When Beauty and Fate Collide

[Blurb]

When he was fifteen, his finest assassin said, "I can take the head of any first-rank noble of the Kingdom of Zhao within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, except for Shen Qingyao."

Helan Jue had met this beloved legitimate princess.

She had a pure, innocent face, but her limpid eyes concealed an astonishingly fierce fire.

She was clearly a femme fatale.

At the time, he merely smiled coldly, then took this calamity of a beauty into his arms.

She was nothing but an antidote.

She poisoned his cup, and he pretended not to notice, drinking it down in one gulp.

She plunged a blade deep into his chest. He gripped her trembling hands and sneered, "You stabbed me so shallowly, and you still think you can kill someone?"

He had the upper hand and was confident of victory.

Only when the blade in her hand turned toward her own pale, slender wrist did he understand what it meant to wound the heart.

When they met again, he was a hostage from an enemy kingdom. In front of three hundred princes and ministers, he knelt at the foot of the steps and pleaded, word by word, to marry her.

She sat high upon the princess's throne, wearing a phoenix crown and red robes. She lifted her chin with a faint smile, but her words plunged him into an abyss: "Strange, isn't it? From the moment we first met, I couldn't stand Your Highness."

How can some wounds ever be redeemed?

1v1, happy ending, the male lead pursues his wife after losing her. The female lead won't be put through angst.

The first time Li Yinuo transmigrated into a book as a villainess, she received a System mission: "Get face-slapped."

But the crappy display was broken, and all she saw were the words "slap face."

Confident Li Yinuo: Face-slapping? That's my thing!

After a wild rampage, the System announced: Mission failed. Erasing memories.

Beep--

The second time, she was dropped into the role of a C-list married-in-secret actress and received the mission "Be good in bed."

Li Yinuo: Be good in bed? I can do that!

Xu Hao: If you go public, I'll divorce you.

Li Yinuo: Uh-oh, that might be a little difficult...

After waking up from a night of drinking, she saw that the progress bar above her head, which hadn't moved in ages, had finally started to grow!

Looking at the husband beside her, who'd thoroughly had his way with her, Li Yinuo suddenly understood: Be good in bed! I get it!

Later, after actress Li Yinuo had become the darling of CP fans everywhere, she learned that her CEO husband had a white moonlight in his heart.

She heard the white moonlight was a top student and a goddess~

She heard the white moonlight was an expert at ripping into people and turning the tables~

She heard the white moonlight had trampled her husband's heart~

Canary secret identity, Li Yinuo: How heartless (nice!), how cruel (so satisfying!), divorce!

Xu Hao pinned her against the wall, his voice hoarse: You played me and now you want to run?

Li Yinuo: ?

Xu Hao: Go public now, this instant!

A tsundere CEO with the aloof bearing of a lofty flower, whose words say one thing and body says another x a troublemaking fake canary
