   {Double purity, strong personalities, ancient Chinese setting, political intrigue, revenge, arranged marriage, love after marriage} A spoiled and arrogant princess, a cold-blooded and ruthless minister—an unexpected arranged marriage brings Feng Yuan and Jiang Yu together. Just when everyone expects to see their post-marital mishaps, things begin to go wrong. Feng Yuan knows very well that only by wearing a mask in the eyes of the world can she hide her true intentions. And that arranged marriage was her long-planned scheme. Jiang Yu harbors a secret love, someone he knows is impossible but still wants to get close to, and beneath his cold exterior lies absolute loyalty to Feng Yuan. A seemingly unreliable but actually incredibly reliable female lead versus a seemingly cold but actually loyal male lead—it's a particularly good story, highly recommended. Both leads are very strong, especially the female lead, who is incredibly resourceful.

The noble lady is just one of my identities, but I actually have my own power. 🌸 The second book is completely about how a transmigrated woman can't possibly fight against a noble lady. The ending of the story is the breaking of my shackles, and this is your final song. ✅ The third book is about a female version of a domineering CEO, no dragging and very good. 🍅 The fourth book is about a carefree princess and a cunning crown prince.
