The Great Shamaness (Reborn)

On the day Qin Muling was sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, she saw her fiancé, specially summoned by the tyrant to witness her execution.

For his fiancée, who had died in his place, the refined young gentleman felt nothing but regret, not love. He blamed her, the convenient tool who kept other women away, for dying too soon.

Using her own blood as a medium, Qin Muling cast a curse and returned to life in a different body, twenty years in the past.

At that time, Xiao Zhao, the eldest son of the Prince of Huaichuan, was as radiant as the sun and moon. Countless women wanted to marry him.

Yet he always said that he would wait for the eldest daughter of the Qin family to grow up, then marry into the Qin family. Everyone envied his devotion.

Only Qin Muling found it ridiculous. The young man was still as insincere as ever: full of schemes, with no genuine feelings.

Very well, this time you can be my “shield.”

At just thirteen, you’re already breathtakingly handsome, attracting everyone’s attention. And though you have a face as gentle as jade, your heart is as hard as stone. Who else could I take advantage of?

Xiao Zhao: The woman I love is the eldest daughter of the Qin family. Other women, don’t bother me.

Qin Muling: The only man I love is Xiao Zhao. Other men, don’t come bother me.

Everyone: You’re both in love with each other. It would be strange if you didn’t get married!

Xiao Zhao: ...It’s not out of the question.

Qin Muling: ?

My upcoming novel: A Merchant’s Daughter Is Hard to Marry

Lin Zhishuang is an antiques restorer. She has such nimble hands that the ancient artifacts she repairs are almost indistinguishable from the originals.

Her work has made her very fond of ancient culture and antiques, but she never imagined that one day she would transmigrate to ancient times and become the daughter of a modest household.

In her previous life, she came from a comfortable family, but had ambitions above her station. She looked down on families poorer than hers, and thought families of moderate means weren’t good enough either. She only wanted to marry up, into a wealthy and powerful family.

But a girl from a modest family had little chance of marrying into an elite one, so she still wasn’t married at eighteen. She had become the laughingstock of Linshan Town.

Just as her former self swore in public that she would marry into a wealthy and powerful family, she took a fall. That single fall brought the modern-day Lin Zhishuang here.

Everyone waited to laugh at Lin Zhishuang, but she became a renowned master restorer of precious objects and made friends with many high-ranking officials and nobles.

Everyone sneered: “It’s nothing but a way to draw attention to herself.”

They waited and waited, expecting Lin Zhishuang to fall into ruin. Instead, they heard that she had befriended a stern-faced general with an illustrious military record, and had ultimately married into the general’s household.

The general rose through the ranks, eventually making Lin Zhishuang the wife of a first-rank Defender of the State Duke.

Everyone: “...”
