[Upcoming novel Spring Love Can't Be Locked Away. Blurb at the very bottom. Please add it to your collection.]

---- Blurb ----

Jiang Shiyu was the late-born daughter of the current prime minister, and had been cherished and pampered since childhood.

At sixteen, she got her wish and married Pei Huaishi, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

But before they could consummate the marriage, an unnatural phenomenon appeared in the sky. For no reason she could understand, a transmigrator took over her body, trapping her consciousness in endless darkness.

After five long years, she finally reclaimed control of her body through sheer force of will. Just as she was about to tell Pei Huaishi of all she had suffered, he suddenly pointed his sword at her. His face dark, he snarled, "You're not her. Get out and give her body back!"

Jiang Shiyu's heart turned to ash. She grabbed the blade and slit her own throat without hesitation.

Her body was hers to command.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back on her wedding day. That very night, she ran outside the city, dug a pit, and waited for the strange phenomenon to appear so she could bury herself alive.

But she waited and waited, and no phenomenon came. Instead, Pei Huaishi arrived, carrying his own memories of being reborn.

He roughly hauled her out of the pit, then grabbed her by the throat as if he had gone mad. "You are not allowed to die before she comes back."

Jiang Shiyu was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, reduced to Pei Huaishi's pastime in his idle hours. Until the transmigrator appeared, she would never be free.

Later, when the Third Prince rebelled and marched straight for the Taiyuan Hall, Jiang Shiyu seductively lifted the chin of her childhood sweetheart and pointed at Pei Huaishi with a smile. "Kill him and chop him up to feed the dogs, and I'll marry you."

Upcoming novel blurb:

Lin Zhao made two mistakes in her life.

First, she stole the marriage meant for the Minister of Works' legitimate eldest daughter and made the new top scholar her consort.

Second, she did everything she could to please Song Huanming, giving in to him at every turn. They were married for three years but shared a bed fewer than five times. She spoiled him until he grew brazen enough to keep a mistress at another residence. When the affair came to light, Lin Zhao killed the mistress but did nothing to Song Huanming. He repaid her by poisoning her with a cup of wine.

Lin Zhao regretted it.

She awoke in the second year of their marriage and deliberately provoked Song Huanming, driving him to the other residence. At midnight, she set the place ablaze herself, burning the adulterous pair in their bed to ashes.

Having vented her anger, Lin Zhao felt wonderful. She kept male lovers in the Princess's residence and spent her days in revelry.

During a spring outing, Lin Zhao and one of her lovers played by the Yun Canal. She accidentally fell in and struck her head on a sharp rock, forgetting everything about her past.

The current emperor couldn't bear to see his sister without someone by her side to care for her, so he chose a rising star from the army to become Lin Zhao's second consort.

The young general was a formidable martial artist, handsome as Pan An, broad-shouldered, slim-waisted, and powerfully built. Lin Zhao was utterly smitten.

On their wedding night, the young general leaned over her and bit her lips. Just as Lin Zhao's gaze grew hazy, he suddenly gripped her face and said coldly, "Your Highness, take a good look. Do you know who I am?"

Lin Zhao was horrified. Her memories came flooding back.

Her second consort was Song Huanming, too.

That bastard had faked his death, abandoned literature for the military, and in just one year transformed himself into a young general decorated for his service in battle.

Lin Zhao tried to escape, but Song Huanming pinned her hands and continued making love to her. Their breathing fell into rhythm. When they were done, Song Huanming told her, "Your Highness, I killed you once, and you killed me twice. You still owe me a life."

Lin Zhao stared blankly. What did he mean, she had killed him twice?

Reading guide:

1. A combative couple, each wants the other dead.

2. The male lead's former mistress once tried to kill the female lead. The female lead was justified in killing her.

3. In her previous life, the female lead abused her power and forced the male lead into marriage. She is not a perfect person.
