Story Blurb
On the Shangsi Festival, Shen Yingshi rescued a young man from drowning.
He was breathtakingly handsome, and Yingshi secretly fell for him.
Even knowing he wanted to marry her to borrow the Shen family's influence and save the Marquis of Xiangyang's household, which had backed the wrong side, she still agreed.
With the alliance settled, the Marquis's household, which had been living in constant fear, finally relaxed. But on the wedding day, the heir eloped with his first love!
With the marriage on the verge of turning into a feud, they had no choice but to make Xu Yan, the second son, impersonate the heir and marry the bride.
Xu Yan and the heir were twins, born under an ill-starred fate. Their own family had rejected them from birth, and they had suffered endless contempt and cold treatment. He was the shameful "stain" the household kept hidden from view.
After someone plotted against him and he fell into a lake, he thought he would die quietly. But someone dragged him out of the cold, dark water with all her strength.
He never imagined that this only ray of light would be the sister-in-law he had married with his own hands.
Beneath the flower-pattering rain, Shen Yingshi futilely pressed down on his hand. "Are you insane? This is wrong."
His answer was a nearly suffocating kiss. "I tried to hold back. It didn't work."
Even if loving you is wrong, even if it means destroying my future and plunging into eternal ruin, I will love you fiercely until death.

Upcoming 1: My Childhood Friend Is No Villain
Xiaoman grew up wild in the countryside until she was sixteen, when she learned she was the third daughter of the Scholar's residence, who had been lost as a child.
The Zhang family felt guilty and was determined to find her a respectable match.
But she hadn't been raised with the care given to the girls in the household, and her flighty, "unseemly" nature meant that she was repeatedly rejected by prominent families.
Xiaoman didn't care. "I have a handsome, refined childhood friend. When the plum blossoms ripen, he'll come marry me."
How could a place so remote that even birds wouldn't crap there have someone like that?
The Zhang family assumed she was bragging. No one believed her.
One day, Xiaoman accompanied her family to the Pingyang Marquis's spring banquet. They called it a banquet, but it was really a matchmaking session.
Her prospective match took a liking to the lively, cheerful Xiaoman and happily agreed.
Just as the atmosphere grew lively, Chen Ling'an arrived with soldiers, intending to invite the prospective match for tea.
He was the notorious Jinyiwei torture fiend and house-raiding thug, someone everyone shunned wherever he went.
Naturally, everyone was furious and had nothing good to say about him.
Xiaoman suddenly rushed forward and examined Chen Ling'an's face from every angle, overjoyed.
Then she planted her hands on her hips and shouted angrily:
"My childhood friend is no villain! He's the best, kindest person in the whole world!"
"A... kind person? Chen Ling'an???"
The prospective match looked thoughtful, her stepmother was horrified, and the onlookers erupted in an uproar.
They didn't know that when Xiaoman was seven, she had met the eleven-year-old Chen Ling'an.
Her adoptive parents had just died. Standing outside the door, she could hear her relatives arguing and passing her around.
As she trembled with anxiety, Chen Ling'an handed her a candied plum. "Don't be afraid. Everything will be all right."
That blazing summer warmed the next ten years of her life.
-
Chen Ling'an knew he was no good person.
His family had been destroyed when he was young, and he had tasted all the bitterness life had to offer. All he wanted was to see his enemies fall one by one. He cared about nothing else.
He had taken such good care of Xiaoman only to impress the reclusive sage, all for a recommendation to the Prince of Yan's residence.
If he kept playing the role of her sweet childhood friend now, it was only because he had another motive.
But Chen Ling'an never expected that later on, even hearing Xiaoman softly call his name would make his heart tremble.
In the end, he willingly fell into the trap he had dug himself, and refused to climb back out.
Upcoming 2: Exiled in Place of a Minister's Daughter
The Marquis of Yongchang is suspected of treason. The adult men are sentenced to execution, while the women are sent to the northern frontier to serve as camp prostitutes.
This disaster had nothing to do with the maid Ruyue. Her fiance had written to say he had saved enough money to buy her freedom and would soon marry her.
Then she drank the sweet soup her mother had brought her herself.
"Second Miss has done our family a great kindness. Take her place, and be good. I'll surely save you later."
That was the last thing Ruyue heard before she passed out. When she woke, she was already on the road to exile.
The famous Second Miss Lan of the capital was about to become a filthy, wanton plaything for anyone to use and abuse.
In despair, Ruyue took a desperate gamble and entered the Prince of Liao's tent.
He lowered his eyes carelessly. "If I help you, what can you give me?"
Ruyue: "A legitimate reason to purge the court in Your Highness's name."
He chuckled. "Then let me see what you can do, and whether you're worthy of working with me."
-
With help from a powerful patron on the road to exile, Second Miss Lan escaped her criminal status and entered the Prince of Liao's residence as a servant.
In just five years, she rose from the lowliest laundry maid to the head servant of the inner courtyard, then to the most powerful person in the prince's residence.
She drove the peach-blossom-beautiful, frost-cold Prince of Liao nearly mad with desire. He even wanted to make her his princess consort and clear the Lan family's name.
Anyone who heard the story would have to sigh with envy: What a lucky woman.
Once life got easier, people wanting to steal the fruits of her labor showed up too. Second Miss arrived at the prince's gates with a token in hand.
Ruyue smiled quietly. Did they really think she was just lucky? She had walked this entire path on thin ice, planning carefully and plotting every step. One wrong move, and her bones would have lain cold.
Since she had suffered in place of the young lady, she deserved to enjoy the glory and honor that came afterward.
P.S. Court intrigue, one-on-one romance, and an imperfect heroine.

Theme: If fate's cruel tricks cannot be avoided, then work to change how things end
So angry! The heroine's mother is really not worth it! Myocardial infarction. The ending is that the heartless man and the widow reunite and the family is harmonious, except for the heroine's mother who dies early.
The heroine's stepmother was not punished at all. This father was such a loser and his daughter was bullied and didn't deal with it... In the end, they were the only ones who lived in harmony.
Huang has the nerve to say that others have a good life, but she is the one with the good life. Even if you do this, you can still be her Mrs. Shen.
This Shen Rong's actions inexplicably give people a feeling of emptiness. Although his mother is not a kind-hearted person, she has nothing to say to him. But at first he obviously paid for the dowry because he liked the heroine, on the pretext that he was helping his mother to make up for her troubles. The purpose here is to have the opportunity to marry the heroine and recognize his ancestors. The reason is that the Shen family has too many monks and too little food. He gives in so that the heroine's father can compensate his mother. The idea is somewhat false.
Moreover, many people here think that they can marry the heroine, but many people think that the heroine has divorced and can only marry low. In their bones, they may even feel that they are here to redeem the heroine.

So Shen Rong is not even worthy of being the second male lead, while Cousin Huo is more like the second male lead. None of the Huang family is likable
What does this saying mean that knowledge is good, so it is not good? Doesn't it mean that he subconsciously feels that marrying the heroine will affect his future, so the other party will give up? It feels like Shen Rong is as selfish as his mother at heart. There is nothing to be pitiful about. He followed his mother into the Shen family, and the hostess was extremely kind to him. Now, if you say you want to return to the clan, just return to the clan. To be honest, it is a very unkind approach. Isn't this the same as letting others raise you and then turning around and saying that you don't want to support others in their old age?
Xiao Xu, you are about to be stolen from the tower! ! ! Come back quickly! ! !
I'm a little touched, but I feel like I'm taking advantage of someone else's misfortune.
