The Reborn Beauty's Persona Has Crumbled

Meng Xuejiao is reborn as a young girl, returning from being a great general under Prince Regent Li Chengzhuo to a noblewoman from an eminent clan.

Looking back on a life full of hardships, Meng Xuejiao sets herself a goal: help Li Chengzhuo cure his poison and secure the throne, repaying the kindness he showed her in her previous life by saving and supporting her.

Remembering their first meeting in her previous life, Meng Xuejiao realizes she will have to play the delicate flower one more time.

The emperor dislikes Prince Yu Li Chengzhuo, who resembles the late empress. To protect himself, Li Chengzhuo has to disguise his face, only occasionally letting his real looks breathe when he poses as the handsome lay Buddhist Ci Ji.

Then he meets someone who pretends to be a delicate flower but is actually a mighty warrior.

Meng Xuejiao can carry the little lay Buddhist Ci Ji with one arm, yet in front of Prince Yu Li Chengzhuo she is afraid of everything.

His Highness has an overactive imagination and comes up with all kinds of storylines for Meng Xuejiao, from a lonely, pitiful beauty to a melodramatic substitute. None of them come true, but he ends up getting a true-love storyline himself.

At first, Li Chengzhuo thinks that Meng Xuejiao is peerlessly skilled in martial arts but disguises herself at every turn, so she must be plotting something.

Later, Li Chengzhuo says, "My princess consort is peerlessly elegant and unmatched in the world. Her talent, looks, and martial arts are all first-rate. Who dares disagree?"

Next novel: Marrying the Powerful Minister When He Was Down on His Luck

Lu Qiong always thought she would marry either Niu Dazhuang, the farmer from the neighboring village, or a young shop assistant from the county who was good with accounts. They would have a few children, send them to school and teach them skills. She would care for her husband and raise her children. That would be a whole life.

Until her parents, claiming it was to repay a debt of gratitude, married her off to Xie Xiucai, who had just moved into the village.

Xie Xiucai was handsome and aloof, eloquent, and knowledgeable about all the refined arts of the world. Lu Qiong couldn't understand a word of it. In tears, she asked Xie Zijie, "I'm so stupid. You won't abandon me, will you?"

Xie Zijie glanced at her and said coolly, "The Xie family doesn't divorce a wife without cause. I married you, so I'll keep you for the rest of my life."

*

For the first fifteen years of his life, Xie Zijie was a dashing young man from a distinguished family, arrogant and carefree.

At sixteen, his family suffered a sudden disaster, and he was reduced to marrying a poor girl to escape danger. His loyal servant advised him to endure it for now. Once the Xie family's wrongful accusation was cleared, he could divorce her.

Xie Zijie couldn't bring himself to do such a thing. He thought that he didn't expect the poor girl to understand him, but as long as she behaved herself, he would respect her for the rest of their lives. They could treat each other with courtesy, and that would be enough.

Ten years later, the elegant and wealthy Chancellor Xie, deeply favored by the emperor, was kneeling outside the gate of his own Wild Apple Courtyard. The passing steward hesitated, then advised him:

"My lord, let this old servant speak from the heart. If you don't stand up for yourself soon, everyone under heaven will know you're afraid of your wife."

"Stand up for myself?" Chancellor Xie snapped. "So what if I'm afraid of my wife? Have you ever read a book? Which famous minister wasn't afraid of his wife?"

Chancellor Xie knocked on the door in aggrieved tones. "Qiong-niang, I was wrong. Treating each other with courtesy isn't enough. Please let me in."
