The Timid Beauty and Her Powerful Husband

Pre-release title: My Love Rival Is Actually a Man, and I Am Not in Control of My Own Fate. Rolling around and begging for your bookmarks

Blurb:

Qin Sang was born the daughter of an official, but in a single day her family was destroyed and her parents passed away. She took her young brother to live under her uncle's roof, dependent on others and begging for scraps in the tiger's den.

She was beautiful, sweet, gentle, and sensible, but her aunt disliked her, and her cousin bullied her.

She swallowed her grievances for the sole purpose of giving her younger brother a safe place to live.

…

When they treated her harshly and made things difficult for her, she endured it!

When they threw her out of the house, she endured it!

When she was forced into a ghost marriage, she cried for a long time, but for her younger brother's sake, she endured it all the same.

On her wedding night, she was choking back tears in sorrow when someone suddenly lifted her veil, revealing a handsome face.

Hadn't she married a memorial tablet?

Could it be that the ghost was so delighted by the wedding that he wanted to come and see what he looked like?

…

Only after the wedding did Qin Sang understand that she had married the wrong person. So she decided to let the mistake stand and kept enduring things at the Marquis's residence.

But to her surprise, her mother-in-law cherished her, the servants respected her, and even her powerful husband treated her tenderly.

Her life was wonderful, making her aunt's eyes turn red with envy. Gritting her teeth, her aunt started plotting trouble again.

One day, her husband could take it no longer. Loathing injustice, he said, "They're bullying you to your face, and you still put up with it?"

Qin Sang lowered her head and murmured, "I wouldn't dare."

He flew into a rage. "With a husband like me backing you up, why wouldn't you dare?"

Qin Sang: "Then should I try fighting back?"

…

As the most talked-about young marquis in Jizhou, Helan Zhao was as elegant as an orchid and as proud as a tree, arrogant and unruly. He had never cared about anyone but the emperor and his mother.

He had seen more than enough of the aristocratic clans' life of wine and pleasure, and had met countless overbearing young ladies from powerful families. Yet for some reason, he couldn't bear to see a young girl he had met only a few times suffer.

She was dressed in rags and timid as a mouse, yet she stood up to him for the sake of her younger brother's life.

She was kind by nature and repaid hatred with kindness. To repay a debt of gratitude, she agreed to marry a memorial tablet and live as a widow for the rest of her life.

Helan Zhao didn't know what had come over him. Bewitched, he secretly married her and brought her to his side without anyone finding out. It wasn't for her looks, but so she could live in peace from then on.

"From now on, I'll look out for you. Don't be afraid."

"You can hit back at anyone who bullies you. I'll back you up."

Who knew she would smile faintly and shake her head? "With the Marquis standing up for me, I won't hold it against them."

Helan Zhao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "That won't do. I can't forgive anyone who bullies my people. If you don't dare, I'll take care of it myself."

The young girl looked frightened and waved her hands repeatedly at his fists. "There's no need to trouble the Marquis. I'll do it myself."

Helan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, then began watching her methods of revenge from the sidelines. They were childish beyond belief. He couldn't help grinding his teeth as he spat out a few words: "Are you playing house? Watch how it's done!"

Little scene:

After the wedding, Qin Sang dutifully cared for her mother-in-law and looked after her husband. Feeling that her status was lowly, she went out of her way to please her husband, the heir to the marquisate. In the eyes of her sworn enemy, her gentle and obedient manner was nothing but groveling, shameless flattery, and despicable scheming.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It can't be easy marrying into the Marquis's residence. You really have no shame, using such dirty tricks to keep your husband's heart."

Qin Sang: "I..." She bit her lip, her eyes turning red.

Helan Zhao put an arm around her slender waist, his eyes full of concern. "Qingqing, why are you crying? Who bullied you? I'll make them pay!"

Her sworn enemy: "..." Wasn't the Marquis supposed to dislike her?

[Capricious, passionate, and unafraid to love or hate little troublemaker X patient, slow-to-warm young prince]

Chu Yu had had one wish since she was little: to marry her eldest cousin when she came of age, and from then on become a real family with him.

For this reason, whenever she quarreled with her stepmother each year, she packed up her belongings and ran to her aunt's residence. Partly to vent her grievances, and partly to bring herself and her cousin closer, so that his wooden head might finally catch on.

That day, she ran away from home to her aunt's residence again. Just as she was about to pour out all her troubles, she heard some explosive news: her eldest cousin, who never showed any interest in women, had actually brought home a breathtakingly beautiful woman from outside.

"Breathtakingly beautiful? A woman?" She laughed until tears came to her eyes, then shook her head. "Don't believe rumors, and don't spread them." Her eldest cousin was more virtuous than Liu Xiahui. How could that possibly be true?

"This servant saw it with my own eyes. He even gently supported that woman, taking care of her as if she were a priceless treasure."

Chu Yu's hopes collapsed with a crash. On the verge of breaking down, she cried, "I don't believe it! I couldn't manage it in ten years, so what kind of vixen could possibly do it?"

Meng Yuanming had been exiled for seventeen years. Then a secret imperial decree ordered him to return to his homeland and inherit the throne. Unexpectedly, he was pursued and ambushed all along the way.

Dragging his battered body along, he endured the pain and followed his subordinates' advice: disguise himself as a delicate young woman and stay at the governor's residence while he recovered.

He hadn't even recovered from his physical injuries when mental torment arrived without warning.

A girl from who knew where took him for her love rival. Every day, she found new ways to pick fights, lay traps, and bully him.

Meng Yuanming was so furious that his injuries worsened. He was just about to tell her the truth when her personality suddenly changed, and she began calling him "Big Sister" all day long...

"My cousin is a womanizer and a lecher. He once harassed a respectable young woman right in the street... He doesn't even spare married women..."

Meng Yuanming: "..."

"My cousin doesn't brush his teeth before bed, and he doesn't wash his feet at night. His quilt stinks to high heaven."

Meng Yuanming: "..."

"Actually, my cousin likes men."

The hand holding the book trembled slightly. Meng Yuanming said helplessly, "Does your cousin know you're slandering him behind his back?"

Chu Yu: "Big Sister, what did you say? You're holding your book upside down."

"..."

This book is a true-feeling chronicle written by the author after carefully observing life. It draws on the eighteen years Lin Xiaoya lived in her hometown, as well as the magical place names found throughout it. All the people and place names mentioned in the story are real. I hope more friends will take an interest in Yaniangzhai, a remote area in the ethnic minority autonomous region of Guizhou Province.

More truth, kindness, and beauty are waiting for you there forever. They'll be waiting for you!

Everyone among the great families knew that Third Master Qiu kept a statue of Buddha in his mansion. The first thing he did every morning was bow to it three times. Everyone guessed that he was afraid he wouldn't be reborn into a good family in his next life. No one ever thought that he was praying for his Sui Sui.

This book is on hiatus. I don't know what will happen next, but it probably won't be updated. Will you all read my other book? I won't delete this one.

5":"(The new story is being written in advance. Please bookmark! Please bookmark!)

Huo Jing was a powerful CEO on Earth. When he woke up one morning, he discovered that he had transmigrated and turned into an insect.

Fortunately, he was still male.

The original owner was a down-and-out male insect who had used every underhanded trick he could think of to finally marry Darcy Claire, the youngest major general in the entire insect race, the untouchable flower of the military, and the dream mate of countless male insects.

Now that Huo Jing had transmigrated, he naturally inherited the original owner's beautiful female spouse and was set to live happily ever after on his wife's earnings... Except he wasn't!

As a (former) powerful CEO, Huo Jing firmly rejected living off his wife. His family's good values had engraved "work with your own hands to provide for yourself" into his DNA, so as soon as he transmigrated, he divorced the original owner's wife.

Huo Jing: No one can force me to live off my wife. No one!

Later, Huo Jing met an extraordinarily beautiful female insect, and his heart was moved.

Huo Jing: A wise man avoids love, but for you, I'm willing to be a fool.

The female insect, who had never heard human pickup lines, was so moved that she burst into tears, then agreed to marry Huo Jing.

After they got married, Huo Jing stared at his wife, who had shed her disguise, and fell into deep thought. Wait, isn't this his ex-wife?

Notes:

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced. The bottom had no intimate contact with the original owner.

2. The top is the main point-of-view character, though there will be a few sections from the bottom's perspective.

3. There will be a pregnancy and childbirth plotline.

(The following is the blurb for this story.)

Happy little farmer Wen Jian once went into the mountains and found a handsome young man. The young man was badly injured and lay at Wen Jian's home for over half a month. Once his injuries had healed, Wen Jian prepared to kick him out.

The young man held a venomous snake egg in his hand, his eyes red as he nodded sadly.

Wen Jian: Tsk, he's actually crying. He must have fallen for me and doesn't want to leave.

The young man: ...

Late at night, the young man threw a hidden weapon that almost killed him.

Wen Jian: Tsk, he didn't kill me. He must love me and couldn't bear to finish the job, my darling.

The young man: ...

A young hooligan harassed the young man, who promptly pulled out all his hair.

Wen Jian: Tsk, he's so good at this. A wife who's both clever and handy is a real bargain.

The young man: ...Mm.

Wen Jian: What does "mm" mean?

The young man: You're right.

And so Wen Jian gained the achievement of a wife, children, and a warm hearth.

Fu Yin was the leader of a demonic sect. Everyone in the world said he was ruthless. Just hearing his name was enough to tell you he was a ruthless man.

Fu Yin: Since everyone says I'm ruthless, I might as well see it through.

So Fu Yin went further and further down the path of an evil, demonic villain, until he happened to fall off a cliff and meet Wen Jian.

Fu Yin was cruel and vicious, while Wen Jian was openhearted and forgiving.

Fu Yin hated the world, while Wen Jian took him by the hand and taught him to embrace it.

Fu Yin had never thought about the future, while Wen Jian gave him one (namely, the glorious future of becoming a major pig farmer).

Optimistic, hardworking, doting, and goofy top X foodie, lazy, capable, and cunning bottom

Secondary Couple 1: Sunny left protector of the demonic sect X gloomy, lovesick chief eunuch

Secondary Couple 2 (GB): Ruthless, ambitious right protector of the demonic sect, a seductive woman X gentle, aloof, and beautiful bleating spirit

Notes:

1. Wen Jian is the top, and Fu Yin is the bottom. I've already thought of a couple name: "Document Copier," hahaha.

2. Though hardly anyone is reading this, I still want to say that I haven't done any research. It's all made up, so fact-checking it would be entirely pointless.

3. Please bookmark! Please bookmark! Please bookmark!

4. Both the top and bottom have point-of-view sections, about half and half, I think.

5. There are plenty of wild plot twists, and the dimensions might get a little mixed up too...

6. All right, I've let my imagination run wild.
