Marrying the Tempestuous Young Prince

Jin Rui is an unloved son of a concubine, raised at a country estate. He is frail and clearly not long for this world. He is over twenty, yet still hasn't found a wife. Whenever he returns to the family estate for the ancestral rites, his brothers mock and bully him.

Then one day, the young Prince of Jiangbei suddenly arrives to ask for his hand in marriage, stunning the humble Jin family.

His family forces him into the prince's manor. He hides a dagger, intending to die alongside the young prince who is forcing him into marriage. But on their wedding night, the prince lifts his veil, takes out a thick stack of papers, and nervously offers them to him. He says carefully, "Military advisor, I've finished copying all the military texts you assigned me. Can we stop being mad at each other?"

Jin Rui: "..."

He explains that he isn't any military advisor, just a useless, sickly man. But the young prince says, "Isn't there a scar as long as a forearm on your back? Tell me, if you're a sickly weakling who's barely ever left home, how did you get such a fatal scar?"

Everyone thinks he will waste away in the prince's manor until he dies, and that the young prince will soon grow tired of him.

They have no idea he's living a very different life.

The young prince kneels on a fine writing brush, looking both furious and timid. "Military advisor, you lost your memory and forgot what was in the military text. Why am I the one being punished?"

Jin Rui answers matter-of-factly, "If you hadn't kept pestering me last night, I would've remembered already. Stay on your knees. I recognize this book, so I'll remember it soon."

Coming next: After Being Reborn, I Started Raising the Royal Family's Little Brats. Please give it a read!

In his previous life, Su Qi followed his father, Su Cheng, in serving his cousin, the First Prince. He lived in constant fear every day and never complained or shirked his duties. In the end, the First Prince and his father unhesitatingly pinned the witchcraft charge on him, and he died miserably in prison before coming of age.

Only when he was dying did he learn that Su Cheng was not his father. His real father was a renowned god of war who had been searching for him all along.

Unwilling to accept his fate, he is reborn and returns to the age of ten. He swears that as long as the First Prince does not ascend the throne, he doesn't care who becomes crown prince. So he stays in the shadows and begins cultivating the other princes.

The Second Prince has a short temper, makes a racket every day, and hates studying?

No problem. He can step in and straighten him out.

The Third Prince's mother is lowborn, and he is out of favor?

Easy enough. Su Qi knows what the emperor likes, so he can guide the Third Prince to win his favor.

The Fourth Prince is a man of few words who can barely string a sentence together?

No big deal. Su Qi can spend every day chatting with him.

Later, all three princes become far more capable than the First Prince. But each is talented and hot-tempered, and they can't stand one another. Su Qi has never dared to come clean: hey, I raised all three of you.

Every day, he has to pretend to help the Second Prince gang up on the Third and Fourth Princes, join the Third Prince in cursing the Second and Fourth Princes, and write nasty things about the Second and Third Princes with the Fourth Prince.

At a royal family banquet, the First Prince is scolded for being incompetent and stupid, then immediately blames Su Qi, claiming that Su Qi is an incapable study companion who should be thrown out of the palace. The emperor agrees. Su Qi wipes away his tears (while secretly rejoicing) and prepares to go back for his things.

But the Second Prince steps forward with a solemn expression. "Father, there is a teacher in my heart. He taught me to read, understand reason, and treat others generously. Over time, I fell in love with him, and I wish to marry him as my prince consort."

The Third Prince refuses to be outdone. "As it happens, I have someone I love too. Father, please approve our marriage as well."

The Fourth Prince bravely steps forward too. "I also have someone I like. Father, don't forget to arrange my marriage."

The emperor is delighted. "It's rare for you brothers to be so united. Tell me their names, and I'll approve all the marriages."

Su Qi: "!!!" This is over! I can't stay here anymore. I should go find my real father instead.

After Being Reborn and Finding My Wealthy Birth Parents, I Became Famous

Shen Jing was trapped in the romantic fantasy woven by the scumbag Chen Xu. He gave up a place at a top university and a job offer, happily staying home to be bogged down in household chores for him.

But then Chen Xu got the chance to study abroad and unceremoniously dumped him. To impress his new love, he humiliated Shen Jing in public, even though he knew Shen Jing couldn't swim, by pushing him into a pool.

His adoptive parents could have saved him, but chose to turn and walk away for the insurance money.

He wakes up reborn on the day of the college entrance exam, under a brilliant sun. Chen Xu pulls him aside and reminds him, "Don't write the essay. Get a lower score, so we can go to the same school."

The glaring sunlight makes it hard to open his eyes. Squinting at the scumbag's face, he raises a hand and slaps him.

Do I look like I care? Why settle for less when I can go to Tsinghua or Peking University?

When the admissions results arrive, his adoptive parents go door to door with his acceptance letter to a top university, borrowing money and saying, "My son will pay you back tenfold someday."

Shen Jing calls the police!

To earn his tuition, he works as an assistant to a famous actor, but his looks unexpectedly make him a sensation. The entertainment industry is a dirty place, and a senior executive at a film company soon sets his sights on him. He immediately packs up and leaves. He's earned enough for tuition anyway.

Just as he's about to leave after finishing his bit part, a luxury car blocks his way.

He says, "Is this the ride I ordered? Do people drive luxury cars for Didi now?"

The owner of the luxury car says, "I'm not a driver. I'm here to pick up the son I've been separated from for years."
