Embrace the Gleaming Light

As a pampered noblewoman of the Cui clan of Boling, Cui Yun Zhao never expected Huo Tan to agree so readily when she asked for a divorce.

Of course, the two of them had only married because of her uncle's selfish desires.

A marriage like that wasn't worth keeping. So what if he was talented, or the young general everyone in Boling admired?

In the end, he was a boor from a military family, not only short on sweet words but also clueless about how to treat a woman tenderly.

Just thinking about it exhausted Cui Yun Zhao. Better to divorce sooner rather than later.

After their divorce, Huo Tan soared ever higher, becoming an admired young emperor, while Cui Yun Zhao became the laughingstock of all Bianjing.

She left Bianjing and lived alone at a country estate, thinking she would spend the rest of her life in peace. But the most deadly poison under Heaven, the Crane's Crown, took her life before its time.

As she died in agony, she heard a voice murmur, "That man really is heartless."

Cui Yun Zhao thought her life had been a complete joke. If she could live it over, she would make sure to enjoy every moment.

When she opened her eyes again, Cui Yun Zhao had truly returned to her wedding night with Huo Tan.

Looking at the man's firm, lean body, she narrowed her foxlike eyes and pushed him onto the bed curtains.

Since this man was destined for success, she would make him a weapon in her hands.

She would uncover everything that had happened in her previous life, find out who had killed her, and finally live life to the fullest!

On their wedding night, the beauty's skin was fair as snow, her lips red as flowers, and her sweet scent filled Huo Tan's nose.

She stood over him, looking down.

"This time, you're in my hands."

The young general was peerlessly handsome. He gazed deeply at the beautiful woman, his eyes fixed on her alone.

"Let's see who's in whose hands."

A few things to know:

#Clever, stunning foxlike heroine x thoughtful, handsome, ambitious hero

One-on-one, both leads are each other's first love. Young couple, married first and falling in love later. A very sweet everyday farming story, with a growth arc for the heroine. A touch of an ensemble cast. Inspired by the customs of the Tang and Song dynasties, in a completely fictional setting.

Golden Jade and Glorious Beauty

Everyone said Ruan Linlang was lucky, and she thought so too.

After a mix-up in which she was given to the wrong family, she went from a helpless little beggar to the eldest daughter of the richest Ruan family in Jinling.

From then on, she had fine clothes and good food, as well as a perfect husband chosen for her when she was born.

The Mu family of Jinling had lived in luxury for generations. Their eldest son, Mu Youzhi, had the grace of a crane and the bearing of a pine. One look was all it took for Ruan Linlang to fall for him.

But then a case involving a forged imperial edict brought the Ruan family to ruin in an instant. They were convicted and their home was confiscated.

On a rainy day, Ruan Linlang knelt before Mu Youzhi, who had come to confiscate the family's property by imperial order, and begged him to find a doctor for her gravely ill father.

Mu Youzhi's voice was cold: "Miss Ruan, the Mu family has already broken off the engagement. Our families have nothing to do with each other anymore."

When Ruan Linlang awoke from a high fever, she looked at the old and young gathered around her and said with determination, "Mother, Grandmother, our great-grandfather went from being a beggar to becoming the richest man. We can do it too."

Months later, when Mu Youzhi saw Ruan Linlang again, she was already a famous cloth-scrap seller in the West Market.

Looking at the spirited young woman, he recalled the past and asked confidently, "Miss Ruan, if you're willing to be a good wife and raise children, our old engagement can still stand."

Ruan Linlang didn't even look at him. She pointed off to the side. "Of course it can't."

With a smile in her eyes, she said, "I've found myself an obedient husband. He's more useful than you."

The tall young man beside her, carrying more than a dozen bolts of cloth, shot Mu Youzhi a cold glance and stacked a few more bolts on his shoulder.

Because of a case involving a forged imperial edict, the dashing young General Pei of Bianjing was betrayed by his comrades, his reputation ruined, and his body gravely injured. When he awoke, all he saw was a smiling little girl.

She ordered him around without a hint of politeness. "I saved your life, so you have to work for me until you've paid off the cost of your medicine."

The busy life in Jinling healed his wounds. When the day came that he had paid off his medical expenses, she told him straight out to leave.

The young general's eyes reddened. He gritted his teeth and held her fast in his arms. "You still haven't paid me back what you owe."
