Stealing a Concubine (Dual Transmigration)

Chen Yun transmigrated into another body, but she never expected there to be another soul living in it too.

Worse still, they loved different people.

The original owner loved her powerful minister of a husband so much that she drugged him to force him into marriage. She was willing to have her reputation ruined and be reviled throughout the city for his sake. But on their wedding night, her husband took the maid who came with her as part of her dowry into the bridal chamber.

Chen Yun never cared what other people said about her. She cared about only one thing: repay her debts, get the divorce papers, and leave.

At a banquet, Chen Yun ran into her husband's mortal enemy, Meng Hezhi. He kissed her forcefully right in front of her husband. After that, he pursued her relentlessly, vowing to make her marry him instead.

Chen Yun thought Meng Hezhi was using her to humiliate her husband. There couldn't be any real feelings involved. Besides, Meng Hezhi looked eight-tenths like her dead boyfriend.

An affair? A substitute? She didn't care. When it was time to leave, she would leave all the same.

Later, the Chen family fell into crisis, and Chen Yun had no choice but to keep entangling herself with Meng Hezhi. She left decisively, without even saying goodbye.

Meng Hezhi charged into the Pei residence like a madman and, in front of everyone, hoisted Chen Yun over his shoulder. No one dared stop the living King of Hell. Even her husband silently took a step back.

Behind red curtains, every door and window was sealed. The aphrodisiac incense filled the room for three days and three nights.

Chen Yun drifted through their stolen pleasure without a shred of guilt. Meng Hezhi bent close to her ear, sounding terribly aggrieved. "Don't leave me. I'll be good."

What Chen Yun didn't know then was that her boyfriend had also transmigrated here, becoming someone who had originally had nothing to do with her. He had the surname Meng and the given name Hezhi.

But at the banquet where they first met, her boyfriend recognized her soul.

[Reading Guide]

1. The heroine has one body and two souls; two romance storylines share the same body. Not a clean romance, and the characters are not perfect.

2. Content warning! Includes infidelity, mistaken identity involving a substitute, coercive relationships, and characters with low moral standards. No one gets redeemed.

3. An alternate-history Northern Song dynasty setting, happy ending, serious drama.

4. Because of the heroine's identity, the male lead has little page time early on.

5. Not a strong female lead story, nor a hard-core political scheming or household-intrigue story. Purely an indulgent read, not brainy.

Theme: I long to know your heart, and will not betray your love.
