My Husband Seems So Cold (Reborn)

[Complete. The blurb is a scam, run while you can.jpg]

Li Shut'an fell into the hands of rebels while trying to save her cousin. After escaping by sheer luck, she became Cui Yunqi's concubine for several years, her face scarred.

Only as she lay dying did she learn that the cousin she'd risked her life to save had stolen her identity and credit, ruined her reputation, and made sure she could never return to her hometown.

Reborn, Li Shut'an played along with the rebels, giving a jade pendant to a young man and tricking him into helping her escape alive.

When she returned to Chang'an, she was once again Princess Zhaolin, dressed in fine silks and radiant as ever. She also made sure to stomp the real culprit into the dirt.

At the Qujiang Banquet, she caught sight of the top scholar. He was the very person who had stayed by her bedside until the end. With the spirit of plum blossoms and the clarity of moonlight, he was peerless in this world.

After exhausting every trick, Li Shut'an finally managed to lure her cool and aloof former husband into her residence.

But once the doors and windows were shut, Cui Yunqi drew a jade pendant from inside his collar and smiled, utterly alluring. "Back then, the princess promised herself to me and said I could do as I pleased. I wonder, can you fulfill that promise today?"

Li Shut'an: "..."

She kept a perfectly straight face. "My lord, I think your character has collapsed."

One-on-one sweet romance. The male lead has no exes. An unconventional rebirth story about someone whose lies about love backfire.

The heroine has an eye condition early on, but later recovers.

An alternate-history setting, with a mix of dynasties.

Fake aloof, awkward oddball x genuinely fiery little princess

[Pre-release notice for the lighthearted sweet romance "Taoist, Save Me" below.]

The new emperor is young, and his elder brother, Dugu Mingyi, rules as regent. Rumor says he is dignified and solemn, with a compassionate face; others say he holds the young emperor hostage and is as cruel as a snake.

Some noblewomen in the capital want to enter his household as his principal wife, while others want to avoid him. Only Ruyuan doesn't care about him at all.

She just wants to eat well and wait to die, and maybe snuggle up to the Taoist priest who (for now) isn't hers.

Who can blame her? He's as cool as winter plum blossoms and the moon, yet he lets her see the moonlight and smell the plum blossoms.

Then, for some inexplicable reason, her father decided to send her to the prince's manor to compete for the position of principal wife.

Terrified, Ruyuan rushed to the Taoist temple that very day, weeping and sniffling as she took the opportunity to force his hand in marriage. "Taoist, save me! I only want to marry you, but my father won't agree."

His face reddened slightly. After a long pause, he sat up straight and said solemnly, "Then tell him the man who wants to marry you is Dugu Mingyi."

Ruyuan: "..."

Ruyuan: "...Wait, what is this supposed to mean?!!!"

An alternate-history, one-on-one sweet romance. A story that could use the #told-you-so.gif tag (...). A Taoist priest who doesn't moonlight as a regent isn't a proper Taoist priest (x).

Gentle, reserved, fake aloof high-flier Taoist priest x straightforward, lazy salted fish who intermittently strives to improve but spends most of her time waiting to die

Theme: Grow and find sincere love in a new life.
