This novel is complete.
Everything is fated, and there's nothing you can do about it. That is Rong Xibao's life in a nutshell.
When Rong Xibao turned fifteen, her father was suddenly overcome with guilt and acknowledged her as his illegitimate daughter, born to his concubine.
According to the story, she is supposed to take her legitimate elder sister's place and marry Zhao Chen, the brutally ruthless Prince of Chu, whose very name strikes terror into people's hearts. Zhao Chen will later conquer the Seven Kingdoms and unite the realm. She, in turn, will become the first empress in history, revered by all and exalted beyond compare.
But her elder sister, Chen Juan, has transmigrated into a book. Unwilling to remain a supporting character and determined to become empress, she refuses to let Rong Xibao take her place as the bride.
Later, the Duke of Chen's family makes a grand spectacle of marrying off their daughters, with the sisters' weddings held on the same day. Both brides bask in unrivaled splendor.
Later still, Zhao Qian conquers the Seven Kingdoms and unites the realm, while Rong Xibao once again becomes empress. Of course, that's only what the story seems to be. In truth, Rong Xibao is the real mastermind. She personally poisoned two emperors...

"I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than an apartment in Pudong."
"Beautiful Xishuangbanna couldn't keep my father here. Shanghai is so big, yet there's no home for me."
After her elder sister dies of an illness, Chen Lan boards a train to Shanghai with a letter of introduction in hand. She intends to honor her sister's dying wish and take her two nieces to live with their uncle by marriage.
On the train, she unexpectedly meets Han Shu, a serviceman. With his help, she finds her brother-in-law, Liu Bao.
But her brother-in-law has already remarried. He refuses to acknowledge the children and won't even let them inside, accusing Chen Lan of being a swindler trying to extort money from him.
Chen Lan has no friends or family in Shanghai, and her two nieces are still little. Seeing how helpless she is, Han Shu offers to marry her so they can raise the children together.
Han Shu's late wife left him with three sons.
The eldest, Han Heng, is eight, extremely overweight, and ill-tempered.
The second, Han Shu, is six and quite sweet-tempered, but in poor health.
The youngest, Han Chen, is three and a half, too young to understand much, and cries all day long.
No one could have guessed that Chen Lan would turn such a lousy hand into a royal flush.
Years later, the eldest, Han Heng, joins the military and serves his country, earning a First-Class Merit award.
The second, Han Shu, devotes himself to medicine, saving lives and healing the injured.
The third, Han Chen, pursues a career in law and becomes a leading legal advocate.
And her two nieces?
The elder, Chen Shasha, becomes the queen of table tennis and marries into a wealthy family.
The younger, Chen Zhanzhan, teaches at Tsinghua and spreads the joy of learning far and wide.
As for Chen Lan, all she has to do is enjoy the good life. Yet before she even turns forty, she already owns 666 buildings in Pudong.
Her only problem is that she has too many properties, and collecting rent is a hassle.
Coming soon: After Losing My Memory, I Married a Peasant
Shen Mingmei is the legitimate daughter of the Great General of Zhenyuan. Her maternal grandfather is the chief minister, and her aunt is the imperial concubine who reigns supreme in the palace. Shen Mingmei herself is breathtakingly beautiful, with a reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital and a place as the ideal candidate for Crown Princess.
That is, until her maternal grandfather is implicated in a rebellion. Her father even turns against his own family, sending her mother to prison before publicly taking a new wife.
With nowhere else to turn, Shen Mingmei seeks help from Chen Che, the Prince of Chu, the man she once looked down on, broke off her engagement to, and humiliated.
But Chen Che rejects her too.
In the end, Shen Mingmei can only follow her exiled mother to the far north. On the way, she runs into bandits and tries to end her life by throwing herself against a wall. A passing man saves her and takes her to a tribe of werewolves.
Atabu is a complete country bumpkin, barely literate but blessed with a strong pair of arms. When he realizes Shen Mingmei remembers nothing, his mind immediately starts working. He calls her his wife and lies that they are a loving couple whose affection for each other is unshakable.
Shen Mingmei believes him. They have children and live happily together, until one day Crown Prince Chen Sheng finds her.
"Ah Heng, I've searched so long for you!"
And then she remembers everything...
A little scene:
The moment Shen Mingmei wakes, her whole body trembles. Looking frightened and pitiful, she asks, "Where am I? Who am I?"
Atabu had been wearing a worried expression, but suddenly his face lights up. He pulls her into his arms and gently coaxes her. "My wife, how could you forget your own husband? It breaks my heart."
Tears gather in Shen Mingmei's eyes. She blinks, her lashes fluttering, and clutches her head. "Husband? My head hurts. I didn't mean to forget you."
Atabu kisses her forehead. "Don't cry, my wife. Your husband will take care of everything. You once said you liked Yanzi Island, so I bought it yesterday. Today, I'm giving it to you."
Theme: Happiness comes from living freely. There's no need to envy princes and nobles.

Chen Juan's supporting role is very three-dimensional. She has clear goals and strong action. What's even more rare is that she can lead troops into battle in times of crisis. It is a pity that due to being a woman, she cannot be used in the political arena. But even if she could enter politics, her character would be more like a military attache like a general rather than a civilian official.
Sprinkle flowers, spread flowers, love you, love you, love you
I have always had an idea that women chase men, but later the women gave up and wanted to pursue their own careers. There is no crematorium for men either. It's just that everyone is tortured by work and doesn't have so many romantic feelings anymore. We think so much and work overtime to finish it. But I feel that the article on this theme is too realistic and boring. The purpose of novels is to compensate for the shortcomings of reality.
You are so diligent. Come on, the next book will be even better (? `▽??)?

Oh my god, two levels of reversal
So it was Blind Liu who predicted the plague and thought Ye Zhiqiu was the one who could pass through books. Was the plague caused by too many variables brought about by rebirth?
