Adorning a Beauty in Brocade (Reborn)

The next story, The Imperial Preceptor's Blessings (Transmigrate), is now underway. Story blurb: [Bewitchingly beautiful, formidable, and truly delicate Jin Yi Wei VS a strongwoman pretending to be a frail white lotus] In her previous life, Wei Aqiang escaped her life as a skinny horse and devoted herself to raising the child of her late elder sister. But all her achievements and sacrifices earned her only one sentence: "You're nothing but her substitute!" Why should she accept that?! Then Wei Aqiang was reborn. Heh. Literati of the day adored her willowy waist and delicate, frail beauty, and even composed an immortal poem for her: "The tune goes awry, and Aqiang looks over." Yet this remarkable woman was sent before Cui Yanyu, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, whose name could stop a crying child in its tracks. Wei Aqiang bowed deeply. "Please, my lord, take pity on me." Then she set the courtyard ablaze and escaped. .. Cui Yanyu, whose brocade-clad guards had always ridden out with their chilling embroidered spring sabers, was investigating a case in secret in Yangzhou: the provincial governor was colluding with Japanese pirates. Concealing his identity, he was forced to buy a skinny horse, only for a great fire to singe the hair he had carefully tended day and night! Just as he was betrayed, Wei Aqiang, disguised as someone else, rescued him. How interesting. Later, he would love only three things in his life: first, duty to his country; second, the cold edge of his embroidered spring saber; and third, Wei Aqiang. She was his blade, his scabbard, and the love of his life. [Bonus Scene] Cui Yanyu: Aqiang is delicate. Stay behind me! Wei Aqiang charges ahead to protect him instead, shooting him a sidelong glance. Cui Yanyu: ... [In a nutshell: Wei Aqiang, reborn with her maxed-out character, is back. Substitute, you're finished.] .. [Reader's Guide:] 1. This is a fictionalized Ming setting, with one couple and a happy ending. I've done my best to keep it historically accurate.
