The Tang Dynasty's Beloved Wang Baochuan Is Rich Enough to Rival a Nation

Wang Baochuan was the legitimate daughter of a prime minister. After stubbornly marrying the beggar Xue Pinggui, he went off to join the army, while she lived in a cold cave, surviving by digging up wild vegetables.

One day, she fell seriously ill and discovered she was being livestreamed. Through the comments, she learned that Xue Pinggui had already married the Princess of Xiliang and started a family with her. Eighteen years later, Xue Pinggui would ascend the throne, make Wang Baochuan his empress, then poison her to make room for the Princess of Xiliang...

She refused to let the plot unfold as written. Taking the comments' advice, she started growing vegetables, building a thatched cottage, and opening shops. She kept face-slapping her vicious second older sister, Wang Yinchuan, and built herself a thriving little life. Everyone from the court officials to the people in the prime minister's household doted on her.

The supposedly gentle, refined, and useless Third Prince secretly controlled the country's economic lifeline and commanded tens of thousands of soldiers. He was ruthless and cold-hearted. She had planned to keep her distance from him, but he unexpectedly proposed to her in front of everyone!

Not long afterward, Xue Pinggui returned, claiming to be the crown prince who had been lost among the common people. Seeing how alluring she had become, he wanted to have the best of both worlds and take her as a secondary consort. Wang Baochuan grabbed a handful of wild vegetables and flung them hard at his face.

"Scumbag! Get lost!"

Later, the Third Prince, Li Guancheng, inherited the throne, married Wang Baochuan as his empress, reclaimed Xiliang, and spoiled his beloved girl rotten.

"[Dream of the Red Chamber + Qing Dynasty Transmigration] Lin Ruhai's Long Road to Winning His Wife Back"

Tao Yaoyao was a little fox spirit. After finally cultivating a human form, she accidentally ate a spirit fruit belonging to a powerful demon and was slapped into a spirit spring, where she passed out.

When she woke up, she found herself in a whole new world: the fourth year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing dynasty.

By coincidence, she shared a name and appearance with Princess Tao Yaoyao. But the princess was arrogant and wicked, while she was a little foodie who was an expert at acting cute and sweet.

After the princess fell off a cliff and died, Tao Yaoyao impersonated her and entered the palace. She spent every day in the imperial kitchens, eating all kinds of delicacies. When she was in a good mood, her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

She thought that in another hundred years, she would become a powerful demon and bring glory to her ancestors. But then...

One time, she caught a bad cold and sneezed out her inner core.

The core fell to the ground and split in two. One half vanished without a trace, while the other merged into the body of Lin Ruhai, a grand secretary of the cabinet. The only way to fully restore the core inside her was to cultivate with Lin Ruhai ninety-nine times.

It was said that after Lin Ruhai's wife, Jia Min, died, the real princess fell in love at first sight with the elegant, refined, and brilliant Lin Ruhai at the funeral, and pursued him by any means for a full three years.

Lin Ruhai had not the slightest interest in her. Even his eldest daughter, Lin Daiyu, despised her. Trying to cultivate with Lin Ruhai would be harder than sending a pig flying into the sky.

But she had to retrieve at least half her inner core to continue cultivating! She had to become a powerful demon and bring glory to her ancestors. She absolutely could not become a disgrace to the fox clan!

So she followed in the real princess's footsteps and kept pursuing Lin Ruhai like crazy. She was clearly a fox, but she lived like a lovesick puppy.

Later, she even begged the emperor to decree that she be married to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai treated her with impeccable courtesy, but remained distant and reserved. Aside from touching her once on their wedding night, he rarely shared her bed.

No matter. She would slowly win him over.

When Lin Ruhai fell ill, she cared for him around the clock.

When Lin Daiyu's health grew weaker, Tao Yaoyao risked her life climbing a snowy mountain to catch a silkworm and make her medicinal soup. When Lin Ruhai was framed and thrown into prison, Tao Yaoyao took the blame and went to the execution ground in his place...

At last, a hint of affection appeared in the man's eyes when he looked at her.

Lin Daiyu also began to ask after her and care for her. She even braved the heavy snow to bring her soup, often pouting and saying, "Mother, why are you wearing such thin clothes again? What if you catch a chill?"

Tao Yaoyao thought the fox fur was simply too thick. She was hot!

Later, Tao Yaoyao discovered that the other half of her inner core was inside the current regent.

The regent was a fan of her looks. Getting him to cultivate with her would be as easy as crooking a finger.

Yay! She finally didn't have to act like a lovesick puppy anymore!

That night, she left behind a letter of divorce and ran to the regent's residence, ready to get close to the dashing, free-spirited, muscular young man...

But just as she had climbed into bed, Lin Ruhai came charging in with Lin Daiyu.

With a dark look on his handsome face, he said, "Tao Yaoyao, get over here!"

Tao Yaoyao blinked innocently. "But... but I've already fallen in love with the regent. Lord Lin, please make yourself at home."

Lin Ruhai: "..."

His heart was slowly turning dark.

Lin Daiyu scoffed. "You used to ignore Mother. Now it's your turn to chase after her, isn't it?"

P.S. One-on-one romance. The male lead has to win his wife back. Since this is an alternate-history Qing dynasty transmigration story, the men only wear braids and don't shave their heads. Sometimes they even tie their hair up in a crown.
