Two Husbands Spoil Their Beauty (Reborn)

[Marriage first, love later / later, he forcefully takes her back as she flees while pregnant / male lead with a split personality]

[Upcoming stories fall into the sweet romance and Cao Cao series. The October release is Marrying My Ex-Husband.]

On the night of her shotgun wedding, Jiang Pei came face to face with her former husband, who had become emperor.

He arrived clad in armor, asking for a cup of wedding wine to warm himself.

Outside the window, torrential rain poured. The groom had vanished, and the person beside her at the wedding ceremony was someone from her past.

Tears filled the beauty's eyes. With nowhere left to turn, she could only plead in a mournful voice, softly calling, "Your Majesty."

He smiled warmly and challenged her: "A-Nu, why don't you guess which version of me is standing before you today?"

She had deceived him, lied to him, and then abandoned him. She deserved to suffer the consequences.

Jiang Pei had a secret she could tell no one: she was reborn.

To secure a life of wealth and honor, she married Shen Zhiyan, a gentleman born into a prominent family that had flourished in Hedong for a century. One day, he would change the ruling dynasty.

After they married, they treated each other with respect and courtesy. Before long, she discovered that her husband had a secret he found difficult to speak of.

Most of the time, he was the dignified, gentle young master of a noble family. But sometimes his temperament changed completely, as if he had become someone else.

That other person would often lean close to her ear and ask, "Jiaojiao, am I better, or is Shen Zhiyan?"

Fortunately, her real husband never asked such ridiculous questions, so Jiang Pei could just about put up with it.

[Male Lead's Perspective]

Shen Zhiyan thought his wife loved him dearly, and that even after discovering his secret, she was still wholeheartedly devoted to him, until he began having bizarre dreams.

In his dreams, he was the founding emperor, while Jiang Pei was the last emperor's most favored consort.

He knew she was vain and cunning, and that she had never truly loved him. Even their unexpected wedding night had been entirely part of her scheme.

But what he found most unbearable was that one day, Jiang Pei ran away.

He captured her and brought her back, settling her in the most magnificent palace in the realm and adorning her beauty with chains of pure iron.

"A-Nu, we're the same kind of person."

Since she loved him, she should stay by his side forever.

Whether she joined him in pleasure or shared his everlasting infamy.

The Mute Girl Becomes Empress

[Sunny, mute heroine vs. gloomy, sharp-tongued prince] Childhood friends, sweet romance

[Heroine's Perspective]

When Qingqing was young, a great fire burned down her home and damaged her throat.

Later, a frail young master from a wealthy family needed a servant born under the sign of fire to wait on him, and by chance, he chose her.

The young master had no name. Everyone simply called him Erlang. As she devoted herself to serving him, she also made plans and saved money.

Most people in the world didn't understand sign language. Once she left Erlang, she would have to communicate with people by writing, and private school would surely cost a lot.

Whenever Erlang had nothing to do, he would watch her clumsily fiddle with an abacus, get annoyed, and teach her how to read and write.

Sometimes he would complain that she was clumsy, but even as he criticized her, he taught her. "If you really become a female merchant one day, remember to come back and pay me your tuition."

Later, when Erlang was sixteen, he returned to the imperial palace. He became a prince with power over everyone, and took a new name: Shen Ze.

Shen Ze didn't free her. Instead, he brought her into the palace, saying the Imperial Medical Bureau needed palace maids to test medicine, and since she had a speech disorder, she was the perfect candidate.

She gradually learned to say a few simple things, but just a few days later, enemy troops were at the gates.

Qingqing didn't know what a sheep-leading ceremony was, but she was worried about Erlang. He said he wasn't leaving.

She packed a small bundle, ran to him, and stammered, "Come with me. I'll earn money and support you. You won't have to herd sheep."

[Male Lead's Perspective]

Shen Ze knew his father had never intended for him to become emperor, but his elder brother wanted him to be the ruler of a fallen kingdom.

Now that his country had fallen, he had no ties left. The people had supported him, so he ought to defend the city and die for his country, buying time for his elder brother to flee south.

But he had never imagined that a woman would knock him unconscious and carry him away. He was like a newlywed bride, eating her food, drinking her water, and even being scolded by her.

That woman was Qingqing, the mute girl who had served him.

Qingqing said, perfectly reasonably, "You were supported by the people, so you should die for them. But now that I'm supporting you, you have to live for me."

He wasn't afraid to die, but Qingqing wanted to live, and she wanted to live comfortably.

For years afterward, as he reclaimed the land and returned the capital to Bianliang, he would never forget Qingqing standing with her hands on her hips, scolding him.

"What kind of achievement is dying? If you aren't even afraid to die, are you afraid to endure humiliation and live on?"

At the time, he thought that once he became emperor, the first thing he would do was marry her.
