Coming next: The Crown Prince's Little Sidekick Has Grown Up / A Third Marriage to Become a Noblewoman. Please add them to your reading list~

Shi Luoluo, daughter of the Marquis of Guandong, was a stunning beauty with a bewitching charm. Anyone who saw her in the capital was struck by her at first sight.

The tyrant coveted her. He sent away her father and fiancé, then had her dragged into the imperial palace and claimed her as his own.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Shi Luoluo fell from a tower the night she was forced into the tyrant's bed, dying before her time.

Her death also brought ruin upon her parents and family. Her entire household was executed, and blood ran through the streets.

-

Reborn, Shi Luoluo returned to the day she was taken into the imperial palace.

Facing the tyrant, she pretended to comply and skillfully flattered him.

But all the while, she was intent on assassinating the emperor, seizing the throne, and ridding the people of a tyrant.

Yet for some inexplicable reason, the tyrant became a better man in this life.

He executed corrupt officials, protected loyal ministers, opened up trade routes, improved the riverways, and governed the nation, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse. He brought an end to the fighting and gave the people peace and prosperity.

Most importantly, he saved her from danger time and again.

Shi Luoluo clutched the little medicine bottle in her hand, terribly conflicted. In a situation like this, was she supposed to kill him or not?

-

One night, the man came home drunk and found the young woman still awake, waiting for him. He pulled her into his arms.

Caressing her head with his fingertips, he said with heartache and remorse, "Luoluo, what will it take for you to forgive me?

"Would you accept my life in exchange?"

-

#A story where both the male and female leads are reborn#

Happy ending. No forced whitewashing: black is black, and white is white.

[Shi Luoluo always believed that she had earned her position as a disastrous beauty who brought ruin to the nation through her own efforts, passing one trial after another.

But only Qin Yu knew she had been his chosen one from the very beginning. It had always been her, and could only ever be her.]

● The Crown Prince's Little Sidekick Has Grown Up, coming next~

When Su Han was five, disaster struck her family, and her father entrusted her to the care of a sworn younger brother.

And so Su Han became the little sidekick who followed Jun Ye everywhere.

That year, she followed Jun Ye to the capital. Her bearded merchant uncle transformed into a handsome prince.

Su Han blinked her big eyes and stared blankly for a long while before calling out in her childish voice, "Little Uncle."

-

One midsummer day, Su Han suddenly threw a tantrum, insisting that she wanted to play in the snow.

When Jun Ye returned, he picked up the little girl who refused to go indoors.

The next day, a snow scene made of piled-up cotton had appeared in the prince's manor.

There stood the tall, slender man in the "snow," letting the little girl throw cotton all over him as she laughed with delight.

-

Later, Jun Ye was named heir to the throne. As everyone watched, they wondered which powerful minister's daughter he would choose as his consort to strengthen his political standing.

A nanny told Su Han, "His Highness is about to marry. An unmarried woman staying here would harm his reputation. She should marry someone."

That night, the young girl tearfully said goodbye, explaining that she was going to get married. The man asked her in a hoarse voice who she planned to marry.

Su Han didn't know.

Jun Ye patiently led her on, until the young woman said, "She wants to marry a great and noble man like Little Uncle."

At last, he smiled and replied in a low voice, "All right."

-

At first, Jun Ye agreed to take responsibility for Su Han's life because he thought it would be nice to have a daughter like her someday.

Later, he thought it would be even better to have a daughter with her who was just as adorable.

[Note: The male and female leads are not related by blood, and the romance begins after the female lead reaches adulthood.]

[They first meet when the female lead is 5 and the male lead is 15. She marries at 16, while he is 26. They have a 10-year age gap.]

● A Third Marriage to Become a Noblewoman, please add it to your reading list~

[The heir who wanted neither a wife nor children, only to guard the frontier, has lost his footing]

Jiang Yiwan, daughter of the Marquis of Yongan, has married three times.

The first time, her marriage was arranged by her parents and matchmakers. Her cowardly husband was useless, so she divorced him.

The second time, she chose for herself and married a general, only for her judgment to prove disastrous: he betrayed his country.

As for the third time, Jiang Yiwan had no intention of marrying again, but the matchmaker's offer was simply too tempting.

"The Duke of Ding's family is wealthy, and the status of duchess will help your business."

"There is no mother-in-law, sister-in-law, or other woman in the household to cause conflict. You can take charge of the household as soon as you marry in."

"Most importantly, the heir never comes home!"

Pfft!

That last part did it.

Jiang Yiwan couldn't resist, and she married him.

But if her husband was supposed to be away indefinitely, why had he suddenly come home?

-

Three years after his wedding, Gu Cigu, heir to the Duke of Ding, returned home wounded for the first time.

Looking at the orderly ducal residence, he realized that having a wife could make the household so well-run.

Later, as he recovered in bed and Jiang Yiwan cared for him devotedly, he realized that having a wife to look after him could help him recover so quickly.

"I'm sorry I left you alone on our wedding night and neglected you."

"So..." He kissed the tear at the corner of her eye. "I'm not leaving. I'll stay and make it up to you."

Jiang Yiwan was covered in sweat, but inwardly she rolled her eyes.

Who wanted him to make it up to her?

She had taken care of every little detail so he could leave home sooner.

She had slept with him because his eight-pack abs had momentarily bewitched her and made her lose her senses.

If he didn't leave, how was she supposed to enjoy life as a carefree duchess?

Gu Cigu pressed his forehead against hers and said regretfully, "From now on, let's make a good life together."
