[After Escaping Death, I Cremated My Fiancé]

Qian Shanyue's father arranged her engagement the day she was born.

Luo Mingchuan, young master of Bantiandian, was handsome and dashing. At a young age, he had already reached the peak of the late seventh rank. He was a perfect match for her.

But Qian Shanyue was proud and ambitious, and had no interest in him.

Later, she joined Penglai, where a junior brother arrived on the island. He had a clean-cut appearance and an extraordinary bearing.

For a moment, Qian Shanyue felt bashful.

But her master had said that her fate was bound to love, a word she must never touch.

Though Qian Shanyue avoided it and held back, she still developed tender feelings. She thought, It's just love. So what if I let myself feel it?

She was willing to risk her life for him, to cross mountains and seas for his sake.

But that night, she accidentally learned that this junior brother was Luo Mingchuan, the man to whom she was engaged, and that he had approached her only for the Nine-Colored Brocade she possessed.

Qian Shanyue awoke from her dream with a start. Looking at the man before her, she demanded, "Did you really approach me for the Nine-Colored Brocade?"

He answered, "Yes."

"Did you ever have any feelings for me?"

He answered, "Never."

She was young and naive then. Heartbroken, she left Penglai, never expecting to miss the crucial chance to return to the sect and deliver a warning.

She rushed back, only to find the sect overrun, her fellow disciples slaughtered, and the entire Eastern Mountain drenched in blood, a horrifying sea of corpses.

Later, to protect the sect's spiritual leyline, she shattered her core and lost all her cultivation. As she fell, covered in blood, she watched Luo Mingchuan hurry toward her. Raising her icy gaze, she said softly, "The Nine-Colored Brocade you want is my life. You can have it. In exchange, our engagement ends here."

[Bonus Scene]

On the day Qian Shanyue returned to Tianyin Sect and revealed her identity, the first thing she did was announce her marriage to another man.

Luo Mingchuan: What about me?

Qian Shanyue: Who the heck are you?

[Marrying Up]

At a poetry banquet, Ji Xingzhi casually made a match between himself and Lin Shuyue, despite the vast difference in their status.

Lin Shuyue came from a humble family and had lived a strictly proper life since childhood. When she married into a powerful household, she felt as if she were walking on thin ice.

After the wedding, she was cautious in everything and careful at every step, keeping her head down and living like a turtle hiding in its shell.

Only when Miss Chen arrived in the capital did she learn that Ji Xingzhi had rushed into marrying her because he had already given his heart to someone else. He had only married her to placate his family's nagging about his marriage.

Lin Shuyue felt nothing at all. In fact, she was rather happy, and took even better care of Ji Xingzhi's meals and daily needs than before.

Only sometimes, on lonely nights, would she secretly count her private savings. She thought happily, If I save a little more, I can get a divorce. Then I can find myself a handsome young man who knows how to be warm and caring.

-

Ji Xingzhi was strikingly handsome, unrivaled in the world, and the new emperor's most trusted minister. When he married a woman from a humble family, everyone was astonished.

After their marriage, he spent most of his time at the government offices. He remembered his wife as gentle, sensible, content, and never clingy. She managed the household and showed filial respect to his parents. She was, in short, a proper and virtuous wife.

One day, remembering that it was her birthday, he made an exception and put his work aside to leave the office early. But as soon as he entered the garden, he heard her laughing freely inside the room. "How could I possibly fall for that cold-faced block of wood? I like elegant, graceful young men who are as warm as jade..."

The usually decisive and strategic Young Lord Ji tossed and turned all night.

So it turned out she had never liked him...

[Novel Synopsis]

The moment Meng Yunhan transmigrated into a book, she found herself on the night her original body's parents were being laid to rest. Dressed in mourning clothes and having set up the funeral banners, she performed her first autopsy after transmigrating beneath the glaring funeral lanterns.

From then on, she joined the county yamen as a coroner, interpreting the language of corpses and solving strange cases. She became a favorite of the county authorities.

But the neighbors said she had an ill-fated destiny and brought a gloomy, ominous presence.

She said, "This is a profession for highly educated intellectuals."

He asked, "What is a highly educated intellectual?"

She answered, "Someone who can wield a knife with both hands."

He laughed. "A butcher?"

Xiao Yuxun commanded the Great Yan Empire's most elite army, the Xuanji Army. Decisive and ruthless, he was covered in the stench of blood. He should have been someone everyone feared, yet the noble young ladies of the capital blushed whenever they spoke of him.

Whether they were charming and graceful or elegant as a clear stream, he remained unmoved. Yet he took a special interest in the woman who wielded a corpse knife with effortless skill.

He asked, "Why are you so skilled with a knife?"

She answered, "Nothing special. I just have a lot of practice."

He laughed. "Did you used to sell fried dough?"
