Marrying a Husband in a Matriarchal Novel

Please add my new story, My Mother Is Reborn, to your reading list!

Jiang Lai died and transmigrated to a female-dominated world. Her mother had died, and her father had passed away long ago, but they had left her with a childhood betrothal. Since arranged marriages were a bad idea, Jiang Lai decided to call off the engagement.

Carrying the marriage contract and betrothal token, Jiang Lai went to her intended's home. Hearing angry shouting from inside the courtyard, she raised her hand and knocked hard. Her heart softened, and she brought the poor, fragile husband-to-be home with her.

Who knew that this seemingly frail and pitiful man was actually the fake young master who had been switched at birth and thrown out years ago? Cast out of his home, he harbored a grudge and dreamed of returning to the capital one day to trample underfoot everyone who had humiliated him.

Jiang Lai had brought him home on impulse, but had no desire to get involved in his tangled web of love and hatred. She wrote up a separation agreement early on to set him free. But as time passed, her frail, pitiful husband-to-be began acting more and more strangely toward her, and eventually didn't want to leave at all. Jiang Lai reasoned with him and appealed to his feelings, finally persuading him to go back.

Jiang Lai thought she was finally free. But on the very first day she arrived in the capital to take the imperial examinations, someone bundled her up and carried her off to the bridal chamber.

In the bridal chamber, her frail husband-to-be approached her in an extravagant wedding gown. His face was exactly the same as her intended's.

"What? They look exactly alike?!"

Two: My Husband Is Reborn

Zhu Mingyu was the legitimate son of the less-favored second branch of his family. Though his beauty had made him famous in the capital, he had known since childhood that he would be married off to benefit his clan.

He followed his family's wishes and married the daughter of Prince Jin, only to suffer endless humiliation and abuse.

Reborn, he refused to let his family dictate his future again. Just as he was making plans for his marriage, he suddenly heard that his cousin insisted on taking his intended bride.

His cousin had been reborn too!

Zhu Mingyu happily agreed, then cheerfully climbed into the bridal sedan bound for the home of a young general who needed a marriage to ward off bad luck.

Who could have guessed that the young general, who had been gravely wounded and beyond recovery, would get better day by day after marrying him?

Zhu Mingyu's married life was peaceful and sweet. He and the young general grew ever more loving, and he even received an official title.

His cousin, who had stolen the marriage, suffered the same torment Zhu Mingyu had endured in his previous life. Unable to accept it, he stormed into the general's residence to confront him.

Zhu Mingyu took his wife's hand and smiled with delight.

Three: My Husband Pretends to Be a Woman

In this female-dominated society, Lu Yuqing had to disguise himself as a woman to attend the academy and pursue his studies.

On his first day, Lu Yuqing ran into his roommate and fellow student, Jiang Lai.

Under Jiang Lai's meaningful gaze as she looked at his undergarments, Lu Yuqing feigned calm and hid them away. With no other choice, he threw his own personal servant, who was also disguised as a woman, under the bus. "These belong to my personal servant. Please avert your eyes..."

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow. "I see. Then I was indeed out of line."

The students behind her teased him. "Who knew you were such a rake, Sister Lu? You even brought your personal servant to the academy!"

From then on, rumors spread throughout the academy that Lu Yuqing had brought a servant with him to study and was carrying on with him.

Lu Yuqing endured the resentful stare of his personal servant. "..."

Lu Yuqing decided Jiang Lai was his nemesis and resolved to stay far away from her.

But somehow, she kept turning up everywhere.

She was there when his classmates dragged him off to bathe with them, and she was there when he accidentally got hurt... She even helped him every time, and Lu Yuqing gradually changed his opinion of her.

Just as he began to think Jiang Lai had helped him out of simple camaraderie, he discovered she had known all along that he was a man...

Four: The Male Lead of a No-CP Story Became My Husband

Jiang Lai transmigrated with a System and became the young master of a female-dominated demon clan. The System said she had a mission to save someone's fate. But hundreds of years passed. Jiang Lai had traveled all across the world and still hadn't found her target. The System had gone silent, too.

Jiang Lai had completely accepted her new role. She had forgotten about the System and the person she was supposed to save.

Then, during an internal clan struggle, Jiang Lai was gravely wounded and taken in by a man. The moment she opened her eyes, the System, which hadn't appeared in ages, sprang back to life in her mind. [Mission target detected! Mission target detected! Establish a relationship with the target as soon as possible! Complete the rescue mission!]

Jiang Lai took a good look at the man who had just entered, and her eyes lit up. She liked him at first sight! He was exactly her type in every way!

Jiang Lai happened to need a husband for her clan's young master. She decided to marry him and complete the mission at the same time!

She acted on the idea at once. The young clan master looked earnestly at the man and said, "You saved my life, so I'll repay you by marrying you!"

Xie Xingzhi laughed at Jiang Lai's antics and reached out to pat the little girl's head. "All right. How about you eat something first?"

Jiang Lai thought his reaction was a little strange. She looked down and realized that her serious injuries had turned her into a tiny, three-headed-tall child. Standing up, she barely reached Xie Xingzhi's knees...

Jiang Lai was frustrated, but she didn't care. She decided to cling to Xie Xingzhi while she still looked like a child! If she built up their affection now, they could get married and share a bridal chamber as soon as she recovered!

Xie Xingzhi had originally been the tragic, powerful male lead of a classic wish-fulfillment story. He was indifferent by nature, yet compassionate toward all living things. In the end, he sacrificed his life for the world. He thought death was the end, but after dying, he transmigrated to a strange female-dominated world.

To avoid being forced into marriage, Xie Xingzhi moved to the mountains and became a recluse, an oddball in the eyes of others. He thought he would spend the rest of his life alone, never expecting everything to change after he picked up a little girl.

The little girl said she wanted to marry him as soon as she woke up. Xie Xingzhi took it for a child's silly joke and laughed it off. He planned to take her to find her family once she recovered. But as her injuries healed, she grew up at an astonishing speed and insisted on staying by his side and marrying him...

Xie Xingzhi: "...You mean it?"

The little girl nodded vigorously. Looking at her determined expression, Xie Xingzhi sighed and gave in. "All right."

The little girl jumped for joy!

Jiang Lai had thought her husband was a mortal, frail and pitiful, someone she had to handle with the utmost care lest she accidentally kill him. So when a hostile demon clan arrived, Jiang Lai hurriedly shielded him, afraid to fight back in case he got hurt. Who could have guessed that this frail, pitiful mortal husband would wield a long sword, drive back three thousand demon soldiers, and protect her instead...
