My new novel, The Reborn White Moonlight of a Sickly Power Minister, is now up! Please add it to your collections, everyone. Pretty please, mwah~

Blurb:

Shen Zhixia is graceful and clever, with a quick mind. The illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Mingyuan, she was raised in the countryside from a young age. When she is finally brought back to the estate, she is sent in place of her legitimate elder sister to marry Lu Yuanzheng, the tyrannical Prince of Yongzhou.

Lu Yuanzheng was made a prince for his military achievements. He commands a formidable army and holds power over the realm. Though handsome and imposing, his ruthless methods make everyone afraid to approach him.

Knowing the court had ulterior motives for sending him a woman, he is wary of Shen Zhi from the start and deliberately keeps his distance.

Everyone feels sorry for Shen Zhi, but she isn't the least bit displeased. In fact, she's delighted.

Lu Yuanzheng's actions suit her perfectly. She had planned to spend her days idling in his manor, wait for the right moment, and quietly make her escape.

In her spare time, she even diligently practices needlework, hoping to find a way to support herself after leaving the manor.

Later, the Prince of Yongzhou marches on the imperial capital and seizes the Daming Palace.

Shen Zhi decides the time has come to leave. Having prepared everything in advance, she packs her bags and slips away in the chaos, planning to head south to Yangzhou and start a new life.

But she never expects that only a few days after her departure, Lu Yuanzheng will lead a large force to catch up and drag her back...

In her previous life, Shen Mi was set up by her stepmother, who used underhanded means to force her into marriage with the powerful minister Fu Yunzhou.

Fu Yunzhou is refined and distinguished. He inherited his title at a young age, rose to become Grand Commander, and commands a formidable army with power over the realm. Everyone envies Shen Mi for marrying into such a prestigious family.

But only Shen Mi knows that Fu Yunzhou is ruthlessly ambitious, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

For ten years in the capital, he manipulated the court, framed loyal officials, plotted the former emperor's assassination, and staged a coup. Stepping over mountains of bones, he climbed to the pinnacle of power and became the Regent, second to none.

During this time, he even gave Shen Mi to Prince Yong as part of a political bargain. In the end, she died amid the struggle for imperial power.

Reborn, Shen Mi avoids her stepmother's trap and decides to have nothing more to do with Fu Yunzhou. She will find a good man to marry and live a peaceful life.

Zhang Huaiqing, the future Grand Secretary, is cool and upright, with a heart for helping the world. He is a fine choice.

Song Yuan, the future wealthy merchant who visits her home, is unconventional and full of strange ideas. He is also well worth considering.

But Fu Yunzhou, who should be heading to the capital to take part in political schemes and pursue power, suddenly changes.

He finds an excuse to linger in Qinghe County and keeps contriving ways to bump into her...

*

When he learns that she wants to marry her cousin, the usually composed and restrained Fu Yunzhou suddenly loses control. In the pouring rain, his eyes bloodshot, he begs her over and over in a hoarse voice: "Shen Mi, would you please look at me?"

1. A feel-good story. The heroine is the most beautiful and has a knack for creating romantic rivalries.

2. The male lead is an expert at hiding his true nature, and in both lives, he loves only the heroine.

3. Everything the heroine initially thinks about the male lead is based on a misunderstanding, which will be cleared up later.

Theme: Stay positive even in adversity
