    🌺🌵Beautiful ancient romance novels: 1. Shi Buyu was born smiling. Rumors in the capital said she was a jinx. Sitting by the window, Shi Buyu laughed. A jinx? Then she'd better live up to that reputation. 2. One day, she was pestered by Xie Sanye, who said he had a demon in his heart. Yan Sanhe: She doesn't care about the affairs of the living. Xie Sanye: They all say I'll die young, just consider it a pre-determined fate. 3. Jiang Mianmian transmigrated. Her father was cunning and treacherous with a scholarly face; her mother was ruthless with a benevolent face; her eldest brother was seemingly simple but cunning; and her second sister was selfish and sharp-tongued.
