Blurb:

[A capricious, passionate drama queen X a patient, slow-to-warm young prince]

Chu Yu had dreamed since childhood of marrying her older male cousin when she came of age, so they could finally become a real family.

Whenever she fought with her stepmother each year, she'd pack her belongings and run to her aunt's home. She went to vent her frustrations, of course, but also to get closer to her cousin and coax his wooden head into understanding her feelings.

One day, she ran away to her aunt's home again, ready to pour out her woes, when she heard some shocking news: her cousin, who never paid women any attention, had brought home a woman of incomparable beauty.

"Incomparable beauty? A woman?" She laughed until tears came to her eyes and shook her head. "Don't believe rumors, and don't spread them." Her cousin was more chaste than Liu Xiahui. How could it be true?

"I saw it with my own eyes. He even gently helped the woman along, treating her like a precious treasure."

Chu Yu's hopes came crashing down. She broke down and cried, "I don't believe it! If I couldn't do it in ten years, what kind of vixen could?"

Meng Yuanming had been exiled for seventeen years. Then, an imperial decree summoned him home to inherit the throne, but assassins pursued him all along the way.

Dragging his battered body behind him, he reluctantly followed his subordinate's suggestion: disguise himself as a delicate young woman and recuperate at the governor's residence.

Before his physical injuries could heal, he found himself enduring a different kind of torment.

Some girl he'd never met had decided he was her love rival. Every day, she thought up new ways to pick on him, set traps for him, and bully him.

Meng Yuanming's injuries worsened from sheer anger. Just as he decided to tell her the truth, her personality suddenly changed, and she began calling him "Big Sister" all day long...

"My cousin is a womanizing pervert. He once harassed a respectable young lady right in the street... He doesn't even spare married women..."

Meng Yuanming: "..."

"My cousin doesn't brush his teeth before bed or wash his feet at night, and his quilt reeks."

Meng Yuanming: "..."

"Actually, my cousin likes men."

The hand holding Meng Yuanming's book trembled slightly. He asked 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."

"..."

The Amnesiac Young Lord Reduced to a Male Servant:

[A money-grubbing coward who clings to life X a sweet, gentle puppy-like young man]

Sun Yueqing grew up poor, and she had only one dream: to live a long life and marry a good man.

She worked tirelessly toward her dream and never passed up a chance to do good, provided it earned her a hefty reward.

One day, she found a blood-soaked young man at the foot of a mountain. Sun Yueqing sized him up: fine clothes, expensive jade pendant. This one was worth saving!

She happily took him home, spent a fortune on medicine and a doctor, and dreamed of the reward he'd give her once he woke up: "Miss, I can't repay you, so please accept a thousand taels of silver."

Before long, he really did wake up, but he couldn't answer a single question. He had amnesia.

She was devastated. "Fraud! Give me back my ten taels of silver!"

From then on, she worked him day and night, but despite his handsome features and dignified bearing, he was terrible at chores. He broke bowls washing dishes, snapped the axe while chopping wood, and dropped the laundry in the water...

Sun Yueqing suppressed her anger and took a deep breath. "You owe me ten taels and eight coins... ten taels and ten coins... ten taels and twenty coins... Just go die!"

"Sorry, I can't," the young man replied, looking hurt and apologetic.

"Then what can you do? Eat? You're useless! What good are you to me?"

The young man bit his lip, silently picked up the axe, and awkwardly chopped wood. "Yueqing, don't be mad. I'll do my best to learn."

Six months later, the young man had become capable of chopping wood, gathering herbs, and just about anything else. Then one day, he remembered who he really was.

He looked at Sun Yueqing with delight and said solemnly, "I remember now. My name is Shen Qian, and I'm the heir to Duke Anguo. Come home with me, and I'll reward you handsomely..."

"Smack!" His head spun, and Sun Yueqing laughed at him. "You're the heir to a duke? Then I'm the emperor's wife. Get back to work!"

Later, Sun Yueqing returned from gathering herbs to find the county magistrate and a group of guards bowing and kowtowing to the young man.

She covered her mouth in horror. "Could he really be the heir to a marquis's household...?" Then she remembered all the times she'd beaten and bossed him around, and fled on the spot without even taking her bundle.

Later, Shen Qian found her and asked in confusion, "Yueqing, why did you run? I haven't even had a chance to repay you!"

"Repay me?" She was on the verge of tears. How were you going to repay me?

"Would you accept me as your husband?"

The Green Tea Lady Regrets Revealing Her True Colors:

An innocent young lord X a scheming, unhinged woman.

Shen Yan had a face as lovely as a lotus, but she was ruthless in all she did and stopped at nothing to achieve her goals.

She always kept two sayings in mind:

First: No hero can resist a beauty, and even the hardest steel can be bent into something soft.

Second: A married couple is like two birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, each flies away alone.

To her, love and marriage were nothing more than tools to use.

To avoid the marriage her stepmother had arranged for her, and to stay forever above her younger sister, she devised a little scheme that got the heir to the Marquis's household, Jun Shaoling, to propose to her of his own accord.

Then she looked at her younger sister, who had married into the marquis's household alongside her but ranked beneath her, and couldn't help gloating: As long as I want something, I can get it. Men and status are no exception!

But Jun Shaoling stood behind her, and when Shen Yan looked at his gentle face, she rarely showed such shock and disappointment. For the first time, she felt panic.

Jun Shaoling was the heir to the Marquis's household, with a distinguished family and striking looks. He was the dream lover of countless noble young women in the imperial capital. Everyone speculated about what his future bride would be like, and when news of his marriage broke, countless young ladies wept by the Xiang River.

He couldn't have cared less, devoting himself entirely to a woman he'd known for only a few days.

Until the day he received word that the woman he loved was in grave danger. He hurried to their appointed meeting place, only to hear her mocking laughter ring out: "I just love taking your things, including your man. I want you to watch Jun Shaoling do whatever I say and obey my every whim..."

The sword slipped from Shen Yan's hand. She turned around, but Jun Shaoling merely gave a quiet laugh and walked away.

Not long afterward, however, Shen Yan still got her wish and married into the marquis's household.

Scene 1:

That night, Jun Shaoling was not his usual gentle self. Every move was rough and cruel. Enduring the pain, Shen Yan tried to cajole him: "What's wrong, my lord? Is something on your mind?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

Jun Shaoling held her face and studied it for a long time, then sneered. "I was wondering if you even have a heart. If you did, how come I could never warm it?"

"Don't say that, my lord. I've always loved you." She reached for him in a panic.

Jun Shaoling put on his clothes and looked down at her coldly. "You can stop pretending. And stop taking birth control pills. From now on, I won't touch you again. Just as you wanted."

"My lord..." Shen Yan panicked. It seemed she really was about to lose him.
