The Grand Princess Wants Me to Rebel

[Please add my upcoming novels, The Golden House of Joy and Never Marry Again!] ▼Blurb: /A slightly unhinged princess x a dignified, sunny young marquis/ Yu Dengling discovers that she's a minor character in a book, and that the Great Yan dynasty she lives in is destined to be destroyed by a chosen one named Bo Shuoxue. To make that day arrive sooner, Yu Dengling sets about courting death with great dedication. She summons Bo Shuoxue to the palace, humiliates and threatens him, and spends every day hoping his hatred will boil over so he can blow up the Great Yan dynasty like a firework. Then she can leave this world in peace, knowing she has nothing to worry about. In the first month, Yu Dengling makes Bo Shuoxue kneel and put on her shoes for her. Furious, he storms out of the palace and intends to throw himself into a lake. Six months later, Yu Dengling makes Bo Shuoxue feed her by hand. He presses his lips together, then forcefully sets a bowl of chicken soup on the table. A year later, Yu Dengling asks Bo Shuoxue to play a little tune for her amusement. He gives her an exasperated look, slips his arms beneath her knees and around her back, and lifts her up in one smooth motion. “It's freezing out here. Why listen to music in the snow? Let's go inside.” At long last, the day Bo Shuoxue destroys Great Yan and becomes emperor finally arrives. But Yu Dengling is dressed in a queen's ceremonial robes, sitting on the new emperor's lap as he presses her against his neck and chatters on about the rules she's to follow from the first day of the new calendar: no staying up late, no cold food, and no walking barefoot. Yu Dengling: This is so annoying. But not that annoying. Why does it suddenly feel like maybe life isn't so pointless after all? - “The love she receives is this: she shows him every flaw and bad habit she has, yet in his eyes they all become her virtues and her grievances. He loves her even when she is nothing but dust. Every day by his side, she grows into someone better. That is what gives her the drive and confidence to keep living.” A flawed woman and the most effective love. ▼Upcoming novel The Golden House of Joy, a marriage-first, love-later everyday romance~ /Marriage first, love later/ A straightforward, hot-tempered Aries princess x a scheming, lofty consort/ Princess Yin has few interests, but she has a particular fondness for artists who are obscure and refined, whose work is too lofty for the common crowd. On a spring garden outing, she takes one look at top scholar Pei Qingwen, a man of astonishing talent and snowy elegance, and her heart skips a beat. She immediately summons him to become her consort. More than half a year after their wedding, however, the princess and her consort sit across from each other in silence every day. Their relationship is nothing like the devoted, lively romance in the storybooks. Instead, he busies himself painting pictures of someone who resembles his childhood sweetheart, as if he were forced to give himself to the princess and imprisoned in her residence, endlessly pining for the one he loves. The princess puts up with him for half a year, then finally loses her temper. “What do I need a block of wood for? I want to return him!” So she files a formal petition and sends her consort back where he came from. After they've been apart for another six months, the princess leisurely looks for a new husband, while poems from Pei, now a vice minister, rain down on her residence. On the Ghost Festival, Vice Minister Pei waits at the princess's gate, looking lonely and disheveled, and slowly complains to her. “Jiaojiao, I used to be a forthright official whose every word carried immense weight. Now I've studied hard and learned to write graceful poetry and stories, and I can even perform in an opera by myself.” “No one else can be as talented and versatile as I am. If you're looking for a new husband, why not marry me again...” ▼Upcoming novel Never Marry Again, a double rebirth story Shen Yaoling and Ning Dan have been married for forty years, and are old enough to have grandchildren gathered around them, yet people still bring up the past in front of her. They talk about how desperate Shen Yaoling had been to get married, how she clung so fiercely to Ning Dan that he had no choice but to give up the woman he loved and marry her. Shen Yaoling doesn't get upset when she hears this. She even laughs and sighs, “We were young and impetuous back then. We thought the person we loved was worth more than a fortune, and no matter how many times we ran into a wall, we wouldn't give up. Looking back now, I really don't know if it was worth it.” No one in the room believes her. Then she falls asleep and wakes up truly reborn, back at sixteen or seventeen, on the eve of the marriage negotiations with the Ning family. In her hand is still the calling card she was going to send them. Shen Yaoling stares blankly for a long time, then smiles calmly and tears the card to pieces. - After their wedding, every day grows sweeter and happier for Prince Ning. They had a few rough patches and lingering hurts when they were young, but she's the one who ends up by his side for life. Sharing meals with her every day and watching the sun set over the tranquil lake hand in hand is more than enough. But when he wakes up one morning, everything has changed. Ning Dan has become the seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy he used to be. On a windy night beneath a bright moon, he's riding on a wall on his way to meet his “beloved,” when he sees his wife as she was in her youth through the window of the neighboring courtyard. Their eyes meet, and Ning Dan is caught in the act. Ning Dan stiffens, and years of habit make him hurry to explain and apologize. But the next moment, Shen Yaoling merely smiles at him, then gently closes the window as if not wanting to intrude. - Theme: Learn to love life
