From Concubine's Daughter to Marchioness

After transmigrating as an ancient-era concubine-born daughter, Su Tingxue wanted nothing more than to lie flat. She wouldn’t compete or fight, and she steered clear of right and wrong. Her legal mother treated her fairly well because she was obedient and well-behaved, and arranged a marriage for her with the son of a close family friend. Her future husband was gentle and proper. Though his family had fallen on hard times, he worked hard to get ahead. She was quite pleased with the match and only had to wait for him to pass the imperial examination before marrying him. Who could have guessed that her second older sister, also a concubine-born daughter, would drug the nephew of their legal mother to ingratiate herself with that side of the family? When her scheme was exposed, she fled in a panic. Su Tingxue knew nothing about it and blundered straight into the scene. Behind a slightly raised beaded curtain, in the dark blue canopy bed, the youngest marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty, his jade-like face flushed with desire and his phoenix eyes damp, breathed unevenly and raised a long, slender finger toward her. In a dignified voice, he said, “Come here.” Su Tingxue: !!! * After that night of madness, she was anxious at first, afraid he might cling to her. Fortunately, he seemed even less willing than she was to bring it up, and remained as cold and distant as ever toward her in public and in private. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, settled down to live her own life, and worked hard to save up her dowry while waiting for her fiancé to marry her. Then one day, she was cornered in a secret chamber, and learned that the idea of leaving no trace was only wishful thinking on her part. * Pei Huan was elegant and impressive, accomplished in both letters and arms. His paternal family was illustrious, and his maternal family was prestigious. In the eyes of the world, he was the moon in the heavens. Born to privilege, he believed that love between men and women was an easy prize anyone could seize in this vulgar world. He never imagined that one day he would use every underhanded means to possess a woman, plotting and scheming without scruple. Reading Guide: 1.

Coming soon 1: 《I’m the Substitute for the Restricted-Romance Novel’s Female Lead》 After transmigrating, Dou Wu found herself as the concubine-born younger sister of the female lead in an adult novel. Everyone in the capital knew the Dou family had raised a fine daughter. She was as beautiful as a celestial being, like Chang’e herself, and had captured the hearts of many young noblemen. Everyone said Dou Yan was a rare beauty, the kind seen only once in a century. An ordinary woman who looked even a third as good as her would be enough to make people lose their minds. She had many admirers, one of whom was particularly unhinged. After she rejected him repeatedly, he threatened to get his hands on her and torture her to death. That man had powerful backing, and the Dou family didn’t dare offend him. So they came up with a plan: send him the concubine-born daughter who looked about fifty or sixty percent like Dou Yan, and let him vent his anger on her. When Dou Wu arrived, she opened her eyes to hear her legal mother’s snide voice: “The Dou family has raised you for years. Serving an important person is a blessing you must have earned over several lifetimes.” Still dazed, she was carried in a sedan chair to the man’s room. In the dim light, his face was mostly hidden, but the part she could see was so devastatingly beautiful it took her breath away. Remembering the wretched death her original self suffered in the book, she decided that a quick death was better than a slow one. She forced a weak smile. “Come on, hurry up and kill me.” Coming soon 2: 《After My Life Was Stolen, I Came Back to Life》 The Pei household had a pair of cousins who were as beautiful as flowers, like twins.
