[Male Lead's Blurb] Beauty is everywhere, and every brothel is filled with lovely women. The most carefree young man in the capital treats women like wine. He loves wine, but never gets addicted. The stronger it is, the clearer-headed he remains.
Then, one summer afternoon, he laid eyes on a fine wine from a border desert city.
Rong Liang fell for his good friend's fiancee, whom his friend had brought back from the frontier, at first sight.
He had heard that she once saved his good friend, fell in love with him when he had nothing, pursued him for years, helped him rise from the ashes and return to a life of glory, and never hid her love for him.
He had also seen her trapped in the capital's tangled web, bullied, hurt, and treated with cold indifference, yet still loving with unwavering devotion.
He knew even better that his friend didn't love her. Everything was a ploy, and their engagement was nothing but a secret scheme.
So, on the day the young woman fled her wedding, he readily took her outstretched hand and went home with her.
He didn't mind that her heart still held a moonlight that would never fade. This was only a diversion. Neither of them needed to take it seriously.
But in the end, he realized that it wasn't that he had fallen for her looks. He had simply fallen for her.
[Female Lead's Blurb] Yao Wan had also fallen for someone's looks twice.
The first time, after only two sips of wine, she risked her life to bring a noble young man, whose family had been confiscated and who was being exiled to the desert, back to an inn. Sadly, even after giving him everything, she couldn't get so much as a backward glance. In the end, she could only flee from a wedding that had been planned from the start. And, as a bonus... she ran off with the groom's playboy brother, who was being hunted.
The second time, looking at the handsome man she had accidentally brought home, she decided to take responsibility for him. This time, though, she knew that to him she was nothing more than a coarse wine that could quench his thirst. So she loved him humbly and reverently, sinking into the feeling yet keeping a clear head.
A story about two people who both know there can be no happy ending, stumbling along in search of one.
Their love is shallow, yet neither will ever let go.
P.S.:
1. The story begins after the female lead runs away from her wedding and takes the male lead home.
2. The male lead will have to work hard to win her back.
3. One-on-one romance. The female lead is devoted when she loves, but decisive when she lets go.

Mary Sue + old-school + love rivals

One moment she's seriously teaching a prince to appreciate calligraphy and painting, and the next, the quest system tells her to bare a shoulder and flirt with her eyes like the beauty in the painting.
The moment she finishes teaching someone that human nature is inherently good, a quest window tells her to immediately follow the chancellor into the bathhouse and attempt something indecent.
Spring is in full bloom, and the melodrama flows like a river. How did the person being trained end up being her?

[Otherworldly, Unfeeling Master and Disciple] A doctor cannot treat himself. The eldest disciple of Tianming Mirror, though mortal, stands shoulder to shoulder with the gods. From his high platform, he saves lives with one hand and calculates the fate of the world with the other. People revere him as a god. But he knows he's just a madman, a madman who lusts after his master.
P.S.:
1. Not quick transmigration. Characters and tropes fly everywhere. The female lead changes roles at different stages.
2. Everyone has one-sided feelings. The female lead starts out weak and grows strong, and shines on her own.
3. No logic, pure Mary Sue.
Theme: Good fortune and health begin with loving yourself
I'm a little regretful about the ending... It might be the merchants entering the store... Maybe it's the return of the old friend... But overall, it's more likely that the old friend will leave everything behind to pursue his wife, but... It's a bit uncomfortable. The two people who love each other don't really reveal their feelings, and the old friend still doesn't know if the cake is his son... Will there be any extras later~
What the hell is the heroine's character like? I'm so excited to see it.
Didn't you say that you started from escaping from marriage? How many chapters are there?
This ending is too random
