Reborn, I Won the Marquis's Undying Love

My debut novel's embarrassing past (highlighted)

The romance starts at the end of Chapter Five. It's the sweet, bickering daily life of a mischievous marquis and a proud, aloof princess. Blurb:

Reborn, Tang Jing wants only to bring her enemies down, help a wise ruler ascend the throne, and protect the peace of the Prince's manor for a lifetime.

Who could have guessed that the frivolous, good-for-nothing playboy Xue Changce would keep barging in, just to make his presence known?

"Fancy seeing you again, Miss Tang! Do me a favor and have a drink with me?"

Tang Jing sneered. "Our paths are different, so we have nothing to discuss. Young Marquis, kindly get as far away from me as possible and stop blocking my way."

She had no interest in getting tangled up with such a frivolous rake, but he kept protecting her from the shadows.

In the end, he even became the young general who turned the tide.

The man who couldn't stay cool for more than three seconds: "So what if I'm a general? Generals need their wives to dote on them too!"

Tang Jing: "Forget I said anything."

Xue Changce had no wish to get caught up in court intrigues. He only wanted to find the girl who had saved him when he was a child.

Driven by his competitive streak, he took the opportunity to tease Tang Jing, who had always disliked him.

Then one day, the truth came out.

Xue Changce: "What?! The girl I offended is actually my beloved? She's angry and won't talk to me. What do I do?"

Coming soon: The Husband I Won Ran Away

Shen Qingtang unintentionally saved a young man in white who had been poisoned. With no other way to repay her, he offered himself to her in marriage.

Though he was as frail as a sick willow, he did have a handsome, refined face. Taking in a pretty young man and raising him would only cost her some medicinal herbs, so Shen Qingtang agreed without much hesitation.

One day, her frugal and hardworking young husband said, "Thank you for accepting me, miss. Although I'm frail and sickly, fortunately I have a wealth of knowledge. I can go out and teach, earn money to support the family, cough, cough..."

Just listen to that. What a considerate, family-minded husband! Shen Qingtang was deeply moved, and watched through tears as her dear young husband left home.

And then... then he never came back??

**

An unexpected visitor arrived at the Northern Garrison Commander's Office. A young woman brought all her savings and pleaded through her tears:

"My husband is frail and can't look after himself. He certainly won't be able to withstand the torture here. I don't know what crime he's committed, but I beg you, honored sirs, to spare his life if you can."

The brocade-clad guards exchanged glances, looking troubled. "May we ask your husband's name?"

Shen Qingtang: "His surname is Wei, Young Master Wei! I heard he was carried inside."

Wei Heng had just returned from work, chatting and laughing with his colleagues. The moment he spotted the woman kneeling at the entrance, the smile on his face froze for an instant.

A seemingly gentle but secretly ruthless commander of the brocade-clad guards and a beautiful, kindhearted young female doctor

Coming soon: What of the Grand Tutor?

Liang Su was a lucky man. When he was ten, his uncle died, and he happened to come into possession of a throne.

Liang Su was an unlucky man. Just as he had finished enjoying the carefree life of walking dogs and teasing birds, he fell straight into the clutches of the stern Grand Tutor, Song Zhifei.

"Your posture is improper, and your conduct is unbecoming. Hold out your hand and take a ruler's whack!"

"You indulge in play and neglect your studies. Hold out your hand and take a ruler's whack!"

After countless smacks on the palm, Liang Su sobbed with tears in his eyes. Looking at the girl in front of him, who was only two years older, he secretly swore:

Once I take the reins of power, I'll have you demoted to the very bottom, Grand Tutor!

**

Years later, Liang Su took power and challenged Grand Tutor Song in court every day, making her lose face at every turn.

While the officials worried about Song Zhifei's career, their emperor was pinning her fiercely against a desk that night.

Amid the stacks of books, the woman's hair was slightly disheveled, but her composure remained intact. She turned away in obvious displeasure and pushed him back coolly. "Your Majesty, please behave yourself. I... I am unwilling..."

"Unwilling?" Liang Su gave an angry laugh, braced his knee, and leaned over her domineeringly as he demanded:

"When the Grand Tutor petitioned in court for me to expand the imperial harem and marry a Zhang or a Wang, did you ever ask what I wanted?"
