Yu Heng is the daughter of a Minister of Rites and Lady Huayang, yet she grew up far from home and suffered every hardship imaginable. There are three things she hates most in life: being poor, being poor, and being poor.
So when Shen Huan, the Embroidered Uniform Guard commander known as the “Jade-Faced Asura,” first scolds her for being coarse, then says she is connected to a major case and must be thoroughly investigated, and even ruins her chance of marrying the crown prince, she is so furious she wants to bite a handkerchief in her mind.
Who does this man think he is?!
This man deserves to die!
So when Shen Huan gives her a gold hairpin, Yu Heng suspects he's a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year. This man must have bad intentions. He definitely wants to harm her! She won't fall for it!
But the hairpin is so dazzling that her hand goes limp, and she takes it.
Then Shen Huan gives her a stack of house and land deeds.
Her hand goes limp again, and she takes those too.
When Shen Huan gives her the family jade pendant, now missing half its pieces, whispers every sweet word he can think of, and asks for her hand in marriage, Yu Heng's legs go weak and she falls to her knees.
She remembers: she was the one who sold the other half.
For ten taels of gold!
But faced with all this wealth and splendor, Yu Heng is ultimately dazzled.
It would be foolish not to take what's being offered!
*
Shen Huan, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was born into power. In his youth, he was carefree and full of spirit, but disaster struck and his family members died violent deaths. From then on, he shut his heart away and became taciturn.
He has three lifelong regrets.
First, his teacher died unjustly, unable to rest in peace. Second, a major case remains unsolved, and the past unresolved. Third, after being injured and rescued, he lost his jade pendant.
One day, Shen Huan wakes up to find that the world has changed.
He has lost his memory, which only goes back to the age of seventeen. To figure out what happened, he reads his daily journal and finds a name highlighted in red: Yu Heng.
She must be important. He decides to see what kind of person she is, so Shen Huan takes one look, then a second, a third... and countless more.
The more he looks, the more familiar and dear she seems.
Just one glance from her, and his bones turn to jelly.
On the day of the wedding, Shen Huan suddenly remembers everything. While he is still trying to decide what to do, a subordinate tells him: the bride left behind divorce papers and ran away!
*
“I remember now.”
Shen Huan speaks gently, but the young woman on the bed is too frightened to move. “My dear wife, you were so heartless. You left me just like that last time, too.”
“Are you going to leave again?”
Preorder: Reborn, She Kisses the Regent in Front of Everyone. If you're interested, have a look.
Here's the blurb:
Tang Li never expected to see a montage of her life before she died. She even saw her nemesis, Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan was granted a princely title despite having a different surname, and was allowed to wear a sword in the palace.
Handsome enough to rival Wei Jie, he was still a living King of Hell whom everyone feared.
The most harmless of the rumors about him were that he had killed his father and brother.
He had eighteen kinds of torture devices, three hundred kinds of cruel punishments, and a thousand ways to kill his enemies.
Since she was going to die anyway, Tang Li thought of a wish she had never fulfilled and simply kissed Luo Yuan.
Everyone's jaws dropped, and they began to wonder how many days she had left to live.
Tang Li said, “What are you looking at? So what if I kiss him? I could kiss him a thousand times, ten thousand times.”
It was her dream, and she made the rules.
Luo Yuan gave a cold laugh, the veins beneath his pale skin bulging as though he were enduring some kind of humiliation.
“Yes, Your Highness, the Princess.”
The Luo Yuan in her dream was just as ruthless as ever, as real as could be.
Tang Li was so frightened that she shut her eyes and waited for the dream to end.
On the first day, the dream did not end.
That night, treasures appeared out of nowhere in the Princess's residence. Tang Li said, “It would be great if ten chests of gold appeared tomorrow.”
The next day, the gold appeared out of thin air. Her maid: ???
On the third day, the dream still had not ended.
That night, the consort who had bullied Tang Li suddenly sobbed and apologized to her.
Tang Li said, “It would be great if my good-for-nothing royal brother showed up too.”
The next day, the Seventh Prince came of his own accord to apologize to Tang Li and offer his head on a platter. Her political enemies: ???
On the tenth day, the dream still had not ended.
Luo Yuan drew a clear line between himself and Tang Li, vowing never to see her again.
Tang Li said, “The heavens are on my side. But when will this dream end?”
That night, a remarkably handsome man appeared on Tang Li's bed
Luo Yuan pressed against her waist, his fingers slowly brushing her lips. “Have you had enough of your beautiful dream, Princess?”
His warm breath brushed her ear, his voice ominous. “Now it's my turn.”
Tang Li: ...?!
The officials learn the two are engaged: !!!
Later, Luo Yuan asks Tang Li, “Is it possible that you aren't dreaming, but have lived this life over again?”
Tang Li replies, “What are you talking about? If this weren't a dream, wouldn't you chop me into mincemeat for kissing you?”
Luo Yuan: ?
Tang Li counts on her fingers. “Besides, if this weren't a dream, how could I defeat the Empress Dowager, bring my royal brother to heel, quell the frontier, and get everything I want, all while enjoying a life of wealth and privilege? It's like I have divine help.”
Luo Yuan, with blood on his hands but nothing to show for it: “...”
Tang Li declares, “Dreaming is wonderful.”
Luo Yuan leans over her again, gritting out through his teeth, “...Wonderful. Just wonderful.”
