The Crown Princess of the Zhao Kingdom died just after turning nineteen.
Her obsession was so strong that her soul lingered in the mortal world for several days.
She saw the Crown Prince, usually so ruthless and bloodthirsty, weep all night before her coffin and keep vigil for her for three days without eating or drinking.
She saw her parents and elder brother, who had always doted on her, weep until they were brokenhearted and gaunt.
She also saw the childhood friend who had once promised to marry her with his arms around the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue's household, calling her a jinx who had died too soon and ruined his plans!
She had waited all her life, never letting the Crown Prince touch her, so she could preserve her chastity and marry him one day. She never imagined that from beginning to end, she had been nothing but a pawn to him.

When she opened her eyes, she was back at sixteen. Then, she was Mu Yunzhi, the treasured daughter of the general's household, cherished by her parents and elder brothers, and the breathtaking beauty envied by everyone in the capital.
The day before she was to marry into the Eastern Palace, her childhood friend Wen Huaijin came to see her, just as she remembered. She refused to meet him, saying it would be improper.
On the day she married into the Eastern Palace, ten miles of red wedding decorations lined the road, drums and gongs rang out, and the streets were so packed that it became the talk of the town.
On their wedding night, Crown Prince Qin Xiao stood outside the bridal chamber. He hesitated for a long time with his hand raised, then pulled it back.
As he turned to leave, the door behind him opened from the inside, and Mu Yunzhi stepped out with her red bridal veil still covering her face. "Your Highness, on our wedding night, why are you leaving instead of entering the bridal chamber?"
Qin Xiao paused. "You don't love me. I won't touch you."
Mu Yunzhi blocked his way. "Your Highness must be joking. If I didn't love you, why would I marry you?"
Qin Xiao lost himself for a moment, then asked, "Why?"
"Your Highness is handsome and dashing, graceful and charming, debonair and distinguished, and possessed of a noble bearing. Yunzhi has admired you for a long time!"

Coming soon: My Lady, Your Husband Bows to You
Word is that Lu Chuanhan, the young heir of the Suyuan Marquis household, has taken a liking to a young lady of the Liu family and keeps begging his father to propose to her.
On their wedding day, the young heir is heard wailing from inside the bridal chamber, amid the clatter of things being smashed.
The next day, the young heir walks out with his face bruised purple and blue.
-
The Liu household has a pair of twin blossoms. The elder sister, Liu Feiluan, is learned, sensible, gentle, and virtuous. The younger sister, Liu Feixu, studied under a master from childhood and roamed the martial world with him. She's willful and exceptionally skilled in martial arts.
On the day the Suyuan Marquis household sends someone to propose, Liu Feixu happens to return home. Hearing that the young heir wants to force her elder sister, who already loves someone else, into marriage, Liu Feixu volunteers to marry into the marquis household in her place.
On their wedding day, the young heir of the Suyuan Marquis household lifts the red veil and discovers that she's not the person he wanted to marry. He flies into a rage, but before he can lose his temper, Liu Feixu takes him down and gives him a beating.
The dazed young heir clutches his face and stares at Liu Feixu. "Who are you? You're not the person I wanted to marry! How dare the Liu household send an impostor? You'll pay for this!"
Liu Feixu raises an eyebrow, smiling brightly. "The Liu household has two daughters, Young Lord. You never said which one you wanted to marry."
"..."
She smiles and reaches out to pat his cheek, her eyes full of amusement. "Husband, if you don't behave from now on, your wife might just break your legs."
-
After his wedding, the notorious young scion of the Suyuan Marquis household becomes proper and keeps to his place. He stops visiting brothels with his "bad influences," and in everyday life, if his wife says east, he wouldn't dare go west.
Lu Chuanhan has no way to voice his grievances.
One day, he just can't take it anymore and runs to complain to his mother.
To his surprise, his mother takes Liu Feixu's side at every turn. "Son, your wife is gentle and considerate, and knows how to manage the household. What could she possibly have in mind? Don't make things up!"
Lu Chuanhan laughs bitterly. "Of course. What could my wife possibly have in mind? She only wants to kill me with every justification."
