A Healing Marriage

(Main story complete)

After her childhood sweetheart and first love cheated on her, Xu Xiran was pressured by her father and stepmother into a blind date. The man came from a wealthy family and had a considerable fortune, but he was ten years older than her and had a disability in his left leg.

The first time Xu Xiran met Jiang Yuhuai, he was wearing a prosthetic leg, and there was no sign of anything amiss. He was also unexpectedly handsome, but his personality was hard to read. He seemed courteous and polite, yet kept everyone at an untouchable distance with his cool reserve.

Xu Xiran assumed he wouldn't be interested in her, but when she got home, she was told that he was very pleased with her and wanted to marry her right away.

Xu Xiran: "..."

When she first married Jiang Yuhuai, Xu Xiran thought this cold man would be difficult to get along with. Later, she discovered that this mature, steady man who always put on airs was clingy.

*

One day, the man who was supposed to be overseas for a meeting suddenly appeared and blocked Xu Xiran at the door. Thinking he had rushed back because something urgent had happened, she grew nervous and asked, "Did the overseas deal fall through?"

His face set, he looked at her with a dark gaze and asked in an unusually serious tone, "Why didn't you reply to my messages?"

Xu Xiran: "..."

*

Xu Xiran knew that this man, who seemed so confident and unbreakable, was actually very self-conscious about his disabled leg. For instance, he never used it to touch her.

To put him at ease, Xu Xiran deliberately crouched in front of him and wrapped her arms around that leg. Flustered, he told her to let go. She looked up at him with a smile. "I'm your wife. Can't I even give you a hug?"

His expression was grave, but a blush crept into his eyes. He swept her into his arms and gripped her waist, suppressing his feelings with a voice gone hoarse. "Don't tempt me."

Xu Xiran: "???"

Content warnings:

* The male lead is disabled.

"The Villain Doesn't Want to Follow the Plot"

Only after her death did Qiao Qianmo learn that she was the villain in a xianxia novel about a concubine. She was the original wife of the male lead, Xie Wuchen. Xie Wuchen was the greatest cultivator in the Nine Provinces, the supreme master of the immortal sects. Cool, aloof, and disciplined, he devoted himself to cultivation. He had married only to join powerful families and achieve the Great Dao as soon as possible.

The female lead, Su Wanwan, had no talent for cultivation, but she was breathtakingly beautiful, with skin like ice and bones like jade. She ensnared the usually disciplined, aloof male lead, who gradually lost himself in her slender waist and soft curves.

As the betrayed wife, Qiao Qianmo was furious and jealous. She tried every means to kill the pair, but things went against her wishes. Her interference only made the male and female leads fall more deeply in love, while she earned a reputation as a vicious, venomous woman.

In the end, good triumphed over evil. The villain Qiao Qianmo was killed by a single sword thrust from Xie Wuchen, and the male and female leads finally overcame every obstacle and lived happily together.

But Qiao Qianmo's fate did not end with the leads' perfect ending. She was reborn, back before she and Xie Wuchen became cultivation partners. Now she knew she was just a villain living in a book, created only to put obstacles in the leads' way and deepen their feelings for each other.

Reborn, Qiao Qianmo gave a cold laugh. She wouldn't marry Xie Wuchen, and she wouldn't play the villain anymore. The leads could love each other all they wanted. It had nothing to do with her.

Qiao Qianmo turned her attention to Lu Li, the unsmiling senior brother in her sect. Before marrying Xie Wuchen, she had been engaged to Lu Li. She had broken off the engagement and stabbed him to marry Xie Wuchen. Later, when Xie Wuchen called down the heavenly tribulation to kill her, he shielded Su Wanwan as the thunder struck, while Lu Li had shielded her.

Qiao Qianmo walked toward Lu Li step by step, smiling gently. "Senior Brother, since we're engaged and now both old enough to marry, why don't we make it official soon?"

The man stood ramrod straight, his expression stern and composed. "I'll do as you wish, Junior Sister."

But his hand, clenched into a fist, trembled with nerves, and both his ears had turned bright red.

A seductive, venomous beauty of a heroine VS a dark-hearted, secretly passionate hero

"Getting More Addicted by the Day"

Zhou Yubai first met Liu Yi at an investment pitch event. She stood onstage, composed, confident, and elegant, with a clear, fresh face. He fell for her at first sight. But after they got together, he realized she was vain, money-hungry, and short-sighted. Zhou Yubai felt a little regret, but the woman loved him so much that she said she couldn't live without him. He worried she might do something rash if they broke up, so he never brought it up.

Liu Yi had originally gotten together with Zhou Yubai because he was rich. Afterward, she found him fussy, picky, and incredibly hard to read. Fortunately, she was good at sweet-talking and had plenty of patience, so their life together was reasonably harmonious.

Of course, Liu Yi knew perfectly well that although Zhou Yubai introduced her to everyone as his girlfriend, he would eventually marry a wealthy heiress from a family of equal standing. So she behaved herself and stayed sweet and considerate, never falling for him or asking him for anything, while quietly preparing to leave.

*

One day, Zhou Yubai happened to see Liu Yi's diary. It contained a line written in bold, forceful characters: Save money, work hard, and get away from that dog Zhou Yubai as soon as possible!

Zhou Yubai thought about how she had cuddled up to him just yesterday with stars in her eyes, calling him handsome, charming, and irresistible. Yet today he had found her calling him a dog in her diary.

After that, Zhou Yubai watched Liu Yi put on a loving act in front of him every day. She could casually shower him with declarations of love, and every day she would cuddle him and call him Little Yubai, her darling, her precious Yubai. Behind his back, however, she secretly sold the gifts he had given her for cash, preparing to run away at any moment.

Zhou Yubai played along with her act in perfect harmony. He wanted to see what else she could come up with. But in the end, he discovered that he was getting more and more addicted to her.
