The day Feng Chongyan, the eldest son of the Feng family, arrived at the Shen household, Shen Mingsu hid behind a screen and saw him kneeling before her father. In his plain green robes and simple sash, he was like a proud chrysanthemum standing tall in the bitter winter cold.
Four years later, after her parents passed away, she carried their marriage contract and traveled over mountains and rivers to find the Feng family.
When she saw Feng Chongyan again, he had become the highest-ranking official in the land, a powerful chancellor. In his splendid court robes, he cut an impressive figure, yet walked past her with indifference.
After a year of living under someone else's roof and enduring their cold stares, just as she had when she first arrived, Shen Mingsu finally understood that a forced melon was never sweet. She couldn't keep using her past kindness to claim something in return.
*
When Feng Chongyan was down on his luck, the Shen family had come to his aid and saved his life. Repaying that debt with a marriage was only right.
He had no complaints about it.
It helped that the young lady of the Shen family was sweet-tempered and never caused him any trouble. That is, until the day they discussed the wedding date. She rose from beside him and said, "Marriage is a matter for one's parents to decide. Since my father has passed away, the arrangement no longer stands."
He thought she had gone mad.
Only later did he realize that he was the one who had gone mad.
Plot summary:
The Shen family was massacred, and Shen Mingsu came to take revenge, but the road to vengeance was far from smooth.
First, she was coldly treated by the man she loved and was engaged to.
Then, the Imperial Preceptor schemed against her at every turn.
Even the younger sister who had once been closest to her refused to acknowledge her.
Just when she was finally about to get revenge, she discovered that her enemy was her own flesh and blood, and that the adoptive father who loved her most had treated her as a tool for revenge.
Forget it. She couldn't win, so she accepted her tragic ending.
Five years later, she was living a leisurely life, occasionally hearing some news at a teahouse.
"I heard that the day the Grand Princess died, Chancellor Feng collapsed to the ground and didn't wake up for days. Even now, he sleeps holding the Grand Princess's memorial tablet..."
"The Imperial Preceptor's even crazier. He refuses to believe she's dead and has practically turned the whole Great Ye upside down looking for her."
"The new emperor didn't have a single relative by his side on the day he ascended the throne..."
Shen Mingsu smiled and let it pass. A commoner beside her, moved to tears by the story, tugged at her sleeve. "Miss, our Grand Princess must still be alive, right?"
#Every one of them will pay for what they did, not a single one will escape.
#There are two male supporting characters with substantial roles. The male lead might just be the official pairing.
Next novel: The Marquis's Couple Reborn
When Bai Mingji was sixteen, the Fu family sent a matchmaker to propose on behalf of their heir, Fu Yunheng. They were both from military families, a good match in terms of status. Her parents readily agreed, and she was pleased too.
At seventeen, Bai Mingji married into the Jiang family. Just after her veil was lifted on their wedding night, an urgent message arrived from the border. Fu Yunheng, a young general, had been ordered to war.
A year later, news of his death arrived.
Of the husband from her previous life, whom she'd met only once before he died horribly at the border, Bai Mingji's assessment was: He had nothing but brawn, and not much brains to go with it.
Reborn, she decided to help him for the sake of their brief marriage and get rid of the friend who had framed him.
As for the aunt who had killed her entire family, she wasn't in a hurry. She would slowly make her suffer. She laid out her plans and waited and waited, only to hear that her aunt had fallen off a cliff and her body was never found.
Bai Mingji's eyes blazed. "Which bastard did that?!"
Fu Yunheng had gone to war at sixteen. His spear had tasted blood countless times, and at twenty, he married Bai Mingji, the famous young lady of the capital. His life was perfect, and he had never thought he would die young.
Wrongfully killed and unwilling to accept his fate, his soul drifted back to the estate, where he saw his bride poisoned to death with his own eyes.
Reborn, he decided to fulfill his duty as a husband first and deal with her inhuman aunt for her.
As for his own revenge, he would take his time, uncover the truth, and expose the "close friend" who had betrayed him. He planned everything out, but before he could act, that man died first.
Fu Yunheng saw stars. "Who killed him?"
After learning the truth, the two sat facing one another in silence. After each finished cursing the other under their breath, they both lost their fighting spirit.
What was the point of being reborn?
Since they had both returned, they couldn't just let things play out the same way. Fu Yunheng spoke first. "How about we have an heir first?"
Bai Mingji agreed.
Just as Fu Yunheng had thrown himself into romance and thought he'd finally figured it all out, Bai Mingji's stepmother, who had supposedly fallen off a cliff, returned to the Bai family. The "friend" who had betrayed him in his previous life also miraculously came back to life.
Fu Yunheng: "..." Are you messing with me?

I had always read modern words before, but seldom read ancient words. This book really pushed me into the pit of ancient words. The writing style is really great, the characters are all charming, and each character has his or her own unique perspective and feelings. The narrative ability is very good. It feels like every character and scene is in front of you, and it feels like you are there.
Not enough! Isn't it sweet enough at the end? Write more about your post-marriage life, everyone on the big cover wants to read it!
The plot and writing are good. I like the story of Feng Er and Jiang Si. I am looking forward to the extra story about Ling Mochen.
