Qin Shihuai, the successor to a martial arts school in the twenty-first century, transmigrates to ancient times by a twist of fate. She becomes a young farm girl in the countryside, and before she even comes of age, her mother sells her to Pu Yao, a young scholar from the neighboring village.
Fortunately, the young scholar treats her well. To repay him, Qin Shihuai secretly vows to stay with him until he passes the imperial examinations, then go their separate ways.
Less than seven days after Qin Shihuai arrives at her husband's home, her future parents-in-law both pass away, and she is forced to bear the title of ill-omened calamity.
The villagers fear Qin Shihuai will bring disaster, and pelt her with rotten eggs and spoiled vegetables every day. Fortunately, the young scholar doesn't abandon her and treats her so well that everyone envies her.
Many young women even declare that the young scholar is the model for their future husbands.
To earn enough travel money for the young scholar to go to the capital and sit the exams, Qin Shihuai makes up her mind to pawn the deed to his ancestral home. With the money, she opens a pastry shop.
The shop is meant to help support the family and save money for the young scholar's trip to the capital. But business flourishes beyond all expectations. She not only buys back the ancestral home, but even the villagers can't wait for the couple to move back.
Looking at the young scholar's frail figure, Qin Shihuai shakes her head. "Looking so weak, how will any girl ever like you?"
From then on, the young scholar is treated to meat and rich dishes every day. Pu Yao doesn't understand at first, but eventually learns that Qin Shihuai doesn't like frail men.
Not wanting his little wife to fall for someone else, the young scholar finds books on martial arts and secretly trains whenever Qin Shihuai isn't home, claiming he's doing it to "improve his health."
When Qin Shihuai discovers that the young scholar actually wants to become a military general, she is stunned. Somehow, she has raised him all wrong.
My new novel, The Substitute Princess Turns Her Life Around, is now underway. Please add it to your favorites!
Reborn, Pei Yaor doesn't want to be her sister's substitute bride again, nor does she want to enter that ornate palace and be trapped there day after day. She decides to rewrite her life. Her fate is hers to decide, not Heaven's.
When she learns that she is the one betrothed to the prince, Pei Yaor is thrown into turmoil. Why isn't the story following the same course as in her previous life?
And why does this vicious prince seem like a completely different person?
As Pei Yaor flees from her marriage, assassins attack her on the road. To her dismay, the hero who saves her is the prince.
Prince: The moon is beautiful tonight, but not as beautiful as you.
Pei Yaor feels nothing at all and even rolls her eyes twice.
Prince: You saved my life, so repay me by giving yourself to me!
Pei Yaor says coolly, "You arranged those assassins, didn't you? Don't bother explaining. I saw your guards' insignia."
Prince: You don't even know how to care for people. You've broken my heart. It hurts so much. I need a hug to feel better.
Pei Yaor looks at the scallion pancake in her hand and instantly loses her appetite. He's just as greasy as the man beside her.
Pei Yaor firmly refuses. She doesn't want to relive the tragedy of her previous life.
Prince: If you don't want to be Crown Princess, then I won't become Crown Prince. Let whoever wants it take the position. I only want to be the one in your heart.
Pei Yaor is baffled. Where did the vicious prince go? Why does it feel like the prince has been replaced with a greasy flirt?
The crowd: He's only greasy with you. He's still vicious with the rest of us.
Theme: Study hard for the imperial examinations, and your future will be bright.
