Reborn Before the General Could Collect My Corpse

My new novel, After I Stirred Up the Violent Crown Prince, is currently updating. Please add it to your collection! The blurb is at the end.

This novel: [Beautiful woman who doesn't realize she's flirting x aloof, celibate young general]

In her previous life, Qiao Shilian was the daughter of the Chancellor, a rare beauty with a face like a crabapple kissed by the sun and snow gathered beneath the moon. She was also the crown princess, personally chosen by the emperor, honored and celebrated beyond measure.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Shilian was falsely accused and put to death one day, her body abandoned in the wilderness.

Only after becoming a wandering spirit did she learn that the person who had framed her was the dear friend to whom she had confided everything, while the crown prince had fanned the flames behind the scenes.

Abandoned by everyone, she was cradled in the arms of Su Zhuoguang, a stranger to her, who grieved as he gathered her body for burial.

Qiao Shilian was stunned. She vaguely remembered that this brave young general, famed for his victories in battle, had never been interested in women and was as proud and icy as a nobleman could be.

*

Perhaps it was fate. Qiao Shilian was reborn at a time before her betrothal to the crown prince had been arranged. Now, if she wanted to avoid the tragedy of her previous life, her only expedient was to find someone else to marry.

At a palace banquet, carrying with her the image she had seen in her previous life, she gathered her courage as the banquet ended and called out to Su Zhuoguang: "Young General Su, can I marry you?"

The guests were shocked by her audacious words, then watched Su Zhuoguang with keen interest, eager to hear how the cold, heartless young general would respond.

Su Zhuoguang paused with his hand around his cup. His voice was clear and cold as frost. "No. What kind of propriety is there in a woman proposing to a man?"

The whole crowd burst into laughter. Qiao Shilian was mortified and turned to leave, but a long, elegant hand reached out in front of her and blocked her way.

Su Zhuoguang's tone was indifferent. "Where are you going?"

Qiao Shilian was baffled. "If I'm not leaving, what do you expect me to do?"

She turned back and met Su Zhuoguang's stern gaze. What he said next left everyone staring in shock, and the entire hall fell silent.

"I'll come to propose tomorrow morning."

After marrying into the Su family, Qiao Shilian had two favorite pastimes.

One: Knowing full well that her enemy had fallen for the crown prince, she brought together that enemy's rival and the crown prince.

Two: Flirting with her aloof husband, openly and quite properly, right in front of everyone.

The ever-frosty man showed little reaction, and indulged her without restraint.

Meanwhile, the crown prince, who couldn't stop thinking about her, was consumed with jealousy, yet could only watch them exchange sweet nothings at every banquet.

Qiao Shilian thought this was wonderful, far better than giving her sincere love to a dog in her previous life.

But while she was busy enjoying these little games of manipulating people's hearts, she went too far.

At the banquet, Su Zhuoguang leaned close and murmured hoarsely, "A Lian, are you just going to start the fire and leave me to clean up?"

Reading Guide:

1. Both are virgins. A devoted one-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. Sweet romance, marriage first and love later, focused on the relationship.

3. The novel was polished after completion, so it differs from pirated copies. Thanks to everyone who supports the official version!

4. To clarify the later part of the blurb: the "enemy's rival" only desires imperial power, not the crown prince. The heroine brings her and the crown prince together because they each get something out of it. She isn't harming anyone or pushing someone into the arms of a scumbag.

Sweet romance, After I Stirred Up the Violent Crown Prince

[Frailty of body, strength of will, sickly beauty x mad in body and mind crown prince]

Cen Jushuang was born frail and sickly, a famous beauty in poor health who rarely left home or met people.

Yet somehow, she shared a secret with the crown prince, a man with whom she had no connection whatsoever.

Everyone in the capital knew that Crown Prince Pei Shu was a madman. He had an exceptionally handsome face, but inside he was violent and tyrannical.

She once stumbled upon the crown prince in the midst of a fit of madness. He forced a bloodstained knife into her hand, trying to teach her how to kill.

From that day on, Cen Jushuang believed every rumor and kept her distance from Pei Shu.

Carrying this secret with her, she encountered the crown prince again at a palace banquet.

Pei Shu tested her in every way, checking whether she had let the secret slip and revealed that he had killed someone that day.

Cen Jushuang kept her mouth shut. In an attempt to get away from him, she made herself cough until her face was deathly pale, but he grabbed her by the shoulder.

He smiled wickedly, in excellent spirits, and brought up her cousin. "I'll tell you some good news: your dear cousin isn't a good person."

Her cousin was as pure as jade, as graceful as a fine tree, and had always treated her with the utmost care. Angered by the slander, Cen Jushuang retorted, "I think you're the one who's no good!"

Later, after Pei Shu had repeatedly made unreasonable demands, Cen Jushuang gradually discovered her cousin's true nature: pure as white jade on the surface, but a treacherous villain beneath.

Just as she was losing all hope, her cousin came to ask for her hand in marriage.

Seeing that the marriage was about to be settled, Pei Shu came especially to watch the show.

Cen Jushuang was fretting over how to refuse. Looking at the crown prince who had appeared right in front of her, her already fever-fogged brain short-circuited, and she kissed him.

From then on, Pei Shu couldn't stop thinking about that kiss.

*

After that, whenever spring fever became impossible to resist and she could no longer fight him off, Cen Jushuang regretted that she hadn't been thinking clearly when she provoked Pei Shu.

Every time she struggled to escape, he would pin her in the shadows, his voice unnervingly low. "I really am no good."

Theme: Change the fate of being forced into marriage, pursue freedom, and refuse to live as someone's dependent.
