Proud young lord x black-lotus princess
I
On a snowy night in Shengjing, Xue Zhongdie knocked on the Duke's residence gate. She presented the jade pendant her parents had left her, their last keepsake, and demanded that the young lord, Helan Jiang, honor his betrothal to her.
The exceptionally talented, dashing young lord had married a penniless nobody's daughter, said to be plain and utterly lacking in talent or virtue. All the noble young ladies in the capital were heartbroken, and they waited to see Xue Zhongdie make a fool of herself.
*
On their wedding night, as the handsome, dashing youth in blazing red held the red silk between them and drank the nuptial wine with her, Xue Zhongdie fell for him. But theirs was an ill-matched marriage, and once she fell in love, it was destined to end in utter ruin.
Helan Jiang hated the marriage forced upon him and did not love his ordinary wife. He neglected her, looked down on her, and watched coldly as others bullied and tormented her. He had no idea that the little moments they shared day after day were enough to take root in her heart and grow into a towering tree.
He always thought there would be plenty of time, never imagining that she might truly wither away. On the night her younger brother was critically ill, Xue Zhongdie tried to ask him to call a physician. She went to the tavern he frequented, only to be humiliated and forced to drink a cup of poison.
"Only when you're dead can the young lord marry the woman he loves with honor."
On a snowy night when Helan Jiang and Commandery Princess Minghua drank and laughed together, Xue Zhongdie drew her last breath in a forgotten corner.

When Xue Zhongdie awoke, she discovered that she had become the incomparable, noble eldest princess, who had spent her days in a temple under the pretense of illness.
It turned out that she had been born frail. The Imperial Astrologer had predicted a great calamity in her fate, so the emperor and empress had sent her to the Xue family with heavy hearts to avert the disaster. She was forbidden to return to the palace before turning eighteen.
The past was painful, its every corner in ruins. Xue Zhongdie decided she had merely dreamed it all and no longer wished to look back.
The rumors were absurd: they claimed that after losing his wife, Young Lord Helan was devastated, grew increasingly despondent, and declared he would never marry again. When Xue Zhongdie heard this, she simply smiled. At their next meeting, at a spring banquet, the proud young lord turned red-eyed the moment he saw her. His voice trembled as he asked, "Yaoyao, is that you?"
She merely turned away, coldly. "This princess does not know you. Please show some respect, Young Lord."

Blurb:
Yun Xiyu is the eldest senior sister of the Moon Concealment Sect, the best disciple of Immortal Venerable Yaohua, and the most beautiful woman, famed throughout the Three Realms. In the eyes of her fellow disciples, she is gentle, kind, and noble, the perfect goddess in everyone's heart.
But only Yun Xiyu knows that she is actually a vengeful demon who crawled out of hell. Her family was massacred when she was young, and she carries the blood of the demon race. She has long since ceased to be kind. She only wears a mask and befriends them to build a good reputation and climb to the top of the cultivation world, so she will never suffer the same fate as her mother.
Then one day, she discovers that she has been living inside a storybook all along. The story is about the romance between her fiance and her junior sister. She is nothing but a malicious white-lotus villainess who competes with her junior sister for the hero, only to meet a miserable end: her spiritual meridians are destroyed, and she is exiled to the barbarian wastes.
Yun Xiyu refuses to be a sacrifice for their earth-shaking romance. Since nothing she does makes any difference, she stops pretending. At the Gathering of Ten Thousand Sects, she reveals her demon bloodline, leaves the Moon Concealment Sect, and goes to the demon realm to join the story's most ambitious villain, the young Demon Lord He Xuanyi.
She diligently manages the demon realm's thirteen provinces and devotes herself to its development, but the Demon Lord only wants to date her.

A beautiful, cunning flirt who hides her dark side x a pure-hearted, loyal demon lord
A career-minded heroine and a love-struck hero
Theme: Even in the depths of darkness, keep the light in your heart
The male protagonist's emotional change was so abrupt and awkward. He didn't even touch her after two years of marriage, but then they met each other affectionately after they escaped. It's really hard to accept. It's normal for the female protagonist to hate him. There is no camaraderie between the two of them. . . Might as well engage in pseudo-orthopedic stimulation with her unrelated brother. . .
In any case, he didn't show up when he was able to protect the heroine. He was proud of his identity, so his love is not pure. The heroine can understand it now. This is right. I hope he won't force the heroine to be beautiful in the end. I think Brother Si is good. Brother Prince is also very good to his sister. No one can see it clearly.
When the male protagonist knew that the news that he was going to marry his female partner was spread all over the street, his first reaction was not to rush home and explain to the female protagonist, but to meet the female protagonist first to confirm the rumors. If he really cared about it, shouldn't his first reaction be to fear that the other party would be angry and sad, so he immediately went to her to explain to her and then take her to meet the female protagonist? I really can't feel the love the male protagonist has for the female protagonist. Instead, there is a far-fetched feeling that because he is the male protagonist, he must love the female protagonist. Of course, the male protagonist is not a scumbag. He was forced into this marriage in the first place. As a woman, an old pious woman who loves to torture women is the most disgusting. If you are so disrespectful, I will kowtow to the eldest princess more in the future.
It is recommended that the author practice with modern novels first. People in ancient times cannot speak so straightforwardly. Dialogues do not need to be finished all at once. There can be back and forth. Action descriptions can use more accurate words. It is better to use less words like "

It's a bit illogical to say that they are exactly the same. There should be changes. Otherwise, the queen must not just feel familiar to the eyes and not be able to recognize her.
The colloquial and modern feel in the article is too strong
