Husband, Does Face-Slapping Hurt? (Transmigrated into a Book)

My new novel, The Crown Princess in Exile, is now available. Please add it to your collection.

A transmigrated woman who adapts to the situation x a reborn man who's shrewd and domineering

After transmigrating into a book, Xiao Ru becomes a despised cannon-fodder character: her mother died young, her father doesn't care for her, and she's in dire straits. She even uses underhanded means to sleep with the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongyi's household. After marrying him, her husband neglects her, her in-laws make things difficult for her, and she eventually dies in childbirth.

Before she transmigrated into the book, Xiao Ru's greatest dream was to become financially independent and live a carefree life.

She starts pooling her resources.

In the original story, the heir to the Marquis of Yongyi never marries and eventually rises to become Minister of War.

She makes her decision on the spot: this man is a keeper!

With such a hidden gem by her side, how could she fail to make money?

Mu Xiuyuan is upright and loyal all his life, vowing to defend the imperial city to the death. To him, romance is nothing but a burden. What's more, his wife got together with him by such an dishonorable means. He despises her from the bottom of his heart, and after they marry, he devotes himself to his official duties and rarely comes home.

Then one day, he hears that she died in childbirth. He clenches his fists and never marries again.

He never expects to die on the battlefield and wake up back on the third day of his marriage. After restraining himself again and again, he tells the woman before him,

"I can make sure you live comfortably, but I won't give you the love a husband should give his wife!"

Then one day, she leaves the manor to buy cloth for their unborn child and doesn't return. He sends the Imperial Guard to search the entire capital, but she is nowhere to be found. Only then does panic finally seize him. It feels as if someone has carved out his heart, leaving it bleeding and aching!

Only then does he realize she's already taken up residence in his heart, and no one can replace her...

Later, after Mu Xiuyuan becomes Minister of War, whenever he has a spare moment, he follows Xiao Ru around, trying every trick to coax her home. He even carries her off in the middle of the street, heedless of everyone watching.

The Crown Princess in Exile. Visit the author's page to find it.

Gu Xiyue is on her way to the company to take over the family business when she gets into a car accident. When she wakes up, she's the eldest daughter of a duke's household.

The eldest daughter takes her younger sister's place and marries the Crown Prince, becoming the Crown Princess. Before Gu Xiyue can enjoy the privileges of being Crown Princess, she discovers that the Crown Prince has already been deposed. Worse still, the former Crown Prince has been exiled to the Southern Wastelands and cannot return to the capital without an imperial summons!

The Southern Wastelands are surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on the fourth. A row of earthen walls and thatched huts is home to several hundred people. The only fields are carved out of the mountainside, and the soil is so poor that no family harvests enough to eat for a year. Even survival is a struggle.

The eldest daughter takes her sister's place, dreaming that one day she'll rule the empire as empress. But when things turn out this way, she loses all hope. Less than three days after arriving in exile, she ends her life with a white silk sash.

When Gu Xiyue wakes, she is struggling to pull the silk sash over her head, standing on a wobbly wooden stool.

She leaps down in alarm.

No matter what happens, suicide has never been an option for her.

Neither has giving up and waiting to die.

So what if the conditions are a little harsh and supplies are scarce? Give her some time, and she'll make sure she has a comfortable life with plenty to eat and wear.

A few years later, the desolate Southern Wastelands become a commercial hub, stunning the imperial court.

**

After Gu Xiyun is reborn, she remembers what happened in her previous life. She understands that if her older sister hadn't taken her beloved Xiao Heng, he wouldn't have raised an army a few years later and become a tyrant.

She believes everything Xiao Heng did was because of her.

In this life, she'll save him and make sure he never goes down that path.
