[1]

Lin Nianchu loved Liang Chen to pieces. They dated for seven years and were married for three, but Liang Chen cheated on her, and his mistress showed up pregnant to force her way into the marriage. Lin Nianchu divorced him without hesitation. From then on, she'd seen through the world: To hell with love!

Cheng Yan loved the woman he cherished, his cinnabar mole and the moonlight before his window, to pieces. But she put him through hell. From then on, he'd seen through the world: To hell with love!

One night, Lin Nianchu and Cheng Yan met at a bar. The two single young people who'd given love the finger sized each other up and sensed they were on the same wavelength. They hit it off immediately.

A month later, Lin Nianchu discovered she was pregnant. After discussing it with Cheng Yan, they decided to make the best of a bad situation and muddle through life together. So they went to the civil affairs bureau and got married.

At a banquet, Lin Nianchu ran into her ex-husband. When he tried to strike up a conversation, she immediately took Cheng Yan's hand and placed it on her slightly rounded belly. "Honey, why do some people just can't get over their ex-wives?"

Cheng Yan replied coolly, "Because they're pathetic."

Ex-husband: "..."

[3]

The couple were out shopping when they ran into Cheng Yan's moonlight. The green tea woman hadn't given up and tried to drive a wedge between them.

Seeing this, Cheng Yan put his hand on Lin Nianchu's belly and said sincerely, "Honey, your belly's gotten so big. How come you still look good in everything you wear?"

Lin Nianchu: "It's mainly because I have a pretty face. Looks reflect the heart. Unlike some people, who look petty and mean at first glance, and are destined to die alone."

Moonlight: "..."

Notes:

1. The warning signs and feel-good moments are all in the blurb.

2. The male lead has only ever been with the female lead, and once they're together, he's devoted to her. The moonlight is a disposable character.

3. A melodramatic story about a couple who marry first, fall in love later, and team up to take down scumbags. Just read it for fun, don't take it too seriously.

4. It's also a story about healing each other.

Third-person narration

[1]

I'm a horndog, but I transmigrated, along with my career-obsessed best friend.

She became an arrogant queen, while I became a princess who had everything.

One day, I stood atop the city walls and saw the neighboring kingdom's Seventh Prince riding a fine horse, as handsome as a tree. Tears of emotion spilled from the corners of my mouth. I grabbed my best friend's clothes, heartbroken, and cried, "Don't hesitate! Send me off to marry him!"

My best friend stared impassively. "Honey, wipe up your drool first." Stop doing such tacky things in public.

[2]

The Seventh Prince and I grew closer, but I eventually discovered he wasn't as gentle and warm as I'd imagined. Nor was the neighboring kingdom as friendly as we'd thought. They wanted to destroy our Great Jin Kingdom.

The Seventh Prince even tried to turn me against my country with his looks and his love. I couldn't resist temptation and brought my best friend a cup of wine. She drank it without suspicion.

At the same time, the Seventh Prince also drank a cup of wine.

My best friend lived until dawn with me by her side. The Seventh Prince, on the other hand, dropped dead.

[3]

Our side soundly defeated the enemy, and my best friend rewarded everyone according to their merits.

I said I couldn't resist temptation, but what I couldn't resist was my best friend's temptation. She'd promised to give me every handsome man in Great Jin Kingdom, but the reward I got was General Pei Yuan.

General Pei and I go way back. At the start of my transmigration, I slept with him, then dumped him without taking responsibility.

Faced with Pei Yuan's extremely handsome and utterly brooding face, I scrambled over to my best friend, crying and asking if she wanted me dead.

My best friend held my hand and said earnestly, "Honey, I'm worried General Pei's achievements will overshadow the throne. This time, I really need you to marry into another family."

Me: "Waaaaah..." You don't understand how much stamina Pei Yuan has. He'll screw me to death!

[An alternate ancient setting with fantasy elements, a modest ensemble cast, and an even split between plot and romance. Pei Yuan is the sole male lead. Both leads are virgins. Happy ending.]

[She's a lustful woman x He's a stubborn man]
