This is a story I'm planning to write.
Fu Qingqiu, the fourth daughter born to a concubine in the family of the Viceroy of Liangjiang, was bound to an Escape Marriage System.
"Escape what?" Fu Qingqiu was chewing on a bowl of shaved ice. In the sweltering summer heat, she almost thought the cicadas were so loud they were bothering her eyes.
"Esca...pe mar...riage system." Bright, translucent yellow text floated in the air, more eye-catching than the cicadas were loud. "Mission objective: Escape the marriage (0/7). Mission reward: Extend your father's lifespan."
The bowl of shaved ice fell from Fu Qingqiu's hands.
Ye Congshao, the eldest son of the salt merchant family, had no idea what had gotten into his father. The old man insisted on arranging his marriage to a woman who had escaped from three engagements.
Her first engagement was to the grandson of the Liangjiang Surveillance Commissioner. She climbed over a wall and ran away.
Her second was to a newly crowned top scholar from Lord Ma's household. She dug a tunnel and escaped.
Her third was to the magistrate of Yangzhou. She tricked her wet nurse into taking her place at the wedding.
Ye Congshao was dragged to her home, and just as he passed beneath her wall, an object hit him squarely on the head.
"This woman really is my curse!"
Ye Congshao was waiting to see what other stunt Fu Qingqiu would pull at the wedding. But when he lifted her veil on their wedding night, he saw a delicate beauty with tear-filled eyes, as frail and lovely as a winter butterfly beneath the lamplight.
Damn, he was smitten.

1. This is not a rigorous System story!
2. Ancient-era marriage first, love later. Lots of melodrama!
Blurb for the pseudo-sibling story being updated next door:
Ye Yunman was a promising young woman with a house and a car, until one day she went blind, died, and transmigrated. Afterward, she wanted to rail against heaven, earth, and her ancestors alike.
But people need their dignity, and they get hungry if they skip meals. She would have to make a plan for how to live freely in the old world.
Hmm, maybe that big brother who suddenly appeared could be worth cultivating.
Ye Hongxiu's life before the age of eight: a leaky roof over a room with broken tiles and crumbling walls.
Ye Hongxiu's life after the age of eight: a roller coaster every single day.
The road to advancement is no easy path.
Everyone said he owed his smooth life and prosperous career to Emperor Duanhe's favor. But they didn't know he had to endure a thousand cuts, abandon his true self, suffer separation from the ones he loved, and weather the years to walk that road.
Fortunately, through all of life's partings and reunions, she was still by his side.
Fourth Prince Ji Di: "Sir, I f*** your sister."
Ye Hongxiu smiled and snapped his writing brush in two.
Don't think I can't deal with you just because you're royalty, you little brat.

1. How can a sickly, twisted little sapling grow into a tree with a trunk thick enough for her to cling to? Hmm? How did it get bent out of shape while no one was looking?
2. Transmigration and rebirth from infancy.
3. Contains a small amount of wuxia elements.
4. I like far-fetched plots, so expect plenty of new settings and storylines.
5. Pseudo-siblings, no blood relation. They will sever their familial ties later!
Theme: Girls should strive to pursue happiness!
