Reborn, I Married My Third Uncle

1. Zhong Li is the stepdaughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei. With a face beautiful enough to bring a kingdom to ruin, she loses her support after her mother's death and becomes someone anyone can bully. When her stepbrother drugs her, she stumbles into someone's room. He is the young master of the household and her fiance in name, gentle and refined, as bright as the moon. He is always there to help her. But on the day he marries a princess, she dies horribly in the courtyard. Reborn, Zhong Li has already been drugged. With her cheeks flushed crimson, she resolutely enters Pei Xing's room. He is her uncle in name, a man of immense power and ruthless methods. No one knows that two years later, he will ascend the throne over countless corpses. 2. Pei Xing has never cared for women. At first, he was willing to touch her on a whim. Only after the girl left without a word did he realize that he was the only one who had fallen for her, from beginning to end. A murderous glint appeared in his eyes, and he nearly laughed with rage. When he first dragged her back, he gripped her chin and said coldly, "Run again, and I'll break your legs." Later, she merely made a trip to the Huguo Temple, and he pulled her into his arms. "Run off again, and see if I don't stay by your side every second of the day." - Here's a recommendation for my own novel: My Spoiled Wife Is Hard to Please, by Mo Zizhe. Lu Yao has skin like jade and a face like peach blossoms. With a father in a position of power, she is a true noblewoman who grew up in the lap of luxury. In her previous life, she married the eldest legitimate son of the Changping Marquis's household, a match that made countless people jealous. She thought it was a wonderful marriage, but he was secretly involved with someone else. Given another life, Lu Yao wants nothing to do with that trap. But an imperial decree unexpectedly betroths her to the Seventh Prince, Shen Fenghan: peerlessly handsome, powerful enough to command the court, and ruthless, a cold-faced King of Hell who inspires fear. Lu Yao panics. Knowing he has no interest in women, she gathers her courage and sends him a little note, hoping to call off the engagement. The Seventh Prince grips her chin and asks with a half-smile, "Are you asking to die?" A little intimidated, Lu Yao can only marry him through her tears. Theme: Once hardship has passed, light will finally come.
