I Reincarnated as the Male Lead's Half-Sister

Blurb:

The legitimate son of the Changping Marquis's household: handsome as a tree, brilliantly talented, and outstanding in bearing. A peerless young man of his generation.

He ranks first among the people in the capital whom young noblewomen most want to marry, and is the pride of the Changping Marquis, the First Madam, and Qin Yeluan's elder sister, his legitimate sister.

It might seem that none of this has anything to do with Qin Yeluan. She's only a daughter born of a concubine, and because the First Madam dislikes her, she's practically invisible in the household.

But she alone knows that it's all a lie, because...

Her legitimate elder brother isn't the First Madam's biological son. The First Madam brought him home from outside years ago.

But Qin Yeluan doesn't care. As a concubine-born daughter, simply surviving is already difficult enough. She has no energy to worry about anything else, until one day...

The truth comes out.

Her lofty elder brother is driven out of the household and left by the roadside, barely clinging to life. Qin Yeluan can't bear to leave him there, so she takes him in.

After that, she becomes the envy of the entire capital.

P.S. The male and female leads are not related by blood.

"What Should I Do If My Stepson Wants to Wipe Out the Whole Village?"

Blurb: Lin Xiaoxing thought she had it bad enough. After transmigrating into a book, she hadn't become the heroine or some noble young lady, just an unnamed village girl with no real part to play. To make matters worse, her father was a drunk, and she had to worry about making ends meet every day.

Then one day, her drunken father remarried a widow from the village and brought a boy home. That's when she realized her stepson had it even worse than she did.

He was nothing but skin and bones, and whenever his mother was in a bad mood, she'd beat him.

With no adults to protect him, the villagers treated him badly, too. They often cursed at him and threw stones at him.

And since her drunken father was afraid of her strength and didn't dare provoke her, he took all his anger out on her stepson instead...

Seeing this, even Lin Xiaoxing couldn't help thinking the poor kid had it rough. He'd escaped one pit of misery only to fall into a den of wolves!

Then she discovered that her stepson was the great villain in the book, the one who wiped out the whole village, including her, out of vengeance.

Her: “...”

Um... how do I stop my stepson from wiping out the whole village, including me?

Lin Xiaoxing looked at the little boy gazing at her timidly, and finally decided she'd have to save herself. How hard could raising a child be?

She could do it. She was sure of it!

P.S. 1. The male and female leads are not related by blood, and later they won't be registered in the same household.

2. Older woman/younger man romance, three-year age gap.

"I Become a Pillar of the Nation Through Spending Money"

Blurb: As a merchant's daughter, Lin Ye has always been at the bottom of the social pecking order. She's looked down on everywhere she goes, even at banquets, and the marquis's heir she was promised to after saving his life has been stolen from her.

The marquis's heir: “Your birth is too lowly. You're not good enough for me.”

The marquis's young lady who stole her fiance: “Your status is simply too low-class. How could the marquis's household possibly marry a merchant's daughter like you?”

Lin Ye: “Hah. You have no idea what it means to be richer than a nation.”

After finally ending the engagement, the marquis's household thought they'd never have anything to do with that merchant's daughter again. But wherever they went, they kept hearing her name.

They went out for a meal or a shopping trip, and every restaurant and shop belonged to her.

They wanted to buy a house or farmland, and the landlords and landowners all turned out to be her.

They secretly sent people to cause trouble, only to find she'd surrounded herself with a whole army of experts.

Later, she built schools, aided disaster victims, and ended wars... gradually becoming a pillar of the nation.

Everyone in the marquis's household: “Isn't she just an ordinary merchant's daughter?”

Theme: No good deed is too small.
