With her birth mother gone early and an unkind stepmother, Yun Wu is careful in everything she does. All she wants is to marry the young master of the Ye family, to whom she has been betrothed since childhood, once she comes of age.
But on the day of her wedding, her stepsister takes her engagement and marries into the Ye family in a grand ceremony, becoming its young madam. Yun Wu, meanwhile, is married off by her stepmother to a concubine-born son of the Duke's mansion, to bring him good luck.
Word has it the duke's son is frail and sickly by nature, beyond the help of medicine, and likely to die at any moment.
Yun Wu cries at her sickbed, but there's nothing she can do.
She devotes herself to caring for her ailing husband, hoping that when he eventually passes away, the Duke's family will remember her kindness and take her in, giving her a place to live.
But as she cares for him, day after day...
Why hasn't my husband died? And why is he getting healthier and healthier?
The former crown prince was framed and falsely accused. After his coup failed, he took his own life. The crown princess gave birth to his posthumous child at the cost of her own life, then had a trusted retainer secretly smuggle the child out of the palace to be raised elsewhere.
In his previous life, Xie Yi painstakingly plotted and fought to clear his birth father's name and reclaim everything that belonged to him, only to die one day before he could seize power.
All those past events are like clouds and smoke. Given another chance, he doesn't want to fight anymore.
But now there's a young woman by his side, married to him under the pretext of bringing him good luck.
She's delicate but adorable, thoughtful and attentive toward him. Even when she cries, she does so quietly. When she's bullied, she can only keep silent and let her large tears fall.
Xie Yi: ...
Xie Yi pulls himself together again.
Fine. I might as well fight for it one more time.
1. Marriage first, love later. A light, everyday story.
2. This is a fictional setting, so let's not get hung up on historical accuracy, okay? XD

They Say My Dad Is the Emperor
Blurb:
Shanshan lost her father before she was even born, and she and her mother depended on each other.
One day, a noble from the capital arrives and claims that her mother is the true daughter of a high-ranking official's household, switched at birth with another baby.
But it's all too late.
The impostor daughter has already married her childhood sweetheart, to whom she was betrothed before birth. She's now a marquise's wife, with a loving husband and children, living a life of privilege.
Her mother, on the other hand, is a merchant's daughter whose husband has died, and she has a little burden of a child in tow.
Even if they each return to their rightful places, the situation is already set in stone.
After the initial guilt wears off, some people soon begin to think the two of them are too low-class, a disgrace to a noble family.

The usually stern and imposing emperor sees her mother and accidentally knocks over the wine cup on the table...
