[The story of an old man who is reborn and dotes on the female lead.]
Blurb:
Lin Huaihe, Fourth Master of the Lin family, is one of the foremost merchants in Taikang City.
On top of that, he's handsome, refined, and elegant, so plenty of young women in the city want to marry him.
Unfortunately, he's already past thirty and has always been single.
No one knows that, for all these years, Fourth Master Lin has been reliving the same dream.
In the dream, he falls in love with a woman, cherishes and protects her, and gives her his whole heart and everything he has.
But all she feels for him is a desire to use him.
She uses his money and influence, his connections, his feelings, and his family.
All to take revenge on the man who killed her entire family.
After she avenges them, she dies right before his eyes.
Everything in the dream feels as though it really happened. The heart-rending pain remains vivid in his memory.
He wants to find her, but he has never been able to make out her face.
Until one day, his sworn elder brother, whom he hasn't seen in years, arrives in Taikang City with his family.
When Fourth Master Lin sees the daughter his sworn brother cherishes like his own heart, his own heart finally comes alive again.
They are too far apart in age and status, so Fourth Master Lin suppresses his feelings. He only wants to protect their family as best he can and prevent the events of his dream from coming to pass.
But one day, she appears in the darkness of night and knocks on his door.
"Uncle."
Her shy, timid voice completely unsettles the heartstrings he's kept under control for so long.
Fourth Master Lin knows he can never let go of her hand again.
Jiang Wangyue has always thought of Lin Huaihe, who is thirteen years older than her, as her uncle.
Later,
She decides marrying him wouldn't be so bad.
After all, there are plenty of good things about an older man: he knows how to cherish her, and the title "young madam" suits her perfectly.

Half-trained female assassin VS clever, frail regent
[Blurb]
Xiaoyu is an assassin.
She's been in the business for over two years, and her track record is hard to describe.
Well, she hasn't completed a single job.
If she doesn't land a contract soon, she'll be kicked out.
With no other choice, Xiaoyu finally manages to snatch her first assignment after sweet-talking and tricking her way into it: assassinate the most powerful person in the capital.
The regent, Zhou Xunran.
She's heard the regent is sickly, panting after three steps and stopping to rest after five. Clutching her Thirty-Six Strategies for Assassination, Xiaoyu declares with delight: "A puny regent? I've got this!"
After a serious illness, Zhou Xunran gains a new ability.
Whenever he makes eye contact with someone, he can hear their thoughts.
It helps him hold onto his position as regent.
It also helps him evade every assassination attempt.
One day, a foolish female assassin arrives at his residence. Every day, she carries a little notebook and mutters:
[First attempt, Your Highness, I'm going to assassinate you. Take this sword thrust!]
[Second attempt, Your Highness, I'm going to kill you with a borrowed knife. I've put poison in your soup!]
[Thirty-sixth attempt, Your Highness, tonight I'll use the beauty trap. I'll be waiting for you in bed!]
Zhou Xunran waits in his room all night.
At dawn, dark circles under his eyes, he finds a certain someone fast asleep and asks, "Where's your beauty trap? What happened to that cool little belly wrap you promised me?"
Xiaoyu, eyes trembling in shock: Damn it, how can he hear my thoughts?
"Bonus scene"
Xiaoyu accidentally learns that the most powerful person in the capital, at least in name, isn't the regent, but the current emperor, who lives in the imperial palace.
She screams and turns to pack her bags, ready to move elsewhere.
Before she can take a step, someone grabs her.
"You're pregnant. Who are you planning to assassinate?"
"The most powerful person in the capital."
"Isn't that you?"
"What does that have to do with me?"
"If it's not you, then it must be me~ Come on, Xiaoyu, kill me with your love. I won't resist!"
Xiaoyu: "Ugh!"

Xiao Tao Just Wants to Be a Palace Maid
My Noble Consort Is Quick-Witted and Eloquent
After buying it and reviewing it, I was fascinated by this article. I dared to fall in love with two scumbags and have an extramarital wife or spoil my concubine and kill my wife. They all ended up well (at least during the time in the article), and they were able to say that they regretted it. On the contrary, having an extra wife and children is a bad luck. The author calls this a scumbag? To be honest, in the context of Guwen, as long as the female supporting role is not too vicious, I just want to see the scumbag disappear into ashes. The author probably only thinks that the concubine is a mistress, so she will die if she dies. He does not understand that in that era, many people were forced to be concubines and concubines just for food. Without men's selfish desires, there would be no tragedy for the male and female protagonists.
This maid is a little too self-righteous. I don't particularly like her, even though she has nothing to do with her.
Wouldn't it be great if such a bitchy father died?
After watching the movie, I felt that the male protagonist was not wise enough, not like a veteran in the business world.
This dad turns out to be a soft-boiled man, and he thought he was a gentleman, but you are not worthy of it.
The more angry you become, the more bad things happen. It's really
You can stop having this scumbag dad.
Why don't you tell her? Wouldn't it be better to tell her and then the two of you fight against the bad guys together?
I felt a little angry for no reason...
No, this family is too disgusting
