[The Ordinary Things of Life, Entrusted to Spring and Autumn]

In her previous life, Wang Lingyi first became crown princess, and later became empress.

In this life, she has decided to skip straight to the end and become empress from the start.

Unfortunately, the emperor who once loved her to the depths of his soul no longer remembers her.

So be it. This time, she will deign to seduce him.

Xiao Dingyuan could not understand why the proud, self-possessed daughter of the Wang family was so eager to get close to him.

She was young and radiant, while he was many years her senior and the uncle of the man she was betrothed to. How could he possibly be a good match for her?

That was, until he had a long, vivid dream.

In that dream, he arranged her marriage to the crown prince, sending her into the Eastern Palace and condemning her to a lifetime of suffering.

After waking, Xiao Dingyuan first crossed Wang Lingyi's name off the list of candidates for crown princess.

As for the crown prince, the nephew in whom he had once placed such high hopes, he would see whether the boy still followed the same path after losing his protection.

Wang Lingyi discovered that the emperor, who had once been cold-hearted and dismissive toward her, seemed lately to be flirting with her in subtle ways.

Unable to bear it any longer, she said, "Your Majesty, please behave yourself."

Xiao Dingyuan leaned down to look at her.

"How much longer is the empress going to stay angry with me?"

[The two are reborn at different times. The heroine is reborn from the start, while the hero regains his memories of his previous life midway through the story.]

[Previous life: former crown princess x emperor; the heroine is not a virgin, the hero is.]

[This life: proud, resilient noblewoman x cold, restrained emperor; 1v1, both virgins.]

Coming soon: "Bent Jasmine"

[An overbearing patriarch and his little jasmine]

The year floods ravaged Chongzhou, Mo Niang was thirteen. Separated from her parents, she fled alone.

On a whim, Pei Xuanyu took pity on her and rescued her from a pile of corpses.

But as the busy head of the Pei family, he had no time to raise a child, so he promptly handed her over to the secret guard known as Seventeen.

Mo Niang was raised by Seventeen. He taught her to read and write, taught her how to wield a knife, and even brought her novel toys from beyond the mountains after completing his missions.

Until one day, Seventeen failed a mission and was forced to kneel in the courtyard and take his punishment.

Mo Niang could bear it no longer. She rushed over, threw her arms around him, and wept uncontrollably.

At the end of the covered walkway, the head of the Pei family, who had intended to bring Seventeen some medicine, stopped in his tracks.

Watching the girl, grown up without his noticing, sob in a man's arms, he felt for the first time that it was...

Quite an eyesore.

[Setting: a chaotic age in which warlords vie for supremacy.]

[Sweet, delicate little jasmine x patriarch of a feudal clan]

[Age gap, forced marriage and possessive pursuit (more or less), 1v1, both virgins.]
