Back to the Past to Kick My Boyfriend to the Curb
In her previous life, Song Jiao lived like the heroine of a tragic romance.
For her boyfriend, Lin Feng, she gave up so much: her youth, her money, and her heart.
But their relationship of more than a decade turned out to be a case of unrequited devotion.
In the end, Lin Feng chose Yan Feifei, a domineering, arrogant woman.
He wanted to get close to her cousin, Yan Yu, the tea magnate.
Reborn, Song Jiao takes back her heart, kicks the scumbag to the curb, and throws herself into writing novels.
With knowledge of online fiction trends for the next decade or so, how could she fail to make money and get her revenge?
When the time comes, she'll use her money to beat the scumbag until even his own mother can't recognize him.
Better yet, she'll get to the tea magnate first and cling to his coattails, leaving the scumbag with no one to turn to.
In this life, she'll live like the heroine of a feel-good revenge story.
The biggest headache Yan Yu has ever faced in his life
is his father's many creative ways of pressuring him to get married.
Yan Su: "I'm dying. I want to see you get married before I go."
Yan Yu places his medical report in front of his father. "The doctor says you're healthier than he is."
Yan Su: "This is your grandmother's will. She wanted to see you get married this year."
Yan Yu: "You said yourself that Grandma couldn't write."
Yan Su: "I consulted a master. Song Jiao's birth chart is lucky for you. You two are suited to marriage."
Yan Yu: "...It's not that I wouldn't consider it."
Song Jiao has only just started college. Four years for her undergraduate degree, then he can persuade her to go to grad school,
and buy himself seven years of single life.
When they break up, he can put it off for another two years by claiming to be heartbroken.
Perfect.
The only problem is, wouldn't that be a little unfair to Song Jiao?
Ding! A text from Song Jiao:
"Contract relationship. We'll fend off each other's admirers. First come, first served. Offer expires soon."
Ding! Another text from Song Jiao:
"I have a crush on someone, so I won't fall for you. Mr. Yan, feel free to sign up."
Four years later, Yan Yu, who refuses to marry anyone but Song Jiao: "Who's your crush? Let me see him."
The Substitute Moonlight Becomes the Real One
From the very first day Yuan Jinxi entered the residence, she knew she was a substitute, standing in for the person Prince Ying longed for but could never have.
But she didn't mind. Being a substitute let her escape the prefect's daughter's abuse, kept her from being sent to the Musician's Bureau, and even let her use Prince Ying's influence to rescue her falsely accused father. She was more than happy to play the part!
But... is there something wrong with Prince Ying? Why does he want to marry the daughter of a butcher and make her his princess consort?
Luckily, the real woman appeared at the last possible moment. Yuan Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief, happily packed her things, and prepared to run away.
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky high enough for birds to fly... or not.
Because no sooner had she run off than Prince Ying caught up with her. "Where does my princess consort wish to go? Why not take me along?"
There was a rumor in the capital that Prince Ying, Qi Xuan, fell in love at first sight with the second daughter of the Vice Minister of Rites. He had even prepared the betrothal gifts, but she entered a Daoist temple to pray for her parents for three years.
After failing several times to persuade her, Prince Ying rescued a woman who looked like her on his way back and brought her to his residence, where he doted on her in every way.
Everyone said Prince Ying was devoted to the woman praying for her parents in the temple. They were both moved and regretful on her behalf.
Only Qi Xuan knew that the little woman he'd brought home wasn't a substitute at all. She was the person he'd been longing for and searching for all along.
Bonus Scene 1:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! News has just arrived from outside the palace. His Highness Prince Ying has brought a woman home."
"Are you sure it's a woman, not a man?" the Emperor asked eagerly.
"A woman. Lots of people saw her. There's no mistake." The eunuch beamed.
"Good, good. Have they consummated the marriage?"
The eunuch looked up at the sky helplessly. It was broad daylight, with the sun blazing overhead.
The Emperor looked embarrassed. Perhaps he was a little too eager.
Bonus Scene 2:
"Mother, news came from outside the palace today. Brother Xuan brought a woman home."
"Are you sure it's a woman, not a man?" The Empress Dowager rose from her couch in delight.
"A woman. Lots of people saw her. There's no mistake." The Emperor nodded.
"Good, good. Have they consummated the marriage?"
The Emperor looked up at the sky helplessly. It was broad daylight, with the sun blazing overhead.
Theme: If you want to live happily, it's important to keep striving and relying on yourself
He has been slandering the heroine. He can post the lawyer's letter to the school. The heroine really has not resisted. I am holding my breath.
"You can move" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Got it
The heroine is so generous that she can get along so harmoniously with the Yan family
If it were me, I might not be able to separate Yan Feifei from others and treat her differently.
It's so annoying that it's cut off here.
"It's true that Song Jiao is still strong enough now", which is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Not strong enough
If you have Douyin, you can post it online.
Well, I don't know what kind of person the male protagonist is. Anyway, I see that I like the senior more now (even though the characterization and plot are still a bit weak). Anyway, give it a try.
QAQ swallow my name!
