A cool, cunning common-born chief minister x a beautiful, cool-headed aristocratic woman [1] Jiang Mingwan was born into a wealthy and powerful family and cherished by everyone. Yet in the year she came of age, she married Xu Zhongxing, a scholar from a humble family. Even though Xu Zhongxing was the youngest top scholar in the Great Zhou dynasty, handsome and distinguished, proud and aloof, everyone said she had married beneath her, and everyone felt she deserved better. But Jiang Mingwan saw Xu Zhongxing's worth. She knew he had ambition, ability, and talent. She believed that if she joined forces with him, she could enjoy a life of wealth and honor in the years ahead. Even though it seemed that his heart belonged to someone else, and he spent every day in his study looking at a portrait of a woman. In the end, Jiang Mingwan got what she wanted: a life of wealth, honor, and comfort. She simply died a little too soon, in her early forties. She had assumed Xu Zhongxing would be overjoyed when she died. But when she passed away, she saw the ever-composed chief minister Xu Zhongxing holding her hand, his eyes red. In view of how heartbroken Xu Zhongxing had been just before she died in her previous life, Jiang Mingwan decided to do something nice after she was reborn. Jiang Mingwan: Husband, if you really like the woman in that painting in your study, let's bring her home and make her your concubine. Xu Zhongxing: There's no need. She's already here. Jiang Mingwan: ? [2] For the first twenty years of his life, Xu Zhongxing had kept himself in check and followed the rules, a gentleman in every way. But the year he turned twenty, he met Jiang Mingwan, and everything fell apart. She was the cinnabar mole on his heart, the moonlight in his life. She was the woman he longed for day and night, the one he had to make his own. Eventually, he couldn't hold back and used every means at his disposal to marry her. But on the very first day of their marriage, he heard her say that she didn't like him. She'd only thought that with his distant manner, they could live together with mutual respect and less trouble. From then on, Xu Zhongxing never dared reveal his true feelings. He could only express his longing in front of her portrait, because he was truly afraid that if she learned what he really thought, she would never speak to him again. But Xu Zhongxing never expected that one day, the high and distant bright moon would draw near to him of her own accord. And at last, he could hold the moon in his arms. Coming soon: [After Faking My Death, I Became Everyone's Moonlight]. Click the author's profile to see it. Rong Xi had been the sect leader's eldest disciple, with a bright future ahead of her. But overnight, because of a new junior sister, she fell into the abyss and became the target of everyone's scorn. She taught her junior sister swordsmanship. When the girl accidentally got hurt, people accused Rong Xi of murdering a fellow disciple and called her unforgivable. She took her junior sister out to exterminate demons. When the girl was captured by the Demon Lord, people accused Rong Xi of colluding with demons and branded her a heinous criminal. It all sounded absurd and unreasonable, yet every accusation was supported by solid evidence and impossible to refute. At the Immortal Sect Assembly, Rong Xi was sentenced to have her immortal bones removed and to suffer three hundred lashes from the God-Slaying Whip. Everyone knew the outcome of this punishment: at best, her cultivation would be destroyed; at worst, her soul would be obliterated. Not one of her former fellow disciples pleaded for her, and not one was willing to hear her defense. In the end, Rong Xi gave up all hope and leaped from the Execution Immortal Platform. Even in death, she wanted to choose how she died. What she couldn't see was that after she jumped from the Execution Immortal Platform, those who had once looked at her with disdain and resentment lost their minds and fell into demonic corruption after her death. Three hundred years later, Rong Xi defied life and death and was reborn. She thought she had many enemies and would need to tread carefully. She never expected that the world would have become so unrecognizable. Theme: Join forces to build a better home.
