyond his sky. But everything changed the night a Stellaron broke loose in his town, tearing open a wound between realities. Saved by a wandering Jedi Master, Noah was taken in and trained in secret, learning not only to wield a lightsaber but to understand the force that guides all paths. When his master vanished with only a cryptic message and a hidden ship, Noah returned to an ordinary life—until the Void Archives fell from the stars. That was the beginning. Now a Jedi in his own right and the bearer of a Divine Key, Noah commands the Astral Express—a sentient cosmic vessel born of the Aeon of Trailblaze. With his trusted crew, he travels from world to world, forging bonds and confronting the remnants of ancient powers that threaten reality itself. Each stop is more than a destination—it is a test. From corrupted dragons in frozen lands to divine conspiracies beneath sacred shrines, the crew must face not only external threats but the growing shadows within themselves. But with every step forward, deeper questions awaken: Who forged the paths they walk? What unseen forces stir beyond the end of the rails? And how far must they go to protect the light they still believe in? "Chronicles of the Astral Express" is a saga of legacy, identity, and the fire that binds chosen family across countless worlds. In a universe on the brink, even the smallest flame can become a beacon. *Updated the Synopsis in response to a comment. hopefully this change will help* ---------------------- Please don't be hard on your critics, this is just a story running on my head for long time now so I just want to share it you.
