Coming Soon: The New Widow Marries a Powerful Minister. Please add it to your reading list!

Blurb: In her previous life, Wen Xiu was used as a stand-in for the princess by the chancellor, Zhong Yin. Once he had squeezed all the value out of her, he abandoned her, leaving her to meet a miserable end.

In his previous life, the young Marquis Xie Liufeng was framed by Xing Lianyue, the Minister of Revenue's daughter, and his entire family was executed.

Reborn, the two exchanged a look and knew they could join forces to take revenge.

After marrying for mutual advantage, Wen Xiu proposed a deal to Xie Liufeng: "How about this? You deal with Zhong Yin for me, and I'll take care of Xing Lianyue for you?"

Xie Liufeng: "Agreed."

Later, after they had both avenged themselves,

Wen Xiu thought: Xie Liufeng can even handle someone as cunning and calculating as Zhong Yin. He's terrifying. I can't let this man live.

Xie Liufeng thought: Wen Xiu even outplayed a vicious woman like Xing Lianyue. Looks like it's time to get rid of her.

Wen Xiu, carrying poison, and Fan Liufeng, carrying a knife, crossed paths on their way to kill each other. They looked at what the other was holding, then wisely exchanged a smile.

Xie Liufeng: "My dear, are you thirsty? I'll peel you an apple."

Wen Xiu: "I heard your room has mice and bugs. I came to get rid of them for you."

Coming Soon: The New Widow Marries a Powerful Minister. Blurb:

Yin Han, Commander-in-Chief of the Palace Guard, is a brilliant young talent, renowned throughout the Three Rivers and celebrated across the land. In the eyes of every high-ranking official in the capital, he is the perfect son-in-law.

Xue Zhaoxiang, Vice Minister of Works, hosts a banquet hoping to arrange a marriage with him. The Xue family has three unmarried daughters, each beautiful and talented, but Yin Han singles out the fourth young lady, Xue Heyi, who is off to one side serving tea.

Miss Four is indeed beautiful, but she has been married before. Her husband died on their wedding night, and all sorts of ugly rumors about her abound.

Xue Zhaoxiang gently reminds him, "Perhaps you should think it over, sir?"

"No need. I choose her."

On their wedding night, Yin Han shows no patience with his new bride. "Did you bring what I asked for?"

Xue Heyi takes out the item he wants and lays down three rules:

1. We each get what we want and stay out of each other's way.

2. We will not share a bed or have children.

3. We will divorce after three years.

"Commander-in-Chief, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

Yin Han gives a disdainful snort. "If I go back on my word, I'll be a grandson."

Later, the usually arrogant Commander-in-Chief humbly lowers himself before Xue Heyi, trying carefully to win her favor. "My lady, would you mind having one more grandson?"
