[Upcoming historical romance with a male substitute, "Mistakenly Embracing the Moon," at the bottom]
In her previous life, Lu Huaiqing lost her family to disaster and her hometown was engulfed in war. To secure peace for her people, she went alone to a foreign country as a hostage, and never made it home before she died.
When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn at fifteen, carefree and showered with love.
This time, she wanted only to protect her family. She didn't want to get involved in the power struggles of the capital, and she certainly didn't want to die without knowing why.
Unexpectedly, after being reborn, she saved Fu Jialin by chance.
Fu Jialin, the emperor of Great Yan in her previous life. Rumor had it that he'd killed his father and elder brother to seize the throne.
He was ruthless and cold-hearted, someone she had never dared to cross in her previous life.
But
Lu Huaiqing looked at the young man, who calmly cut away the rotting flesh from his wound by the faint candlelight without so much as furrowing his brow.
The supreme ruler of the realm in her previous life was now just a poor soul with serious injuries.
Could this be someone she could latch onto?
Full of anticipation, Lu Huaiqing asked how he planned to repay her.
After a long pause, the young man replied calmly, "If you come to me to have someone killed, I'll charge you half price."
Huh?
Why was he so stingy? Was that all she got for saving his life?
Fu Jialin had once been the blade of an assassins' guild. After being claimed by the royal family, he became the emperor's feared attack dog.
He had never met anyone like Lu Huaiqing.
After cutting down all the assassins in the hall, his lashes were spattered with blood, and he looked like a demon. Seeing her standing there, stunned, he covered his unease with a mocking tone. "Scared?"
She scratched her head. "If that's really all you're capable of, then I guess you're not so stingy after all."
Fu Jialin: "..."
Later, in the midst of a chaotic battle, he raised his sword to shield her. His blade flashed coldly as he strode through blood to open a path to safety for her.
She tugged at his sleeve. "Is this kind of protection expensive? How about you give me a discount?"
Fu Jialin: "..."
How could there be anyone in this world more thickheaded than him?
A few notes:
1. One-on-one romance, both leads' firsts, happy ending.
2. A redemption story, sweet romance, written in plain language.
"Mistakenly Embracing the Moon"
Jiang Yueying noticed that her husband had been acting strangely lately.
He kept asking her over and over whether she loved him.
Seeing him so insecure, Jiang Yueying gently reassured him: "Of course I love you. Jiang Yueying will love Shen Jinglan forever!"
Those were the bold words Jinglan had said when he confessed to her all those years ago.
Jiang Yueying had blushed and been too shy to reply, but she had quietly remembered them for years.
But why did Jinglan seem even more unhappy when he heard those words?
Shen Jinglan had grown up with Jiang Heng, weathered the struggles for the throne alongside him, and was even demoted a thousand miles away because of him. Yet for some reason, he insisted on having Jiang Yueying, a songstress.
So Jiang Heng disliked Jiang Yueying from the start.
After Jiang Heng ascended the throne, Shen Jinglan should have received the greatest reward for his service.
But he died.
He died protecting Jiang Yueying, and his body was never found.
Jiang Heng couldn't help but hate her even more.
But for Shen Jinglan's sake, when the Shen family tried to force Jiang Yueying to die in her husband's honor, he chose to save her.
Watching Jiang Yueying shrink back timidly, so meek she could hardly hold her own, Jiang Heng understood even less what there was to like about her.
Then, in a daze, she mistook him for Shen Jinglan.
Only after becoming "Shen Jinglan" did Jiang Han learn how this seemingly fragile woman had endured every hardship alongside Shen Jinglan in the harshest of places.
Her timidness was really gentleness and thoughtfulness, and her inability to hold her own was really quiet reserve.
A faint smile from Jiang Yueying was enough to draw his entire gaze.
Jiang Heng came to understand more and more why Shen Jinglan had fallen in love with Jiang Yueying.
And just then...
Shen Jinglan returned.
[A few notes]
1. The heroine has previous sexual experience; the hero does not. Happy ending.
2. The heroine is gentle on the outside but strong inside. She isn't simply weak.
Theme: It's okay not to be perfect
[Let me be healthy][Let me be well][Let me be well][Let me be well] I like their stories very much and hope that they can be happy forever in another world.
Finished reading. In fact, the author is really suitable for writing essays or short stories of tens of thousands of words, which is really attractive. Especially in the past life, there is a kind of regret about the vicissitudes of life. In long stories, I always feel that towards the end, the emotion becomes less and less adequate.
I wish the author greater success!
Is this the charm of Goldfinger? The heroine didn't do anything, and the villain was forcibly reduced to intelligence.
I won't mention the plot bugs. There will be more and more in the future. Why is the story line told so hastily? ! A few sentences every time to convey important links? Why!!!! I like the synopsis very much, but the content is getting more and more perfunctory...
Well, it's a bit too high and low, and the writing is becoming more and more perfunctory... The characters are so good! Don't write crappy things for me! ! !
Why can a prince be a minister?
It's so beautiful, I'm really moved, I'm in tears
Oh my god, what kind of plot was this about the Palace of Hell in the previous life! All members be
Madam, will the extra chapter be updated today? [Crying]
Sprinkle flowers, he loves them so much
