A Noble Lady's Difficult Lot

My new historical romance, The Male Lead's Cannon Fodder Widow Sister-in-Law, is now underway. Please add it to your collection!

Blurb: Lin Yunzhi wakes up to find that she has become the male lead's young, childless widow sister-in-law in an old, famous web novel.

Following the established cannon-fodder formula, her role is to pick fights with the male lead and make his life difficult, over and over, pushing him bit by bit toward villainy. Then, just before her mission is complete, she gets one final achievement: being killed by the male lead, bringing her chaotic cannon-fodder life to an end.

Having read the whole book, Lin Yunzhi rubs her perfectly good head and decides to turn over a new leaf before the original plot can unfold: before she has the chance to collude with another man, cripple the male lead, steal the family fortune, and establish herself as a wicked shrew who wrecks the household.

A former editor of a food program, Lin Yunzhi has skillful hands and excellent cooking. Drawing on the wealth of experience she gained in her previous life, she pays off her late husband's gambling debts and lives freely. She even raises a top scholar for the Tao family. Aside from having no partner, her life is practically perfect.

But the Tao family's precious gem has more than proper affection between a young man and his widowed sister-in-law for her. He also secretly hopes they can marry and be together forever.

In her previous life, Shen Jingxuan loved the wrong man. Her husband doted on his concubine and neglected his wife, while the concubine framed her and drugged her, causing Shen Jingxuan to die in childbirth along with her baby.

Reborn after her death, Shen Jingxuan is exhausted in body and mind. She swears she'd rather be an ordinary man's wife than marry into a powerful family.

Unexpectedly, the Shen family gets caught up in a succession struggle in this life and teeters on the brink of ruin. The emperor suddenly issues an edict promising her to Prince Kang.

Li Changgeng, Prince Kang, is said to bring misfortune, having brought death to both his wife and his mother. Now over twenty-five, he still has neither wife nor concubine.

The whole capital watches, eager to see what happens to the Shen girl. Prince Kang is a sinister, unpredictable man, and everyone fears her life will be miserable.

Shen Jingxuan is apprehensive, but after marrying into his household, she learns that rumors aren't always true. Prince Kang is a very good man.

When Prince Kang is drunk, he boasts, "With such a beauty at home, a husband could not be more content!"

Also known as The Sharp-Tongued Prince's Boundless Love for His Wife. A sweet romance.
