After My Wife Was Poisoned, She Stopped Loving Me

The thing Yan Mei regrets most in her life is marrying her ideal man, Liang Yucheng, the man who later raised her from a fallen bandit's daughter to the wife of the chief minister.

Reborn, she decides to leave the past behind, refuse to marry him no matter what, and devote herself to her family and their bandit stronghold.

But in this life, that man seems even more capable and powerful than before.

He saves her parents and the stronghold, all of whom died and were wiped out in her last life, and even wins over her three older brothers.

Later, her whole family happily marries her off to Liang Yucheng as a reward without even asking Yan Mei.

Yan Mei, forced back into his arms: QWQ No, I can't give in. I'll act like a temptress, make trouble, argue with the whole world, disgust him, and force him to divorce me!

What she doesn't know is that after she died in her last life, he followed her all the way down the road to the underworld. No matter how recklessly she behaves, he will always open his arms to her.

There is a kind of poison in this world that can instantly heighten a person's sensitivity. But if that sensitivity goes too far, it can backfire, making someone who was once oblivious never believe that a person who truly loves her really does love her.

For Liu Yanmei, Liang Yucheng has covered his hands in blood, laid waste to everything in his path, and endured the fires of hell. She still doesn't believe him.

Yan Mei: Wake up. You don't love me. You're just cold-natured and don't like being around strange women, so you settled for spending your life with me.

Liang Yucheng: Ever since Madam was poisoned, she has lost her true self and stopped loving me. No, I can't keep acting cold anymore...

Please add The Nemesis Is Actually Coveting Me to your reading list

Si Si Que, the youngest daughter of the King of Chu, has dressed as a boy since childhood. She followed her royal parents to Qi as a hostage for eight years.

Ji Yichang, the sickly Crown Prince of Qi, so frail that he can barely take three breaths between steps, and Si Si Que have disliked each other since childhood.

Whenever Si Si Que sets her sights on a carved bone figurine, a painted pottery piece, or a famous sword, Crown Prince Chang takes it away in an instant.

The same happens to the fighting rooster she takes a liking to. Before it can even crow, Crown Prince Chang orders someone to seize it.

Even the fine clothes, skirts, hairpins, and pearl ornaments she secretly collects are things Crown Prince Chang wants...

At last, her eight years as a hostage are nearly over, and Si Si Que is happily preparing to return to Chu with her royal parents.

But... Crown Prince Ji Yichang's illness is worsening, and he looks ready to die.

Well, if he's sick, he's sick. It has nothing to do with Si Si Que. At most, she can dust off her hands, bow to his bedchamber a few times, and burn some incense before leaving.

But the King of Qi issues a secret decree, detains the King and Queen of Chu again, and threatens Si Si Que: If you want to save them, marry the Crown Prince first, then divorce him!

It turns out the King of Qi has known all along that she is a woman!

Si Si Que says: Getting a divorce is easy. The problem is... Ji Yichang hates her so much that she first has to get him to agree to marry her!

Later, Si Si Que finally realizes she was wrong. The opposite is true: getting Ji Yichang to marry her is easy, but divorcing him is harder than reaching the heavens!

Later still, after Ji Yichang seizes the throne, takes absolute power, and dominates the land, shaking all eight states, Chu next door forms a pact with Qi to ensure eternal friendship. Si Si Que is the only woman he allows to live in the palace's inner quarters after clearing them out, leaving the vast compound overgrown with weeds!

He keeps her carefully in his bedchamber, personally serving her tea and meals every day, clinging so close she wants to kick him. That's when she finally learns that his frailty all those years was an act!

Since childhood, Ji Yichang has kept a deeply buried, rather shameful secret: he likes that arrogant, domineering boy from Chu. He likes him so much that he can barely suppress his feelings, forcing himself to hate him. But one day, the truth comes out, and the person he loves willingly throws himself into his arms...

He gives a cold laugh: Now that he's pampered in my arms, does he think I can let him go so easily?! Does he really think Young Master Chang was raised with medicine jars in his arms?

Ongoing fantasy romance: The Demon Consort Transmigrated into a Showbiz Novel as the Female Supporting Character

Tanji was a poor fisherman's daughter who rose above the many dazzling noblewomen through her seductive charms. Historians recorded her in later generations as a controversial demon consort.

After Tanji dies, she transmigrates into a showbiz romance novel as a troublesome female supporting character.

This troublesome supporting character exists to be thoroughly face-slapped by the Mary Sue heroine.

When Tanji first gets this script, she hisses and curses: "I was a woman who fought off the harem's three palaces and six courts, outlasted the empress, and nearly coaxed that dog emperor into dying so I could take the throne myself. And you expect me to grovel before this fool?"

When following the plot:

Tanji is a brainless, pretty little thing in showbiz who buys her way into starring roles and loves to show off and court disaster. The moment she appears, she's supposed to sabotage the heroine's clothes out of jealousy, only to get exposed and face-slapped by the heroine, winning the heroine and male lead plenty of fans and attention in the process.

But Tanji gives a cold laugh and disdainfully puts away the "itching powder" in her hand.

The experts from backstage come to examine the clothes and find that the substance on the heroine's outfit isn't an irritant at all. It's just a refreshing agent to cover up her body odor...

When following the romance plot:

The male lead and a group of handsome, wealthy male supporting characters repeatedly lose faith in the heroine, who should be kind and clever and work her way up from the bottom.

Meanwhile, the female supporting character, who used to be coy and affected, gradually becomes alluring and captivating.

Tanji says she only wants to follow the leveling-up route. She's not interested in mooning over this bunch of pretty boys.

She casually takes the hand of a scruffy, bearded street vendor who often squats under an overpass smoking, then gives him a soul-stealing look. "Actually... the person I really like is just a street vendor!"

Tanji doesn't know that this street vendor is the future villain who will monopolize the entire real estate, film and television, and smart AI industries five years from now.

Tanji sighs in frustration. I just want to be a female lead who doesn't have a romance plot. Is that really so hard?
