The Prime Minister's Wife in His Humble Years (Both Reborn)

[Up for Preorder: Have You Hidden Your Ears Today? Please add it to your collection~]

Qi Shiwei married Pei Qingrong, an unvalued son of a prominent family. Seeing her future husband as quiet and cool, refined and handsome, she hoped they could be an ordinary married couple.

After getting married, she began to dream.

In her dreams, the pitiful Pei Qingrong of today would become the future Chief Grand Secretary, wielding power across the court and holding the world in the palm of his hand.

When others spoke of Minister Pei, who had lost his wife young and never remarried, they spoke mostly with fear and wariness. That man stood alone at the pinnacle of power, his true face impossible to discern. The quiet scholar of his youth had been nothing but a false mask.

There were even rumors that he had poisoned his own wife with his own hands.

Qi Shiwei woke up trembling, eyes full of tears.

But she didn't know that Pei Qingrong had always loved her, in his past life and this one.

In his previous life, when Pei Qingrong was still of low status, he had secretly vowed to give Qi Shiwei a life of wealth and splendor, and to grow old with her.

But fate was fickle. Qi Shiwei was murdered, and he hadn't even had the chance to make her a promise.

Reborn into another life, Pei Qingrong secretly vowed never to let go of her hand again.

Yet Pei Qingrong narrowed his eyes. She seemed... afraid of him?

Warnings:

The female lead is delicate and naive, and stays that way until the ending.

The male lead is reborn from the start, while the female lead gradually regains her memories of her past life.

The author's not very smart, and the court power struggles are glossed over, all at the level of child's play.

Up for preorder: Whoever Wants to Be Crown Princess Can Have the Job:

Yun Huan is a cat demon who sneaks into the palace and becomes a maid.

With insufficient magical power, she can only maintain her human form for half a day. By day she's human, by night she's a cat, climbing walls to steal braised pork, picking roses from the imperial garden, and scraping gold leaf off incense burners...

In short, she's committed to sneaking snacks and slacking off, saving up a fortune for her retirement after leaving the palace!

As an adorable little cat who knows how to act cute and beg for affection, Yun Huan finds herself three owners in the palace:

A handsome guard, a cool scholar, and a scheming crown prince.

Today, she snatches fish from the handsome guard's lunchbox. Tomorrow, she washes her feet in the cool scholar's teacup. The day after, she leaves plum-blossom paw prints on the scheming crown prince's bed.

Her three owners are usually in different places at different times, and Yun Huan's schedule is meticulously planned. She's never been caught.

The guard's assigned post is near the palace chambers she's responsible for. Whenever Yun Huan passes him in human form, she gives him a smile.

But...

Why do the scholar and the crown prince keep coming over here too?

The crown prince gritted his teeth. "Did you never realize the other two are also me? I just changed clothes."

"Or did you never recognize me at all?"

The little cat was horrified. The little cat's fur stood on end! The little cat pretended not to understand and tried to run out the window.

"Who are you trying to fool? Whenever you see me in human form, you forget to hide your ears." The crown prince ground his teeth. "You toyed with my feelings, so now you'll be my crown princess."

The crown prince put on a cold expression, then carefully lifted the little cat by the scruff and cradled her in his hands before kissing her.

Up for preorder: After Our Betrothals Were Switched, I Became Empress

When the Hu people invaded the south and both her parents died, Cheng Zhanluo followed her uncle and aunt south, forced to exchange betrothals with her cousin.

Her fiancé changed from the current emperor to Zhuang Shoubai.

Though he was the eldest son of a military governor, he was a lowborn soldier who had gone missing on the front lines, his fate unknown.

In troubled times, whoever had soldiers held the real power. Cheng Zhanluo composed herself and prepared to become a widow, keeping watch over her husband's family home.

"We're family, after all. Once I'm empress, I'll stand up for you and never let you suffer just because you married into a common family," her cousin said. "Even if you really do become a widow... I'll often summon you to the palace for company. When you see me, you won't need to perform the full three-kowtows-and-nine-prostrations ritual. One kowtow will do."

Years later, when the new dynasty was founded, Cheng Zhanluo was crowned empress. Everyone bowed respectfully at her feet, shouting, "Long live the empress!" That included the cousin who had said those words years before.

Growth and comeback, "The carp leapt through the Dragon Gate and eventually surpassed everyone else," contest entry reason: The male and female leads work together, persevere, and overcome numerous hardships, ultimately making up for the regrets of their past lives and creating a happy ending.
