[Next up: Twin Substitutes, a story of "Sister-in-law, open the door, it's me, your brother"]
[Money-minded working maid x proud, haughty, hopelessly romantic young heir]
Lian Yi was just trying to get by as a maid at the Prince of Shu's residence. She didn't dare work too hard and hoped to save enough money to earn her freedom and return to her hometown.
Things were going well until she accidentally offended the young heir. From then on, she had to walk on eggshells.
The young master was petty to an absurd degree. Not only did he hold a grudge against her, he had people follow her and hid a voodoo doll in her room to scare her.
Lian Yi was on tenterhooks, constantly trying to find out when she could return to her hometown of Yangzhou.
When the day she gained her freedom finally came, she took her savings and left. Who could have guessed the young heir would chase her all the way? Lian Yi panicked, kicked him hard, and ran for her life.
The young heir Murong Cheng realized that the maid at his side had a crush on him. Moved by her persistence, he magnanimously decided to return her affection.
He had people fuss over her and even deigned to make a cloth doll in her likeness, but she ignored him completely.
On the day she gained her freedom, he had meant to demand an explanation, but she kicked him before he could say a word.
Murong Cheng tossed and turned, clutching his injured leg. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he resolved to find her and demand answers.
Months later, Lian Yi was back in her hometown, selling things at a street stall, when a pair of filthy embroidered boots stopped in front of her. She looked up, and half her body went cold.
How could a noble young heir hold such a grudge?
Murong Cheng forced Lian Yi to take him home, drawing the entire neighborhood's attention.
Lian Yi: "It's hard to explain where he came from. If I say he's a local specialty I brought home from my job, would you believe me?"
Murong Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Ridiculous. I'm obviously the romantic debt you incurred back in Shu."

-------Preorder: Twin Substitutes-------
[Cautious, proper widow sister-in-law x jealous, manipulative twin brother-in-law]
"When twins are born, aristocratic families separate them and raise them apart to prevent a struggle between the legitimate eldest sons."
Before her husband Qiu Huaixi passed away, Liang Yun had no idea he had a twin brother.
She never imagined she would inherit both the family estate and her brother-in-law, whom she had never met.
Her husband's family urged her, saying this was all to preserve the estate Huaixi had built. Liang Yun only had to guide the younger brother as needed and was not expected to fulfill a wife's duties.
At first Liang Yun refused, but the moment she met Qiu Yanqing, she was captivated by his features, which were nine-tenths identical to her late husband's. She helped him deceive everyone and play his brother's part.
Qiu Yanqing had known since childhood that he had a twin brother. Everyone who saw him said, "You're naturally impatient. Even if you look alike, you're nowhere near as good as your brother."
Worse, even after his brother's death, the Qiu family arranged for Liang Yun to teach him how to play Qiu Huaixi.
He hated her along with the rest of them. If everyone thought her the model of a dignified, virtuous wife, then he would lead her astray and drag her down from her pedestal.
When he visited her that night, he put on a hurt expression and embraced her with ulterior motives. "What would be so wrong with pretending I'm him? It would comfort both of us..."
He schemed his way into becoming Liang Yun's real husband. As it turned out, being Qiu Huaixi wasn't so bad.
But Liang Yun said, "Don't come into my room again. You're not him, and you can't be his substitute."
Qiu Yanqing scoffed. What a joke. Of course he wasn't a substitute.
A few days later, Liang Yun took a concubine for him and asked to divorce him.
Furious, he gritted his teeth, but could only plead softly, "Give me one more chance. Please don't leave... I'll be his substitute."

It is a very heart-warming article, with full and interesting characters, and the plot does not fall into clichés. Unlike most of the current "conventional" articles, the writing style is also very good. Many sentences are heart-warming and make people cry when read. It is a rare sweet article. The relationship is also step-by-step. There is no falling in love at the beginning. The male protagonist is in love but at the same time he is sensible and funny, and has his own ideas. The heroine is career-minded, but kind and cute. She has her own plans for things, and she doesn't care about love. The supporting characters are well-cast, and the secondary CP is not long but is also very cute! A very favorite article.
After reading it, it is a very, very heartwarming article. I feel warm after reading the corpse. The male protagonist is not a scumbag, the female protagonist is missing, there are no weird relatives, no evil mother-in-law, and no female competition. It is really a beautiful and heart-warming story like a fairy tale. The heroine who is obsessed with money is hard-working and kind but not naughty, the male protagonist who is a bit silly is a paper tiger, and every character in the article is lively and cute.
Watched it again! It's so innocent and cute! I have a picture in my head and I'm scratching my head. I really want to draw it, but I can't! Looking forward to the next book, I hope it will become even more popular!
The persimmon is a frost-covered persimmon, so sweet!
Whoever marries Xiaohua will be blessed through eight lifetimes of cultivation!!!
Your baby has arrived at the dog planet safely and has not been demolished. It is very good-looking! The body has recovered, the check-in procedures have been completed, and the dormitory has been assigned. Your baby is very grateful to you for taking care of it! When it accumulates enough small bones and gives them to us, we will give it a chance to dream! You will also be notified before the dog is born again, so please be prepared to welcome it! Goodbye!
Will there be any extras? Such a warm and cute article. I like it!!
Wow wow wow, I cried to death after watching it in the middle of the night, I was so moved; the male and female protagonists are so pure and kind. The most beautiful things in the world are nothing more than this. I really love Xiao Hua.
Ahhhhhhhhhh it's over so quickly! I'm a little reluctant to part with it, the finale is so touching, can I have a side story in my lifetime?
