Spring Snow Is Ready to Burn

[A low-energy, fragile introvert and a high-energy, tough extrovert find love after an arranged marriage] [Sweet, sweet, sweet; complete] Shen Li was born into a family of families, a noblewoman among noblewomen. With a beauty as pristine as ice and snow, she was beyond reach. There were three things she disliked in life: A god of war, anyone who flouted proper etiquette, and political enemies. Xiao Ran checked all three boxes. The Prince of Danyang, Xiao Ran, was a young military commander, dashing and full of swagger, with countless deaths on his hands and a defiant nature. There were also three things he disliked in life: Spoiled people, people who made too much of rules, and members of the Shen family. Shen Li checked all three boxes. One day, an imperial edict was secretly issued, binding these two people, whose natures clashed like fire and water, together. A marriage of convenience: neither had any affection for the other. “Our families may be at odds for a long time. It would be best not to let outsiders know about our marriage.” On their wedding night, Shen Li sat ramrod straight. “We’d make better rivals than spouses.” Xiao Ran’s face was as cold as jade. He crossed his arms and sneered. “Thank goodness you’ve finally figured that out!” Their brief stubbornness earned them a lifetime of face-slapping. Young and hotheaded, how could he have imagined that one day he’d bow and yield, hissing hoarsely in their bedchamber: “What kind of rivals share a bed and end up tangled together? Shen Li, you’re clearly the sort who lifts her skirts and then leaves without a second thought!” One-line summary: She marries the one person she could never love, her sworn enemy. Reading guide: 1. A cool, marriage-phobic, fragile noblewoman × a straightforward, love-struck young military commander. This is a marriage-first, love-later story, so please skip it if these character types aren’t for you. 2. A fictional setting inspired by a blend of the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties. Not suitable for historical fact-checking. 3. The heroine has a secret identity. She is not a strong female lead. Romance and plot make up a 7:3 ratio; a sweet story about adjusting to married life. 4. The heroine’s name comes from Qu Yuan’s poem “The Nine Songs”: “Someone is there, on the mountain’s slope, wearing vine leaves and bindweed.” The name refers to a noble and elegant flowering plant. Next novel: The Tenth Year After Falling into the Water [Blurb 1] In the first year of Qingping, Li Zhuozhi took the marriage contract arranged by her elders and, with her two young siblings in tow, married into a powerful family from the countryside. A young married couple, but each with their own thoughts. She packed her bags, determined to part on good terms. But on her way to the ancestral hall to ask for a divorce, Li Zhuozhi slipped and fell into the water. When she opened her eyes again, she had somehow arrived ten years in the future! A brave and spirited female general pulled her into a tight embrace. Her voice was firm. “I’m here. No one will ever bully you again.” Li Zhuozhi: This… is her rebellious, hot-tempered younger sister??? A handsome, elegant top scholar lowered his head meekly, his eyes reddening. “From now on, I’ll protect you, Big Sister.” Li Zhuozhi: This… is her frail youngest brother, who grew up taking medicine??? Even more incredible, her beautiful but sharp-tongued husband, Liang Zhou, had become the powerful prime minister, feared by everyone. So this marriage… Could she still get a divorce? [Blurb 2] Liang Zhou waited for ten years, and spent ten years in regret. At long last, he saw the woman he had dreamed of day and night again, but the first words out of her mouth were “I’m here to divorce you.” Ten years had passed. She was still the bright, youthful eighteen-year-old she’d been before, but the world around her had changed beyond recognition. That day, the arrogant and handsome prime minister approached her step by step. His gaze slowly swept over the talented young men beside her before he asked, word by word: “Zhi has a husband. Have you all forgotten?” Reading guide: 1. Before she transmigrates, the heroine is 18 and the hero is 20. After she transmigrates, the hero is 30 and suffering from anxiety about his looks. One-line summary: She transmigrates ten years into the future on the eve of her divorce, only to find her husband has become a powerful prime minister. What now?
