Becoming the Villainess's Wife [Matriarchal Society]

Coming soon: The General's Plight (Female-Dominated World), The Mistress of the House Is a Butcher (Female-Dominated World)

Everyone knows that Shen An, the eldest son of the Jian'an Earl's household, is naturally handsome and exquisitely beautiful, with talent that surpasses all of the capital. He is the dream husband of countless women. As soon as he came of age, matchmakers sent by every household nearly wore down the Earl's gate with marriage proposals.

Few people know that there is also a second son in the Jian'an Earl's household: Shen Li.

Shen Li has known since childhood that all the good things in this world go to his older brother. He and his father are nothing but a stain on the deep affection between his mother and her first husband. For over a decade, he has survived in the Earl's household by treading carefully, living worse than the servants.

He is reborn on the eve of being sent into a substitute marriage. He had planned to burn the entire household to the ground and make everyone who had harmed him die with him. But then the most exalted princess in the land asks the emperor, in the Golden Hall, to issue an edict naming him as the person she wishes to marry.

Female lead's perspective:

After Jiang Sui realizes she has transmigrated into a female-dominated romance novel, she doesn't exactly take it well. But what makes her despair even more is seeing what happens next. In the original book, the delicate, meek second son of the Jian'an Earl's household, Shen Li, is actually the story's greatest villain. Forced into a substitute marriage, he turns completely evil, seducing his wife and disrupting the court, boldly conspiring with foreign powers and plunging all of Great Qi into chaos.

As the future successor of Great Qi, Jiang Sui is deeply distressed. After much consideration, she decides to keep this dark lotus by her side and personally straighten out his crooked branches.

Bonus scene:

Shen Li presses a hand to his chest and gives Jiang Sui a seductive look. "My chest hurts, Wife. You'll have to rub it for me yourself."

Jiang Sui sits bolt upright with a memorial in hand. Without looking up, she asks, "Have you memorized the Eight Honors and Eight Shames of Socialism? How much do you understand of the Core Socialist Values now? And have you finished the reading list I gave you last time?"

Shen Li: ... What a miserable fate.

1. The General's Plight (Female-Dominated World)

Su Ning, the God of War of Great Qi, commands an army of one hundred thousand and guards the border with such might that he inspires fear. But his achievements threaten to overshadow the ruler, making him the target of suspicion from all sides. Countless people want to bring him down and make use of him. The one thing they never expected is that he is a man.

Suspicion takes on a different character, and sticky, covetous gazes cling to Su Ning everywhere he goes. An imperial edict summons him back to the capital. Word spreads, and one faction after another rushes to propose marriage, hoping to clip the wings of this proud eagle and cage the feared God of War of Great Qi in a secluded mansion, as a husband kept for their bedchamber.

Su Ning rejects everyone, good and bad, sweet or foul. Before the emperor can lose his temper, he grabs Qi Yun, the capital's most notorious wastrel, whom he has dragged out of a male brothel, still reeking of wine and barely able to stand, and says with absolute conviction, "You want me to marry? Then I'll marry her."

Female lead's perspective:

The vicious Su Ning wants to marry her. When Qi Yun receives the imperial edict arranging their marriage, she faints on the spot. If she marries Su Ning, she'll never be able to assert herself as a wife. She can't beat him in a fight, and if she dares scold him, she'll probably get beaten. The male courtesans she visits at the brothel will become a thing of the past, and her life will surely be miserable. Qi Yun runs away from the wedding; after she's caught, she tries to kill herself; after she's rescued, she throws a tantrum; after she's scolded, she accepts her fate and dutifully welcomes her husband home in an eight-person sedan chair.

Married life turns out exactly as she expected. She becomes the capital's most famous henpecked wife.

But this Su Ning, who is neither delicate nor handsome nor manly at all, always manages to hold her up and carry her out of the mud, helping her move forward step by step. He never wavers, no matter how hard the wind and rain blow.

Qi Yun thinks, I should fight for him, too.

2. The Mistress of the House Is a Butcher (Female-Dominated World)

Ming Yi transmigrates into the body of a butcher famous throughout the surrounding villages.

The good news is that she's transmigrated into a happy female-dominated country. The bad news is that this butcher has a terrible reputation.

Luckily, she was a cook in her previous life, so she can keep butchering pigs. But she's already in her twenties, and the children in her village who are her age can all run around now, while she's still an old bachelor. When she asks around, she finds out that the original owner was not only a butcher but also bad-tempered. She drank and gambled, and even beat people when she was in a bad mood.

Who would dare marry a good man to a woman like that? Ming Yi spends a fortune hiring a matchmaker to find her someone, but some people think she's vulgar, while others are after her money. After several rounds of trying, she still hasn't found anyone suitable.

So she decides to find someone herself. This young hunter from the mountains may be a bit dark-skinned, but he's handsome. Wouldn't it be nice to bring him home and kiss him a few times?

Then they'll have two children, open a little shop, and enjoy a cozy life with her husband and children gathered around a warm hearth.
