Sweet Romance by the Reed Marsh

[Transmigration · Rebirth · Fictional Ancient China · Marriage Before Love · Sweet Romance · Devoted to Each Other]

Shen Yi, a modern woman, woke up one day as Shen Zhiyi, who lived under her uncle’s roof in the Great Yan dynasty.

The original Shen Zhiyi had been timid by nature, but she had no intention of repeating her predecessor’s mistakes. With her modern cooking skills and business sense, she made desserts, built up her savings, and joined forces with her sisters to establish a school. She wanted not only to make something of her own life, but also to give the women of the world skills they could rely on.

Prince Pei Yuanzheng of Su’an was someone no one in the capital dared to cross.

His father was a founding hero, and his mother was the unattainable first love of the current emperor. Pei Yuanzheng himself had commanded troops from a young age and won countless military honors, yet his love life was fraught with misfortune: three marriages, three losses.

No one knew he had been reborn. In his previous life, he had watched a slender figure perish in a sea of flames. He had also watched factional strife engulf the imperial court and the realm teeter on the brink of disaster, powerless to change anything.

Reborn, he laid his plans and purged his enemies. His first priority was to find the woman from the fire and kill her, but in the end, his heart softened and he saved her instead. If he wouldn’t kill her, then he would keep her by his side and protect her for the rest of her life.

An imperial decree of marriage threw all his plans into disarray.

The emperor carelessly played matchmaker and assigned Shen Zhiyi, a daughter of the Shen family, to him.

He gradually discovered that his seemingly delicate wife could make all kinds of novel pastries and understood the ways of business. She was also lively and straightforward, utterly unlike the indistinct, timid figure in his memories.

By the time he realized what was happening, the heart that had been frozen through two lifetimes had already, quietly and without his noticing, fallen for her.
