Blurb:

Rong Lingzhen died on the imperial boulevard on a winter's day amid swirling snow.

Quite a few people knew her. She used her status as the Empress's younger sister to cause trouble everywhere.

She would either ruin the Xi family's banquet or beat up the Dong family's madam. To marry Lu Yuantan, she even killed the woman he loved.

Everyone in Shengjing knew she was a crude country bumpkin. They all felt sorry that a man as "dignified and composed, bright and graceful" as Lu Yuantan had ended up with a poisonous woman like her.

After being reborn, Rong Lingzhen couldn't adjust. Caught between love and hate, she even called him her dear husband a few times.

Seeing him wake from unconsciousness, Rong Lingzhen cried, "Husband, are you all right?"

Lu Yuantan: "Fourth Young Lady, please show some propriety."

When introducing Lu Yuantan to her nephew, she said, "Quick, call him Uncle..."

Lu Yuantan: "She's ill."

While everyone in the prince's manor chattered about the matter, Rong Lingzhen shouted, "It's not like I love my husband!"

Lu Yuantan covered his face: Please show some propriety.

After he told her to show some propriety time and time again, Rong Lingzhen learned her lesson and stopped calling him those two words.

But she broke her vow during an argument with someone: "My husband already has someone he loves. Forget you, even I can't marry him."

Lu Yuantan blushed. "How could you..."

To avoid a lecture, Rong Lingzhen quickly covered her mouth. "I misspoke, I misspoke. I mean... Husband, you..."

Lu Yuantan lowered his head and smiled. He didn't hold it against her, only asking, "What about me?"

Upcoming story blurb:

Cui Shu thought he'd simply been too good to Li Yang in his previous life. She was heartless and killed him without even batting an eye, so he would give her a taste of her own medicine.

"Please help me, Heir Apparent." Li Yang didn't look at Cui Shu, but felt as though she had used up all her strength across both lifetimes.

Cui Shu stared at her for a moment, then suddenly spoke. "If you're asking for help, you should show some sincerity. But I can't see any sincerity from the princess."

Li Yang felt she no longer knew this Cui Shu. She had spent five years married off to a foreign land, endured one hardship after another, and finally returned home. Who could have guessed that an imperial decree would force Cui Shu to marry her? It was meant to humiliate her, but he bore it all the same. He had always treated her with the gentleness of a spring breeze and a soft rain. He had practiced Daoism since childhood and was mild by nature, never so severe before.

"A hundred mu of fertile fields outside the capital, more than ten estates, all can be yours. Pick whatever gold, silver, or jewels you want." Li Yang looked up and met his ill-intentioned gaze. She felt guilty toward him and had a genuine favor to ask. No princess in the world could be less like a princess than she was, especially in front of him.

"Heh." Cui Shu chuckled, but his eyes were icy.

"How many am I?" Cui Shu stood up. "How many people did the princess ask before me?"

Li Yang met his gaze. It was difficult to say, "You're the last one."

Theme: Live with hope, and wait calmly for life to unfold.
