My next book is titled "I Lost My Memory on the Eve of Our Divorce." Scroll down or check my author page for the blurb.
Blurb for this story: In the eyes of outsiders, Gantang, born into a merchant family, must have done something wonderful in a past life to marry Gu Xuechen, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Dingyuan. He was still young, yet already serving as a Vice Minister of Revenue.
Only Gantang knew that all that splendor was an illusion.
Because she came from a merchant family, her mother-in-law looked down on her, and her sisters-in-law, who came from prestigious families, mocked her openly and behind her back.
That might have been bearable, except that her husband, admired by outsiders as a man of noble character, was also proud, aloof, and miserly. Even in bed, he treated it like a routine chore, with no passion whatsoever.
Gantang endured it for three years, until she saw Gu Xuechen meeting secretly with the woman he had once cherished. At last, she could take no more. Divorce! They absolutely had to divorce!
Who needs the life of a marquis's grand lady? Running a business is far more liberating!
But on the very night they signed the divorce papers, she somehow switched bodies with her ex-husband.
Gantang, who had already paid the deposit on a shop: !!!
*
In Gu Xuechen's eyes, his wife was vulgar and wasteful. One trip to the market could cost him a year's salary. Apart from her beauty, she had nothing going for her.
But since he had married her, he had to take responsibility for her to the end.
They had been married for three years. His mother treated her kindly, and his sisters-in-law were as close to her as sisters. Yet for some inexplicable reason, she wanted a divorce.
He tried to talk her out of it, but to no avail, so he had to agree.
But on the very night they signed the divorce papers, he somehow switched bodies with his ex-wife.
Even more absurdly, after one routine encounter last month, his long-childless ex-wife was now pregnant.
Gu Xuechen, facing a career crisis: ...
With no other choice, the two agreed to work together for the time being.
Gantang: "Don't worry. As soon as we switch back, I'll leave right away!"
Gu Xuechen, about to speak: "Ugh..."
Gantang: Wow!
Bonus scene:
Three months after her ex-husband gave birth, the two finally switched back. Gantang planned to go south with her childhood friend to start a business.
On the day she was leaving, her usually aloof ex-husband stood blocking the doorway, holding their child. His eyes were red as he said, "For the child's sake, could you please stay?"
One-on-one romance, happy ending.
Also titled: "The Daily Life of a Divorced Couple Swapping Bodies in Ancient Times" / "My Ex-Husband Got Pregnant After Our Divorce"
Coming soon: "I Lost My Memory on the Eve of Our Divorce"
In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Shuyan, daughter of a princess, and Pei Huaijin, the Grand Secretary, were a perfect match made in heaven.
Only Shen Shuyan knew that Pei Huaijin loved someone else, and had married her only because he had no choice.
After her family fell on hard times, she suppressed her true nature and did her best to fulfill her duties as a wife.
Pei Huaijin, meanwhile, would disappear for half a month at a time, and even scheduled their marital relations in advance.
In the end, because they had no children, her mother-in-law decided Pei Huaijin should take a concubine.
Shen Shuyan thought Pei Huaijin had at least a little genuine affection for her. Who could have guessed he would agree without a second thought?
Shen Shuyan, already miserable enough: Divorce! We absolutely have to divorce!
Whoever wants that bastard can have him!
But on the eve of their divorce, she woke up to find the Grand Secretary lying beside her.
Shen Shuyan: !!!
*
In Pei Huaijin's eyes, his wife was far too gentle and not the type he was attracted to. But since he had married her, he had to take responsibility for her to the end.
He never expected that one day she would be the one to ask for a divorce. He tried to talk her out of it, but to no avail, so he had to agree.
But on the eve of their divorce, she woke up and insisted she was only fourteen years old. That would have been bad enough, but before they had even signed the divorce papers, she went behind his back to meet another man.
In a sunlit garden, his usually stiff and proper wife tugged at the man's sleeve and pouted. "Seventh Brother, why haven't you come to my house to ask for my hand yet?"
At that moment, Pei Huaijin, twenty-eight years old, tasted jealousy for the first time.
Bonus scene:
After dressing up carefully, Shen Shuyan went to see the man she loved.
They had barely exchanged a few words when he glanced behind her and cautiously called, "Ninth Uncle."
Shen Shuyan turned around. A handsome man in a purple robe, adorned with fine jade, was staring at her with a dark gaze.
It was none other than Pei Huaijin, the Grand Secretary famous for his cold-heartedness.
She remembered waking up in his bed that morning. In her panic, she had followed her beloved's lead and called him "Ninth Uncle."
"Ninth Uncle" went rigid, looking as though he might devour her.
Shen Shuyan: ...
Eep, he's so scary!
#What do I do when the person I hate most insists I'm his wife?!#
#The man I love keeps telling me to get a divorce every day!#
The male lead is twelve years older than the female lead.
Theme: Break free from feudal traditions and social constraints, and pursue your true self
Recommended completed article: "The Widow Taoyao's Prince's Son-in-law", see the column
Copywriting: Prince Xie Heng was assassinated during his southern tour, but was saved by a beautiful and silly little widow.
She turned around and was threatened by her family to stay as a son-in-law to carry on the family line.
Xie Heng, who had limited mobility, had to compromise and agreed.
On the night of the wedding, the little widow blushed and promised: "Husband, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future!"
Xie Heng, who felt deeply ashamed and humiliated, turned his back and said: Diaomin!
Later, Xie Heng left after recovering from his injury.
The little widow stood in front of the newly built new house and her eyes were red: "How about you stay and I can earn more money to support you?"
Xie Heng left without looking back.
After returning to the palace, Xie Heng always dreamed of those hazy tearful eyes and the words "I want to raise him" when he dreamed back at midnight.
He looked at the huge East Palace and thought that it would not be impossible to have one more little widow.
But when he went back, the little widow was gone. There was a new grave behind the new house, and a lonely peach blossom was planted on the grave.
The villagers of Taoyuan Village found that the Taoyao family's long-lost fairy son-in-law was back, but they went crazy.
He vomited blood and said viciously to Taoyao's tomb: "Have a good death, I won't miss you anymore!"
The daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Xu's family who has been missing for many years has been found. In order to make up for the love of his daughter, Prime Minister Xu specially held a huge blind date party.
During the dinner, Xie Heng looked at the flirtatious Tanhua Lang, who was said to have just died. Miss Xu, a widow, crushed her wine glass with a gloomy look on her face.
In the back garden, after Miss Xu exchanged tokens with Tanhua Lang, she shyly promised: "When we get married, I will definitely let my second brother live a good life!"
Tanhua Lang had just left, but Miss Xu was dragged into the rockery by her hind legs. Before she could call for help, she was met with a pair of cold eyes.
Her husband-in-law who "died young" gritted his teeth: "How many times did you send this to me?"
Miss Xu Taoyao:! ! !
... The heroine finally returned to the backyard where she had been trapped for the sake of her children, and never left again
I was speechless when I returned to the backyard. According to the male and female protagonist's character, even if she wants to go out to do something in the future, the male protagonist will not stop her. She just married him, and she wasn't stuck in the backyard for the rest of her life. She didn't know what she was thinking.
The heroine yearns for the vast world, spending half the time outside and the other half at home. This is her most comfortable state. After the male protagonist knows the female protagonist's inner desire for freedom, he will use selfish tricks to keep the female protagonist, but he has no real intention to stop the female protagonist and trap the female protagonist in the backyard. The female protagonist has always liked the male protagonist, and she will still miss him in her heart even if he leaves. What's more, there is a baby between them that they have been waiting for for a long time, and the pull between them is just a little fun.
The heroine never left in the end, but it does not mean that she will always be relegated to the backyard. After all, there is more than this way of companionship. There are many free and broader worlds, and going to sea is just one of them.
The awakened heroine will stay for the sake of her children and the hero, but she will never allow herself to be wronged.
This ending is pretty good, let's spread the flowers~
Doesn't the junior sister deserve a side story?
Although the plot of the story is not established, the exchange is still very interesting to write! The male protagonist became so coquettish that he even gave birth to a child for the female protagonist! Still pretty
The story structure is good, but I feel there are a few shortcomings. 1 Regarding titles: The male protagonist calls him "eldest brother", "eldest brother" and "second brother", which gives people a feeling of being petty and unmanly. The heroine's second sister-in-law (Qin Zhen) calls the hero and heroine uncle and aunt (this is in front of the Huayang County Lord. The first time I saw it, I thought there was something wrong with my eyes, why did I call them that)? 2 Characters: After the male and female protagonists were exchanged, the male protagonist became a girl, not psychologically but behaviorally, while the female protagonist "cryed silently" from time to time while carrying the male protagonist's body. Just like this, the two "personal maids" didn't notice anything unusual. This is even more incomprehensible to me. There is also the story of the male protagonist's teacher's death. It was originally a big official battle, but it was explained in a few words, especially the emperor said that it involved a big secret (anyone who knew it would die), but the male protagonist later said it in an understatement, and it was very...
This is the first time I write such a long review, and I really can't bear it. The story frame is very good, but the author's expressions give me a particularly petty feeling.
Have you not yet explained why Jia Rong did these things?
The male protagonist just gave birth to a child for the female protagonist. When she was pregnant, the female protagonist was used to him and was kind to him. But what did the female protagonist suffer in those three years and the aborted child count? The crematorium was not up at all.
I still feel very sorry for the one-way dedication of the heroine in those three years, which is not enough for the crematorium, and I am very disappointed.
