A New Take on an Old Tale

The Cowherd steals the Weaver Girl's clothes, so she has no choice but to marry him? This time, the Weaver Girl personally punishes the thief.

Dong Yong sells himself to pay for his father's burial, moving the Seventh Fairy to marry him? This time, the Seventh Fairy simply helps him get rich.

Hua Mulan wins a battle, only to go home in the end? This time, she claims an official post.

Liu Lanzhi is divorced and throws herself into a clear pond? No, she chooses to sell cloth and support herself.

Du Shiniang is sold and ends up drowning herself? No, this time she lives a wonderful life and is granted the title of a noblewoman.

A collection of stories reimagining historical tales, in which every girl gets a different ending.

Let's move away from stories that eroticize dead women. Girls deserve to live.

Since these are separate stories, some have no romantic pairing while others do. I've chosen the romance tag, but not every girl will have a partner.
