Mind-Reading Eunuch × Face-Blind Crown Princess

Shen Qinghuan was spoiled and willful, and loved Crown Prince Pei Guyuan more than anything. But because of him, she died in that snowy storm.

Snow fell over the capital in August. Eunuch Xie Jinting, the Director of Ceremonial, personally gathered her remains and had a memorial tablet enshrined for her in a temple.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day before her wedding. She was about to marry into that same den of demons all over again.

Everyone thought she was hopelessly in love with Pei Guyuan, but she said, "I want Xie Jinting, the one by Your Highness's side."

The Crown Prince thought: He's only an eunuch. If she wants him, she can have him.

In a corner, the handsome face shrouded in gloom stiffened.

Xie Jinting, usually so cool and composed, looked at the smiling Crown Princess with an unreadable expression.

Shen Qinghuan knew he was mercurial, but he was so different from the man she remembered from her previous life that she couldn't help wondering whether he truly loved her.

When she learned that someone else had gathered her remains, Shen Qinghuan trembled in the arms of the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years.

What a ridiculous misunderstanding. After carrying on like this for so long, she still hadn't lost her head.

Shen Qinghuan crept off the chaise, but the sleeping Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years wrapped an arm around her waist. "Qingqing, where are you going?"

*The male lead's perspective:

Xie Jinting was an evil ghost risen from the underworld, cruel and merciless, his moods unpredictable.

Everyone feared this "ghost that howls at night." Only one person was bold enough to call him a castrated dog all day long.

She was such a good actress. Clearly a fox, she insisted on pretending to be a rabbit to fool him, begging the brush-holding eunuch for his favor while calling him a castrated dog and a dead eunuch in her heart.

As time went on, her muttering grew more frequent, and she began treating him a little differently.

When others called him a "castrated dog" behind his back, she would lift her clear, bright eyes and say the most brazen things to him.

Xie Jinting prided himself on being skilled at manipulating the powerful, but he had never used her. He didn't dare make even the slightest mistake where she was concerned.

Yet one day, the former Crown Princess gazed at someone else with shining eyes and smiled. "The one I love has always been Director Xie, from beginning to end."

But although she kept saying she loved him, she turned around and claimed she'd mistaken him for someone else, then tried to leave. Xie Jinting laughed softly.

Then let's make the mistake a reality.

Coming soon: Aren't You the Villain? (Women-Respecting World)

Cool, gentle, irresistible charmer × Mad, ruthless, darkly adored big shot

Yu Yunji transmigrated into a book, as a cannon-fodder villain who was soon to die. On the very day she arrived, she married the biggest villain in the whole story as her husband.

She treated human lives like dirt, while Gu Qi was a mass murderer. Together, they were the greatest obstacle facing the protagonists.

Looking at the mad villain before her, Yu Yunji thought: I don't smile because I was born not to.

To stay alive, she avoided the imprisonment plot and steered clear of every event that could threaten her life.

Her husband loved her imperial sister, so she graciously gave him up.

But when she decided to take a concubine, the villain, who spent every day making a scene and threatening to kill himself, came at her with a knife.

Gu Qi seemed to have changed a little.

Forced to marry Yu Yunji in place of his stepbrother, Gu Qi hated her and swore to bring them all down.

He prepared for every eventuality, but Yu Yunji would ask if he was in pain, and often looked back to see how he was feeling.

Gu Qi: ...I can't figure her out, but maybe she isn't so bad?

Everyone knew the current emperor had a jealous husband who had made a name for himself by killing people in the capital.

By night, beneath the warm glow of red candles and bed curtains, Gu Qi wore a veil of red gauze, golden bells tied around his ankles. He looked at her with wounded eyes. "My wife, don't you like this?"

Yu Yunji retreated several steps. "Wait, aren't you the villain?"

1. The male lead is a real handful early on, a madman who crawls through the shadows.

2. Male pregnancy, with the male lead suffering. The crazier he is at first, the more pathetic he becomes later.

3. Later on, the male lead is a lovesick little sweetheart. Chastity and lovesickness are the best dowry (hands on hips).

4. He has to win her back, with the man pursuing the woman.

5. A story written to satisfy my own cravings, set in a fictional dynasty.
