[My new novel, "Stealing Jade (Reborn)," is now underway. Come visit me!]
Who could have imagined that Shen Fangning, the most beautiful woman in the capital at her coming-of-age ceremony, would end up an old maid whom no one wanted after her engagement was broken?
Her parents died, leaving her alone and helpless. She kept her brilliance hidden and lived under someone else's roof. Even so, Old Madam Shen couldn't stand the sight of her and was always looking for a way to marry her off.
Then the once-glorious top scholar found himself with no hope of advancement and shunned by everyone like a venomous snake.
Two people fallen into the dirt made do with each other and built a life together.
At first, the people of the capital laughed at the married couple. One was supposedly cursed to bring death to her family, the other had offended the powerful. They looked like a pair of doomed lovers.
But in the end, Fu Zhengze rose to the highest offices in the land and entered the cabinet as a chancellor, while Shen Fangning became a first-rank noblewoman and a leading figure in commerce.
*1v1, with an eight-year age gap between the leads
Synopsis of "Stealing Jade":
The thing Yu Yao regretted most was listening to her mother and rushing headlong into the Yan Palace.
The emperor first made her a Zhaoyi, then promoted her to Guifei within a hundred days, entrusting her with the affairs of the six palaces and elevating her to a position equal to that of the empress. Yu Yao's rise was the fastest in the hundred-year history of Great Yan.
But the emperor did not love her, and the six palaces were little more than an empty title. Yu Yao held a lofty name for three years, rarely saw the emperor, and could not escape the imperial palace. A great fire claimed her life, and when she opened her eyes, she had returned to the day she was first made Guifei.
At that time, she was the emperor's sole favorite, unmatched in the palace.
The women around her looked on. Yu Yao decided she never wanted to love that bastard again. Let him go love whoever he wanted!
Theme: Rise again from rock bottom, strive upward, and never give in.
Well, whether the cousin will become a concubine in the end is completely different from whether the cousin has her thoughts and whether the old woman has her thoughts. It's one thing if it doesn't work out in the end, but just having it happen is enough to make you feel uncomfortable.
Her father's death should be related to Mr. Shen.
I really haven't finished it yet, it's beautiful.
Finished spreading flowers!
Check in, thank you for finishing the flowers
The introduction is quite good, with a good beginning, an omitted middle, and a hasty ending.
Damn, waiting for your update
Watching it, I like it very much. I hope all your worries will go away with the wind.
I'm almost ready to apply for relief before I come back.
Is it still updated??
