The Chaotic Daily Life of a Theatrical Couple

I'm planning to start either The Second Female Villain Comes to Her Senses or A Good Husband Is Made with a Rod next. If you're interested, feel free to check them out in my author profile!

[Strong yet gentle female strategist VS laid-back, do-nothing, henpecked husband]

*

Ye Congyi and Xie Yuancheng are young spouses known throughout the court. Deeply devoted to each other, they spend half their lives exhausting themselves to help the emperor secure his reign, only to lose their lives to a cup of poisoned wine when suspicion falls upon them.

Fortunately, Heaven looks kindly upon them, and she and Xie Yuancheng are reborn.

In this life, Ye Congyi no longer wants to handle everything herself and let others reap the rewards. Xie Yuancheng feels the same.

On their wedding day, the couple raises their cups and exchanges a smile. To hell with being regents. We're done!

Collect our salaries under the pretense of illness, stay out of court affairs, enjoy paid leave, and travel around the mountains. What's not to love?

The Second Female Villain Comes to Her Senses

[Brilliant lawyer who fights for the people VS charming ruler traveling incognito]

As Ke Ning lay dying, she had a dream and learned that she was actually a character in a story.

In the book, she is the male lead's beloved fiancee. But after the transmigrated heroine arrives, Ke Ning turns evil for no logical reason, becoming a brainless, jealous villain who does every bad thing imaginable. After the male lead wrings every last bit of value from her, he kills her with a single sword thrust, leaving her family destroyed.

Ke Ning: "..."

What a load of nonsense.

After waking from the dream, Ke Ning miraculously recovers without medicine. She heads straight to the male lead's residence and calls off the engagement and ends their friendship in one go!

Later, the heroine from the book comes to see her. "Huh? Why aren't you following the plot?"

Ke Ning: "I don't want him. You can have him."

"You can give him to me?" The original heroine laughs. "What a joke. I'm a modern woman from the twenty-first century. If I weren't being controlled by the plot, why would I ever want a man like him, a relic of feudal society?"

Ke Ning: "!"

So neither of us can stand that pathetic melon-headed loser!

In that case...

Let's join forces! Tear the scumbag apart! Open a law firm! Fight for women oppressed by the times!

When Xiao Yanchu ascends the throne, the people of Great Zhou are suffering through turmoil, with corrupt officials forming cliques and crooked bureaucrats everywhere.

So Xiao Yanchu travels incognito throughout Great Zhou. Wherever he goes, he opens a coffin shop right outside a corrupt official's residence.

Xiao Yanchu smiles. "I don't open this shop lightly. When I do, someone always gets sent off."

Later, on arriving in a small county town, he suddenly sees a bright-eyed woman smiling as she negotiates with local officials. "The old laws have flaws. New laws will be here in less than ten days."

The official says, "I've never heard of any new laws being issued by the court. How could a woman like you know about them?"

Ke Ning: "The ruler told me."

The official: "... What a load of nonsense!"

Xiao Yanchu: "?"

How did she know about the new laws he had only hastily drafted last night?

[Little Scene]

Ke Ning: "A noble family's education teaches me to understand propriety and right from wrong. It's not so I can make a scene and disturb the household for a man, crying, throwing tantrums, and threatening to hang myself. I'm not merely a housewife stuck in a grand mansion. Even if I were the empress in the vermilion-walled palace, I could still put up with the imperial harem."

A passing Xiao Yanchu, owner of the coffin shop: "Oh?"
