Reborn Black-Hearted Beauty vs. Steel-Spined Roughneck Prince

1. Si Jiaojiao was just like her name: she'd never suffered a day in her life and was spoiled by nature. The youngest daughter of the Prime Minister's household, she'd been cherished by her parents since childhood.

Yet she fell for a poor farmer's son and willingly traded her finery for an apron, cooking and serving him.

Three years later, because her mother-in-law complained that she had borne no children, her husband took his cousin from the village as a favored concubine.

Si Jiaojiao was heartbroken, but she knew that having no heir was a serious matter, so she could only swallow her anger. She even treated the child born to the concubine as her own.

She never expected that after her husband was promoted, the first thing he did was imprison her. It turned out that all along, she'd been drinking medicine that prevented pregnancy!

It turned out this whole family had been climbing the ladder by sucking her dry. And that despicable man had been a childhood sweetheart with his cousin all along!

2. Given a second life, Si Jiaojiao hardened her heart. She was determined to strip this whole family down to their very skin. "I was an idiot! A highborn idiot, at that!"

She also cherished her life, and knew she was outnumbered, so she sought protection from Huo Wuji, her brother's friend.

3. Huo Wuji was a prince of a different surname with a string of military achievements. Rumor had it he was violent and ruthless. A long saber hung at his waist, and countless souls had perished by it.

Si Jiaojiao swallowed her fear and went to him, hoping only that he could keep her safe.

She never expected him to wave a hand and have her thrown out of his residence.

Si Jiaojiao: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ I'm mad!

Huo Wuji looked at the young lady who had come looking for him. People in the capital went out of their way to avoid him, so what kind of friend would he have?

But the young lady showed up every day, crying and making a scene as she lamented her misfortunes. Huo Wuji thought of calling the authorities, but whenever he met her pitiful gaze and saw her delicate red lips, his heart softened.

By the time her wretched family had finally fallen into ruin, Si Jiaojiao clapped her hands and prepared to leave. A large, calloused hand caught her by the waist and held her fast. "Jiaojiao is a fine name. You belong right here, cradled in someone's palm."

The hot breath behind her made Si Jiaojiao shiver. She hurriedly waved her hands. "You heard wrong, you heard wrong. I came to the wrong person."

"Too late."

When the two returned to the capital, everyone in the Si family was dumbfounded. Why had their daughter brought back such a scourge? What a disaster!

Si Jiaojiao: "Sorry~ It was an accident."

A reborn heroine takes revenge on her scumbag ex, who then chases after her to win her back. No, he doesn't. Hehe.

Synopsis

*

Self-reliant, strong, scheming green-tea heroine x wastrel reborn hero who becomes an attention-seeking love-struck fool

1. Yue Zheng had spent fifteen years in the countryside as the daughter of a village ne'er-do-well when a group of people suddenly took her to the capital.

They told her she was the daughter of a wealthy family.

The very next day, they arranged her marriage to the so-called "scholar-prime minister in white."

Yue Zheng had admired scholars since childhood. With all the romantic hopes of a young girl, she prepared to marry.

On their wedding night:

Yue Zheng: "Wasn't he supposed to be a handsome scholar? What is this good-for-nothing?"

*

2. Before the wedding, He Xun thought his wife would be a delicate young noblewoman from the capital.

After the wedding, He Xun looked at the woman before him, who was pretty enough but otherwise vulgar and shameless, even calling him useless. He sneered. "They really will send any country bumpkin to Young Master He."

*

3. A year after they married, He Xun had been away from the capital for a year. Yue Zheng, left behind in the city, longed to divorce him and find a young scholar to marry. He Xun, stationed at the border, hoped to stay there forever and keep as far as possible from the shrew waiting for him at home in the capital.

After an accident, He, heir to the marquis, was struck by an arrow and lay unconscious for three days and nights. The first thing he said when he woke was, "Don't stop me! I'm going home to find my wife."

Everyone thought the arrow had scared the heir into wanting to return to the capital. Only he knew why he was going home: for the wife who had stood by him in his previous life.

Later, when the noblewomen of the capital envied how devoted the heir was to his wife and privately called Yue Zheng vulgar, the heir planted his long spear in the ground and told them, "I like women like her. The ones I can't stand are those delicate little flowers."

A Few Notes

The heroine isn't perfect and can be a little rough around the edges. If someone wrongs her, she'll get even. If she can't do it now, she'll wait a couple of days and get them later.

As for the hero~ he goes from wastrel to clingy sweetheart. He's absolutely smitten!

Because of the setup, the leads don't know each other well at first. There are some household intrigues, which the heroine solves with force. She's got brains too, but she prefers to punch people.
