Zheng Zhiyi was the daughter of a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan. She had been surrounded by ledgers and abacuses since childhood, and when she came of age, her father praised her: "No one in the world can surpass Xixi in business."
Zheng Zhiyi and her parents had planned to find her a husband who would marry into their family, so she would not have to suffer at the hands of a mother-in-law in someone else's household.
Unexpectedly, the crown prince of the dynasty came to see Zheng Zhiyi every day. He was gentle and attentive, always looking out for her. He brought her an umbrella when it rained and meals in the morning and evening, and followed her as she visited her various shops.
Zheng Zhiyi thought that, as noble as the crown prince was, he must truly love her to treat her so well. So, despite her parents' objections, she married him.
After they married, the crown prince took a secondary consort, claiming that his mother had forced him to. Zheng Zhiyi endured it. But then he began to take over her shops, and eventually even sought to punish the Zheng family.
Looking at the poisoned wine, Zheng Zhiyi smiled. "You want my family's money, but you despise me for smelling of copper. You can't have it both ways. I've already taken care of my property, so you won't get a single coin. If my calculations are right, your childhood sweetheart, the secondary consort, should have a cup of wine just like this waiting for her too." With that, she drank the poison.
When she opened her eyes again, Zheng Zhiyi found herself back in the year the crown prince had courted her.
"Take the snowflake pastries away. I have no appetite," Zheng Zhiyi said, looking at the treats the crown prince had sent.
"Prepare a carriage and an introduction letter. I'm going to pay a visit to Prince Chen." Prince Chen was the dynasty's God of War. In her previous life, when Zheng Zhiyi discovered the crown prince's true nature, she had relied on Prince Chen to save her family, though he ultimately failed to protect her.
When the crown prince noticed Zheng Zhiyi's change in attitude, he panicked and went to see her. In a private room, he saw Prince Chen, usually so stern, smiling as he personally brushed crumbs from the corner of Zheng Zhiyi's mouth. It was a tenderness the crown prince had never seen from him.
"Xixi, I've brought a jade hairpin. See if you like it." The crown prince gestured for his attendant to bring over a wooden box.
Zheng Zhiyi did not even look at it. "I don't like it."
The smile in Prince Chen's eyes deepened. "Xixi?"
"It's my childhood nickname. My parents both call me that."
"Then let's go somewhere else, Xixi." Prince Chen stepped in front of Zheng Zhiyi, blocking the crown prince's view of her.

Here's a preview: "The man I picked up is plotting rebellion!" Saving manuscript, will open it soon~ Liu Qingyu, the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, is a beautiful lady who is praised by everyone in Luodu for her beautiful appearance, knowledge of books and etiquette. However, Liu Qingyu picked up a man and put him in his courtyard! The man wore green clothes with wide sleeves. He was elegant and easy-going, making people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze. Liu Qingyu thought he was a gentleman of Songzhu. Unexpectedly, one night with the bright moon hanging high, a man appeared in front of her wearing red clothes soaked in blood. He went to kill someone! Afterwards, Zhao Zeshi designed and returned to the palace as a prince. At Guanghua Temple, Liu Qingyu communicated with her future husband and asked him for a peace charm. Unexpectedly, this scene would be seen by the princes who happened to come in. King Qi had failed to marry Liu Qingyu before, so he asked Liu Qingyu to ask for a peace charm for him. Liu Qingyu didn't want to get too involved with Prince Qi, so she begged one for all the princes present. When they arrived at Zhao Zeshi's place, the peace talisman was gone. Liu Qingyu pulled the peace talisman off her waist and said, "If your highness does not dislike it, accept this peace talisman." It didn't work anyway, so she gave it away. Zhao Zeshi didn't show it on his face, and only said: "Thank you Miss Liu, of course I don't dislike it." But in his heart, he thought that in order to give him a peace charm, Miss Liu actually gave one to all the princes. Liu Qingyu looked at him with a cherished look: Huh? Don't understand...

Come on, baby, don't let your son get hurt.
Here's a pre-collection for you guys: "Beauty Rivers and Mountains" Copywriting: When they first met, he was covered in blood and mud, with bloody wounds all over his body. She took him back to her house and was about to recuperate. At that time, he was covered in thorns and didn't trust anyone, and naturally he didn't trust Liu Qingyu who helped him recover from his injuries for no apparent reason. His eyes were filled with gray, and he laughed at himself: "If you bring me back, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will kill you?" Liu Qingyu had never thought about this problem, and she was stunned. Zhao Zeshi laughed evilly, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, "If you're afraid of death, don't save me if you're afraid of death." But she was the first person to show kindness to him, and he was still heartbroken. Liu Qingyu came back to her senses, shook her head, and said firmly: "I'm not afraid." When he stepped into the Jinluan Palace, he was covered in blood. The courtiers were trembling and did not dare to speak. He was a treasonous traitor who killed his father and brother and would do whatever it takes to gain the throne. The elite soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty were already on the border. He recruited troops and collected taxes to prepare for a future war. The courtiers said that peace should be negotiated, but the people of the world said that Your Majesty is cruel and does not know how to govern benevolently and care for the people. Full of rage, he reorganized the court, tidied up the country, and set off to the north. The courtiers' advice was as numerous as snowflakes. He knew that the world said that he was militaristic. So what? Someone should end the troubled times, and his Jin Dynasty should not remain poor and weak! Among the many voices, there was only one voice that was always different. Her voice was soft but firm. "It was wrong for the late emperor to send you to the Song Dynasty to be a hostage. If you didn't do this, several princesses from the Jin Dynasty would have become other people's concubines." "It is right to prepare for war in advance. It is useless to negotiate for peace." "Now the time is right. If we don't go on an expedition, how about waiting for the Song Kingdom to rest and recuperate?" "Zhao Zeshi, hold on, Dajin will only have a future because of you." She had always known that Zhao Zeshi looked strong, but would quietly lick his wounds when no one was around. She wanted to stand by his side and accompany him. Zhao Zeshi touched the side of Liu Qingyu's face with his fingers, "Yu'er, from the beginning to the end, it was you who made me persevere."
