[Deeply devoted, insecure eldest son x soft and beautiful daughter of a marquis]
Jiang Fu hates Shen Su and has never once looked at him, because all her misfortunes began after she was forced to marry him.
The Jiang family is convicted of treason. Everyone but her is executed, their bodies wrapped in straw mats and left exposed in the wilderness. In a single night, Jiang Fu falls from a noble family's daughter to the child of a family of criminals.
Jiang Fu can't believe her elder brother would commit treason. In secret, she entrusts the truth-finding to her childhood friend, a girl she grew up with in the women's quarters, and the man she loves. In the end, however, she dies at the hands of the friend and lover she trusted most.
After her death, her lingering soul sees Shen Su bury her alongside the rest of the Jiang family, his eyes bloodshot. Then he takes a blade and slaughters the entire family of those who harmed her.
Only then does she realize who truly loved her most.
She had hated the wrong person all along.
Reborn, with the Jiang family safe and sound, Jiang Fu wraps her arms around her elder brother and says sweetly, "Brother, I want to get married."
Her brother stares in shock. "Which young man has caught my little sister's eye?"
Jiang Fu's eyes sparkle. "Shen Su, the eldest son of the Pingyang Marquis's household."
*
In Shen Su's eyes, Jiang Fu is like a dazzling ray of light, someone beyond the reach of a man like him, who deserves to live only in the abyss. All he can do is quietly care for her and protect her.
But he never expected her to draw closer and closer, until at last she boldly wraps her arms around his waist and looks up at him. "A Su, I like you. Do you like me?"
*
All I can do is protect you in silence. I'm good for nothing else. -- Shen Su
It's because you're no good that I have to stay by your side and give you happiness. -- Jiang Fu
*It's not that I'm stubborn. It's that you're worth it.*
*
Reader's guide:
1. This story is also known as The Noble Girl's Sweetness. It is set in an imaginary version of the Song dynasty.
2. The heroine is reborn, but this is not a revenge story. It's a slow burn and mostly focuses on everyday life.
3. The hero grows over the course of the story. My writing is limited, so please don't flame me if it's not to your taste.

A Fine Match in Jade
One-line synopsis: After their marriage, a mismatched couple go from mutual resentment to slowly finding their rhythm, then join hands to build a paper-making business.
*
Their marriage is arranged by their parents and matchmakers. Even though Yuan Huaijin knows that Cao Fourth Son is not a good match, she has no choice.
The Cao family comes from a family of peddlers, while the Yuan family has been a scholarly household for generations. Their families are ill-matched in status. To make matters worse, Cao Fourth Son has always been inept, and his bad leg makes it difficult for him to walk. Many people sigh that Yuan Huaijin is getting a raw deal.
What's more, just days after Yuan Huaijin marries into the family, the Cao household starts clamoring to split up. All Cao Fourth Son and his wife get is a little workshop that the Cao family stopped using many years ago.
Not only are outsiders pessimistic about their marriage, but everyone in the Cao family thinks they'll end up hating each other.
No one could have imagined that the young couple would use that small workshop to build a paper-making business step by step, going from unknown to famous far and wide, and eventually producing paper for the imperial court. Cao Fourth Son and Yuan Huaijin also become a loving couple everyone envies.
*
What outsiders think of Cao Fourth Son and Yuan Huaijin: Fourth Son's wife still hasn't gotten pregnant. That cripple probably hasn't even touched his wife's hand!
What they're really like: Fourth Son, you... be gentle...!
*
Theme: The world is vast and life is long. Somewhere, there will always be someone who makes you want to treat them with tenderness.

Emmmmm The first half was okay, but during the reading process I always felt that the male and female protagonists were a bit too "holy". But the second half ends too quickly, and you can guess the ending after reading almost every sentence without even reading it. The writing style of the whole text is relatively average. This is not obvious in the first half, but it is very obvious at the end. It is very descriptive, especially the last chapter. Although the text mentioned that the male protagonist's growth is slow, I really didn't expect it to be so slow. In the 78th chapter of the story, he only joins the army in chapter 76, which makes the plot too slow. Personally, I think there are some places in the article that haven't been explained clearly. For example, the emotional changes of the male protagonist's biological mother and adoptive father towards him cannot be mentioned every time with a few sentences: "It has been me who was at fault for so many years, not an innocent child." There is a chapter that mentions the female protagonist and her brother. He said that he had a dream (past life), but it seems that his brother's reaction was not mentioned later; the emperor's dream was very abrupt. I originally thought that the male and female protagonists and other supporting characters would work together to change the past life. But as soon as the emperor had a dream, there was nothing to do, and the rest It means that the male protagonist improves his status to marry the female protagonist; the last thing I think is a bigger problem is, can someone really fall in love with another person because of guilt (that is, the female protagonist likes the male protagonist in this life because of what happened in the previous life), and the female protagonist has no love for the male protagonist in the previous life. If you have a good feeling, even if you later regret it and feel very guilty, you should not immediately fall in love with him alone. I think it may be common sense for the female protagonist to slowly approach the male protagonist after rebirth, help him, make up for him, and gradually fall in love with him in the process.
Please make a side story, please, let me see their children again... Hehe?
It turns out to be the male lead Mary Sue

The author is very imaginative. Is the emperor reborn or awakening his past life memories?
