Remarrying Hua Pingting

Next book: Married to a Eunuch, also known as Blossoms Beyond the Bamboo

A scheming, devoted leader of the eunuchs × a spoiled, adorable young lady

× A childhood-sweethearts, slow-burn romance.

Duan Shuhua, the fifteen-year-old daughter of the Privy Council's chief secretary, had lovely brows and a delicate face, and was as beautiful as a peony. Sadly, she was spoiled and looked down on everyone. There was only one person whose name she loved to call.

"Bamboo, I want a basket woven from periwinkle."

"Bamboo, I like pear blossom hairpins."

"Bamboo, my butterfly kite is missing. I want a new one."

Bamboo always answered obediently, "All right."

She smiled sweetly, thinking how obedient Bamboo was.

Until the emperor bestowed a marriage upon her. Unable to resist, Shuhua cried, "Bamboo, you have to come with me."

Bamboo froze. For the first time, he fell silent.

When the future Crown Princess was brought into the palace, everyone said she was willful and ill-tempered, and that she ignored the Crown Prince. Instead, she wept alone, crying, "Bamboo, where did Bamboo go?"

From then on, she grew despondent and shut herself away.

Three years later, at a banquet celebrating a great victory over the foreign tribes, she saw the imposing, dashing senior general of the Imperial Guard in his qilin armor, and her face went pale.

"Bam, "

"My name is Duan Qianzhu."

For three years, he had weathered the yellow sands and the smoke of war. He had done it all for this day: so he would no longer be a lowly slave, helpless to stop someone from taking the person dearest to his heart, and could finally declare his name with dignity.

"What is Your Highness the Crown Princess's wish? I will do everything in my power to grant it."

He looked at her, as gentle as ever.

Shuhua gritted her teeth. "Take me away."

The blurb for this story: A scheming, powerful minister of an uncle × his fallen, beautiful niece by marriage

An Qingzhi has been married twice. The first time was to Yan Shuyun, her childhood sweetheart. This time, she marries his elegant, refined uncle, Yan Yunshen.

The first time, she was a noblewoman of a distinguished family, adorned in phoenix coronet and red wedding robes, surrounded by festive splendor. But her groom vanished on their wedding night, and the proud, headstrong her chose to divorce him without hesitation.

The second time, she is the daughter of a disgraced official, dressed plainly with only a light touch of makeup, living a cold and lonely life. The inner residence is a den of beasts, and everyone watches her like a predator. Yet who could have guessed that her life would only get better?

It all began the night her father was convicted, their family home confiscated, and she was drugged. In despair, she clutched his sleeve and cried, "Sixth Master, my family died so unjustly. Avenge us, avenge us, kill those villains!"

Seeing her trembling like a frightened rabbit, he drew her into his arms and promised he would.

With a marriage contract, she returned to the Yan family, thinking it would be nothing more than a transaction in which each got what they wanted. A year later, after her revenge was complete, Qingzhi prepared to leave.

But Yan Yunshen's gaze was dark, his lips curved in a smile. "We drank the nuptial wine. You think you can just walk away? A shared cup, a shared fate. One gourd split into two cups, filled with bitter wine that sears the heart. Until we turn to ashes, no one can part us."

She couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath. Was she really going to tie herself to him for the rest of her life?

Yan Yunshen draped the bestowed robes of an Illustrious Lady over Qingzhi. "Don't be afraid. From the first time I saw you, I thought you would look most beautiful in these."

Qingzhi gasped. "Back when I was still your niece by marriage?"

Yunshen said nothing. It had been much earlier than that.

The male lead is a powerful man who had planned this from the start. Ten-year age gap.

Sweet as honey, marriage first and love later, revenge, household intrigue, and a hint of an ensemble cast.

1. I'm terrible at writing blurbs. You'll have to read the story for the details.

Original title: Crossing the Peach Blossom Spring

"This year she marries Hua Pingting again, and carriages line the streets to see her off.", Song of the Young Aunt

Currently writing: A proud, cold-faced man × a rose of a woman in troubled times

Old-school stand-in romance

"Sister-in-law, am I still leaving tonight?"

Third Miss Yin Tangxi has had something weighing on her mind lately: she wants to adopt a child.

A few years ago, she insisted on getting a divorce. Her family never said anything to her face, but things had become awkward. She didn't want to marry again, and thought that now she was getting older, she might as well find someone to rely on.

The spring weather was lovely that day. The third miss leaned against the veranda, waving a round fan as she watched two swallows squabble, lost in thought. Then she saw her younger sister blushing. Someone had proposed to her: the prospective groom was the newly appointed Minister of Finance.

After much effort, the family had finally managed to make a connection. Her younger sister came to ask her worldly older sister to lend her support, and the third miss readily agreed. She dressed her sister to the nines and accompanied her to the ball.

After exchanging pleasantries, she had to admit that the man was handsome and impressive, but for some reason he looked awfully familiar. It was as if she'd seen him before.

Newly appointed Minister of Finance Xie Xianqing had just returned from overseas. He lit a cigarette. Its ember flashed as he looked through the swirling smoke and realized that the striking woman with the bright eyes across from him had mistaken him for someone else.

She didn't remember him, but he knew her.

The woman who had once left someone distraught and unsure whether she was alive or dead. The man she had deceived, who still could not be found, was none other than his own elder brother.

There was still a debt to be repaid.
