The Princess Is Safe and Sound (Reborn)

[I spent five years writing the complete novel and revised the plot many times along the way. It differs greatly from pirated versions, so please support the official release.] When Jiashan opened her eyes, she found herself back at fifteen, in an age of dazzling splendor. That year, she was still the proud eldest legitimate princess of the Great Liang. Her younger brother had not yet been forced to take his own life, and she had not yet been pierced through the heart by a sword wielded by her husband, Zhan Shaoying. At fifteen, Jiashan was radiant as spring blossoms and bright as the autumn moon, with admirers as numerous as fish crossing a river. One day, the emperor summoned Jiashan before him and asked gently, "Among all the outstanding men at court, is there not a single one who has captured your heart?" Jiashan answered without batting an eye, "No." That day, Zhan Shaoying's uncle, Lord Zhan, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, happened to be on night duty. Lord Zhan said nothing when he heard Jiashan's answer. But under cover of darkness, the cool and dignified Lord Zhan turned around and cornered Jiashan in the great hall. He stared at her, his gaze burning. "Why did you say no?" A reborn princess seeking revenge x her cool, dignified younger uncle by marriage. No nitpicking over historical accuracy, please.

Beautiful as a flower and carrying a fortune, she was promised as a second wife to the scholar Lu Wan. Lu Wan was handsome and graceful, gentle as jade, and a provincial champion. He was perfect in every way, except for his only son, Lu Cheng, who was arrogant, unruly, and untamed. Everyone thought Ji Mingyi's marriage into the Lu family would leave her and her stepson at each other's throats. But this was what their relationship actually looked like: "Ninth Son, why are you gripping so hard? You've crushed my bracelet." "Don't be angry, Ayi," the usually arrogant young man said with a good-natured smile. "I'll have you a better one made." "Don't call me Ayi," Ji Mingyi glared at him. "I'm your mother!" "Hmph." Lu Cheng sneered, his expression shifting as he stared at her. "I already have a mother. You can only be my Ayi." Ji Mingyi: ...Everyone else transmigrates, so why do I feel like the heroine of a stepmother romance?! Later, she no longer had to worry about it.
