A Glimmer of Hope

This novel will go VIP on Tuesday, April 27, with three chapters released that day.

Xie Dongchi transmigrated from a wealthy family's top student to a poor farmer's son.

Fortunately, he still had his wits about him. With hard work and the help of kind people along the way, he finally passed the imperial exams and returned home in glory.

After coming home, however, he learned that the only daughter of Shopkeeper An, who had once helped him, had been jilted by a scholar. After passing the provincial exam, the scholar looked down on the An family for being merchants. Forgetting all the help they'd given him over the years, he sent back a letter breaking off the engagement, making the Ans a laughingstock.

Shopkeeper An was devastated, and his daughter An Xin was so hounded by rumors and gossip that she could barely go on living. In a moment of compassion, Xie Dongchi proposed to the An family.

He thought he was only repaying a debt of gratitude. How could he have known his little wife would be gentle, adorable, beautiful, virtuous, and a superb cook?

He was grateful the other man had refused to marry her. Now that this blessing had come to him, he would never let anyone else have it.

A gentle, scheming scholar X a lovely young woman with top-tier cooking skills

When a Heartbreaker Becomes the Heroine of a Torture Romance

As a notorious playboy, Cheng Jing got what was coming to her, much to the delight of the public: she transmigrated.

What's more, she transmigrated into a tragic romance novel as its heroine, who was tormented for most of the story.

The heroine would suffer two hundred chapters of emotional and physical abuse at the hands of the hero, the supporting actress, and others. Only then would she run away, heartbroken and pregnant, and discover by a twist of fate that she was the real princess, switched at birth.

Naturally, after the heroine reclaimed her identity, the hero would realize that he'd fallen in love with her long ago, having lost her. In the end, they would reunite, put the past behind them, and live happily ever after as a family.

When Cheng Jing had first read the ending, she'd had just one thought: You get abused when you're Cinderella, but once you become a princess, he realizes he loves you? That's a pretty cheap kind of love.

But now that the heroine was her, she couldn't be bothered with some angsty romance. Getting her identity back was the urgent thing.

Wouldn't being a princess be great? Why waste your life hanging yourself from one crooked tree?
