The First Counselor's Wife Ran Away

[Story complete]

Su Ruowan had cherished a beloved man in her heart for years: Xiao Xun, the cool and refined, all-powerful Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He was also someone she could admire from afar but never hope to have.

Until one day, at her father's birthday banquet, her beloved man stopped her, his face flushed and his gaze burning.

"Miss, could you help me?"

After a few drinks, Su Ruowan couldn't resist and took him to her bedroom.

Afterward, Xiao Xun took responsibility and married her. She carefully hid her feelings, afraid Xiao Xun might notice, because she knew he had someone he loved in his heart, too.

So when Xiao Xun's beloved returned, she packed her bags and chose to leave. As a thoughtful parting gift, she left Xiao Xun a bowl of lotus seed soup she had made herself.

But before she could even get out of the city, Xiao Xun blocked her path with a retinue of men.

Xiao Xun's expression darkened as he cornered her against the wall.

"Where are you going, my lady? Why not take your husband with you?"

"I... I'm just going for a walk. I'll be back soon."

"Oh? Then what's this?"

Xiao Xun held up a piece of paper. The words "divorce letter" were written in large characters on one side, but when he turned it over, the other side read: I really like Xiao Xun, but I can't have him. I hope I turn gay.

Su Ruowan: "!!!!"

She had accidentally torn out one of her old journal entries!

Xiao Xun had fallen for Su Ruowan before he entered public service. After becoming Grand Secretary, he had finally managed to marry her by letting things take their natural course.

But before he could win her heart, she ran off, leaving him a divorce letter and a bowl of soup that would make sure he never had children...

"The Immortal Venerable Keeps Getting Stood Up by His Devoted Female Supporting Character"

Synopsis:

Song Qingzhi transmigrated into a book, becoming a female supporting character in a male-oriented novel who admired the male lead and had a bad case of being a lovesick doormat.

She arrived just as the character was making a heartfelt confession to the male lead. Having always despised people who fawned over others, Song Qingzhi used her status as the male lead's senior martial sister to give him a stern lecture, leaving him so discouraged that he went into seclusion.

She thought she could spend the rest of her days coasting along, but the character's affliction had somehow taken hold of her, too. If she didn't fawn over someone for even a day, she felt miserable all over.

After holding back for several days, Song Qingzhi happened upon a voice transmission stone and came up with an idea. Every day, she poured her heart out to it:

"Babe, I dreamed you called me by the wrong name last night. No worries, I'll go change it right now."

"Babe, let's have the baby. I'll give it your surname."

"Babe, it's getting hotter and hotter. Without your butt, I don't know what I'd do."

Sure that she had no idea who was on the other end, Song Qingzhi let herself go completely. After that, she felt refreshed every day.

But one day, she blurted out, "Babe, let's meet up." The voice transmission stone, which had never answered before, clearly replied, "All right."

Song Qingzhi was terrified, but she still had to keep fawning, so every time they arranged to meet, she stood the other person up without exception.

Finally, after standing them up thirty times, Song Qingzhi was pouring on the flattery to the voice transmission stone when her seldom-seen martial uncle appeared in front of her. The stone in his hand was playing back her mortifying declarations.

Song Qingzhi: "..."

"Hello, Let's Get Married"

Synopsis:

Several major things have happened recently at Lingyun Sect.

First: their martial uncle, who had been in seclusion for a hundred years, has emerged.

It seems this martial uncle doesn't know how to use the sect's jade messaging device. He accidentally recorded his handsome face, with its slightly bewildered expression, into the device, causing a sensation throughout the sect. Plenty of disciples watched it over and over.

Second: Someone openly flirted with the martial uncle.

Third: The martial uncle took it seriously, showed up at their door, and abducted them to form a cultivation bond...

Lin Xiaoxiao is an unambitious demon who heard that Lingyun Sect is full of handsome men, so she eagerly sneaked in.

One day, she spotted a handsome man on the sect's jade messaging device who looked easy to fool. So, as usual, she blurted out, "Hello, let's get married," into the device.

Who knew he would take her seriously, abduct her, and force her to form a bond with him? Worse, he was none other than Immortal Venerable Jing Chen, the man the demons feared most.

Lin Xiaoxiao could only cling to her secret identity and figure out how to escape.

So when her demonic identity was exposed and the sect members condemned her, Lin Xiaoxiao ran straight into Jing Chen's arms.

"Boo-hoo, darling, I'm not a demon. They're framing me."

As she spoke, she didn't forget to release her demonic aura, hoping Jing Chen would run her through with his sword.

But Jing Chen, usually upright and incorruptible, who regarded demons as sworn enemies, shielded her in his arms and even hid the demonic aura roiling around her.

"You've got it wrong. My wife isn't a demon."

"..."

No matter how hard she tried to get herself killed after that, Jing Chen always managed to clean up her mess.

Lin Xiaoxiao: Just let me die, please.

In the end, Lin Xiaoxiao successfully escaped and returned to the demon realm. But before long, she was back to her old ways and abducted another handsome man.

Before she could admire his good looks, he pinned her in his arms and whispered softly against her ear:

"I've found you."
