[This is the next one I'm planning to write]
No one knew why the chancellor, once on friendly terms with the emperor, turned against him overnight and stormed the palace, slaughtering everyone within.
The words "Song Xiyu is guilty beyond forgiveness" gradually spread through the streets.
Before closing his eyes for the last time, Song Xiyu looked at the blood on his palm and smiled bitterly.
"Everyone says I've committed countless murders in this life, but A-Luan, in the end, I couldn't protect you."
Reborn, Song Xiyu kept the little girl close, treating her like a tiny chick and looking ready to die before letting anyone else lay a finger on her.
The emperor: "Song San, tell that son of yours to let go of my girl."
Jiang Li: "Song Xiyu, stop clinging to my younger sister!"
Song San himself had no idea what had gotten into his son. One birthday later, he'd turned into this.
Years later...
During a palace coup, Song Xiyu protected Jiang Li while keeping an eye on the little girl beside him.
Their positions were different, but this time, he still stood against Jiang Yuan.
Song Xiyu could never forget how Jiang Yuan had used his own life to force Jiang Luan to take her own life in his previous life.
The little girl was so afraid of pain, yet at that moment she took the three-foot strip of white silk from the guard without hesitation.
"A-Luan, everyone says I've committed countless murders, but in this life, I only want to save you."
One day...
After court, Jiang Li had nothing to do, so he wandered over to the chancellor's residence to play chess with Song Xiyu.
When he entered, he saw Song Xiyu sitting cross-legged at the entrance to Chunhe Hall, with a pile of things laid out in front of him.
Jiang Li: "What are you doing... reflecting on your mistakes?"
Song Xiyu: "Not exactly... My wife kicked me out."
Jiang Li rubbed his forehead. "Serves you right for spoiling her!"
Song Xiyu rolled his eyes. "My wife is delicate and helpless. Why shouldn't I spoil her?"
Delicate and helpless?
Everyone in the capital knew that Song Xiyu's supposedly delicate and helpless wife could take on three people at once!

Blurb:
In the third year of Anning, Lin Zhi, a founding statesman who had helped the emperor ascend the throne, died of illness. After his daughter received an imperial decree granting her the title of commandery princess, she was sent to Beiping.
No one knew what the emperor was thinking. Perhaps he was suspicious, or perhaps he wanted to protect her. No one could say for sure.
Only one person knew that Xu Yi, the second son of the Beiping Marquis Xu family, had been betrothed to her before birth.
Lin Jiang was simple-minded. All she wanted was a safe place in the marquis's residence where she could stay. She had never expected to marry Xu Yi and become its mistress.
At first, Xu Yi, who had inherited the title, thought that marrying Lin Jiang would give his father something to stop nagging him about, while also honoring his father's bond with Lin Jiang's father.
A perfect solution. Why refuse?
But as the years passed and his feelings grew, Xu Yi gradually came to think that having a sweet little wife by his side was rather nice.
Even on the battlefield, he would have someone to worry about.
By a twist of fate, however, Xu Yi discovered that his wife was actually eager for him to go to war.
Lin Jiang: "Husband, when are you going off to war?"
Xu Yi: "Are you really that unhappy with me staying at home?"
Lin Jiang denied it, and Xu Yi believed her.
One day, he returned from the barracks and planned to bring his wife some pastries. Instead, he heard Lin Jiang's gentle yet firm voice.
Lin Jiang: "Actually... being a widow isn't so bad."
Xu Yi: ...
What was he supposed to do about the fact that his wife not only didn't understand his feelings, but was also hoping he would die?
