After Transmigrating, I Mistook My Husband

Qin Luowei is born into a life of privilege. Her family is powerful, she is beautiful and clever, and her fiance is the Crown Prince.

She could have lain flat and enjoyed life, but a rebellion suddenly breaks out on the border, and the Crown Prince leaves with the army. When he returns gravely wounded, his personality has changed completely. In public, he is as pure and noble as the breeze and moonlight, full of righteousness. In private, he coils around her like a venomous snake.

The occasional venomous look in his eyes always reminds her of someone else: the Prince of Chu, the Crown Prince's younger brother, who died on the battlefield during the rebellion.

Night after night, the Prince of Chu's ghost enters her dreams and pours out the passionate love he could never express while alive.

"Sister-in-law, which of us brothers do you love?" Inside the Crown Prince's residence, the scented bed curtains hang soft and fragrant. A man whispers against her ear, and she cannot tell whether it is reality or an illusion.

On their wedding day, with phoenix coronets, red candles, and embroidered silk all around them, the man lifts her veil. Qin Luowei pales when she sees the red mole beneath his phoenix-shaped eyes.

"You deceived the sovereign, murdered your brother, and committed every kind of evil. I won't let you take the throne." She plunges a poisoned golden hairpin into his heart.

His bewitching, captivating eyes brim with tears of blood. He cups her face and gives her a reverent kiss. "The throne isn't what I want. I want you, my sister-in-law."

Content warnings:

1. Old-school, over-the-top melodrama.

2. The male lead is wicked through and through.

Coming soon: My Ex-Husband Keeps Telling Everyone I'm Dead After Our Divorce

Blurb One

Four years after her divorce, Jiang Xia returns to the capital. On her first night in the old family home, a servant crawls to her feet, weeping.

"Young Lady, you have finally come back to visit us from beyond the grave!"

When she reunites with her long-lost best friend, the other woman quietly closes her eyes.

"Xiao Xia, rest in peace. I promise I'll avenge you."

Her old enemies drop to their knees in apology when they see her.

"I didn't kill you. Don't come after me for revenge."

Jiang Xia explodes. "Who told you I was dead?!"

Everyone: "Zhuang Ziyu."

Zhuang Ziyu, her execrable ex-husband, once the person she adored and now a bitter disappointment. She had graciously spared him from her revenge, and now he was spreading rumors about her?

Jiang Xia makes a dazzling appearance at a banquet and walks up to Zhuang Ziyu in front of everyone with a radiant smile. "I hear you've been telling people I'm dead?"

Zhuang Ziyu's eyes turn red. He clings to her leg, crying bitterly with a lovestruck look on his face. "My wife, you've come back from the dead."

Blurb Two

Jiang Xia and Zhuang Ziyu are a bickering couple who don't love each other. She abused her power to force him to marry her, and he reluctantly took her as his wife.

She is domineering and jealous. He is sharp-tongued and vindictive.

Later, a new emperor ascends the throne. The entire Jiang family is implicated by the deposed Crown Prince and slaughtered. Zhuang Ziyu is the one who leads the massacre.

When Jiang Xia arrives, no one in the family is left alive. Zhuang Ziyu, covered in blood, holds her captive in his arms.

"Jiangjiang, don't be afraid. You're my wife, so you won't be implicated."

Jiang Xia has no desire to be his wife. She writes him a divorce letter and cuts ties with him. From then on, she becomes a nun who has renounced the world, while he becomes a great hero at the new emperor's side.

When Zhuang Ziyu meets Jiang Xia again, he realizes that he still feels intense love and hatred for the woman who abandoned him.

He's already let her go once. Since she's come back of her own accord, he might as well use the same trick again and keep her by his side.

Coming soon: The Villainess Fell for the Big Bad After Flirting with Him

Xiao Jiangyan transmigrates into a novel with a female lead and becomes a wicked illegitimate daughter. Her father doesn't love her, her mother doesn't care for her, and everyone bullies her. After an accident, she makes a pact with a ghost in the mansion.

Twelve nights in exchange for a life of peace and safety.

The vengeful ghost becomes a shadow in her darkness and protects her, just as promised.

The maid who tried to kill her is found dead in the wilderness.

The cousin who bullied her has both eyes gouged out.

The madam who tried to sell her falls gravely ill.

Later, she defies fate and marries into the royal household, becoming a princess consort. On her wedding day, Cheng Jie, the novel's villain, arrives uninvited, dressed in red and dazzlingly talented.

The entire royal household is slaughtered. Amid the flames, he scoops Xiao Jiangyan up in his arms and carries her into the bridal chamber.

Outside the door, blood flows like a river. Inside, they cling to each other in a fever of passion.

She bites his shoulder and curses him furiously. "Cheng Jie! After what you've done to me, we'll never be anything but enemies!"

Cheng Jie's mouth twists into a savage grin, but his eyes are full of tenderness.

"You got what you wanted. Now it's my turn."

From the male lead's perspective

Cheng Jie is a notorious troublemaker. As the adopted son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, he is both feared and looked down upon by everyone.

Only that little illegitimate daughter of the Duke's household treats him differently.

He still remembers that moonless night of murder when he snuck to the river to dispose of a body. The woman handed him an ax and smiled seductively.

"Well, well! The young marquis is killing people himself? Want me to help you dismember the body?"

Knowing how badly she was treated and how hard it was for her to survive in the Duke's household, he took the form of a ghost and struck a bargain with her.

Those absurd twelve nights were hazy and dreamlike, sinking deep into his soul. An endless tenderness stirred in his heart. He wanted to win everything she desired.

But if she got everything she wanted and then abandoned him, he would take it all back.

He followed her into the hell of slaughter. How could he watch her leave alone?
