[Currently undergoing a full revision. Blurb below.]

Yan Ruoqing was the only legitimate daughter of the General's household. Frail since childhood, she was sent to the countryside and didn't return to the general's residence until she came of age.

Shortly after returning, Yan Ruoqing had a nightmare.

In her dream, her father betrothed her to the gentle and refined Ninth Prince, Zhao Huai.

After they married, Yan Ruoqing learned that Zhao Huai was actually in love with her younger half-sister, Yan Xuening. He had married her only so that, once she died of her illness, her half-sister could take her place.

After learning the truth, Yan Ruoqing didn't fall out with Zhao Huai. Instead, she planned to outlive him and inherit his wealth.

But the fool Zhao Huai went and rebelled. Not only did he fail, but he also got Yan Ruoqing sentenced to death.

This was ridiculous. She had no feelings for Zhao Huai, so why should she die with him?

After waking from the dream, Yan Ruoqing decided to marry someone else before Zhao Huai could propose. She wasn't about to let this idiot drag her down with him.

But before Yan Ruoqing had a chance to look for a suitable match, the young Marquis Shen blocked her path. As strange as ever, he said nothing and just stared at her with a flushed face.

Yan Ruoqing gazed at the handsome young man before her. After waiting a long while for him to speak, she couldn't help asking, "Young Marquis Shen, why have you stopped me?"

"You remember me?" Shen Rongjun asked, full of hope.

The young man's shy smile dazzled Yan Ruoqing, and she couldn't help saying, "Who hasn't heard that Young Marquis Shen is handsome?"

"Then do you like me, Miss Yan?" Shen Rongjun asked, stunning her with his bluntness.

Looking at the pure-hearted young man before her, Yan Ruoqing felt her heart stir. She decided to lure this little lamb home.

When Yan Ruoqing still hadn't answered after a long while, Shen Rongjun looked worried and was about to leave. Then he heard her say, "After my coming-of-age ceremony, Young Marquis Shen, bring someone to my home to propose!"

At that moment, Shen Rongjun heard the words he had never dared hope for in his previous life, and wanted most of all in this one.

Upcoming story: My Ex-Husband Regretted Our Divorce. Blurb:

[The Ex-Husband's Long Road to Regret / Second Male Lead Wins / No Getting Back Together]

Chu Yunluo had always held a white moonlight in her heart: Qi Yu, the legitimate second son of the Marquis of Changping.

When she was young, someone caused her to fall into the water. He saved her, and she was lucky to survive.

From then on, the young girl's heart belonged to that dashing boy.

Qi Yu loved horseback riding and archery, so Chu Yunluo secretly learned them. Qi Yu loved strategy games, so Chu Yunluo studied game records day and night.

She kept her feelings deeply hidden until the day she secretly overheard her father say that Qi Yu had come to ask for her hand in marriage. Her father looked down on his status and rejected him.

For the first time, the usually shy girl rebelled for the man she loved. She went without food for three days until her father agreed to the marriage.

In a grand sedan chair, surrounded by a lavish bridal procession, she was carried into the Marquis of Changping's residence.

But instead of a loving marriage filled with harmony, she was met with Qi Yu's cold face.

Chu Yunluo thought perhaps her father's earlier rejection had wounded his pride. So even after three years of marriage, though he had never once entered her room, she still dutifully managed the household for him.

That is, until the day Qi Yu was officially named heir...

He brought her pregnant younger sister, Chu Yinong, to the marquis's residence, and treated the sister who had once caused her to fall into the water with tender care.

At that moment, Chu Yunluo suddenly understood that the boy she had loved had already "died."

Later, she knelt before her aunt, the Empress Dowager, for an entire day, just to obtain a divorce decree.

*

As the legitimate second son of the Marquis of Changping, Qi Yu had known since childhood that he would never inherit the title, but he refused to accept it.

So when he accidentally learned that Chu Yunluo, the legitimate eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Chu, loved him, and that her status could help him secure the position of heir, he went straight to the Chu residence to ask for her hand.

Grand Tutor Chu looked down on him and rejected his request outright, leaving Qi Yu so humiliated that he could barely hold his head up at the marquis's residence.

So even after Chu Yunluo went without food for three days and forced Grand Tutor Chu to approve their marriage, even though Qi Yu knew full well that Chu Yunluo was not to blame for the rejection, he still took his anger out on her.

He treated her coldly and insulted her, all to avenge the humiliation he had suffered back then.

Qi Yu knew Chu Yunluo loved him. He thought she would never leave him, no matter how terribly he treated her.

But after he brought Chu Yinong, who had always been at odds with Chu Yunluo, back to the marquis's residence, he received a divorce decree from Chu Yunluo the very next day.

The girl who had once been devoted to him was completely "dead" that day.

Qi Yu regretted it. He searched for Chu Yunluo like a madman, but he could never find the girl who had once looked at him as if he were her whole world.

Reading guide:

1. Qi Yu is the male lead, but he is not the female lead's love interest.

2. The female lead is a yandere black-lotus type, and she's incredibly strong!

3. The second male lead is a tragic beauty, and he's the female lead's love interest.
