Once Upon a Time, There Was a Campus Belle

Once upon a time, there was a campus belle named Zhao Wuluan. Everyone thought she was beautiful but poor. Who could have guessed that A Luan, from a mysterious ethnic minority, could sing and dance, and that her family owned five mountains, where their cattle and sheep roamed freely across the hillsides?

Once upon a time, there was a CEO named Jing Chen. The tabloids praised him as young, successful, domineering, and shrewd. In truth, this CEO was not domineering at all. He was gentle, refined, and charming.

Of course, his second personality, Jing Yi, did not agree...

Notes:

1. The male lead has a dual personality: one side is refined and steady, the other obsessive and wicked. The female lead seems poor and obsessed with earning money, but is actually fabulously wealthy without knowing it, and beautiful without knowing it.

2. Both leads are virgins, and the ending is happy. The male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight and pursues her with all sorts of outrageous schemes. The female lead is both his unattainable ideal and the one he loves most, and there are no troublesome female rivals.

3. There is, however, a flirtatious male rival. The story is set up so that the female lead comes from a mysterious ethnic minority with a matrilineal society and a walking marriage system. Readers unfamiliar with this custom can look it up themselves. It will open up a whole new world.

4. At first, the female lead knows little about the Chinese language or Han culture. She is determined to recruit talented people and bring them back to her hometown to build a beautiful homeland. The male lead finds this a major headache, leading to all kinds of love-triangle drama.

5. Female lead: Please respect ethnic differences (just kidding).

I managed to survive in a novel where everyone was evil,

all thanks to one bastard of a man.

When Yu Jiugo woke up, she had become the concubine-born daughter of a seventh-rank official. Her cruel stepmother was determined to marry her off as the second wife of the eighty-six-year-old Duke of Zheng.

Yu Jiugo seized her chance to escape, only to be drugged with an aphrodisiac. Her pursuers caught up in an instant.

In a ruined temple, the male lead, his arms and legs broken, huddled in a corner, miserable as a beaten dog.

Yu Jiugo: You’ll do. I’d rather marry a dog than let that old geezer have me!

Male lead: Is that any way to talk to someone?!

The female lead slapped him right back: Violating a woman’s wishes is a crime!

Yu Jiugo was still caught and taken back, becoming the Duke’s nominal wife. She made it her mission to drive the Duke of Zheng to his grave, until one day, the only legitimate grandson of the Duke’s household, who had been missing for years, finally returned.

His forty-five-year-old eldest son brought his twenty-year-old grandson to pay his respects.

Yu Jiugo smiled the moment she saw the young man.

Are novels these days really this bold?

Talk about taking things way too far.

Notes:

1. The second marriage is a sham, and so is the legitimate grandson. There are no relationships that violate social norms.

2. The female lead is devoted to building her career. Later on, the male lead becomes an outstanding graduate of the School of Virtuous Men.

3. The female lead gets the plotline of a domineering CEO who spends one wild night with someone, takes them by force, and then refuses to take responsibility. Yes, the male lead is tragically beautiful and powerful at first, and even gets beaten by the female lead. Later, he will stop at nothing to win her over.
