Name: Hoping Every Day That My Parents Will Make Up
Author: Mo Zizhe

Synopsis

1. Lu Qingyan was born with skin as smooth as ice and bones as beautiful as jade. After the Lu family fell into trouble, the Empress Dowager assigned her to the Regent, and she became his only concubine.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Regent held great power, and serving him was the greatest fortune she could have in three lifetimes. Only she knew how strict he was in private.

When she became pregnant, she had to tread on eggshells. Before the child was even born, she had already attracted the jealousy of the future princess consort and nearly died in a fire.

After fleeing the prince's manor, she never set foot in the capital again.

It was only when she was kidnapped and taken to the capital shortly before her death that she learned her child had not been stillborn. The Qin Prince's consort had stolen the baby, who was then abused to death.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back two years in the past. This time, she resolutely went to the capital.

What she didn't know was that her son had also been reborn.

2.

Only as six-year-old Gu Chen was taking his last breath did he learn the truth: he was not the young heir of the Qin Prince's household.

After he died, his birth mother followed him, while his birth father went gray overnight...

When he opened his eyes again, he was back at age four. Dragging his battered little body along, he promptly escaped and stumbled into the Regent's manor, wrapping both arms around a man's leg and calling out in a clear, sweet voice, "Daddy!"

*

Everyone said the Regent had gone mad.

Not only had he snatched his younger brother's son, he was also frantically searching the entire city for someone who was "already dead."

Little did they know that Lu Qingyan had been hiding in the shadows all along. Ever since Gu Chen got a little courtyard of his own, a small cloth doll, a packet of candied fruit, a new set of clothes, and other things would occasionally appear on his little table...

Gu Chen happily put them away, thinking: Even if Mother doesn't love Father, she loves me most!

Later...

Little Lu Chen rested his chin in his hands, fretting: How can I get Mother to accept Father?

Later still...

Little Lu Chen angrily shoved a certain father away. "You scumbag! Get away from me! Mother deserves someone better!"

A recommendation for one of my upcoming novels:

After I Divorced Him by Mo Zizhe

Gu Yue was a little girl brought back from the wilds by a bandit stronghold. As she grew into a beauty, her second older brother began eyeing her with ill intent.

Gu Yue didn't like him, so she copied his example and rescued a pretty boy from the wilds herself.

The pretty boy was sickly and looked like a useless weakling. Making him marry her seemed better than letting the brothers turn against each other later.

Not long after they married, Gu Yue discovered she was the young granddaughter of Grand Councilor Lu, and that she had an arranged marriage partner who would come to attack the stronghold after returning victorious from war!

Before leaving, Gu Yue gave the pretty boy a divorce letter, set him free, and went to the capital to find her arranged marriage partner.

Pei Chengyuan was born into the imperial family and was a valiant warrior. His life had gone smoothly, with only two blemishes:

First, he was caught off guard and ambushed while returning victorious from war, then rescued by a female bandit who forced him into marriage.

Second, she divorced him with a single letter.

Back in the capital, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. Just then, his arranged marriage partner showed up at his door.

Old Madam Lu said, "My little granddaughter was raised in a temple from a young age because of her frail health. She hasn't met many people and is a little shy. Once you are married, please be understanding if she does anything improper."

Pei Chengyuan looked behind her. Before he could say, "I'm sorry," the young girl smiled shyly, revealing a face he would recognize even if it were reduced to ashes.

Pei Yan crushed the cup in his hand in an instant.

Gu Yue, who had been thinking about how to use pillow talk after marriage to persuade him to spare the stronghold, froze completely. "P-Pretty boy?!"

My upcoming novel: After Being Played, I Became the Empress by Mo Zizhe

The thing Lu Lan regretted most in her life was grabbing some random man to be her fiance at fourteen so she could avoid the imperial selection.

What she regretted even more was that after her father was defeated in battle and went missing, her fiance's family immediately turned on her and broke off the engagement: "The status of the Marquis of Zhenbei's household is beyond your reach."

Lu Lan couldn't swallow that insult. She wasn't good enough for them?

She immediately set her sights on the true master of the marquis's household:

The Zhenbei Prince, Pei Jiran, who struck fear into the enemy army and was rumored to be "incapable."

#If you're going to marry, marry the most ruthless man#

#If I can't be your wife, I'll be your aunt#

Her seduction plan went smoothly:

They "ran into each other" at a medical clinic, and she let slip, "If Your Highness really has a hidden ailment... I can treat it."

The man's eyes were deep and dark. "Oh? Then let's see."

On the day they got engaged,

She went to the marquis's household to make them eat their words, and her former fiance also rushed over in a cloud of dust.

The moment he saw him, her former fiance's legs gave way and he dropped to his knees. "Long live Your Majesty!"
