I Married My Mortal Enemy, and His Whole Family Can't Escape

[Remember to follow the author's page in the upper-right corner! The next book is The Night of Our Wedding, My Husband and I Both Took a Tumble] A low-level office drone suddenly transmigrates into the legitimate daughter of a military family, with fine clothes, good food, and nothing to worry about. Yan Lingheng decides that at last, the perfect life has fallen into her lap. Unfortunately, as she grows older, it comes time to marry. In an era of arranged marriages where bride and groom barely meet, she is afraid of being matched with a scoundrel and spending the rest of her life in misery. So she decides to strike first, snatch the top scholar, and have him marry into her family as her kept man. Just as she's about to succeed, an imperial decree arrives, arranging her marriage. Not only can she no longer become the top scholar's wife, she must marry into her sworn enemy's family instead. The civil and military factions of the Great Ye Dynasty are bitterly opposed. The Yan family are military officers, while her future in-laws are the foremost family of civil officials, the household of the prime minister. The great houses are governed by strict rules and endless formalities, all capable of grinding a daughter-in-law down without her even noticing. Her parents are red-eyed with worry, afraid that once she enters that den of misery, she'll meet a horrible end. Yan Lingheng, however, is not afraid in the least. Who knows which side will torment whom? She's confident she can make life miserable for the entire family. Three days after the wedding, she gives her husband the title of "Most Spineless Man" and makes him famous throughout Wangjing. A month after the wedding, her parents-in-law start talking about separating, and her father-in-law even goes to court with scratch marks on his face. Six months after the wedding, she's locked in the ancestral hall to reflect on herself for encouraging her sisters-in-law to divorce. That very night, the ancestral hall is torn apart. On their first anniversary, she can't help exclaiming how wonderful it is to marry into the family of your sworn enemy. She can turn the place upside down without a guilty conscience. It's an absolute blast. The next book is The Night of Our Wedding, My Husband and I Both Took a Tumble. Here's the blurb: Zhou Yingtang catches the latest trend and is born into a wealthy, prestigious family. Her life is as comfortable as can be. Eighteen years fly by, and she can no longer avoid marriage negotiations. After sending the matchmaker away, she decides to take matters into her own hands. A handsome, fair-skinned young nobleman comes from Wangjing. He has power and money, and she falls for him at first sight. Oh, and he's sickly. Zhou Yingtang thinks that's even better: become a widow early, take charge of the household, and build a fortune by staying single. She's determined to marry him! It's just that the sickly young man likes innocent, sweet, gentle women, and Zhou Yingtang, who's full of schemes, is hardly a match. That doesn't faze her. She's a natural at putting on an act, and after only a few meetings, she plucks this lofty flower from its mountaintop. On their wedding night, the sickly young man shows off his prowess. Zhou Yingtang begs him to stop, but to no avail. Unable to keep up the act, she gives him two slaps. The couple spend the night arguing by lamplight, each calling the other a liar whose whole family deserves to die. Theme: Don't give up on yourself just because your goal is lofty. If you never make an effort, how can you expect to see a rainbow?
