Mu Wanwan was born with extraordinary beauty, delicate as jade and soft as a flower, and was hailed as the most beautiful woman in Dongdu. But she lost her mother at a young age, and everyone in the household felt free to bully her. For generations, prominent families and newly risen nobles alike had wanted to bring her into their homes, where they could keep her as a concubine and enjoy her beauty all to themselves.

She pretended to be sick and kept a low profile to survive until her wedding, only for her stepsister's name to appear on the marriage contract in her place.

And she was forced to marry her former fiancé's uncle: Zhai Xingsuo, the Northern Tan Lord, a man who flouted the law and took pleasure in killing.

He was cruel and sinister, estranged from his father, and regarded as a disgrace to his family and a menace to the country. On the day he sent the betrothal gifts, he had just executed a veteran court official who had served two dynasties. Blood flowed all the way to the entrance of Shoushui Lane.

Everyone said the Northern Tan Lord would get what was coming to him. It was a shame that such a peerless beauty would meet her end at his hands at such a young age.

Some young noblemen were also waiting to take advantage of the situation, hoping that once the Northern Tan Lord grew tired of her, they could win the beauty for themselves.

Years passed. Not only did they never get the chance to gloat, they watched Wanwan secure her position as the Northern Tan Lady, earn the emperor's praise, and rise to become the most honored woman in Dongdu.

That proud, violent, and ruthless Northern Tan Lord willingly stood by her side, forsaking every honor he had ever possessed. He moved mountains and filled seas for her, and never regretted it, even to his dying day.

To survive under the roof of a husband who loved to kill, Mu Wanwan resorted to her usual trick on their wedding night. Holding a bowl of bitter medicine, she spoke in a weak, fading voice: "Wanwan is frail and ill-fated. I ask to spend the rest of my life at the manor outside the city, and I won't stand in the way of you marrying again."

Zhai Xingsuo found her nothing but a nuisance. Within days, he had forgotten there was such a person in his household.

When he later disguised himself and met her again in a mask, his little wife was not only hale and hearty, but lively and energetic. She even invited him to elope with her.

He had thought he was marrying a nuisance he could simply tidy away. He never expected her to become the little menace who would turn his whole life upside down.

Zhai Xingsuo was once broken to pieces, his flesh and bones torn apart. Reborn in a bath of blood, he shut off his heart and feelings, and stained his hands with blood. Former friends avoided him like the plague, and even his own family dared not speak his name.

Only when he fished a little girl out of a lake did things begin to change. At first, he thought her timid and weak. In the end, she was the only one who fought her way against the crowd to reach him, using her skirt to wipe the blood from his hands.

---He came through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, then carefully treasured her and kept her safe.

A sickly beauty who is no pushover X a powerful official who's ruthless on the surface but hopelessly pure-hearted underneath

The male lead takes the upper hand early on, but later the female lead has him completely under her thumb.

Blurb:

Song Yinfeng, a work-weary slacker, wakes up transmigrated as the Crown Princess. Before she can enjoy the Crown Princess's lavish, decadent lifestyle, she's branded a spy.

The original owner had cheated on the Crown Prince, and with his political rival, no less. She had leaked the Crown Prince's whereabouts and sabotaged the defenses of his residence...

But after years in the workplace, Song Yinfeng isn't fazed at all.

When her identity as a spy is exposed, she shouts in front of everyone, "Want the throne? Then make sure I stay alive!"

The Crown Prince, Qu Jin: "What if I insist on killing you?"

As it turns out, Song Yinfeng not only talks big, she's got the skills to back it up.

An expert at slacking off, she puts a few things in motion and gets the women of the Eastern Palace to help her complete her System missions. Not only does she clear her name as a spy, she also gets the scheming, aloof Crown Prince wrapped around her little finger.

She glances at another man.

The Crown Prince: "Stop looking. Is he as handsome as me?"

She wants to find one of the women in the harem to help her complete a System mission.

The Crown Prince: "Here's my personal seal. You can assign anyone in the Eastern Palace as you see fit."

She doesn't want to be empress.

The Crown Prince: "Then I won't be emperor."

She: "You can't do that! I still need to finish my mission."

Qu Jin, hailed by the world as a god descended to earth, never imagined he would one day come around to loving her.

At first, he thought little of Song Yinfeng. "She's just a spy. Sooner or later, I'll expose her."

Later, he rode hard through the night and went three days without sleep, all to catch up with her after she refused the title. "A-Yin, if you don't want to be empress, I'll roam the world with you."

Next novel: His Uncle. Blurb:

Mu Wanwan was born with extraordinary beauty, delicate as jade and soft as a flower. But she ended up with a stepmother who was kind-faced and cruel-hearted, coveting her dowry and plotting her death. She was driven to pretend to be sick every day and hide her talents, keeping a low profile in the hope of marrying as soon as possible.

But as her wedding date approached, her stepsister took her place as the bride.

At the height of her despair, Mu Wanwan suddenly realized: a husband was just a husband. If her stepmother wouldn't find her one, couldn't she find one herself?

So the frail, sickly little flower personally visited every matchmaker in Dongdu, sizing up all the eligible men in the city. After five rounds of screening and three rounds of eliminations, she finally settled on one.

Next came the usual clichéd routine: a secret meeting by the lake, a misstep into the water, a hero rescuing a beauty, and a forced marriage.

But could someone explain why the one who jumped in to save her was her former fiancé's second uncle? The Northern Tan Lord, a close confidant of the emperor who flouted the law and took pleasure in killing.

She had just escaped the wolf's den and fallen into a tiger's lair. Mu Wanwan's plan changed from "find a husband" to "wait for a divorce."

When her long-held wish finally came true, she ran off with the divorce papers to find the man she loved.

But when she removed his mask, she saw a face exactly like the Northern Tan Lord's.

A little post-marriage scene:

To survive under the roof of a husband who loved to kill, Mu Wanwan resorted to her usual trick. Holding a bowl of bitter medicine, she said timidly, "Wanwan is frail and ill-fated. I ask to spend the rest of my life at the manor outside the city, and I won't stand in the way of you marrying again."

The man took out the prescription she'd used to fake her illness and poured out her medicine. "Rather than meekly putting up with it, why not dismember those who wronged you?"

Mu Wanwan: "???"

For the first sixteen years of her life, Wanwan knew only how to give way at every turn and endure humiliation. It wasn't until she met Zhai Xingsuo that she realized if someone hurt her, she could meet them with a three-foot blade.

---He came through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, then carefully treasured her and kept her safe.
