[Synopsis]

Li Minglang is the notorious shrew of Yunxiang City, willful and arrogant, with a sharp tongue. But she never expected her uncle's family to take everything from her, leaving her penniless, only for her to die a violent death amid the chaos of war.

Reborn, she resolves to take her fate into her own hands and takes over the bankrupt escort agency her parents left behind. Before long, she has hundreds of escorts under her command and branches across the country. Along the way, she snuffs out the first sparks of rebellion, earns millions of silver taels, and helps restore peace and prosperity.

Everyone says Li Minglang is unrestrained, lawless, and so terrifying she could stop a child from crying at night. Surely no one would ever marry her.

Li Minglang: "You're right. I'll just find a pretty boy to marry into my family."

That day, outside Yunxiang City, colorful wedding palanquins stretched as far as the eye could see, with gift-laden carriers extending for dozens of miles.

The Prince of Qinghe, Xie Yu, rode a fine steed. Sunlight fell upon his silver armor. His face was handsome as a jade crown, and a smile played at his lips.

"Boss, all of this is my dowry."

Li Minglang: "?"

This isn't what I ordered. I want my money back! Where's the pretty boy I was promised? Some prince? Never heard of him.

Xie Yu: "Boss, won't you reconsider?"

Li Minglang looked at his sword, then at his face, and took a deep breath. Her heart was still racing.

She wanted fine fur robes, swift horses, and lavish feasts. Naturally, she also wanted a young man from Chang'an always by her side.

Lian Qiaoqiao had cloudlike hair and a flowerlike face, with an alluring nature that made her the Prince of Yi's mistress.

Before a month had passed, the Prince of Yi died. At the Princess Consort's command, Lian Qiaoqiao was confined to the manor and dressed in mourning clothes, ready to be buried alive with him.

That night, with nowhere left to turn, Lian Qiaoqiao knelt before the young and handsome heir to the Prince of Yi. Her eyes glistened with tears. "...Please take pity on me, Young Lord."

The heir, Yan Lingxiao, had been banished to the borderlands. He hurried back to the capital day and night, intending to claim his father's beloved concubine for himself.

But when he reunited with Lian Qiaoqiao after a long separation, she was no longer the innocent, naive girl he remembered. She was alluring and coquettish, doing everything she could to flatter him.

Yan Lingxiao gripped Lian Qiaoqiao's slender waist, the veins on the back of his hand standing out, yet his face remained cold and proud. "Madam, please show some self-respect."

The world reviled him, but Yan Lingxiao only sneered, unmoved.

He accepted that he would spend his life entangled with Lian Qiaoqiao, even if their relationship could go no further.

He never expected that, just after the imperial physician diagnosed his little mistress as pregnant, and before Yan Lingxiao had time to rejoice, Lian Qiaoqiao would vanish without a trace...

*Content note: Both leads are virgins. They'll get back together!

*"Marrying the Powerful Minister Again [Reborn]," an aloof consort x a sweet, spoiled little princess

Yan Qiaoqiao was willful and capricious all her life, and hardly ever did anything good. If not for her father's indulgence, forcing the talented top candidate Cui Zheyu to abandon his prospects and marry a princess would alone have been enough to make the world condemn her.

Perhaps she had done so much evil that even Heaven couldn't bear it, and sent her off to an early death with a single stroke.

But she never expected that after her soul returned to the heavens, Cui Zheyu, who had always treated her with icy indifference, would rise to the highest ranks of the court and cleanse it of corruption, his hands stained with blood, all to avenge her.

Reborn, Yan Qiaoqiao decides to do one good deed: keep her distance from the radiant, upright Cui Zheyu. They can stay out of each other's way and let one another go.

But Lord Cui, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, is hopelessly in love with her. No matter how often she sends him away, he won't leave, and he keeps following her around, saying strange things.

"When will Your Highness consider marrying me?"

Yan Qiaoqiao, furious and embarrassed, retorts, "Once I rule the world, I'll make you my imperial consort!"

Cui Zheyu lowers his eyes, his gaze deep and keen. "I will gladly serve Your Highness. I will make sure the princess gets everything she desires."

Years later, Yan Qiaoqiao becomes the first imperial princess heir in history, then ascends the throne. Behind her, Cui Zheyu stands with a stern air, but his gaze upon her is ardent and full of love.

Little scene:

The Court of Judicial Review is the most coveted place in the whole imperial court. Vice Minister Cui Zheyu is exceptionally talented, deeply favored, and easygoing with his subordinates. He even leaves work right on time.

A colleague, curious, asks where he's going. Cui Zheyu's expression remains calm, and he keeps walking toward the door without slowing down. "The princess has summoned me."

Colleague: "Even when the emperor summons you, you're not this eager!"
