After Selling His Wife for Glory, His White Moonlight Turned Dark

Mei Rang transmigrates into a cannon-fodder character who is framed by the protagonist and dies riddled with arrows. Her beautiful and clever child bride, Wen Fei, will later be claimed by the protagonist and become one of his many harem members. To escape the fate of a ruined family and a broken home, Mei Rang returns from the army and strikes first before the protagonist can make his move. Using her life-saving favor as leverage, she forces Wen Fei, who seems bewitched and refuses to marry anyone but the protagonist, to marry her, severing their connection for good. Everyone outside condemns her for stealing another's love and forcing a marriage, tearing apart a perfect couple. They say a lowly soldier like her is no match for Wen Fei, who came first in the provincial examination. After their wedding, they share a bed but not their hearts, treating each other with stiff politeness and distance. Mei Rang, too, thinks a forcibly picked melon can't be sweet. Surely Wen Fei hates her domineering ways, which is why she still meets the protagonist in secret. It isn't until Prince Yong comes to the capital to find his daughter that Mei Rang realizes no one will ever force Wen Fei to become another man's concubine again. Unwilling to keep tormenting them both, Mei Rang presents Wen Fei with a divorce agreement and lets her go. But she had planned for everything, except Wen Fei's feelings. And she had underestimated Wen Fei's hatred. In Wen Fei's eyes, Mei Rang's insistence on marrying only her, and the deep devotion behind it, were all lies. Her helpless, bashful affection was an act. Even their awkward marriage was nothing more than a bargaining chip, a way for Mei Rang to exploit her noble birth and advance her own career. She hated the deception of the woman who shared her bed, and hated even more Mei Rang's self-righteous resolve to let her go. When they meet again, Mei Rang has risen in rank and status, and matchmakers are practically breaking down her door. She is soon to remarry. That very night, the newly titled and exalted princess has her forcibly dragged back to the inner residence. Reeking of wine, Wen Fei straddles her and forcibly pours the liquor in her hand down Mei Rang's throat. Her eyes are wild with reckless madness. "I want to see how many honest words you have left after you get drunk, you who keep insisting everything you do is for my own good." "Isn't this career, this path to wealth and power, what you want most? If I insist on keeping you confined in this inner residence, serving only me for the rest of your life, what will you do?" Coming soon: After the Mission Fails, My Aloof Widowed Sister-in-Law Becomes Obsessive Zhao Wanzhuo and her widowed sister-in-law, Yan Wanning, have depended on each other for three years. Just as Yan Wanning is about to remarry, Zhao Wanzhuo gets bound to an evil System that orders her to win over her sister-in-law. The System tells her that her sister-in-law's new husband is a hypocrite. He will not only seize the Zhao and Yan family fortunes, but also sell Yan Wanning to a brothel, driving one of them to death and the other to madness. To save the sister-in-law who has been so kind to her, Zhao Wanzhuo has no choice but to drug and "seduce" her, forcing her to take responsibility and breaking off Yan Wanning's engagement. Yan Wanning is filled with humiliation and resistance over this absurd marriage. Zhao Wanzhuo can't bear to hurt her any further, but the System's missions are impossibly harsh. Every task it assigns pushes her past the limits of her moral principles. After realizing that the damn System has been manipulating her, Zhao Wanzhuo lives on the verge of a breakdown every day. Before she can go mad, her sister-in-law's mother, who has been missing for years, and Zhao Wanzhuo's "dead" older sister suddenly return home as high-ranking officials. The two join forces to force a divorce and drive Zhao Wanzhuo out of town, finally ending this forbidden entanglement. Later, Yan Wanning follows her mother to the capital and becomes the lofty daughter of the chief minister. Everyone assumes that their immoral affair has long since faded into the past. But for fifteen days every month, behind the vermilion gates of the chief minister's residence, a secret world of sensuality and suffocating desire unfolds. On the embroidered bed, Zhao Wanzhuo's ankles are firmly tied to the bedposts, and her whole body is flushed an unnatural red. Looking down at her from above, Yan Wanning sheds her usual dignified, cool composure and presses Zhao Wanzhuo's hand against her smooth, flat stomach. "Weren't you in such a hurry to have two children in three years? Why have you gone quiet now?" Theme: Never abandon anyone, never give up.
