Blind Marriage

Newly completed: A Glorious Tragedy

In her previous life, Jin Dengdeng learned she was going to die. Afraid her first love would be heartbroken, she planned an elaborate breakup. Even after her first love and his family blacklisted her and she was nearly starved to death, she never showed up to tell him the truth. After she died, she stayed by his side to protect him, only to witness his grand wedding to a pure and innocent rising star from the entertainment industry. She also saw how little he cared about her feelings. Then she was so furious that she returned to the moment before her death.

Jin Dengdeng figures she was sent back because the King of Hell and his messengers were afraid her resentment would turn her into an evil spirit and cause them trouble. They must have brought her back especially so she could get even. Of course, she doesn't want to become an ugly, blue-mouthed, fanged ghost either, so to hell with sacrificing everything for love. She's going to die anyway, so she might as well do whatever she wants.

The first thing she has to do is marry her first love, Xu Yinian. She'll torment him, make his life miserable, and then die in his home, leaving him with a reputation for driving his wives to their deaths. That'll make him a rich old bachelor and infuriate the sweet little star who wants to marry her way up.

^O^ This story is set in a fictional world. Its historical details are not meant to be examined.

The frail, legitimate daughter of the Li family is betrothed to Teng Yushu, the cold-hearted heir of the Hezheng estate. Everyone says it's a pity for such a gentle and courteous girl. But what can she do? The beauty had the bad luck to fall into the water, only to be rescued by a demon-like King of Hell. Who else could she marry if not him?

Li Qingxia had a miserable time in both her lives. In her previous life, she hid her masculine nature and devoted herself to being a noble young lady who might topple over at the slightest breeze. She did it all to marry the gentle, jade-like young master of the Minister's estate. She never fought or demanded anything, just hoping good fortune would fall into her lap. Little did she know that her beloved young master would marry someone else, and that she'd played her devoted-lover role so well that it killed her.

At last, she is reborn in her childhood and tries a different approach. But when she holds the imperial decree announcing her marriage, she decides she might as well smash her head against a block of tofu and die.

On her wedding night, Li Qingxia watches the black boots disappear from in front of her and breathes a sigh of relief. She lifts her own veil, washes up, and crawls into bed. Half asleep in the middle of the night, she gets slept with.

Li Qingxia: "Teng Yushu, we're both members of the nobility. If you're going to make a decision, can't you see it through?"

Teng Yushu: "It was an accident. It won't happen again." Later, Li Qingxia says, "I remember you once said..."

Teng Yushu: "Sorry, I don't remember."
