Bringing Good Fortune to My Ex's Disabled Brother

(Don't read, don't read. This is my first novel, written while I was still learning.)

Blurb:

Gu Ruo was born the cherished daughter of a marquis's household. Beautiful, graceful, and delicate, she never expected to be mistaken for someone else and end up abandoned in the countryside.

When she was finally welcomed back into the family, she became the marquis's third young lady in a grand homecoming. Even Zhao, the heir of Prince Gong's household, said he wanted to marry her.

She thought her life would be smooth sailing from then on, but an imperial edict shattered her dreams.

She was betrothed to Prince Yan, a violent man with a disability, to bring him good fortune.

And Zhao, who had sworn he would marry no one but her, immediately turned around and married her legitimate younger sister.

At last, she saw clearly. Family affection, love, it had all been lies meant to deceive her!

The marquis's household had brought her back so she could take her sister's place and bring good fortune to Prince Yan, becoming a stepping stone for the whole family to gain rank and honor.

Gu Ruo gave a cold laugh and swore that one day she would make them pay.

As for her ex, Zhao, tomorrow you'll be calling me sister-in-law.

She turned and climbed into the wedding sedan bound for Prince Yan's residence.

She had heard Prince Yan was disabled and insane.

No matter. She was the renowned physician Xue Cheng's closed-door disciple!

*

After their marriage, everyone thought that marrying the cruel and bloodthirsty Prince Yan meant certain death for her.

No one expected her to reappear before them in all her glory, trampling every enemy beneath her feet!

And the sharp-eyed man at her back not only stood up again,

he donned his armor once more for her and laid the empire's vast lands at her feet.

Wang Shu, a food blogger, transmigrated into a book.

She became the villainess in an old-fashioned, melodramatic tragic romance.

The original character not only stole the heroine's betrothed, but also let her treacherous father frame the heroine's family, sending them into exile after confiscating their property.

Little did she know that the male lead, Prince Yu, appeared as elegant as a gentle breeze and bright moon, but was actually ruthless inside. On their wedding night, he sent her to her death with a cup of poisoned wine.

*

So the first thing Wang Shu did after transmigrating was call off the engagement!

Her father, a powerful minister who held sway over the court, waved his sleeve grandly. "Good, break it off! There are plenty of men in the world. Pick whichever one you like!"

Her eldest brother, one of the Nine Ministers, smiled gently. "Don't worry. Big Brother will take care of you from now on."

Her second brother, a young general, flew into a rage. "Did he bully you? I'll deal with that scumbag for you."

Her third brother, a master painter, wept and wailed. "Wah, good thing you broke it off! Third Brother couldn't bear to part with Shu'er anyway..."

But the kinder her family was to her, the more uneasy she felt. She remembered that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the original heroine would team up with him to expose Chancellor Wang's countless crimes, bringing the Wang family to ruin.

Wang Shu let out a groundhog's shriek inside her head: Aah! Why is it so hard to live a lazy life?

Fortunately, at this point the new emperor was still a pitiful little boy who was bullied by everyone.

Wang Shu set herself a modest goal: before the original heroine returned, she had to reach out to him first.

The crown prince, Song Xiuzhu, was kneeling in the pouring rain as punishment. Wang Shu held a black-ink-patterned oil-paper umbrella and walked gracefully up behind the proud, aloof boy.

She tilted the umbrella, shielding him from the rain and wind.

The newly enthroned Demon Lord, Xiao Mo, was unlike the cruel, ruthless, bloodthirsty demon lords of the past. Instead, he was refined and proper, compassionate and kind.

But the crown prince of the Heavenly Realm, Song Chen, returned from his tribulation seeming like a different person. He had lost every trace of compassion and become bloodthirsty, brutal, cold, and heartless.

The immortals gossiped: Something strange is going on. Those two must be having an affair!

Later, the war between the heavens and demons began.

The immortals sighed: So all those years of gossip were for nothing. They're not a couple, they're rivals in love!

When Si Wanru, an immortal deity of the Flower Realm, descended to the mortal world to undergo a tribulation, she suffered through two lifetimes of heartbreak and tasted every bitterness before finally ascending to godhood.

After ascending, she wanted to hide away in the Flower Realm and enjoy a leisurely life. But memories of the past kept haunting her dreams, leaving her heart, liver, and spleen aching with torment.

So she secretly sneaked into the Demon Realm, hoping to drink a ladleful of water from the River of Forgetfulness and soothe her poor little heart.

She had barely reached the riverbank when a large procession came thundering toward her.

At its head, the Demon Lord Xiao Mo had blood-red eyes and cried out hoarsely, "Xiao Ru, don't drink it!"

Si Wanru: Come on, big brother, don't be so stingy!

Terrified, she quickly used her sky-leaping spell to flee to the Heavenly Realm,

only to accidentally crash into the procession accompanying the crown prince.

The crown prince of the Heavenly Realm, Song Chen, was notorious for his ruthlessness and decisive killings.

He pressed a silver sword to Si Wanru's throat.

Si Wanru let out a mournful cry inside: Heaven wants me dead.

Then she slowly raised her head.

Song Chen's face stiffened, and the silver sword fell from his hand. He jumped down from his horse and staggered toward Si Wanru, grabbing her around the waist.

His eyes reddened at the corners, and his voice caught in his throat. "Why did you abandon me and leave without a word back then? Why?"

The peerless face before her and that clear, cool voice made Si Wanru feel as though she were... back in her previous life.

She knew she truly couldn't get away this time.
