As the legitimate eldest princess of Daxian, Jiang Zhiyu grew up adored by everyone.
The young nobles all admired her and did everything they could to please this precious jewel.
But she only had eyes for Chu Xiuchen, the young general who led the Northern Expedition.
Though she was endlessly pampered and made countless advances, she never once saw Chu Xiuchen show the slightest affection.
She thought a marriage contract might strengthen the bond between them, but on their wedding night, Chu Xiuchen came toward her through the rain, sword in hand.
The only answer in his eyes was a cold, lifeless chill.
"You and I were never meant to be."
Under the eaves, a woman smiled like a blooming flower as she watched the princess become a laughingstock.
It turned out the marriage had only been a temporary expedient for him.
-
Everyone said that Princess Duanmin and the bright, noble general were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Only Jiang Zhiyu knew she would never again stake her true feelings and her life on him for nothing.
Reborn, she decided she no longer wanted this stone that could never be warmed.
In her previous life, she remembered, Chu Xiuchen had personally asked for the imperial decree arranging their marriage.
But in this new life, she heard Chu Xiuchen clearly refuse the Empress's arrangement.
"Your Majesty, I have no feelings for the princess. I ask you to withdraw your decree."
Now he was heartless, and she had no interest in him. Perfect.
But after she "fell for someone else," General Chu, who had always disliked her chattering in his ear, found that he couldn't get used to the peaceful days after all. He even murmured in his sleep:
"Your Highness, I regret it."
Jiang Zhiyu sneered. "What do you regret?"

Coming Soon
The Inside Is as Good as the Outside
A princess in distress from a foreign land X a cold-hearted, unhinged crown prince
Jin Yao was a princess of her country, and should have lived a life of comfort and luxury.
But political turmoil within the royal family turned her into a despised lark under everyone's feet, a duckweed on the water. Wearing ragged clothes, she fled to the corner of a tavern wall and curled up there.
A group of nobles from Great Yan happened to pass through. Jin Yao was mistaken for a camp prostitute and sent into a nobleman's brocade tent.
Only after a wild night did she realize that the man before her was no ordinary master, but the Crown Prince of the current dynasty, on a northern tour.
She also heard from others that the Eastern Palace's master was ruthless and violent, a bloodthirsty killer who spared not even his own siblings.
The palace servants bullied her, saying the Crown Prince suffered from a hidden ailment and would likely need her as a medicinal ingredient from then on, until he had drained her completely.
Jin Yao struggled to survive, knowing that staying here would likely cost her life.
After weighing her options for a long time, she chose to run away alone.
Crown Prince Lu Chenzhi met with an accident during his northern tour and was accidentally afflicted by a love curse.
He thought that brief moment of tenderness had been nothing more than a night of pleasure. Only when he came to his senses did he realize it had all been real.
Then one day, a maid came to report that she had vanished without a trace.
The next time Lu Chenzhi saw her, she had become the princess recently found by a neighboring kingdom, and was about to be sent to Yan as a bride in a political marriage.
·
Beneath a corridor in the neighboring kingdom
Lu Chenzhi lowered his eyes and approached step by step. "I hear you're getting married?"
Jin Yao put away the smile she'd worn while receiving guests and coldly rebuked the man approaching her:
"If you're here to congratulate me on my wedding, Crown Prince, there's no need to come all this way."
She pulled a gold hairpin from her hair and held it against his chest. "What exactly do you want, Crown Prince?"
"To repay my debt."
Lu Chenzhi grabbed her slender wrist and forced the hairpin through his brocade robe, driving its blunt end into his flesh. "Would it be all right if I repaid you like this?"
Even if she was only a tool her elder brother used to consolidate his power, that was still better than getting entangled with the Crown Prince of Yan again.
"Has your curse flared up again today, Your Highness?"
Jin Yao scoffed and tightened her grip.
"What does my political marriage have to do with you?"
Coming Soon 2: After His Wife Lost Her Memory
Li Qingge was the legitimate daughter of a military family, a pampered young lady with a fiery temper and an unruly, spoiled nature.
Jiang Xun was the chief grand secretary, moody and indifferent. He was young and talented, but ruthless in his methods. Naturally, he paid little attention to matters of love.
Through a twist of fate, the two got married.
After the wedding, Li Qingge tried to rein in her temper.
But all she got in return was a marriage that was harmonious in appearance but distant in reality, coldly respectful rather than affectionate.
Then, after someone else "set her up," she finally saw Jiang Xun for who he really was.
Just as she decided to confront him, she fell and injured her head, losing her memory.
*
His wife had lost her memory, so Jiang Xun did his best to help her recover it.
At first, he was only fulfilling his duty as her husband.
But gradually, he found that his wife could be rather cute like this.
Even if she had become his biggest hater...
*
1. His wife liked to sleep in during winter, so he would kiss her brow and softly call her a lazy pig to wake her up.
Who knew she'd go off and wipe away her tears in secret, telling someone else: QAQ My husband called me a pig!
2. A guard reported that his wife had gone out to relax and was having such a good time she didn't want to come home.
So he told them to keep following her carefully.
When she returned, she burst into tears. "Husband, do you have another woman outside? I was gone all day, and you weren't even worried!"
3. When he saw her eating slowly, he kindly reminded her that the food would get cold.
But the ungrateful little thing went around telling everyone he mistreated her and planned to make her eat leftovers for the rest of her life!
4. He quietly took contraceptive medicine and reassured her that there was no need to rush about having children.
Who knew he would learn from a friend that he supposedly "had a hidden ailment and couldn't consummate the marriage"???
Jiang Xun thought: A great man's heart is broad enough to sail a boat! Fine, as long as my wife is happy. It doesn't matter if she spreads a few more rumors about me!
*
He was having the time of his life, but the good days didn't last long.
One day, Li Qingge regained her memory.
The first thing she did was rush up to Jiang Xun and coldly toss him the divorce agreement she'd written long ago:
"Chief Grand Secretary Jiang, let's go our separate ways from now on."
Jiang Xun's face went white as paper.
After that,
Chief Grand Secretary Jiang was either on his way to coax his wife or on his way to pursue her,
and he never came back.
#With one smile from my beautiful wife, my life and death are out of my hands!#
P.S. The female lead was misled by someone, and there's a misunderstanding.
The overall tone is sweet.
Premise: Love is fearless from the moment it is born.
General: No! I'm already yours (doge)
Wuwuwuwuwu, the emperor actually knew that she might not be his biological child and still doted on her so much.
It's stuck here! Go ahead and write down, is there anything that our VIPs can't see?
Thinking about the past life, despite the difficulties, Jiang Zhiyu died at a young age after all, and Chu Gou bears the unshirkable responsibility. So I must torture him, torture him, and torture him.
Dear children, the new book has been opened! Remember to support me a lot, pen core.
Writing love poems, I feel like it is something that adolescent girls would like to do.
Help, this chapter made me so sweet that I was so sweet. Ahhhhhhh
Sweet, great progress~
Aunt Wen is a hidden stake...
"Don't" give the author a lot of trouble ~ Why do I think Jiang Xining is a bit weird?
