(An ancient version of a domineering CEO's road to redemption)
Su Li transmigrated into a novel aimed at male readers, becoming the bewitching supporting character who tried to frame the heroine, failed, and was sent to a military camp instead. In the original novel, she suffered all kinds of humiliation and torment, then died alone on a cold winter's day.
Su Li: I... (one thousand words of censored profanity)
With the soldiers about to take her to their tent, she gritted her teeth and secretly slipped into another place.
The man on the bed slowly woke. Seeing a bewitching woman sitting beside him, weeping with tear-streaked cheeks, he asked, "Who are you?"
Su Li: "Don't doubt it. I'm the woman you love most!"
In the original novel, Han Xiangjun, Crown Prince of Feng, was a cunning, ruthless, and wildly ambitious man. He murdered his brother and seized the throne, eventually becoming the final boss who unified the six kingdoms. According to the plot, he was currently injured and had lost his memory. He wouldn't recover for three months, which gave her the perfect chance to use him to escape and then live a good life far from here.
So that very night, she jumped the Crown Prince of Feng and left him with nothing.
Su Li successfully changed her fate. She picked an auspicious day, packed her bags, and prepared to flee, never expecting the amnesiac Crown Prince to recover ahead of schedule.
The man's gaze was deep as he slowly leaned closer. "I hear... you're the woman I love most?"
Su Li: "Oh no... I'm doomed!"
"Content Warnings"
1. One couple, both each other's first. This is not a wish-fulfillment novel. The male lead is a jerk at first, but she trains him later.
2. The Crown Prince is not the male lead in the original novel. The male lead is someone else.
3. There is a dramatic pregnancy-and-flight plot.
4. The heroine is a bewitching drama queen. Don't read if that's not your thing!
5. The male lead has not lost all his memories. His amnesia is temporary, and he has only forgotten the past few years.
Blurb for The Chancellor's Guide to Raising His Wife:
A pampered, delicate beauty × a cool, ascetic political heavyweight
The Yan family vanished in a raging fire overnight, leaving behind only Yan Jing'er, who was too frail to carry anything or even lift a hand. She had no choice but to pack her things and head to the capital to seek help from her betrothed.
Gu Jingchen had just returned to his residence after court when he saw a young girl sitting on a chair, crying pitifully.
Gu Jingchen: "This is..."
The steward said, "She says she's your fiancée."
Gu Jingchen: "?"
The little girl's eyes were swollen from crying. She looked at him timidly with bright, deerlike eyes.
After a moment of silence, Gu Jingchen gave a faint nod. "Then we'll take her in for now."
*
The noble young ladies of the capital all knew that Chancellor Gu had a young adoptive sister, so they scrambled to curry favor with her. For a long time, Yan Jing'er was the darling of every banquet she attended. That is, until the year of the palace banquet when Chancellor Gu led her in by the hand. Everyone stared in astonishment and confusion.
Gu Jingchen: "This is my fiancée."
The noble young ladies: "???"
Little Scene One:
To make it easier for her to attend school, Gu Jingchen always gave her careful instructions on the way there each day. "If anyone asks, tell them I'm your older brother."
Yan Jing'er nodded obediently. "All right."
One day, after finishing work, Gu Jingchen stopped by to pick her up from school. He saw a young man trying to win over his little fiancée with snacks.
The young man asked, "Who is he?"
Yan Jing'er smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. "He's my older brother."
The young man straightened up and greeted him respectfully. "Hello, big brother."
Gu Jingchen: "..."
Little Scene Two:
Yan Jing'er crammed at the last minute before an exam, turning to Gu Jingchen for help.
"Husband, I don't understand this problem. Could you explain it to me?"
She pushed open the door and found a group of officials discussing affairs in the study.
Gu Jingchen pinched the bridge of his nose, then helplessly waved everyone away. "That's enough for today. You may all go."
The next day, the servants whispered among themselves: "I heard the Chancellor tutored his wife until dawn and even smacked her palm. She cried and everything."
"Reading Guide"

2. The two only start dating and marry after the heroine has grown up.
3. The setting is a fictional history. Women can hold office, and adults can continue their studies.
4. The Yan and Gu families arranged a marriage when the children were in the cradle. Their first child was a boy, so the promise didn't count, and it carried over to the next child. As a result, the hero and heroine have a ten-year age gap. Read with caution if that bothers you.
Theme: No matter how tragic your fate may be, you must dare to fight back.
