I Heard My Nemesis Became a Pretty Fool

Heard that her nemesis, Ning Qianchen, had come down with a strange illness and become a beautiful idiot.

Fu Tinghuan hurried over, frantic with worry...

To kick him while he was down.

With (in)sincere (ill) will (and) (no) kindness, she took him in and brought him to her side, caring for (tormenting) him in every way and holding (settling) no grudge (old score).

Except...

No plan survives contact with fate. Her nemesis... had gotten his mind back.

Only then did she remember who this nemesis was: the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard...

Was it still... too late to run...?

**

For certain reasons, Ning Qianchen, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, had been ordered by imperial decree to pretend to be a fool. He never expected his nemesis, Fu Tinghuan, to take advantage of the situation and give him such a hard time.

The way she bullied him... was more than he could take...

After being ordered to recover his wits, Ning Qianchen gritted his teeth and vowed to repay her in kind.

He arranged for His Majesty to grant him and Fu Tinghuan a marriage decree. He planned to torment her thoroughly, then divorce her in disgrace.

But before he could even put pen to paper on the divorce notice, he got himself tangled up in the whole affair instead, falling for her completely...

Little scene:

Fu Tinghuan asked three times every day: "Ning Qianchen, have you finished writing the divorce notice? I'm waiting to remarry."

The teacup in Ning Qianchen's hand shattered into pieces. "Maybe in our next life."

Reader's guide:

1. Enemies to lovers, marriage before love. Face-slapping, followed by eating one's words.

2. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first and only.

3. Set in a fictional world.

Please add my next novel, The Treacherous Minister's Daughter Marries the Scheming Crown Prince, to your reading list!

To get the Crown Prince disinherited and install the son of his beloved woman as heir, Chancellor Qin Yuan impeached the Crown Prince every day.

Crown Prince Yan Jiting: "You want to mess with me? Then I'll not only hit back, I'll take your legitimate daughter!"

He then schemed to marry Qin Yuan's legitimate daughter, Qin Yaoyao, into the Eastern Palace, intending to neglect her every day and leave her a widow in all but name.

Who could have guessed that Qin Yaoyao would eat well, sleep well, and enjoy herself every day, while occasionally leaving the palace to admire handsome men and beam with delight?

At first, Yan Jiting smirked. "I don't care."

Later, Yan Jiting scoffed. "I don't care."

Later still, Yan Jiting gritted his teeth. "I. Don't. Care!"

The teacup in his hand shattered into pieces.

**

As the legitimate daughter of a great villain, Qin Yaoyao had seen through her father's scoundrel nature from an early age. She didn't want to become his pawn, so she planned to save up plenty of money, leave the Chancellor's residence, and spend this life unmarried, eating, drinking, having fun, and mercilessly picking on handsome men.

She never expected to be forced into marrying the Crown Prince, her father's sworn enemy. Still less did she expect Yan Jiting to try to torment her by leaving her a widow in all but name. Two pieces of good news at once: she laughed herself awake several times on her wedding night!

So she happily ate and drank to her heart's content every day, cheerfully read forbidden books and erotic stories every night, and occasionally left the palace to smuggle out her hoard of gold and silver, while taking in the flowers, the moon, and handsome men. Life couldn't have been more easy and pleasant.

She planned to make her escape when her scoundrel father and the Crown Prince finally clashed, so she wouldn't get caught in the bloodshed.

She just couldn't figure out why the Crown Prince, who had treated her with icy courtesy, was looking at her more and more strangely...

Little scene:

One night, Yan Jiting, eyes full of danger, was about to step into the bedroom when Qin Yaoyao flung out the three rules he had written. Rule one: Qin Yaoyao must not go near Yan Jiting. Rule two: Qin Yaoyao must not go near Yan Jiting. Rule three: Qin Yaoyao must not go near Yan Jiting. Anyone who fails to follow all three rules is a dog!

Yan Jiting: "Woof, woof!"

Reader's notes:

1. Both leads are each other's first and only. Happy ending.

2. Marriage before love, with the male lead's face-slapping and eating-his-words redemption arc.

3. Fictional setting, with a mix of dynasties.
