The Reborn Crown Princess Wants to Be a Lazy Fish

Next book: "Dreaming of Xizhou" An anthology of strange tales set in an alternate Tang dynasty Weibo: @Xie Lisheng In her previous life, Shen Yiqiu fought the white moonlight, battled the cinnabar mole, and cleared one hurdle after another. She clawed her way up from a fallen noble family to become empress, and finally outlived that bastard of a man to become empress dowager. Then she slipped, hit her head on the emperor's coffin, and returned to the age of fifteen, before she was married off. Shen Yiqiu opened her eyes and realized she was back at the starting point. So furious that she shut her eyes again and rolled over: Whoever cares? This old lady isn't serving anyone this time. Yuchi Yue looked back at the mortal world one last time, only to see the unpopular empress smash her head against his coffin and die. Deeply moved, Yuchi Yue decided that in his next life, he would be just a little nicer to the woman who had loved him so desperately... On the day they first met in their previous life, Yuchi Yue waited and waited, but she never showed up. Shen Yiqiu had stood him up. A few days later, Shen Yiqiu began discussing a marriage with the son of the Minister of Rites. A few more days later, Shen Yiqiu was about to exchange betrothal gifts with him. Yuchi Yue: ???!!! Yuchi Yue: Woof, woof, woof! Honey, look at me. Is there still a chance to save this? Shen Yiqiu: Oh. (Go lie somewhere else and stop getting in the way of my lounging.) A story about a bastard who needs educating, a woman who has no interest in educating him, and a bastard who has no choice but to teach himself. Warnings and notes: 1. Please don't mention any celebrities or public figures in the comments. 2. This is an alternate setting, very, very loosely based on anything real. 3. A groveling romance, [No Male Lead Swap]. [Pre-release Blurb] I was just going out to fish like any ordinary person. Who knew I'd accidentally wander into a world called Xizhou? Humans, demons, and ghosts all live here. Strange events happen one after another, and danger lurks around every corner. And as if that weren't enough, I ran into the last person I wanted to see in this life: my former childhood sweetheart and fiancé, who had gone all the way to the capital, passed the imperial examinations, risen to great heights, and cast me aside as if I were nothing. Even worse, he'd lost his memory. He remembered everything up until the night before he left home three years ago, and had completely forgotten that we'd broken off our engagement. After all these years apart, he still had that same aloof, cold expression. I wanted to scratch up his handsome face right there, but then the monsters came, so I had no choice but to hold my nose and team up with him to survive. We spent forty-nine days and nights in Xizhou. That was the last time I ever saw him. 1. The main story is not told in first person. 2. The male lead is not a scumbag. 3. Happy ending. Theme: Love makes us better versions of ourselves.
