I Inherited the Marquis's Estate Through a Lucky Marriage

Lu You'an was a poor woman who died of illness and poverty, then was reborn in the womb of a marquis's household.

The good news: She was her parents' beloved only child.

The bad news: The Marquis's household was so poor that it was famous across Yanjing, and it owed tens of thousands of taels in debt.

Lu You'an had had enough of being poor. After binding herself to a System, she immediately went to the imperial merchant Wei family. "I am Lu You'an of the Marquis of Wei's household. I have come to ask you to marry me to bring your son good fortune."

"Miss Lu."

"Can you really save my son?"

The Wei family sent betrothal gifts and asked for her hand. They married the next day, and Lu You'an really did bring the man back from the brink of death.

Wei Changling had been sickly since childhood, but his intelligence earned him special permission to sit the imperial examinations despite his merchant status. He was the Wei family's hope of rising in the world.

When he was gravely ill and near death, he gained a wife who was supposed to bring him good fortune.

His wife loved money, so on their wedding night he gave her a thousand taels of gold.

His wife saved his life, and once he was well, he would make it up to her in bed.

Wei Changling knew he had fallen for his wife.

Who could have guessed that she would divorce him for another man?

They divorced.

The General's household treated Lu You'an terribly!

He swore to get her back. When tempting her with money failed, he cast aside his pride and used his looks to tempt her instead.

He returned to Lu You'an's side.

As her lover.

But Lu You'an got married again!!!

This time, when Wei Changling learned she had been forced into the marriage to bring someone good fortune, murderous rage surged through him. The men who had married Lu You'an without loving her deserved to die!

*

Lu You'an was the only child of the Marquis of Wei's household. From an early age, she had decided to take over and inherit the estate. She married only to build up her strength and claim her inheritance.

She saw these marriages to bring good fortune as transactions.

Who knew that she would go too far with the first one and deceive Wei Changling into falling for her?

She learned her lesson. With the second, she divorced quickly. But her good-fortune marriage worked too well, and a prince used the lives of everyone in her household to force her into marrying him.

That suited her just fine. She needed a stepping stone to become heir to the marquisate.

[Coming Soon] He Knows I Have a Betrothed

[Timid, gullible noblewoman who keeps a mistress x aloof, scheming heir who takes the initiative to pursue her]

Fuyu was born a noblewoman, but her life was hard because her mother was hopelessly romantic. She suffered more than her share of hardships.

Her mother had chosen Jiang Leyou as her future husband, but he kept putting off the wedding, year after year.

From the age of fifteen to twenty-eight, Jiang Leyou had refused to marry her for ten years. During that time, he recited poetry with a famous courtesan and escorted a princess on outings. Whenever Fuyu became the subject of gossip, Jiang Leyou always had a more important beauty to attend to.

Fortunately, Fuyu didn't love him.

But her mother was convinced Jiang Leyou was the best match for her. After failing to break off the engagement, Fuyu meekly followed Jiang Leyou's example and took a lover on Du'an Street.

Xie Changliu was cold and taciturn. Raised by the Duke of Anguo to be restrained and courteous, he fell in love with Fuyu at first sight, then suffered because she was already engaged.

Part of him hoped the engagement would go badly so Fuyu would marry him, while another part hoped her marriage would go smoothly and her husband would cherish her...

But the engagement had lasted ten years, and she had been left waiting for all of them.

Fuyu had become the oldest unmarried woman in the whole capital. Xie Changliu helped her, and, driven by his own feelings, advised her to break off the engagement.

Only after taking a lover did Fuyu realize that no matter how little a man said or how busy he was, if he wanted to spend time with her, he could always find something to talk about and make time for her.

She was so thoroughly charmed that she grew more and more devoted to her lover. She even sighed, "If only Changliu could marry me."

"...You don't love Jiang Leyou anymore?"

"I never loved him at all."

"Wait for me to marry you."

"I knew it. Changliu is the best young man in the world. He's nothing like Jiang Leyou or my father!"

Fuyu smiled alluringly, her eyes hazy, and threw herself into Xie Changliu's arms.

She thought Xie Changliu was just lying to comfort her. She knew her mother would never agree to end the engagement with the Jiang family. She was already bound to Jiang Leyou for life.

Only later did she learn that Xie Changliu had broken rule after rule for her. He had sent people to tempt Jiang Leyou, concealed his identity to become her lover, and coaxed her mother into agreeing to the divorce...

Her wedding date had passed.

But Xie Changliu would love her forever.

[Coming Soon] The Marshal Gave Birth to Two Daughters for Me

A ridiculously cute heroine with a full-on attack mode.

After failing to ascend to immortality, Ye Lingxi became a refugee among the stars and was being helped by the Third Army to find a marriage partner.

The good news: Her mental strength tested at 3S+, and marrying Xie Chen, the Third Army's marshal, would instantly solve her identity problem.

The bad news: The lightning tribulation she had faced during her failed ascension had ravaged her. Her 3S+ mental strength was only for show, and she couldn't soothe Xie Chen's crumbling mental sea.

Ye Lingxi ran away from the wedding.

But Xie Chen caught her tiny, grain-sized sheep form and kept her tucked against his chest every day.

So much for escaping the marriage.

Yet the entire Federation firmly believed Xie Chen loved her.

Ye Lingxi: Stupid spacefaring people. Xie Chen sent people to hunt me down just yesterday!

Later, Ye Lingxi discovered that a little flower had mysteriously sprouted from Xie Chen's head.

The whole Federation marveled at Xie Chen's devotion. Even after being abandoned at the altar, he was having children for her.

Finally realizing she had been a terrible partner and that she had two children on the way, Ye Lingxi refused to keep being a soft, adorable sheep who did nothing but eat and wait to die. With a wave of her hand, she summoned lightning that wiped out all the insectoids on a barren planet.

Xie Chen was a sucker for cute things.

At first,

he had his eye on Ye Lingxi, whom he had rescued from a barren planet. He personally tested her mental strength just to get close to her and become her marriage partner.

Later...

Ye Lingxi had his children, then ran away from their wedding and deceived him by turning into a sheep.

Whenever he got angry, one look at the tiny, adorable sheep made him forgive Ye Lingxi in an instant. So on the day the insectoids attacked, all he wanted was for Ye Lingxi, who had nothing but an adorable appearance, to get away.

Ye Lingxi refused to leave.

Lightning blazed that day, and the insectoids kept dying. He was lucky enough to see for himself just how powerful one could become by breaking through the limits of mental strength.
