"The Second Male Lead's Redemption, Leaving No Scraps Behind"
In her previous life, Xia Bingran was dazzled by a man's looks and married a faithless prince, only to see her family destroyed and her life ruined.
After being reborn, she resolutely decided to give up handsome men and focus on keeping her family safe!
But while she was trying to swear off good looks, a handsome fiance suddenly appeared.
To make him give up, she laid out her requirements for a future husband:
First: He must be powerful and influential, able to keep her family safe for life.
Second: He must be plain-looking, and never fool around with other women.
Her fiance not only refused to give up, but steadily climbed his way to the position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
A faint smile from him was enough to set her heart pounding.
"Ran'er, am I worthy of you now?"
To keep herself from falling for his looks, she resisted. "Still no. You're too handsome."
After a moment's silence, her fiance picked up a dagger and slashed his own handsome face.
"If Ran'er doesn't like it, what use do I have for this face?"
"Wait!" Xia Bingran's heart clenched. What more could a woman ask for than a husband like this? She was done swearing off handsome men!
"I like you! I like you!"
People only learn to cherish what they have after they lose it. Baili Yichen was no exception.
He had killed his wife for the woman he loved, his white moonlight, only to discover that she had her own scheme and planned to poison him.
As he lay dying, he vaguely remembered that summer when he had released countless river lanterns to cheer up his wife. Their soft candlelight had reflected on her delighted face, making her look so lovely.
After being reborn, he believed his good looks would make his wife fall in love with him again.
But in this life, his wife seemed to dislike him. Hah, she was just playing hard to get again.
Note:
1. The heroine is a sweet, silly beauty and a complete looks enthusiast.
2. Three people are reborn. The leads are reborn first, and the second male lead is reborn a little later. The second male lead gets a redemption arc that leaves not even scraps behind.
3. This is a fictional setting, so don't overthink the historical details.
Coming soon 1: After Accidentally Dating the Darkened Male Lead
Zhong Wanying transmigrated into a book and secretly started dating someone before her System mission began.
But after receiving the mission script, she regretted it bitterly. Her boyfriend was the male lead of an angsty romance, the future tyrant.
And he was a dangerous man who had already eliminated seven Hosts?!
Her mission was to redeem the male lead.
Help! Is it too late to quit?
System: [Host, if you run away at the last minute, you won't get the chance to be reborn~]
Zhong Wanying: "You win. Since I'm going to die either way, I might as well give it a try."
As expected of an angsty romance, the male lead lost his memory just after they got married. How was she supposed to handle that?
He couldn't remember her, and he still disliked her every day. She might as well dump him.
She had barely stepped out of the residence when the male lead glared at her. "Where does the Princess Consort think she's going?"
"T-to buy some roasted chestnuts."
"No need. I've already had someone buy the chestnut stall and set it up in your courtyard."
"Actually, I also want to go to the Fengyue Pavilion and listen to an opera..."
Lu Shuyan frowned. "Leaving the residence without permission. One month under house arrest."
Help! She only wanted to go out for a bit.
P.S.:
The System doesn't do much. It's just needed for the plot.
Coming soon 2: The Empress Has a White-Moonlight Pup Too
Everyone in the palace knew the emperor disliked the empress. They had been married for three years but treated each other as coldly as ice, and he had handed the management of the harem to the cat consort.
Yet the empress was considerate and attentive to the emperor in every way. Everyone thought she loved him dearly, and even the emperor thought so.
But one day, the emperor discovered that she treated her pets the same way. In particular, the portrait of a big yellow dog at the palace gate made him feel distinctly uncomfortable.
Because that big yellow dog looked a little like him!
Blurb 2
Mu Qing was a child abandoned by her father. If her family had not wanted to form a marriage alliance with the emperor, she might never have been remembered at all, and she would never have been separated from her light.
It was all right. She had the little yellow dog he had given her.
But time took the little yellow dog away. Then she was forced to marry a prince, and when she lifted her veil, she found that her groom looked so much like her little yellow dog.
Wonderful. Her little yellow dog would wait with her for her light to return.
Note:
1. The male lead isn't the emperor. It's probably a childhood-sweethearts story about two people saving each other.
Theme: Self-awareness is a virtue.
