After My Husband, Who Died in Battle, Returned

Blurb One Yu Shu was an orphan who grew up relying on her aunt. The day before her aunt planned to throw her and her younger sister out of the Wei household, Yu Shu learned that she was merely a side character in a story. She and her sister lived under someone else's roof. Their aunt mistreated them in secret, while their cousin kept eyeing Yu Shu, wanting to make her his concubine. Yu Shu took her sister and left her uncle's home. Unfortunately, their good days did not last long. Yu Shu was poisoned and died young. Her death became a stepping stone for the hero and heroine, advancing their relationship. So she had been handed a doomed-to-die-young script? Yu Shu refused. There was no way she was dying young. Blurb Two The matchmaker said Yu Shu was born lucky and would bring good fortune to her husband. Through a twist of fate, Yu Shu married into the Pei family. But before she could even meet her new husband, Pei Du was conscripted and sent off to war. Two years later, he died on the battlefield. Yu Shu: Maybe I'm lucky for my next husband. The Pei family was a little poor, but as long as Yu Shu did not make trouble, she could still build a good life for herself. Life as a widow was truly delightful. Just as the matchmaker came to discuss remarriage with Yu Shu, well, her husband, who had supposedly died in battle, came back alive! After Pei Du came back from the dead and rose to the highest ranks of the court, Yu Shu discovered that her supposedly dead husband was the hero of the story, and that the original heroine had loved him her entire life. Yu Shu: ...Don't panic. Should I divorce him, or ask for a mutual separation? Blurb written on November 23, 2020, revised on September 3, 2021. Screenshots available. 1. Next historical romance, The Chief Councilor's Doomed Young Wife, now complete ^0^ After the Marquis of Yong'an passed away, his estate gradually fell into decline. Lady Ji planned to find wealthy husbands for her two daughters to support the family. Shen Muchao was young and accomplished, with an excellent chance of passing the imperial examinations and becoming a rising star at court. After careful consideration, Shen Muchao became the most suitable fish in the Ji family's "pond." Lady Ji intended to betroth her younger daughter to Shen Muchao, but by a twist of fate, the marriage fell to the Ji family's eldest daughter, Ji Yunyao. On their wedding night, as she gazed at the man who had almost become her brother-in-law, Ji Yunyao finally realized that she was merely a cannon-fodder villainess in a story. Shen Muchao was indeed a fine catch, but he had no interest in her. In the story, Ji Yunyao had nothing going for her but her pretty face. After they married, she was spoiled and domineering, squandered money, and constantly caused trouble. Shen Muchao had no affection for her at all. He had promised not to take a concubine, but in their third year of marriage, Shen Muchao brought a woman home. That woman even had a child! Ji Yunyao objected, and Shen Muchao grew even colder toward her. Half a year later, Ji Yunyao died. Shen Muchao had not once set foot in her room. He later rose through the ranks and soon forgot his young deceased wife. In short, Shen Muchao was a poor, stingy, fastidious cad. She absolutely would not die young, and she absolutely would not stay married to Shen Muchao. The more she acted up, the more he should hate her. The thirty-eighth time Ji Yunyao threw a tantrum, she looked at Shen Muchao's particularly cold face and blinked. "So, do you want a divorce now?" Shen Muchao: ...He thought he could endure a little longer! * One day after they married, Shen Muchao found a small notebook on the bed. A familiar handwriting caught his eye: "Another day without divorcing my husband. How awful!" Forced to take a delicate young wife, Shen Muchao did not care and felt little affection for her. As long as Ji Yunyao did not cause trouble, that was enough. He thought she was inconsequential. Later, Shen Muchao regretted it. Divorce was out of the question. If he could not win Ji Yunyao's heart, would having a child make him more precious to her? * Ji Yunyao: Even after the divorce, I won't ask for much of the property. Just a little more than half will do. Later, Ji Yunyao: Huh? Weren't you supposed to be the doomed young wife who died early? Why hasn't that heartless Shen thrown his wife and child aside to bring his true love home? 2. Next transmigration novel, The Villainess in an Ancient Apocalypse Story, please add it to your reading list. Lin Xia was the villainess in a restricted historical romance. Following a tired old formula, she had been jealous of the heroine since childhood, stolen the credit for saving her life, and thrown herself at all the powerful men. Whenever the heroes gave the heroine smoldering looks, Lin Xia would blunder in, mock and frame the second male lead, Jiang Si, and even drug him. After diligently following most of the plot, a gigantic meteor shower suddenly fell from the sky. A strange disease appeared, and the infected became bloodthirsty and attacked people with their teeth. They were called "living corpses." A group of people hid in a ruined temple. Outside, several living corpses rammed against the wooden door. The girl closest to the door trembled with fear. Lin Xia was weak and slender; it would take less than fifteen minutes for the living corpses to break in and tear her apart. Jiang Si, sitting at the far end, held a sharp blade and looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him. Such a foolish person might as well become a foolish living corpse. But at the moment the living corpses broke through the door, Lin Xia awakened! Well, was there even any need to awaken? The sweet historical romance had turned into a restricted apocalypse story. Had all her hard work over the past decade been for nothing? * The young general, the high-level living corpse, the leader of the refuge city, the healer developing a cure for the living corpses... Male leads one through six appeared in turn, but none of them had anything to do with Lin Xia. There was, however, a plot where they threw her into a horde of living corpses to make the heroine happy. When the disaster struck, Jiang Si thought that Lin Xia, a drama queen with no ability to protect herself, would be the first to die. Unexpectedly, just like her name, Lin Xia had the vitality of a forest in midsummer. She fought living corpses, stockpiled supplies, grew vegetables and grain, and fled from extreme weather. Even the leaders of the various refuge cities competed to become her underlings. Lin Xia: The apocalypse is hard, but an apocalypse romance is even harder. Either I get bitten by a living corpse on day one, or I survive! A little skit: At the moment the living corpses broke into the ruined temple, newly awakened Lin Xia immediately threw herself at Jiang Si, gazing at him with tender affection as she clung to the young man's robe. She made sure everyone in the temple could hear her: "Brother, I'm your long-lost sister. Save me!" Jiang Si: ... Looking at the drama queen before him and the accusing glares from everyone else, Jiang Si's murderous intent only grew stronger! An ancient-world natural disaster apocalypse story featuring stockpiling, fighting zombies, a System, farming, and infrastructure building. Theme: Stay optimistic wherever you are.
