Marrying Two Dashing Men

[New story: Reborn, I Won't Marry That Faithless Man. Now underway. A melodramatic rebirth story of hatred and tragic love: an aloof new emperor x an innocent, spoiled princess.] [Blurb for this story: dual personalities + marriage before love, long-laid plans x sweet and innocent.] Crown Prince Sheng Zhanhe was a man of concealed strength and outstanding bearing. As he approached his twentieth birthday, he took a daughter of the Zhao family as his wife. On their wedding night, Miyu lifted her beautiful face and called sweetly, "Your Highness." The man before her had handsome features and deep eyes. He leaned down and kissed her lips. "Sha'er, just call me Zhanlang." The red curtains fell, their shadows mingling with the flickering candlelight across the floor, stirring up a tender longing. After their wedding, Sheng Zhanhe doted on Miyu beyond measure. But sometimes, he would ask her, "Sha'er, do you like me more, or my younger brother?" Meeting his deep gaze, Miyu trembled inside and answered obediently, "Sha'er naturally likes Zhanlang." Sheng Zhanhe laughed in a husky voice and whispered in her ear, "Liar. You like my younger brother more. You wanted to marry him, didn't you?" Miyu's eyes brimmed with tears, but she didn't dare tell him the truth. "Zhanlang..." * When she was fourteen, Miyu happened to save Prince Qi, Sheng Longhe, from certain death. The man was carefree and dashing, with a bright, easy smile. He went out of his way to be kind and get close to her. Before she knew it, Miyu had fallen for him, still too young to understand her feelings. But in the end, she married into the Eastern Palace and became his elder brother's wife. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, on a pleasure boat, Prince Qi circled an arm around the Crown Princess's waist and brushed his lips against her cheek. He murmured, "It's been months, sister-in-law. I hope you've been well. Are you... happy with my brother?" Miyu trembled and whispered, not daring to push him away. "Y-Your Highness..." "Wrong," the man's scorching kiss fell on her. "You should call me Tenth Brother." Miyu bit her lip, fighting back her grievances as she sobbed softly, "Brother Long..." But it shouldn't have been like this. He, the Crown Prince and Prince Qi, Sheng Zhanhe and Sheng Longhe, were supposed to be the same person... * The Crown Prince and Prince Qi were twin brothers. But the younger brother had died young, and the elder brother could not accept the truth. He became delusional and played both roles himself. Since Miyu loved Prince Qi, she naturally had to marry the Crown Prince. She received twice the affection, but also twice the jealousy. The Crown Prince was jealous that she loved his younger brother, while Prince Qi was jealous that she had married his elder brother. In the bedroom, she was always tormented over this, and could only call out softly, pleading for his tenderness: "Husband..." * Both leads have only ever been with each other. The male lead has an atypical split personality. The elder brother's personality takes center stage in the first half of the novel, and the younger brother's in the second half. The male lead's brother died when he was very young. Whether he is the Crown Prince or Prince Qi, it is the male lead himself, and it is the male lead who develops feelings for the female lead. [Blurb for the new story Reborn, I Won't Marry That Faithless Man] Qinlan died a lonely death in her previous life. Though she was the beloved jewel of the emperor and empress, she was frail from childhood and destined to live a short life. Her husband, Xie Fengzhou, loved someone else and never touched her after they married. Later, Xie Fengzhou ascended the throne. Braving a heavy snowfall, he welcomed the woman he loved into the palace. Qinlan became a princess of a fallen dynasty and mourned her family alone in bleak solitude. Reborn in a single day, Qinlan returned to the moment she was betrothed. She was still the pampered Princess Jiashu, and Xie Fengzhou was still the dazzling heir to the Prince of Yi. She rose abruptly and bowed. "Jiashu and the heir share only the affection of siblings. Father, please withdraw your decree!" The handsome man seated nearby immediately darkened his gaze. * Everyone knew that Princess Jiashu was devoted to the heir to the Prince of Yi. No one expected her to change her mind overnight, reject the marriage, and begin associating with other eligible young men. The princess was beautiful as a flower and fair as jade. Though frail, her delicate charm remained undimmed, making countless young men fall for her. During a summer night outing to watch the dragon boats, Qinlan was attacked and fell unconscious. When she woke, the faithless husband from her previous life was waiting beside her bed, gazing at her pensively. "You've been remarkably skilled at charming people lately, Princess. So many men have become your admirers." His long fingers caressed her face, lingering on her petal-soft lips, a hint of danger in his touch. "Are you really so unwilling to marry me?" Qinlan looked at the man, handsome as a piece of jade but cold and heartless, and all the memories of her previous life came rushing back, stirring her heart. But the times were turbulent. If the heir to the Prince of Yi, a proven military commander, were not there to hold the realm together, the country would already have fallen apart. Though she wanted to win over the worthy and capable, she couldn't afford to offend Xie Fengzhou as he was now. She could only swallow her anger and smile gently. "Cousin, you've misunderstood. Ning'er has never thought that." Before she could bring Xie Fengzhou down for good, she would have to learn to use him, just as he had used her in her previous life. She would use him to quell the rebellion and secure the realm, and also... uncover the truth about everything that had happened in her previous life.
