The Female Imperial Son-in-Law

[Full novel now complete] [Disguised as a man / married first, fall in love later / one-sided love becomes mutual / female-female couple] In her previous life, Qiu Che disguised herself as a man and took the imperial exams in her brother's place. For the so-called grand plan of her father and brother, she stopped at nothing to marry Li Qingwu, the most favored princess in the empire. Yet in ten years of marriage, she never so much as touched a hair on her wife's head. The day she became the most powerful chancellor in the court, she was killed by her own father. Her elder brother stepped over her corpse to achieve fame and success. And on a bitterly cold spring night, she died in silence at the Chancellor's residence. It was the wife she had never once looked at who gathered her remains, set the Chancellor's residence ablaze, then took her own life with a sword before Qiu Che's grave. When Qiu Che opened her eyes again, she had returned to the eighteenth year of the Zhenfeng reign. It was the year she had just passed the highest imperial examination, riding high on success. As she rode through the streets in celebration, she suddenly looked up and saw someone standing by a pavilion, surrounded by attendants, gazing quietly down at her. A cinnabar mole, crimson lips, beauty beyond compare. Her eyes held a blaze that would never burn out. It was only in this life that Qiu Che finally learned that the ill-fated bond she had believed she had gained through vile scheming in her previous life had actually been a relationship Li Qingwu had begged for with three bows and nine prostrations in the Golden Throne Hall, after exhausting every means to win it. Li Qingwu was the very model of a noble young lady, and this was the one and only time she ever rebelled. She was also the person the other had longed for, night after night, without ever attaining.

For over a decade, this was the deepest impression everyone around Gu Yue had of her. She was a model student in her teachers' eyes and a well-behaved girl to her classmates. Neither fat nor thin, neither pretty nor plain: ordinary was her calling card, and a humdrum life was her lot. But no one knew that this quiet, withdrawn honor student by day would reclaim her original, stunning appearance at night, wield a curved blade and become an asura, walking the edge of a knife again and again until she flawlessly completed the missions assigned by her superiors. Wherever she went, not a blade of grass remained. Still young, she had already become the deputy head of the National Anomaly Management Bureau. She had a codename, one that let her run rampant throughout the entire world of supernatural powers: The White Reaper. By chance, at the tail end of a harvesting mission, she saved the life of the most arrogant and overbearing rich girl in her class, and gave her a hand while she was at it. The young lady stared blankly at her, as if she had been stunned by her looks, or perhaps scared out of her wits. ...And just like that, Gu Yue found herself being followed around.
