In her previous life, Ruan Shan married the wrong man and ended up locked in prison, strangled to death by her husband.

Reborn, Ruan Shan wants nothing but revenge for her parents and to prevent the tragedy of her past life from happening again.

·

Court officials one after another impeach General Ruan, claiming that his daughter, Ruan Shan, a noblewoman, spends every day in the kitchen cooking and takes over the servants' chores, bringing shame upon the entire court. They ask the emperor to punish her.

The frustrated emperor returns to the inner palace and tells his beloved consorts about it, only to hear:

Beloved Consort No. 1: “The Ruan girl is thoughtful and sensible. She's a good girl.”

Beloved Consort No. 2: “Jiaojiao's pastries are delicious!”

Beloved Consort No. N: “...”

Even the empress dowager barges in, condemning the officials in no uncertain terms: “Those scoundrels are talking nonsense!”

Emperor: When did they all get bought off?

It isn't until he tries Ruan Shan's pastries that the emperor finally understands: she had won them over through their stomachs.

.

Ruan Shan knows she is on her own and may not be able to get her revenge by herself. She needs an ally.

So she sets her sights on the illegitimate son of the marquis, who is currently underfed, poorly clothed, and disliked by everyone.

She knows that this inconsequential illegitimate son will one day become the all-powerful regent, so powerful that even the emperor will have to watch his every move. And so...

When the illegitimate son eats, she hands him his chopsticks.

When he drinks, she hands him a bowl.

When he takes a wife, she...

Huh?

The illegitimate son, now a regent with power over the entire court, pins her against the wall. His eyes are both clear-headed and crazed.

In a hoarse voice, he says, “Jiaojiao, where do you think you're running off to?”

Ruan Shan: At first, all she really wanted was an alliance. She had no intention of getting involved with that little devil. But then...

Just mention divorce and her back starts aching.

Sweet, delicate beauty x devilish scoundrel

One-on-one romance

Please add my upcoming story, After Being Reborn, the Stand-In Marries a Powerful Man by Contract, to your favorites! Blurb below.

In his previous life, Yu Chi fell for a man named Xie Chen. After pursuing him for a long time, he finally got Xie Chen to agree to give their relationship a try.

Xie Chen was gentle and wealthy, and treated him well once they were together. Yu Chi always believed that Xie Chen loved him.

Until one day, he saw Xie Chen bring home a young man who looked just like him.

Only then did Yu Chi realize what a ridiculous stand-in he was. Xie Chen had agreed to date him only because he resembled Xie Chen's beloved first love.

.

Yu Chi was once a top-tier star who fell from grace, cursed by millions and blacklisted by the entertainment industry.

Then he died in an accident, shocking the entire industry.

Yu Chi never expected to be reborn. Once he came back to life, he finally saw the light.

To hell with those bastards! I'm not going to live such a miserable life anymore!

I'm going to turn my life around!

A new dark horse star suddenly appears in the entertainment industry, disappearing into every role and sweeping up countless awards.

“Ahhh, honey, look at me! I want to marry you!”

“Help, I can't believe this flop is so talented. Sorry, my longtime favorite, I'm switching sides!!!”

.

Yu Chi's family tells him he's about to marry Ning Xiao, a powerful figure in the capital's elite circles, as part of an alliance between their families.

On the first day of their marriage...

Ning Xiao: “Do your duty. Don't interfere in my affairs, and stay away from me.”

Yu Chi: “Yes, yes, yes. Go ahead and get to work, boss. I'll be out of your way.”

Later, after countless times of getting nowhere, Yu Chi decides to end their loveless marriage and sets the divorce papers in front of Ning Xiao.

The man's eyes are dark and unreadable. He rubs his fingers together and rejects him three times in a row.

Not reading. Not signing. Take them away.

Yu Chi is furious. He's about to force Ning Xiao to sign when Ning Xiao gently takes his wrist. His grip is light, but burns like fire.

The man remains composed, his voice gentle. “Sorry, I've suddenly forgotten how to write my own name.”

Yu Chi: “???”
