All That's Left of Sheng

Heroine’s Perspective

In public, she is a princess of noble birth. At home, she is a tool for political marriage, unloved by either parent.

At her mother’s birthday banquet, her father bypasses her second older sister and chooses her to marry Chen Wang of Yuan Cheng.

Even the people of Xing Chu know that Chen Wang is frail, cruel, and unworthy of her. Life after marrying him would be no different from living in hell.

She refuses to go to hell, so she runs away from the wedding.

After running away, she falls for a gentle, refined young man, only to discover that he is the very person she was supposed to marry.

She ran for nothing.

Hero’s Perspective

He is his master’s finest pawn, spending ten years plotting and stirring up the imperial court.

In public, he is Chen Wang, a sickly prince despised by the officials. In secret, he is a ruthless, hard-hearted madman who gambles with his own life.

He lives in hell. All he sees is ugliness, and everyone around him is a pathetic clown.

My other ongoing novel, "Transmigrated as the Male Lead’s Fussy Second Sister-in-Law"

Su Qingyun transmigrates into a farming novel as the fussy second sister-in-law, who gets thrown out after cheating on her husband.

In the original story, to highlight the protagonist’s halo, a string of tragedies befalls the family after the second sister-in-law marries in. The male lead’s talented eldest brother has his right hand broken and never recovers. The second brother, who knows military strategy and is skilled in martial arts, joins the army to support the family and vanishes without a trace for five years. The clever and tactful third brother is framed and imprisoned. Their younger sister is taken advantage of, then abandoned while pregnant.

After the lucky heroine marries into the Qiao family, the male lead passes the imperial examinations with top honors and becomes the top scholar.

The eldest brother pulls himself together and learns to write with his left hand; the second brother makes a dramatic return and is named a great general; the third brother is cleared of wrongdoing, released, and becomes a famous imperial merchant; and the younger sister finds happiness, too.

As for the second sister-in-law, after the Qiao family casts her out, she lives worse than a beggar and eventually dies miserably in the street.

When Su Qingyun first transmigrates, she is a pitiful girl with no birth mother, spoiled into ruin by her stepmother and bullied by her stepsister.

There are so many people in the Su family that she has to share a room with three cousins. She never gets enough to eat or wear.

Fortunately, she acquires a learning System. Every time she maxes out one skill, she unlocks the beginner level of another.

Cooking, needlework, medicine, martial arts, military strategy, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting...
