Reborn Before the Broken Engagement

Shen Yunshang had given her all to her husband's family, only to end up gravely ill and utterly miserable. As she lay dying, she couldn't help remembering that she once had a fiance. He had a foul mouth and could leave you choking with a single remark, but he was handsome and generous. If only she'd swallowed her pride back then... Pei Xingzhao had worked himself to the bone for his wife's family, only to lose his life in the end. As he lay dying, he couldn't help remembering that he once had a fiancee. She had a temper like a firecracker, going off at the slightest spark, but she was beautiful and kind. If only he'd swallowed his pride back then... In the blink of an eye, they woke up back in the past, after their falling-out but before they broke off their engagement. Shen Yunshang stole a glance at the handsome young man beside her, only to meet those long-missed, bewitching peach-blossom eyes. Their gazes met and parted. Two voices rang out at the same time: "We're not breaking off the engagement." The Shen family elders: ...Didn't you just say yesterday that you'd never marry Pei Xingzhao, even if every other man on earth were dead? The Pei family elders: ...Didn't you just say yesterday that you'd rather be a bachelor for life than marry Shen Yunshang? Shen Yunshang looked at him in surprise and nudged the boy with her elbow, awkwardly asking, "What do you mean..." Pei Xingzhao: "I was wrong!" Shen Yunshang: "Hmm?" Pei Xingzhao's eyes flickered. "How about we give it another try?" Shen Yunshang stared at him for a moment, then lifted her chin with a smug smile. "Sure, let's give it a try." Later, the truth came to light. Shen Yunshang munched on sunflower seeds, eyes red, arms folded as she mocked him: "Well, well. You went and worked like a beast for someone, only to be schemed against and die in prison. Quite the achievement!" Pei Xingzhao leaned against a pillar with a cup of tea in hand, his voice hoarse. "You were the young madam of a powerful noble family, yet you couldn't even get a bowl of medicine. Quite impressive!" They both looked up at the sky. They were evenly matched. Neither could get a rise out of the other. In that case, they could join forces and take shots at their enemies instead. Coming soon: "The Crown Prince's Daily Life of Slacking Off" The infamous, peerlessly skilled witch was dead. The heroes who had helped bring her down celebrated with a victory feast, never suspecting that the witch had opened her eyes in the Eastern Palace. Yun Xuan woke up after faking her death and escaping, only to discover that she had been picked up and brought to the Eastern Palace. The young crown prince demanded that she repay him for saving her life by keeping him company as he ate, drank, and had fun. She fancied the young crown prince's looks, so she agreed. Just as things were going well, the world fell into chaos. The crown prince was forced to take up the imperial seal, and the neighboring kingdom's jade seal was placed in Yun Xuan's hands. The young crown prince nearly fell over in anger. "...Have you no shame? A princess of another kingdom is mooching off the Eastern Palace?" Yun Xuan felt completely innocent. "...I was going to return after faking my death, but you butted in and took me away." They stared at each other in silence. Ji Yu leaned closer and coaxed her. "Go deal with the troublemakers, then come back and have fun?" Princess Yun Xuan proudly laid down her condition: "When I come back, I'll keep eating and drinking at your expense." And keep trying to win you over. Ji Yu nodded without a care. "Sure. That's the plan." A witch with a few scruples vs. a desireless crown prince who just wants to slack off The story of two lazy fish who only wanted to lie flat, but were forced to charge ahead and became rulers of the world. "The Moon's Shadow" Song Beihe was born into a distinguished family, brilliant in both letters and arms, and blessed with every advantage. Yet after a eunuch's treachery destroyed his family, the once-proud heir of the Song house became a convicted slave whom anyone could abuse. He entered the Censorate at sixteen. In his spirited, ambitious days, he had offended so many people at court that there were probably enough to fill a banquet table. So when he entered the Convict Slave Bureau, the auction floor was packed with bidders eager to claim him. But the one who finally bought him for a thousand gold pieces was his greatest enemy, Commandery Princess Wei Huashang. When Wei Huashang had someone bring a thousand gold pieces, she also brought a knife. She said she hated Song Beihe to the bone, and she'd cut down anyone who tried to snatch him from her. Many people felt sorry for Song Beihe. In the hands of Wei Huashang, that madwoman, even the proudest spirit would be crushed. Yet a year later, the Song family was exonerated and its noble title restored. Song Beihe became the youngest Duke of the State, and the youngest Left Chancellor. - On the day Song Beihe was exonerated, a friend asked Wei Huashang if she regretted buying her enemy. Wei Huashang said, "Song Beihe may be killed, but he must never be humiliated." Her friend asked again, "So did you ever humiliate him?" Wei Huashang watched the Left Chancellor approach in his crimson official robes and curved her lips into a smile. "Does making him warm my bed count?" "My Husband Is the Sweetest Man in the World" Fu Heng, the only heir of Prince Ling's household, was sickly from birth. Prince Ling doted on him like the apple of his eye, spoiling him into a sharp-tongued, ill-tempered young man. When Fu Heng was thirteen, Prince Ling had another son. Feeling neglected, Fu Heng grew even more difficult. Later, word spread that he intended to join the Censorate. From then on, everyone in the capital gave him a wide berth. On New Year's Eve in the year Fu Heng turned eighteen, the great general Mu Ting returned victorious from war. The emperor held a banquet at Luhua Terrace to welcome him home. The officials offered their congratulations, the emperor bestowed rewards, and the Mu family basked in the limelight. Then the banquet hall abruptly fell silent. An anxious attendant hurried to the emperor and said, "A young woman is drunk and teasing Prince Ling's heir. The guards can't pull her away." Mu Ting was stunned. He had been away from the capital for a long time. Had the noble young ladies here become this forward? Curious, Mu Ting looked over, then felt his heart sink. The woman clinging to the heir was none other than his own daughter, who had returned to the capital with him. Though Mu Ting had only just returned, he knew that this heir was Prince Ling's most prized possession. He caught sight of Prince Ling's blazing eyes from the corner of his own and immediately stood up, bellowing, "You unfilial girl! Let go of that golden treasure!" In the strange silence, Mu Ruan reached out and poked Fu Heng's cheek. "Golden treasure? He isn't made of gold. He's soft." "Father, I snatched myself a husband. Take a look, isn't he handsome?" Fu Heng glared at Mu Ruan, who even his personal guards had failed to pry from his arms, and ground out, "You're dead!" Mu Ruan leaned in and planted a loud kiss on him. "To die beneath a peony is to die happily." Fu Heng: For eighteen years, everything went my way and I could order everyone around. Then I met a madwoman. She must be my punishment! Mu Ruan: I spent eighteen years eating sand at the border and got a peerlessly handsome husband. I deserve him! Theme: Live life with a positive attitude
