"Turning Shengjing's most handsome man into my husband"
"Turning my four best friends into my four sisters-in-law"
For three generations, no daughters had been born into the Dingyuan Marquis's household. In this generation, the marquis and his wife had four sons before finally welcoming their precious little girl.
By the time she came of age, the darling girl had grown into a ravishing beauty, with a graceful figure and a soft, sweet voice. Every gesture radiated a beauty that could outshine the world.
Before long, suitors were crowding the marquis's doorstep. Marrying this cherished girl, adored by the emperor and empress dowager, doted on by the palace ladies, and protected by everyone in the marquis's household, would be like rising to the heavens in a single bound!
But winning the hand of the young Junzhu, Jiang Zijiao, was no easy task.
Her eldest and second brothers were top scholars in both civil and military examinations. If a suitor wasn't a master of both, he might get through the gate, but he wouldn't make it into the reception hall.
Her third and fourth brothers were mischievous and quick-witted. Unless a suitor was clever and perceptive, he wouldn't even meet the marquis and his wife before being swept out the door.
Who could have guessed that the Junzhu Ronghua would snatch a peerlessly handsome young nobleman off the street and drag him home? She might have looked delicate, but she hauled him along without the least hesitation.
Seeing the man Zijiao had brought back, everyone in the marquis's household praised her excellent taste. In all of Shengjing, only he met the Jiang family's standards for a son-in-law.
Pei Moheng was the late emperor's long-awaited son, a precious treasure. When the current emperor ascended the throne, he treated his younger brother well and bestowed upon him the title of Prince Heng.
At twenty, Prince Heng was handsome and charming, dashing and elegant. His calm grace and every gentlemanly gesture had made him the dream lover of countless young women in Shengjing.
But after going out to admire the lanterns, he was knocked unconscious and dragged into a mansion...
He had thought the marquis's household would apologize once they learned who he was. Instead, he discovered that the people of the Dingyuan Marquis's household simply couldn't be judged by normal standards.
As the saying goes, a melon forced from the vine won't be sweet. But from the moment the Dingyuan Marquis's household set its sights on Pei Moheng, his life took a dramatic turn.
Pei Moheng: I have no plans to marry for now.
Zijiao nodded in understanding: I am still young, my lord. I can wait for you.
Pei Moheng stared speechlessly at the sky. How could this pretty, well-behaved Junzhu not understand plain words?
Pei Moheng: My marriage is for my imperial brother and the empress dowager to decide.
Zijiao cupped her face in both hands, beaming with satisfaction: Mother has already gone to the palace to see the empress dowager. Her Majesty said that you and I are a perfect match.
Pei Moheng: ...The empress dowager and my imperial brother have sold me out!
Later, the prince would gaze at the soft, sweet girl by his side and listen to her tender words, feeling more content than ever.
But when he arrived with betrothal gifts to formally ask for her hand, the young Junzhu refused to let him into her bridal chamber on their wedding night.
Dressed in her phoenix coronet and red wedding robes, she leaned leisurely against the door and gave him a distant nod. Her radiant smile set Pei Moheng's heart racing. He wanted nothing more than to pluck this delicate flower and keep her all to himself...

Next novel: "A Courtyard Full of Grace"
"The real Junzhu becomes my close friend"
"The fake "blood" brother becomes my husband"
Feng Ning was fifteen. Before her coming-of-age ceremony, she was told that she was the prince's fake daughter, and that the real Junzhu had already arrived.
And so, overnight, the pampered Junzhu Feng became Su Ning, a merchant's daughter.
After learning the truth, Su Ning was very well-behaved. She packed her things in less than a quarter of an hour and returned to the Su family with just a light carriage.
Those who had once envied and resented Su Ning all waited to see the fake Junzhu fall into disgrace as a merchant's daughter.
Instead, after the Su family took her back, Su Ning became the apple of their eye.
One day, Master Su bought Su Ning a mansion near the imperial city for twenty thousand taels of gold.
Everyone: ...Mansions near the imperial city are always in demand and hard to find. Does the Su family have ties to the imperial house?
A few days later, Su Ning's eldest brother brought her exotic goods from overseas and let his little sister play with precious antique paintings and calligraphy.
Everyone: ...Priceless antiques are playthings now? Have you considered how the ancestors resting underground would feel?
A few more days later, Su Ning's second brother spent tens of thousands of silver taels to give his little sister an unprecedented fifteenth-birthday coming-of-age ceremony.
The spectacle was so grand that it drew crowds from everywhere!
Everyone who'd been waiting to laugh at Su Ning: ...
Their faces were being slapped again and again!
Later, people went to the real Junzhu and spoke ill of Su Ning.
They said Su Ning had stolen the spotlight from her homecoming, taken over her place, and now wanted to claim the marriage arranged for the real Junzhu before she was born.
The real Junzhu's eyes brightened with every word. She turned and grabbed Su Ning: "You can have the engagement. No need to thank me! So, have you had enough of life with the Su family? Can we switch back?"
When their attempts to sow discord failed, everyone went to see Feng Yusu, the heir of the marquis's household.
To their surprise, Feng Yusu gazed at the lovely girl behind him with a warm smile and asked gently, "A Ning, are you happy with your place as heir's consort?"
Su Ning rubbed a luminous pearl the size of her fist and smiled, her eyes curving: "Heir's consort... how much is the monthly allowance?"
Feng Yusu chuckled behind his fist. "About... five hundred taels?"
Su Ning pondered. "What about princess consort?"
Feng Yusu gazed at her fondly, then stood up without hesitation. "All right, I'll go speak to Father and ask him to abdicate early. Once you're princess consort, the whole prince's household will be yours."
The prince and princess consort happened to overhear everything: ...
You little rascal!
#Everyone says I'm the prince's fake daughter and wants to see me humiliated#
#I made a triumphant return and became the prince's genuine heir's consort#
#Fake Junzhu and real heir#
Theme: Life is short. Don't make yourself suffer.
