Qin Wu was famous for being a dutiful daughter. She got along with her siblings and honored her parents so well that even the emperor would have liked to award her a monument to filial piety.
Until she had a dream...
It turned out she was nothing more than a way for her "parents" to remember their late biological daughter, Qin Jiayan.
Even Pei Rong, who had pledged himself to her, saw her as a stand-in for his beloved Jiayan.
Qin Jiayan was kind and gentle. Qin Jiayan was pure and captivating.
Qin Wu couldn't hold a candle to her.
So when Qin Jiayan returned and Qin Wu learned the truth...
Qin Wu: You bunch of idiots! I'll smash your damn heads in!
The story of a Qin girl reaching above her station to marry Young General Pei had everyone talking.
Though the public knew nothing of the details, they were eager to see the Qin family made a laughingstock. That is, until they saw this:
The proud and carefree General Pei Rong hid his injured wrist as he held out a bowl of medicine brewed with his own blood, coaxing her softly, "Be good, A Wu. Drink your medicine..."
His eyes reddened. "Once you've finished it, A Feng will take you boating, all right?"
"All right! A Feng is the best!" the young woman replied brightly.
Everyone drew a sharp breath.
Wasn't A Feng the name of Qin's former fiance?

In her previous life, Ye Jianyao was the emperor's favorite.
She was clever and resourceful. The greatest trouble she faced in the palace was when a eunuch set her up and tried to spend the night with her.
To fight back, she turned the tables and dragged the crown prince, Rong Heng, into it.
It should have been a secret known to almost no one, but unexpectedly...
One spring day, while praying for blessings at the imperial temple, the usually refined and composed crown prince stopped her with a stern promise to take responsibility. He didn't dare meet her eyes, hurriedly placed a hairpin in her arms, and blushingly vowed, "I will marry no one but you."
Those four words made her the sharpest blade in his climb to power.
On the first day of the new emperor's reign, an arrow pierced her heart.
When Ye Jianyao opened her eyes again, she had returned to a time before any of it had happened.
*
Everyone knew that the female official Ye Jianyao was utterly heartless.
But Crown Prince Rong Heng knew she was hopelessly in love with him, even going so far as to plot her way into his bed.
Reborn, the crown prince watched her play hard to get, waiting for her to offer herself to him.
Instead, the beauty took someone else's hand and said with a girlish smile, "Your Highness, this is my fiance."
Rong Heng went mad.
Reborn from the start, chasing-wife crematorium, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
