Marrying the Fallen Empress: The Steamed Bun That Activated the System

Lin Hao, a steamed bun peddler, is suddenly ordered by imperial decree to marry Chu Zhaoyi, the fallen empress of a conquered nation—once a ruler at the peak of power, now a prisoner with a cold, elegant demeanor. On their wedding night, Chu presses a sword to his neck, sneering, "A lowly commoner dares to touch royal power?" But when Lin, panic-stricken, hands her a warm steamed bun, a mechanical voice blares: [Fallen Empress Protection System activated!] The system commands him to help Chu restore her kingdom, or he’ll be "erased," yet Chu believes he’s a spy with ulterior motives. Trapped between a cold empress who wants to kill him and a deadly system mission, Lin has to navigate carefully: he coaxes her to eat with steamed buns, uses system items to shield her from assassins, and even secretly gathers intel on her old followers. When Chu realizes this市井 man is quietly building hope for her, her sword-wielding hand trembles: "Are you doing this for the system… or for me?" Only then does Lin understand—he’d long forgotten the mission. He just wanted the woman who once stood atop the clouds to have another warm bun, and another smile.

I Flipped the Table at New Year's Eve Dinner

Su Xiao is the family's unspoken 'giving tool': she bears the burden of her brother's betrothal gift, her parents' medical expenses, and even the gold bracelet she bought for her mom this year was secretly given to her sister-in-law. At the New Year's Eve dinner, when her parents ask her for another 200,000 yuan for her brother's house, Su Xiao finally snaps—she slams down a 10-year-old account book and pours out all her grievances on her family. But as she runs out in tears, she doesn't see her mom trembling with a late-stage gastric cancer report, nor does she notice her dad quietly slipping his lifelong savings card into her bag. Did this table-flip shatter the superficial harmony, or the 'hidden love' buried for 20 years?

Transmigrated as a Fake Emperor: I Fought Back Against the Two Queens with the General
