Novel blurb:
#Possessive Love# #Marriage First, Love Later#
Obsessive, unhinged male lead x clear-eyed beauty
The first time Su Zhijin saw Lu Shiyan, she was swinging on a swing.
She had wanted to swing as high as she could to sneak a look at the handsome boy next door, but instead, she saw a pair of phoenix eyes watching her with cold indifference.
She fell from the swing and spent half a month recovering.
As luck would have it, the boy next door came to visit her, and she learned from him that the man who had caused her fall was Lu Shiyan, the current top martial arts graduate.
Su Zhijin had never thought she and the top martial arts graduate would have anything to do with each other. Since childhood, she had been certain she would marry the boy next door. They had grown up together and were as close as could be.
Then an imperial decree of marriage shattered her fantasy, and she was bestowed upon Lu Shiyan.
She thought he had been forced to marry her, too.
But after they wed, he often put everything he had learned to use. Su Zhijin could no longer bear it. Grabbing his shoulder, she scolded, "Have you no shame?"
"Who's the one who keeps wanting a divorce?"
Lu Shiyan leaned close to her ear and threatened, "Still want a divorce?"
-
Lu Shiyan had always been decisive and ruthless, with a capricious nature. But he had plotted for a long time to marry Su Zhijin. He hadn't first met her on the swing. She just didn't know it.
His obsession with her ran too deep. He was possessive and crazed, willing to do anything to have her. He wanted to keep her by his side in the name of being her husband.
But on their wedding night, he lifted her red veil only to have a dagger pressed to his throat in an instant. She looked at him calmly, her voice sharp as a blade. "Divorce me."
-
It was only after Su Zhijin had been at the Lu residence for many days that she learned Lu Shiyan had imprisoned the boy next door in the dungeon from the very night of their wedding.
She went to plead with him, her eyes brimming with tears, her beauty entirely natural.
Lu Shiyan teasingly lifted her chin with a finger and stroked it gently, smiling. "A Jin, don't beg me..."
He pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Win me over."
She's a velvet glove over an iron fist, and he's a mad dog. He's just right for her to tame.

Ascetic Buddhist monk x flirtatious beauty
In her previous life, Ye Mu, the daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's household, stood by Jiang Si as he rose from a destitute youth to a high-ranking official. Yet she had to watch as he conspired with her close friend and divorced her on the grounds that she was "jealous."
She became the wife who had stood by him through hardship, only to be cast aside.
That wasn't enough for him. He also framed her brother, leaving him with both legs crippled, bedridden for half his life, and unable to meet a good end.
Reborn, Ye Mu looked down at the impoverished young man kneeling at her feet, as lowly as a blade of grass. She no longer lingered out of pity.
"Save me, and I'll rise to great heights and repay you for saving my life."
Ye Mu shook off his hand and said coldly, "I believe you will soar to success and wield power over all. But what does any of that have to do with me?"
I wish you great success and a bright future, without me in it.
-
In this life, Ye Mu lived as she pleased. Life was all about enjoying yourself.
If she liked someone, she flirted. If she didn't, she walked away. She lived freely.
One day, she went to a temple with her friends to burn incense. Everyone else prayed for love, but she asked for nothing.
They asked in confusion, "Does that mean you never plan to marry?"
Ye Mu pointed to the Buddhist monk chanting sutras in the hall and smiled mischievously, without a care in the world. "Of course I'll marry. I hear Buddhist monks are the purest flowers in the world. If he marries me, I'll marry him."
The young monk, untouched by worldly grime or common desires, raised his eyes. His gaze was serene as he saw her smiling face and delicate hands.
The prayer beads in his hand paused for a few moments. Then he closed his eyes.

The heroine seems to have a serious illness, and she gets stabbed out of nowhere
What on earth is the heroine thinking? What is there about her family that is sorry for Liu? His mother was sick. He needed money, but he didn't dare to borrow it directly from the heroine's family. He even took a detour to find the heroine's brother who was far away in the border. Even if the heroine's family didn't help, it was fine. Now that he had given the money, he also helped the second boy get a wife. Where could he be sorry for? Didn't the second male lead have no reaction? Is it worth offending the male lead to save him now?
Looks good! Does the second male actor regret it? Belated affection is cheaper than a dog 💪
How can I put it this way? I think the conversation between the heroine and Liu is a bit like a virgin. Why do you think the Su family feels sorry for Liu and asks her father to apologize? Liu Mingming gave up on her, didn't she? She is really kind. Apart from the male protagonist's robbery, Liu Zhongyi's mother also looked down upon the female protagonist. Liu didn't have the ability to fight for it, he was obviously a coward, and he also had a cousin. Even if there was no male protagonist, if it were someone else, Liu would still give up the female protagonist. After all, he seems to be judging the situation, and his mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
When you are popular to a certain extent, you will laugh. The heroine thinks too much, and the hero speaks but does not speak clearly. The heroine starts to think divergently, and the two of them continue to misunderstand each other.
I really hate that the two of them didn't open their mouths. The more they looked at each other, the angrier they became [angry] [angry]
Do you rely on misunderstandings to develop relationships all day long? And don't you think it's a bit too intimate for a middle brother to call his younger siblings by their nicknames? It would be strange if the male protagonist didn't misunderstand
I don't understand, but I was stabbed for no reason, and the heroine didn't feel any guilt at all, and the hero didn't feel sad at all when he was stabbed? Sharp
The heroine and the male lead have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. So far, the male lead has occupied most of her life. Even if the male lead is cowardly when it comes to marriage, the heroine will not be so cruel. She really doesn't care about him, she is too soft-hearted.
I have a bit of hatred for the heroine. He abandoned you before and humiliated you. You saved him and believed him. Tell him what is in your heart. Look at your husband. He is so angry. Hahahaha.
