In her eyes, the original heroine had lost her heart and loved the wrong man, willingly allowing herself to be used. She watched her elder brother get framed and her father get threatened, and let the entire Song family be destroyed, all while enduring everything for love. In the end, she was tricked and died miserably of illness in an abandoned residence. After transmigrating into the book, Song Shuran spat in disgust. She resolved to use what she knew of the plot to avoid the original male lead and the power struggles, and quietly lie flat as the cherished young lady of the Song family. But she never expected her cousin, who had repeatedly schemed against her in the original story, to be reborn with memories of her past life and arrive ahead of schedule. The plot changed drastically from the start. She had thought she was holding a script that let her predict the future, but it had been almost completely rewritten. After much deliberation, Song Shuran set her sights on Sheng Qi, the sinister supporting male character who was supposed to be ambushed by the original male lead, left severely injured, and forced to withdraw from the power struggle. To save Sheng Qi and her elder brother, she went to the Imperial Guard Office and personally delivered a peace sachet she had embroidered terribly. To keep Sheng Qi from getting involved with a scheming female musician, she had a sudden inspiration and staged a scene in which Sheng Qi had seduced her and then abandoned her. From then on, news that the Seventh Prince had toyed with the affections of the daughter of the Grand General Who Guards the Nation spread like wildfire. Sheng Qi: "Song Shuran, what exactly are you trying to do?" Song Shuran: "My reputation is ruined. You have to marry me!" She acted unreasonable and pestered him relentlessly, and in the end Sheng Qi brought her to the Seventh Prince's residence in a grand bridal sedan. After the wedding, however, she examined herself every day: Don't fall in love. Don't grow attached. Don't owe him anything. As long as she worked with Sheng Qi to bring down the original male lead, she would ask for a divorce and leave with her head held high, without holding him back. * Sheng Qi was proud and aloof, and had never cared about romance. Yet one little sachet was enough to make his heart stir for the first time. Watching Song Shuran deliberately approach and flirt with him again and again, he kept a stern face and pretended to be annoyed. He had thought that his father's marriage decree had brought him a beautiful bride, only to discover that her feelings for him were fake. The whole capital was saying that he had seduced and abandoned her, only for him to discover that he was actually the one who had been seduced and abandoned. When she avoided his eyes and asked for a divorce, he pressed her into the bed curtains. Their fingers interlocked tightly, his touch carrying a hint of punishment. "Song Shuran, you were the one who insisted that I was the only man for you. You'd better remember that for the rest of your life." [Reader's Guide] 1.

Upcoming Novel 1: The Xuanyang Coroner In the third year of Qingchen, a calamity struck the Court of Judicial Review. From the Court Minister down to the clerks, everyone died suddenly overnight. Jiang Wu, the only daughter of Jiang Yanfeng, the Court Minister, was sent away from the capital in the middle of the night. But they were ambushed along the way. Her carriage plunged down a hillside, and her chances of survival were slim. That was when Jiang Wu transmigrated. She remembered only that the bus she was riding in had collided head-on with a car driving the wrong way. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the body of the five-year-old original owner. She was rescued and given the name Xuanyang. Using the forensic knowledge she had learned before transmigrating, she became a coroner and began searching for a way back to the modern world. She searched for ten years. Just as she was about to give up, she suddenly dreamed that disaster had struck the Court of Judicial Review again. She had thought it was only the original owner's childhood memories playing tricks on her, but unexpectedly, the dream came true. The imposing judicial office had become an ominous place, and the people of the entire capital, Qingjing, were gripped by fear. Xuanyang had a feeling that the matter might be connected to her father's death ten years earlier, and might even hold a clue to returning to the modern world. So she resolutely set off for the capital. At an inn along the way, she stumbled upon a bizarre case involving a cat demon seeking revenge. Green flames seemed to rise from the victim's body, a terrifying and uncanny sight. Xuanyang offered her services to the local magistrate, using her skills as a coroner to help examine the corpse and solve the case. A cold-faced man, the one truly in charge behind the scenes, watched the whole thing. When asked her name, she misunderstood the question, made up a name on the spot, and even claimed she was already married with children. She thought they would never cross paths again, only to discover after arriving in the capital and becoming a coroner at the Court of Judicial Review that the prince who had been urgently appointed by the emperor to take charge of the court's judicial authority was the very man she had deceived. To hold on to the hard-won position she had tested into, she had no choice but to greet him with a smile. The indifferent prince held a register bearing her name. His long, narrow phoenix eyes glanced over it, and a cold aura surrounded him. Yet he deliberately called her name, one syllable at a time: "Xuan, yang, " * Yan Qi had thought that once his younger brother ascended the throne, he could retire to the countryside and enjoy a quiet life. But he had not even enjoyed a year of peace before he was summoned back to the capital and ordered to take over the mess at the Court of Judicial Review. He was already in a foul mood on the way back to the capital, and then an ominous case appeared, making him colder than a demon king. Just as he was about to intervene, a pretty young woman with a fresh face demonstrated a deep understanding of coroner's methods and helped solve the case. He had meant to ask her name and recruit her. Who could have guessed she would take him for a lecher instead? When they met again, it was at the Court of Judicial Review, where the young woman had become his subordinate coroner. Gone was her wariness at the inn. She treated him with great warmth: "This common woman, Xuanyang, pays her respects to Your Highness." Yan Qi lifted his eyes and glanced at the smiling young woman, deliberately calling her by name in a cool voice. Inwardly, he sighed: What a fine name. Upcoming Novel 2: The Crown Prince's Wife's Mouth Is Full of Lies Li Zhaoyan transmigrated into a book, into an ancient romance novel she knew only a little about. The good news was that she had transmigrated into the body of the beautiful and dazzling legitimate daughter of the Marquis Jingbo's household, with a noble status. The bad news was that her half-sister was the heroine, while her father doted on his concubine and neglected his wife, leaving the original owner to live on tenterhooks. According to the novel's plot, the original owner's maternal grandfather had once made an agreement with the late emperor: when she came of age, he would choose a prince for her to marry. Now the emperor had told her to choose between the gentle and refined Second Prince and the brave and fearless Third Prince. She knew very well that both princes had tangled, complicated relationships with her half-sister. Thinking of the original owner's tragic ending, she raised her hand like a student in grade school and specifically asked to marry the disabled and ill-tempered Fourth Prince, Song Wen. On their wedding night, the candlelight flickered, while Song Wen never appeared, leaving Li Zhaoyan alone in the bridal chamber. Bodyguard: Your Highness, the princess consort is crying. Song Wen frowned and put down the document in his hand. Bodyguard: She choked on the dates on the bed and cried. Song Wen: ... * Li Zhaoyan had carefully laid out her plans for marrying Song Wen. In the novel, Song Wen never married in his entire life. He was a man with no interest in love or romance. As long as she acted like a clingy princess consort and deliberately pestered him without offending him, Song Wen would sooner or later get fed up and give her a divorce decree. Then she could go somewhere no one knew her, open a food shop, build it into a thriving business, and live freely. So she cultivated an image of obedience, and called him "husband" at every turn. In front of Song Wen, she declared that she would never leave him, and she followed him like a shadow every day. But when she was alone in her room, she was so anxious she could barely sit still. Li Zhaoyan: "How can Song Wen be so patient? Why hasn't he divorced me yet?" Song Wen, passing by at just that moment: ... * Song Wen was disabled and the emperor's least favored son. People in the capital mocked him, saying he had handsome brows and bright eyes, and looked imposing and dignified, but lacked the fate to rule the world. Only he knew that his disability was an act. He wanted to hide his strengths and take everyone by surprise later. Everything had been under his control, until Li Zhaoyan chose him as her ideal husband. Who had placed this woman by his side? Why was she being so attentive? What was she really up to? He was wary and suspicious of her. But hearing Li Zhaoyan tell him day after day how much she admired him eventually turned his heart into a pool of spring water. He secretly swore that if she loved him, he would never let her down. But later, he discovered that all his wife could think about was leaving him and going far away on her own. When Li Zhaoyan really asked him for a divorce decree, his eyes reddened as he pulled her into the bed curtains. His voice was hoarse and tinged with unease when he spoke: "You clearly promised that we would never part, even when our hair turned white..." Upcoming Novel 3: Drunk on Green Plums [Charming noble young lady x dashing young general] Ye Changge had a childhood sweetheart. In other people's eyes, Ran Yu was a spirited young talent with lofty ambitions. In her eyes, he was nothing but a brat who liked to tease her, then awkwardly make up with her afterward. She had always thought she was sick of him, until a high fever knocked her unconscious and brought her a dream. She dreamed that Ran Yu had died. After she married someone else, he died on a battlefield surrounded by enemies. The dashing young general was struck by several arrows. To avoid capture by the enemy, he killed himself, his blood spilling across the frontier. Ye Changge woke from the dream, and her sobs woke Ran Yu, who had been keeping watch outside her door. The boy who usually feared nothing was so startled that he nearly fell over. Remembering Ran Yu's fate in the dream, Ye Changge secretly resolved to be more patient with him. But Ran Yu stared at her swollen eyes and clicked his tongue, neither gently nor harshly. "Can't you stop crying? If my dad sees you later, he'll beat me up again." He was still just as obnoxious. She angrily threw a pillow at his face. In the days that followed, Ye Changge continued to bicker and play around with Ran Yu. Just as the nightmare was about to fade from her mind, the dream's scene of Ran Yu being chosen as the princess's consort actually came true. Only then did Ye Changge realize that her dreams predicted the future. She decided to change the ending and, against her own wishes, urged Ran Yu to marry the princess. But she never expected her actions to anger Ran Yu, who ignored her for many days. Then an out-of-control horse nearly struck her in the street. Ran Yu appeared in time and rescued her amid the cries of the crowd. At last, he had given in to her. Ye Changge thought he would immediately go back to his usual sharp-tongued sarcasm. But then she suddenly realized that the person holding her was trembling. "Fool, if I become the princess's consort, I won't be able to look after you." * At night, Ye Changge quietly slipped out of her room. The young man climbed over the wall, carried her up to the roof, and sat with her to watch the moon. Resting her head against Ran Yu's broad, sturdy shoulder, she worked up the courage to ask him tentatively: "If one day you go off to war, could you please remember that I'll be waiting for you? Don't be reckless. Come back alive." Ran Yu was surprised at first. He turned to look at her, his eyes shining. His pointed canine teeth showed as he smiled, and his tone was as arrogant and unruly as ever. "If you wait for me, I'll return victorious to see you." Ye Changge froze for a moment. So he had never returned in her dream because she had stopped waiting for him. Thesis: Always put loving yourself first.
