I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

Look here! (Sane and cold noble girl x crazy and scheming prince, traditional ancient house fight + double cruelty + sweet pet) Jiang Yule died at the hands of her husband's concubine. I thought I would end up in ashes, but I never wanted to be reborn with hatred. Once we go back to eighteen years ago, we will marry a scumbag again at the beginning! How could she agree? After lifting the hijab, getting out of the sedan chair, and before even uttering the words "I want to break off the engagement", I heard that a happy event in the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion had been marred, and that the powerful old Marquis of Wuding was assassinated in the wedding hall? Naturally, the bride was not married, but she also lost another life, and the destruction of the Qi family was just the beginning. No one who has been stained with the blood of the Jiang family can escape. Meng Yan, who was hiding in the dark and taking action, felt that this little woman had changed after her rebirth. In the past twelve years of being together in the mirror of the past life, she has always been virtuous and courteous. Why is she shouting and killing every day now? However, when he looked at her bright and generous face with a smile of revenge, he felt that it would be good to take her back and become a princess? So, Meng Yan took the name of Cui Shiyan, a well-known dandy in the capital city, and before Jiang Yule broke off the engagement with the Wuding Marquis Mansion, he stood at the door of the Jiang Mansion and spoke impassionedly. "Cui Shiyan, the youngest son of the Cui family, wants to marry Jiang Yule, the third daughter of the Jiang family. I would like to marry Qin and Se, and we will be together for the rest of our lives." ---- Jiang Family: The Cui family has always behaved well, why did they give birth to such a libertine... Qi Family: Are you taking advantage of my illness to kill me? Cui family: This son has been expelled from the house. Don't ask, you just don't know!

The ancient sayings with the background of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms respect history more, so there will be no bloody plot.
