[Escaped Death, Then Made My Fiancé Pay]
Qian Shanyue’s father arranged her betrothal when she was born.
Luo Mingchuan, the young master of Bantianmen, was as handsome as a jade statue. Though young, he had already reached the peak of the seventh tier of cultivation. He was an ideal match.
But Qian Shanyue was proud and ambitious, and had no interest in him.
Later, she joined Penglai, where a junior fellow disciple arrived on the island. He was handsome and clean-cut, with an extraordinary air about him.
For a moment, Qian Shanyue felt shy.
But her master had told her that her fate lay in the word "love," and she must never touch it.
Though Qian Shanyue tried to keep her distance, she still developed tender feelings. She thought, It’s only love. So what if I let myself feel it?
She was willing to risk her life and travel to the ends of the earth for him.
But one night, she learned by chance that this junior fellow disciple was Luo Mingchuan, the man to whom she was betrothed, and that he had approached her only to get the Nine-Colored Brocade she possessed.
Qian Shanyue awoke from her dream with a start and asked the man before her, "Did you truly approach me for the Nine-Colored Brocade?"
He replied, "Yes."
"Did you ever have feelings for me?"
He replied, "Never."
Back then, she was young and naive. Heartbroken, she left Penglai, never imagining that she would miss the chance to return to the sect and deliver a warning.
She hurried back, only to find the sect had been invaded and her fellow disciples slaughtered. The whole of Dongshan was a sea of blood, a sight too horrifying to bear.
Later, to protect the sect’s spiritual leyline, she shattered her core and lost all her cultivation. As she collapsed, drenched in blood, she saw Luo Mingchuan rushing toward her. Raising her icy gaze, she said softly, "The Nine-Colored Brocade you want is my life. You may have it. In exchange, our engagement ends here."
[Bonus Scene]
The day Qian Shanyue returned to Tianyin Sect and revealed her identity, the first thing she did was announce she would marry another man.
Luo Mingchuan: What about me?
Qian Shanyue: Uh, who are you?
[Married Up]
At a poetry gathering, Ji Xingzhi casually made a choice that brought about his marriage to Lin Shuyue, a match between people of vastly different status.
Lin Shuyue came from a humble family and had lived by the rules since childhood. Once married into a prestigious household, she felt as if she were walking on thin ice.
After the wedding, she was cautious in everything and careful at every turn, keeping her head down and living like a turtle with its head tucked in.
It was only when Miss Chen arrived in the capital that she learned Ji Xingzhi had hastily married her because he already had someone else in his heart. He had taken her as his wife merely to placate his family’s demands that he marry.
Lin Shuyue felt no emotional turmoil at all. If anything, she was a little pleased, and took even better care of Ji Xingzhi’s meals and daily needs than before.
Only sometimes, alone at night, would she secretly count her private savings. She thought happily, Just a little more saved, and I can get a divorce. Then I can find myself a handsome gentleman who knows how to be attentive and caring.
-
Ji Xingzhi was peerlessly handsome, the most highly valued minister by the new emperor. When he married a woman from a humble family, everyone was astounded.
After the wedding, he spent most of his time at the government offices. He remembered his wife as gentle, sensible, well-behaved, and never clingy. She managed the household and honored his parents. She was a capable and proper wife.
That day, remembering it was her birthday, he set aside his work and left the office early for once. As he entered the garden, he heard carefree laughter from inside the room: "How could I possibly fall for that cold-faced block of wood? I like elegant young men who are as warm as jade..."
The ever decisive and calculating Young Lord Ji tossed and turned all night.
So she had never loved him...

[Story Blurb]
[The Heroine]
The words Qin Shuyi heard most throughout her life were that she was well-read, gentle, virtuous, and suited to being a wife and mother. What books to read, what to do, what to say, and whom to marry were always decided by her family.
In the end, she lived up to their expectations and became empress.
She thought, At last, I’ve made it through.
But little by little, she realized she was wrong. No matter how hard she tried to please him, the emperor only favored his Consort Zhuang. The nights in the deep palace were cold as ice. As empress, she was little more than a decoration on the palace gate, with nothing but a respectable public image and endless stacks of palace affairs on her desk.
Later, she finally fell ill from overwork and died before she was thirty.
When she awoke again, she had returned to the day she first met Li Muyan.
In her previous life, she had been terribly wrong. In this life, she saw things clearly. To hell with being an empress, to hell with the prosperity of the clans, and to hell with being someone’s unattainable ideal. Being alive mattered most, and lying flat was the most comfortable.
[The Hero]
Li Muyan had always known that his empress was dignified and proper, gentle and virtuous, practically a living textbook on the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.
But an empress like that was rigid and dull. For more than ten years of marriage, the two of them had treated each other with respect, but no affection.
When Li Muyan spent every night in Consort Zhuang’s chambers, outsiders praised the empress for her magnanimity, calling her a model of noble refinement.
Later, the empress died suddenly, and the whole nation mourned.
The emperor spent a day and a night in the mourning hall, and the world said the imperial couple had shared a deep and devoted love.
But in truth, Li Muyan spent the whole day wondering why his usually mild-tempered empress had been so resolute, and why her final letter had not said a single word about him.
Later, Li Muyan woke from a nap and found himself back on the day he first met the empress.
He eagerly went to visit the Qin household.
But at the dinner table, the woman across from him did not even look his way. He was baffled, and suddenly the food in his bowl tasted bland.
[Bonus Scene]
One day, Li Muyan came to visit the Qin household again.
Qin Shuyi knew he liked sweet food and hated spicy food, so she told Chuntao to buy the hottest peppers she could find.
Chuntao asked in confusion, "Miss, what are these for?"
Qin Shuyi said, "I’m making spicy fish. Extra hot, super hot, insanely hot. I’m going to set his mouth on fire."
The setting is fictional.
The male lead only loves the heroine in both his previous and current lives. There is a misunderstanding involving Consort Zhuang, which will be explained later.
HE, no change of male lead.
Most of the food in this story is culinary horror. Don’t try these recipes at home!

The biggest problem is that the heroine's rebirth is meaningless. It can only be said that she has gained the hero's love, but what is the meaning of the hero's love? Will the hero give up the throne for the heroine's dream? Not to mention that the male and female protagonists have not slept together a few times in their previous lives, which means that the two people have a bad sexual relationship, and such two people will be resentful couples in the future together. The heroine will remember in a late night when she is alone in the boudoir that she originally wanted to be a free bird. The hero will also forget the existence of the heroine in the busy political affairs and leave everything about the heroine to his servants. Except for the absence of Concubine Zhuang, everything is exactly the same as in the previous life.
Chapter 71, it feels like starting from the Third Ring Road North and walking all the way to the Third Ring Road South. Looking around, I am still on the Third Ring Road. I asked weakly that Mr. J had no heirs in his previous life. Didn't the ministers have any advice? Can you secure the throne? This is unconventional.
Wow, reading the whole article is quite confusing. Your copy is as follows: The male protagonist has only female protagonists in his previous life and this life. Concubine Zhuang has a misunderstanding, which will be discussed later. Let me ask you weakly, what do you think? Well, since the narrative must have a beginning and an end. In the end, the noble man and the noble concubine were confused, and the ending ended abruptly. The people watching were confused and couldn't find the answer, and it was a mess. Regarding the heroine and the male protagonist in this life, and the young master Dongli and the princess, it feels like they are just twisting together and fighting for each other.
That is to say, in the previous life, the male protagonist was sitting on a vast empire, embracing this concubine or that noble person, and at most he enjoyed boundless loneliness (not counting it), but my female protagonist died. . . . . Well written, please don't trap us and kill us next time
It's obviously the male protagonist's fault in his past life that he can't figure out, but they all say that it's wrong for the female protagonist to abide by etiquette, especially in the end when they say it's all her own fault. I didn't even see any abuse of men. The heroine suffered a loss in her previous life but still believed the hero's words. She still seems to be depressed and repeat the same mistakes.
Yun'er forced Li Gou to see him. . . . . . Such a man is really disgusting. When it's time for him to speak out, he will always be as good as dead, or he will just think about it.
Da Da has always let J men surround themselves in circles, whitewashing the peace, and not understanding themselves deeply, unable to see how despicable, disgusting, arrogant and arbitrary they are. He is accustomed to the heroine's dedication, and if he occasionally gives charity when he feels like it, he considers it a great favor to the heroine. At a critical moment, Concubine Zhuang took a wrong approach and almost killed the heroine. The J man only believed in being tolerant and generous to Zhuang instead of appeasing the traitor. He is always aloof and tramples on the dignity of the heroine. Is such a future foreseeable? Let Mr. J explain Zhuang Guifei's misunderstanding. Since it is so difficult to talk about it, he should not have written anything in the copy such as "Zhuang Guifei has a misunderstanding, and why the male protagonist has only the female protagonist in his past and present lives." Since you don't like going to the harem, why let so many women enter the palace, wasting other people's great youth and staying alone and lonely. This man is shown to be cold, selfish, jerky and rotten, so terrible that it makes people sick to death. On the contrary, Concubine Zhuang has a true nature and is aboveboard even if she is bad.
I would like to ask the author again, where is the heroine's weakness for the J man? Where is the widow? I didn't notice it throughout the article, not at all. The J man is so callous and unrighteous that he is so evil to the core that he doesn't realize it. He stabs the heroine Chi one by one, but he doesn't think it hurts enough, so he doesn't forget to sprinkle a pinch of salt on the wound.
My dear, you are a bit patriarchal. Throughout the story, you are reluctant to abuse your son who can't handle it. You, an old mother, have no mercy and no mercy at all when it comes to abusing your daughter. In the two extra stories about the Dog Emperor and Yinyin, we can't see the Dog Emperor feeling guilty about Yinyin's past and present life, not at all. On the other hand, Zhuang Guifei, tsk tsk, the man and woman had sex together in the previous life, which resulted in the heroine dying early and enjoying a lifetime of glory. In this life, due to the J man's failure to support his adultery, the scumbag almost killed the heroine again. If you want to say that the heroine's life is really miserable, I would like to ask, are you the heroine's biological mother? Also, the emperor in his previous life had no children. For the sake of the stability of the court, wouldn't the courtiers not speak up? Dad, do you think this is reasonable?
I thought of the book about the rebirth of the princess.
