Reborn as the New Emperor's White Moonlight

Ming Shu had forced her way into a marriage with Crown Prince Xiao Yiming four years ago. They seemed like a harmonious imperial couple, but in truth they were strangers sharing a bed.

He was eager to reclaim lost territory and spent every day in the Hall of Diligent Governance. Even though tradition required him to spend the first and fifteenth nights of each month with her, he rarely came.

On the rare occasions they met, Ming Shu saw a red string from the princess on his arm, so cold it seemed to seep into her bones.

Later, he went on campaign and was gone for half a year.

As Ming Shu lay on her sickbed, she heard the good news: the new emperor had routed Xiping and reclaimed the city, as well as the princess who had been sent away in a political marriage.

She neither cried nor smiled. After calculating the timing, she took out an imperial edict.

The bright yellow edict was glaring. Xiao Yiming frowned and said coldly, “I promised the Empress Dowager I wouldn’t depose you.”

Ming Shu smiled gently, unfurled the silk scroll, and read it aloud before everyone.

The edict stated that if one day she no longer wished to remain, she could use it to obtain a divorce.

In the pitch-black, bone-chilling night, the new emperor begged the empress to open the palace gates, but received no response.

Later, the gates were forcibly breached, but Phoenix Palace was already empty.

Two years later, Ming Shu woke up.

She heard that the emperor had gone mad over a woman, and was somewhat surprised.

He had done so much for the princess, yet she hadn’t been moved at all. She had actually run away.

Remembering the cold, unfeeling Xiao Yiming from the past, Ming Shu thought: Serves him right.

#Remarrying and finding your ex-husband officiating the wedding (the couple both pretend, then have their identities exposed; forced marriage)

Jianghu assassin Lu Yaojiao was beautiful and ruthless. During the few quiet years after retiring, she took the name Shen Lü and married a doctor.

The doctor had no strength to defend himself, but was exceptionally handsome, with snow-white skin and a face like carved jade. Aside from being taciturn and somewhat lacking in restraint in certain matters, their life together was quite harmonious.

Before long, she got tired of it too. Just as a letter from her organization arrived, Shen Lü disappeared without a trace during a great fire.

A few years later, Shen Lü had almost forgotten what he looked like.

Later, to make things easier, a young man from a noble family agreed to a sham marriage with her, as long as they could fool the only elder in his family.

Who knew that after playing the virtuous wife for a few days, she would still fail to get past that elder? Furious, she grabbed a knife that night and broke into the Prince’s residence, ready to reason with him.

Shen Lü slipped into the room under cover of night. Before she could even fight, he had pinned her against the wall. In the dim candlelight, she saw a fair, handsome face. As luck would have it, this elder was her former husband.

The man’s features were dark and menacing, his voice low and hoarse. “Does he know your hands get cold at night, and that you like to hold someone while you sleep?”

After more than ten years of martial arts training, Shen Lü still couldn’t push him away. “…” If you want to talk, then talk. Don’t bite me!

During the years he spent undercover, Xi Ce once met a young woman. He married her without observing the six traditional wedding rites, but she never complained.

Unfortunately, she died in that great fire.

Everyone said Xi Ce had gone mad. He not only resigned from his position as Commander, but spent years guarding the remains and ashes, murmuring a name all day and shutting himself away from the world.

Then, one year, he saw a young woman brought back by a junior member of his clan. She was gentle and considerate, and looked so much like her.

Xi Ce naturally rejected the request for the marriage. Behind the gauze curtains, his eyes bloodshot, he plotted to take her for himself.
