Marrying a Bandit (Reborn)

The heir of the Prince of Zhennan led troops to suppress bandits. Due to a moment's carelessness, both his cousin and his fiancée were captured by bandits.

In the face of the enemy, the bandits raised their knives and laughed arrogantly. "Only one of your cousin and your fiancée gets to live!"

His cousin gazed at him through tear-filled eyes, her voice full of sorrow. "Cousin!"

In full view of everyone, her graceful, noble, and high-minded fiancé calmly said, "Save my cousin."

As the fiancée he abandoned, no one knew that A Yao had once had a dream. In it, although she was abandoned, she stayed in the bandits' den for several months before they secretly let her go.

When she returned home, there was no remorse or comfort waiting for her, only a cup of poisoned wine.

They said their family could not keep a woman whose reputation had been ruined.

This time, A Yao chooses another path. Under the cover of a dark, windy night, the bandit chief leaves her at the city gate and says, "Take care of yourself." He turns to leave.

She reaches out and grabs the hem of his robe. "I fell in love with you at first sight, Chief. I want to be your bandit wife."

The bandit chief wears a mask, so she can't see his face. He teases her, "My place is a poor, remote village where you'll go hungry. You'll often have to go back to your family to beg for help. Are you really willing?"

A Yao: "Will you treat me well?"

Bandit chief: "A bandit wife naturally gets the best treatment."

A Yao nods. "I'll go with you."

Eloping with an Evil Male Cultivator

Well-bred young lady x evil male cultivator

Noble-born princess Cui Miaowei has a mother who favors her stepsister and a fiancé who loves someone else. She is bullied, too... She knows she's become a bit of a pushover. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given everything she had to seek help from an evil cultivator with a fearsome reputation.

But this isn't the kind of help she wanted

"I can make everyone like you, but you have to listen to me."

"You can blame everything on me. I'll say I forced you."

The person who bullied her kneels before her. The evil cultivator's voice sounds beside her ear: "Now, slap her."

The kneeling young woman is completely unaware of what's happening, staring up at Cui Miaowei provocatively.

People stream past outside. Cui Miaowei's forehead is slick with sweat, but she can't bring herself to move.

The evil cultivator is arrogant and cruel. "If you don't slap her, I'll make trouble for you."

Under the young woman's disbelieving gaze, Cui Miaowei raises her hand

A crisp slap rings out. The young woman stares blankly and covers her cheek, as if she never imagined that the once-cowardly and pathetic Princess Fukang would ever fight back.

She starts crying, and people soon come running at the sound.

Cui Miaowei's heart pounds like a drum. She doesn't know what to do with her numb hand.

Without thinking, she looks toward the evil cultivator.

He doesn't look terrifying like the rumors say. Instead, he's a tall, young man, standing openly in the crowd. When he smiles, he's more handsome and dignified than anyone Cui Miaowei has ever seen.

At that moment, he smiles and asks her, "Feel good?"

·

Cui Miaowei has been sickly for more than a decade. At eighteen, she comes to have a big secret.

When the sun rises, she's still the unpopular, repressed, and submissive Princess Fukang.

Her mother favors her elder sister, and her fiancé has someone he secretly admires.

She plays the zither and composes poetry in the garden, embroiders and writes.

She watches the sun rise and set, its light falling on her lonely shadow.

But at the hour when demons roam, her soul leaves her body. She throws everything aside and joins that man in secret, wearing fine clothes as they exorcise demons, uphold justice, investigate cases, and break curses... entering a fantastical world entirely unlike her own.
