The recently completed My Childhood Friend Is a Study Machine is ready to read!
Lu Tingzhi, heir to the Duke of Jingguo's household, is handsome and distinguished, yet he marries a concubine-born daughter of the Earl's household. Everyone thinks Shen Ruxu is incredibly lucky.
Even Shen Ruxu herself thinks so.
After they marry, she is cautious and strives to be perfect in front of her exceptional husband. She thinks Lu Tingzhi must love her too.
Until one day, he brings back from Tongzhou her legitimate elder half-sister, who shares the same father and looks remarkably like her.
Only then does Shen Ruxu realize she is merely a stand-in for the woman Lu Tingzhi loves but cannot have.
Reborn, she wants to live differently.
.
When Lu Tingzhi first meets Shen Ruxu, he thinks she is aloof and proud. Only later does he understand why.
In her previous life, she was sweet and docile, always putting him first. Sometimes, she would even set aside her reserve for him.
He knows Shen Ruxu loves him deeply.
Who would have thought that when he comes to propose to her again, she would say coyly from behind a screen, "Grandmother, I already have someone in my heart. I don't want to marry the heir, Lord Lu."
Lu Tingzhi pauses.
He had thought her aloof pride meant she couldn't let go, but it turns out he is the only one who can't let go.
She truly doesn't love him anymore.

(A laid-back concubine-born daughter x the ultimate overachiever)
In her previous life, Su Wan worked herself to the bone preparing for graduate school and civil service exams, only to drop dead from exhaustion. Reborn in ancient times, she discovers that people there are just as competitive: her eldest sister is famous for her talent, her second sister's medical skills are unparalleled, and her third sister's paintings have won the admiration of countless scholars.
Su Wan: Forget it. I'm going to lie flat.
Her childhood friend, the ultimate overachiever, asks her:
"Su Wan, don't you have any goals in life?"
"Sure. Find a good husband, never worry about food or clothing, and live out my days in peace."
"What about you, Lu Anxun?"
"Rise to the highest office and protect the people, so everyone can live comfortably."
Su Wan nods. "Perfect. We have the same goal, then."
Lu Anxun: ?
.
When the new top scholar parades through the capital, the noble young ladies catch one glimpse and fall for him. Yet this brilliant, exceptionally talented man is snapped up by Su Wan.
Everyone laments the loss.
Su Wan remembers the day she forced a kiss on Lu Anxun. The young man had been so furious and embarrassed he could have died, and she laments too.
If only this handsome, perfect husband had a better temper.
.
Of the four beauties of the Su family, only the concubine-born Su Wan has no ambition. She knows nothing of music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but excels at eating, drinking, and having fun. At eighteen, she has spent years waiting to be married with no one interested, leaving her father Su with a head full of gray hair from worry.
Just as he is planning to prepare a larger dowry and find her someone suitable, Su Wan quietly finds herself an impressive husband.
Su Wan: If I'm going to lie flat, I might as well find a promising investment and do it in even greater comfort.
Who could have guessed that her promising investment would rocket to success, carrying her along on a wave of good fortune?

Spring Comes Late: A Cold Beauty's Marriage Turns Into a Long Road to Winning Her Back
Jiang Lingwei comes from a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, but both her parents have died. Her uncles want to seize her inheritance and marry her off. To escape their schemes, she has no choice but to travel north and seek out her relatives.
The old Marquis Qi once arranged a marriage between the Qi and Jiang families. So when Jiang Lingwei arrives at their door with the token of their betrothal, the reluctant heir, Qi Chengxiu, who is of marriageable age, is pushed forward.
Jiang Lingwei doesn't make things difficult for him. She proposes a sham marriage, with a divorce six months later.
Qi Chengxiu stands in the pavilion in his flowing jade-colored robe, painting without even looking up. "Why should I help you?"
"Two reasons. First, we have a marriage contract, so if the Qi family goes back on its word, I can take you to court. Second, I'm helping you too."
"Oh? Miss Jiang, tell me how a mere merchant's daughter could help me."
Jiang Lingwei clenches her sleeve, her expression unchanged. "The heir's rising prominence has made people suspicious of you. Don't you need a humble marriage to keep people from watching you?"
Qi Chengxiu stops painting and smiles faintly.
.
At first, Qi Chengxiu looks down on a woman so calculating. Later, he realizes she isn't entirely like that.
She is clever and courageous, using his influence to reclaim her family's fortune. Beneath her gentle exterior, she has a daring and spirited nature rarely found in women.
As the six-month deadline approaches, Qi Chengxiu finds himself reluctant to let her go. But just as he is about to knock, he hears Jiang Lingwei speaking to someone inside:
"What's there to be reluctant about? The heir, Lord Qi, may seem noble and spotless, but living with someone like him would be so boring. Why should I hang myself from a crooked tree?"
Oh?
The "crooked tree" falls silent for a moment. He decides he won't divorce her after all.
