Before I Lost My Memory, I Was "Heartless and Vicious"

Ying Niang woke up to find that she had lost her memories. Her husband, Xu Duan, no longer forced her to divorce him, no longer did everything he could to marry the woman he loved, and no longer reluctantly came near her to ward off evil spirits. He was ten years older now, a Grand Preceptor with power over the entire court. He was cold and murderous, hated by everyone, yet loved her so much he was no better than a slave. Ying Niang thought it was absurd, but even more absurd was that she had become someone who naturally attracted all kinds of demons and evil spirits. And somehow, during the ten years she couldn't remember, she had become a wicked woman everyone despised but was afraid to provoke. Rumors in the capital said that when Xu Duan fell on hard times, she had kicked him to the curb and married a wealthy merchant as his concubine, enjoying his every indulgence. When the merchant was about to make her his principal wife, she discovered that Xu Duan had become the Grand Preceptor who held the court in his grip. So she kicked the merchant to the curb too, hoping to latch on to the Grand Preceptor. Everyone thought the Grand Preceptor would mock her and take revenge, but who could have guessed that, despite her having once abandoned him, he would want to marry her as his principal wife... Uh... That's not right. She was clearly a good person, so how had she become so obsessed with power and wealth over those ten years??? And how could Xu Duan, who had once made her suffer through jealousy and indignities, have become so madly in love with her? On top of that, strange men kept appearing one after another. Though she was only somewhat above average in looks, she inexplicably kept winning their affections. [Reader's Guide] 1. This is fanfiction set against the backdrop of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Zi Bu Yu, and Chinese folk legends. All the ghosts and monsters come from these worlds. Important characters may look alive, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are. For details on the supernatural beings involved, see the author's notes. 2. The heroine really is a good person, with impeccable values. Her sweet, soft, and weak demeanor is only a facade. She willingly marries three times, never insists on staying chaste, and falls in love each time she marries, but loves only one person. She couldn't care less about anyone else. She is a natural heartthrob who brings scumbags to ruin. 3. When Xu Duan was young, he hated the heroine because she was his stepmother, who had insisted he marry her. The virtuous wife he had set his sights on was someone else, though he never loved that woman. He did give the heroine the cold shoulder. After falling in love with her, he never had anyone else. His heart and body belong to her. Don't read if this bothers you. 4. The male lead is a split-off fragment who goes through a wife-chasing crematorium, with a love-triangle showdown and extreme melodrama. 5. This novel will go VIP on September 4, with three chapters released that day. Please support it. I'd also like to recommend my novel, The Monster Bride's Survival Countdown. Please add it to your reading list TAT Reincarnated as a side character who was a sacrificial bride fleeing an arranged marriage in a horror story, Ruan Xue was destined to marry skin-clad monsters that inspired terror. She thought she was doomed, and so did the viewers in her livestream. At most, they would regret that such a cool beauty was going to disappear too soon. But Ruan Xue didn't die. She simply spent each day getting along with the monsters in an utterly ordinary way, yet they somehow found sweetness in it. Even when she insisted on leaving them, the monsters were convinced that she had been bewitched by outsiders played by the various players, and that it wasn't her fault at all. Candy takes on a grotesque hue as obsession intertwines with death. Ruan Xue never imagined that she would not only survive, but also become an overnight sensation thanks to her unique livestream content. [Reader's Guide] 1. It looks like a horror Quick Transmigration novel, but it's actually just a melodramatic romance. 2. Slow transmigration. 3. Each world has only one skin-clad monster male lead. 4. The blurb may be revised. The version on the publication date will be definitive. [I've realized I can't keep writing this. When I pick up my pen, it feels like I'm making the same mistakes all over again. My writing is awful, the plot won't move forward, and I'm still making the same mistakes as before. I can't see any improvement, only frustration. I talked it over with a friend, and maybe this is happening because I'm too concerned with what other people think. So I'm closing the comments and writing only what I like. I sent a red packet to everyone who left a comment on the latest chapter before I closed them, as compensation. It wasn't much, just 100 points each. This novel had already earned more than the red packets cost anyway. Earning one or two yuan a day is the norm, so sorry, I don't want to lose too much money. If you don't like what I've done, that's fine too. Maybe we'll meet again. Don't be upset.] Theme: Celebrating the principle of repaying kindness, and criticizing the feudal system that shackles human nature.
