Historical romance [groveling after a breakup + rekindled love]

After the Nation Was Destroyed by My Ex-Husband

Fallen noblewoman x former horse slave who rises to power and turns dark

Enemy forces advanced on the imperial capital, and the royal family fled in panic, leaving behind only the stunning Crown Princess Zhu Jiyun.

On the night her country fell, Zhu Jiyun was forced to give herself to Chai Mo, the enemy nation's military governor, to save the people of the city.

"When Second Miss abandoned me and tried to have me killed, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

In the candlelight, the man reached out and gripped her chin. His sharp, icy eyes held bone-deep hatred and boundless desire.

Recognizing the face that had haunted her dreams, Zhu Jiyun burst into tears. "Mo Lang..."

"Don't call me Mo Lang!" Chai Mo flung her hand away in disgust. "You're not worthy!"

Back then, her husband, Mo Lang, had treasured her, holding her in the palm of his hand and never letting her suffer the slightest grievance.

Now, the military governor Chai Mo was like a bloodthirsty lone wolf, tormenting her until she wept, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

Back then, A Mo was a horse slave in the Zhu household. He and Second Miss Zhu Jiyun fell in love, and both were driven out of the estate.

They were poor, but he loved and cherished her. He would rather take on more hardship himself than let her suffer even a little. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't give her the comfortable life she had once enjoyed.

"I regret it. I've had enough. I really don't want to live in poverty anymore! I want to be Crown Princess, I want to be empress!"

His beloved wife, who had once sworn to love him forever, cruelly abandoned him and threw herself into the arms of the crown prince. To eliminate any future threat, she even tried to have him killed.

*

"I did it all. I was the one who wronged you! I was the one who ruined your life! If you hate me, then kill me!"

Watching Zhu Jiyun bow her head and confess, Chai Mo felt the last shred of his foolish hope vanish.

Death would be too easy for her.

You want to stay faithful to your beloved crown prince? Dream on!

*

At the time, consumed by hatred and jealousy, Chai Mo swore to make the woman who had lifted him to heaven with one hand and kicked him into hell with the other pay.

He never imagined that one day he would kneel before her, begging her to love him once more.

Fantasy romance: Revenge Heiress Gets Rich with a Traditional Chinese Medicine System

Lin Lu is the heiress to the Lin pharmaceutical company. But after her grandfather dies, her uncle frames her, strips her of her inheritance, and kicks her out of the house.

Her gentle, considerate boyfriend, who was a perfect match for her, turns around and gets engaged to her cousin.

"Cousin, I just got into the entertainment industry, and I've already landed a role in a major movie. I'm short a lackey to carry my bags. We have been family for years, so I'll at least give you a chance to earn a living."

Her dazzling cousin, Lin Shuang, looks at her as if she were a stray dog.

With nowhere else to turn, Lin Lu unexpectedly binds herself to a traditional Chinese medicine System.

To make ends meet, she starts selling health supplements.

At first

Parent A:

"Improve your memory? Who would be stupid enough to buy that? For supplements, it's more reliable to get someone you know to order from overseas. Sure, it's expensive, but it's all for my kid's college entrance exams."

Beautiful Woman B:

"This stuff can make you fair-skinned? I bet it's got hormones, lead, or mercury in it."

Young Woman C:

"I've seen doctors at all the major hospitals for my menstrual cramps and tried Chinese medicine too. Nothing worked, and I still have to rely on painkillers. You think this menstrual-regulating balm will work? You're just trying to scam me!"

Office Drone D:

"Hair growth pills? Yeah, right. I've tried a bunch of brands, and they're all a total scam!"

Then a variety show airs, featuring the rising star Fang Qing, with bright eyes, white teeth, smooth, pale skin, and a waterfall of black hair. She shines in the sunlight, stunning every guest and viewer.

When asked about her beauty secrets, Fang Qing doesn't hold back:

"I owe it all to my best friend. She's an heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners..."

That very day, orders at Lin Lu's health shop explode.

From a tiny handmade workshop to a renowned pharmaceutical company with its own laboratories and factories, Lin Lu steadily becomes the youngest rising star in the pharmaceutical industry.

Meanwhile, under her uncle's leadership, the prices of products from Lin Pharmaceuticals double year after year, while their effectiveness keeps getting worse.

After a counterfeiting scandal breaks, Lin Pharmaceuticals' stock plummets. Its celebrity spokesperson, Lin Lu's cousin, has been propped up as a top star. Already mired in controversy over her poor acting, diva behavior, lack of professionalism, and shamelessly fleecing her fans, she now faces a torrent of public backlash. People call for her to "get out of the entertainment industry," and she risks being blacklisted.

One day, Lin Lu's ex-boyfriend walks into her office and begs to get back together, wearing a tender expression.

Lin Lu sneers. "Have you ever seen me rummaging through a trash can?"

(Three best friends join forces to build a business, the ex-boyfriend gets sent to the groveling stage, and a new love interest takes his place.)
