Synopsis:

After transmigrating into a book, Zhao Sirui becomes a stumbling block on the male and female leads' path to love: the hated, fake-innocent "little sister" who readers can't stand. She resolves to stay in her lane and keep her distance from the leads, starting with the little things.

Until one day,

she discovers that the young man who has just moved in next door, the male lead who will one day become a renowned general of Chu, looks exactly like her idol from her previous life...

Her friend Zhao Sichen is always talking about his sweet, sensible little sister. Gu Xun doesn't think she's quite like that...

The first time they met, Zhao Sirui slipped off a bridge and landed on him, leaving his chest sore for days. The second time, she nearly fell into a pond in front of everyone, and he grabbed her by the collar.

But she was happy each time? She always looked at him with shining eyes, unable to hide it.

Gu Xun eventually figured out why. In light of her sincere affection, he tacitly allowed her to follow him around.

Then one day, he was accidentally shot and fell from his horse on the battlefield. When he awoke, memories from his previous life had appeared in his mind.

He couldn't believe it. Zhao Sirui had run off with a pretty-faced scholar just when he had returned in glory and was planning to marry her?

Little scene (?)

Zhao Sirui notices that Gu Xun has changed since returning from military service. He has gone from calling her "Little Sister Rui" to addressing her as Zhao Sirui in a cold voice.

She follows his example and calls him by his name.

But Gu Xun answers gently, taking it in stride. He's determined to make her realize he's more than just an older brother.

But later, what he loves most is still the way she sometimes whispers, in a soft, indistinct voice, "Big Brother..."

New story seeking advance readers:

A princess who is cool and innocent at first, then turns dark and seeks revenge × a hostage prince who pretends to be a harmless fool but is actually just lazy

Synopsis:

At a banquet, Chun'an accidentally has wine spilled on her clothes. With no choice but to get up and change in a side hall, she passes a rockery in the back courtyard and hears the sound of fists and kicks, punctuated by occasional muffled groans.

She pretends to have lost a hairpin. The moment those people see her, they stare dumbly, then scatter to search for it, leaving only He Zhizhang lying on the ground, silent.

His deep eyes are like those of a wolf that has been lying in wait for a long time. She feels a chill in her heart and hurries away.

By chance, she helps him a few more times later on.

Until she hears him say to someone else, his expression cold, "I was only using her."

Later, a new emperor ascends the throne of Chu. Chun'an loses everything overnight and is forced to marry into Jin as a political bride.

She is married to the one person she never wanted to see again in this life: He Zhizhang.

But it's as if the man has changed completely.

While He Zhizhang is held hostage in Chu, the hostages from other states bully him. He keeps his eyes dark and bears it for the time being.

Killing them would be easy, but he doesn't want to invite trouble right now.

The innocent and sheltered princess of Chu thinks he's weak and useless, and helps him out of trouble time and again.

He simply goes along with it, too lazy to explain.

But when he learns that the princess treats another hostage the same way and has helped him too, things get out of hand.

That insolent fool comes to provoke him. His eyes bloodshot, He Zhizhang clenches his fists and blurts out hurtful words. It becomes the thing he regrets most.

Little scenes:

1.

Even He Zhizhang, who usually walks around with his eyes half-lidded, has times when he can't afford to be lazy.

When Chun'an is pregnant with their daughter Mianmian, her feet swell terribly. Every night, after finishing his memorials, he massages them for hours. A wet cloth is always ready beside the bed.

When Chun'an is in too much discomfort, she cries. Each tear strikes his heart. He instinctively reaches out to wipe them away with his fingertip, but the young woman turns her head aside.

He Zhizhang pauses, then sheepishly finishes drying his hands before daring to draw her into his arms and comfort her in a quiet voice.

2.

During childbirth, Chun'an's moods are especially hard to predict. He often sees her holding their newborn, Mianmian, and crying. She lifts her face, showing off the beautiful line of her neck, refusing to let him see her tears.

He Zhizhang loses quite a bit of hair from worrying.

His little girl holds the daughter they had together and murmurs to herself.

He has to call on every ounce of his martial arts training to make out the words: "Not pretty," "It's okay," and "Mama hurts."

Afterward, he specially invites the parents of other newborns with wrinkly little monkey faces to a banquet at the palace. Only then does his Chun'an press her lips together, the corners of her mouth lifting a little.
