Blurb:

Shen Yuanjin is reborn.

After dying on the road to marry into the Wei family, she returns to the day the Marquis of Zhenyuan's household broke off her engagement.

Shen Yuanjin rushes after the heir to the marquis's title, but no amount of pleading and cajoling can make him change his mind.

In an instant, Shen Yuanjin is in dire straits. The Marquis of Zhenyuan's household has broken off the engagement, and rumors spread by Empress Wei's family have dragged her down. Almost no one in Yanjing dares to marry the city's most beautiful woman.

The noble families are afraid of offending the imperial relatives, and none of them dare get involved with the Shen family.

But what others are afraid to do, Lu Ge, the young man who has already risen to the position of Deputy Chief Councillor, dares to do.

He marries her with an eight-bearer sedan chair and a wedding procession stretching ten miles. Lu Qiushu doesn't just marry her, he wants the whole world to know that Yanjing's most beautiful woman is now his principal wife.

Everyone in Yanjing says that Lu Ge is temperamental and utterly unrestrained, and that whoever becomes his wife is doomed.

A fortune-teller even says that he is fated to be a widower and will surely spend his life alone.

But Lu Qiushu marries Shen Yuanjin just fine. Outsiders think she'll be doomed by his fate, but all they can do is watch as Lu Qiushu holds her hand and the two rise, step by step, to the pinnacle of power.

Not only does he fail to bring about Shen Yuanjin's death, he gives her a lifetime of love and favor.

Lu Qiushu: Believe it or not, the heir to the Marquis of Zhenyuan's title is my student.

Shen Yuanjin: ? So you were the one who got my engagement broken off?

Lu Qiushu: Not exactly. But the Wei family didn't know their place, so I dealt with them for you.

Historical romance coming soon: "Tempting the Imperial Preceptor"

A beautiful imperial preceptor with an icy temperament has arrived at the palace. Apart from discussing the Dao with the emperor, he never even leaves his quarters.

When the little princess Wen Shuning hears about him, she sneaks over for a peek.

Afterward, she can't eat or sleep properly. No matter what she does, she can only think of that brief, breathtaking glimpse.

Luckily, the little princess is a woman of action.

After a few days of pining, she starts visiting the imperial preceptor often.

She brings him pastries.

She brings him hairpins.

She brings him sachets.

Whatever the little princess thinks of, she brings him.

But every gift is returned to her untouched.

The imperial preceptor says that those who cultivate the Dao do not concern themselves with love.

The little princess leaves disappointed and gives up on him.

But after she leaves, the imperial preceptor feels... as if the whole world has become empty.

-

Jiang Hengsheng has been exceptionally gifted since childhood. After years of cultivating the Dao under his master, he has always held firm to his principles without wavering.

Then one day he becomes the imperial preceptor, and a lively little beauty appears by his side.

He can't ignore her.

He recites calming mantras countless times, trying to keep himself from thinking about her sweet, spirited figure.

Yet he meets her in his dreams over and over again.

At first, Jiang Hengsheng rejects her with a cold face.

Later, he gradually begins to waver.

The moment he unconsciously pulls her into his arms in a dream,

he understands that he has probably fallen for her.

-

At the princess's residence.

Wen Shuning leans lazily against Jiang Hengsheng, feels her slightly rounded belly, and tugs gently on his hair. "Where are my pastries, hairpins, and sachets?"

Jiang Hengsheng kisses the top of her head and coaxes her, "I'll make them for you myself. Two of each."
