Blurb:

The second young master of the General's residence, Zhan Xie, went to war.

Everyone thought he was a fine steed headed for the open road, a fierce tiger entering the forest. But more than half a year passed, and he still hadn't returned. His whereabouts were unknown.

The General's residence wielded great influence and hadn't given up searching for him in the border towns. But after searching day and night for more than half a year, they still had no results.

With no other choice, they made a cenotaph and held a hasty burial. On the day of the funeral, the soul-summoning banner billowed wildly, and somehow summoned Zhan Xie, two other people, and a horse back!

Overwhelmed by grief and joy, the General's wife fainted several times from happiness.

But on closer inspection, the soul-summoning banner hadn't just brought Zhan Xie back. It had also brought back a timid little girl...

Both leads are chaste.

The heroine is very gentle and blind, but she will recover later.

I imagined this as a sweet romance, but reality doesn't quite match the fantasy.

Meng Yang was only seventeen when she died. Someone had fractured her skull and thrown her body into a river. By rights, she should have been consumed by resentment and returned as a vengeful ghost to claim her killer's life.

What a pity that Meng Yang was a bit slow. Perhaps the blow to her head had been too hard, because she had forgotten everything that came before it.

She even managed to skip the Soup of Oblivion.

She crossed the bridge to the afterlife several times. The beautiful Granny Meng told her to wait a little longer each time, so she had no choice but to wait obediently.

When someone finally came, she got a good look at his face and felt rather relieved. He was handsome, dressed in black with gold embroidery, and exceedingly distinguished. She smiled, thinking that at least her wait hadn't been for nothing.

The man smiled at Meng Yang. Before she could react, he took her dry, deathly pale hand and led her away.

In the third year after she took up residence in the Netherworld King's palace, a well-behaved baby was growing in her belly.

One rainy night during her pregnancy, lightning flashed and thunder roared outside as the two of them snuggled together over a little storybook.

Suddenly, a muffled clap of thunder struck. Meng Yang's head began to ache, and through the haze, she remembered something. Turning to him, she asked, "Husband... why did you hit me with a rock back then?"

Recommending a CP story!

Historical romance: The Emperor's Daughter by Helian Feifei

She had spent eighteen years treading on thin ice in the imperial palace. Just when life had finally gotten better, the one person who could stand up for her, her father, fell ill.

The Crown Prince was still young, and the court officials had their own agendas. To stabilize the situation, the most powerful people in the harem came to an agreement: they would marry Licheng, the most beautiful and suitably aged of the princesses, to Xue Chen, the treacherous minister who held power over the entire court.

Licheng knew full well that her father had long been displeased with this man. This was merely a delaying tactic, and sooner or later, he would be dealt with. The marriage was nothing more than a show.

After they married, Xue Chen didn't seem to realize that he had taken a princess as his wife. When Licheng didn't summon him to her chambers, he took the opportunity to leave her alone for more than three months, watching coldly as she struggled to adjust to married life.

Then, on the night her father passed away, Xue Chen was summoned to the imperial hall. She saw him clasp his hands, his face stricken with grief, and heard him say with solemn conviction, eyes lowered, "Your humble servant swears to protect Zhanghua and keep her free from worry for the rest of her life..."

Licheng thought: He puts on quite a show.

She never imagined that he meant every word.

Scene 1:

Nanny: Princess, you've been married to the Prince Consort for almost half a year, and you still haven't consummated the marriage. The Empress Dowager has asked about it so many times, and I don't know what to tell her.

Licheng impatiently set down her wine cup. "What's so hard to tell her? Just say that Xue Chen has a hidden ailment. It's not as if anyone can blame me, is it?"

Xue Chen, who had heard every word from outside the door: ...

Later,

Xue Chen gently stroked Licheng's hand. "When I went to the palace to attend His Majesty that day, I couldn't help noticing that he looked at me with something like pity. I wonder why."

Licheng: "Well... you must have imagined it."

Scene 2:

Xue Chen came home early that day and was about to summon his advisors when his mother came storming in, grumbling, "You unfilial son! Why are you wasting time meeting with advisors? Go next door and see your wife! You're well into adulthood and still don't have a child. Your father comes to me in dreams and scolds me until I can't hold my head up!"

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Chen appeared outside Licheng's bedchamber and said solemnly, "Mother says I'm not allowed home until I give her a grandchild."
