Synopsis

Size difference / age gap / sweet romance with a reborn heroine

Money-loving, flirtatious schemer beauty X wealthy older pure-love warrior

In her previous life, Sang Ling was married to Wen Ye at her family's arrangement.

But Wen Ye already loved someone else, and that love went unrequited.

Sang Ling didn't care.

Though cold, Wen Ye never begrudged her money or let her go without.

He was busy, and she could count on one hand the number of times she saw him in a year.

A husband who never came home and money she couldn't spend was undoubtedly a wonderful arrangement.

But then disaster struck, and Wen Ye died.

Sang Ling became a widow, and her life took a steep turn for the worse.

Before long, a bout of bitterly cold weather claimed her already frail body.

Reborn, Sang Ling found herself back at fifteen.

Even more unexpectedly, she ran into Wen Ye when he was young, deep in the mountains.

His injuries were severe, and he was unconscious.

Sang Ling stood beside him, thought for only a moment, and decided to take him home and save him.

Now Wen Ye held a lofty position and was brimming with confidence. He was practically a walking gold mine.

If she could marry him early in this life and start building up her fortune ahead of time, then by the time he died, she'd have saved enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

The only problem was that Wen Ye had married her in his previous life out of sheer necessity. How could she win him over this time?

*

Wen Ye had been a brilliant man all his life, but was ambushed and, by a stroke of luck, rescued.

His rescuer clearly looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen, yet claimed she was a widow.

Wen Ye scoffed inwardly, though his face betrayed nothing.

He merely thought: I wonder how her future husband would feel if he knew that his wife had already cursed him to death before he even married her.

Later, Wen Ye arrived with 128 sedan loads of betrothal gifts to ask for Sang Ling's hand.

Sang Ling's almond eyes gleamed with unmistakable mischief. She fluttered her lashes innocently and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't marry me because I'm a widow?"

Wen Ye gritted his teeth and strode toward her. Before Sang Ling could agree, he pulled her straight into his arms. "I've got another 128 loads. Will you marry me or not?"

Upcoming Novel

Mu Yun

The cherished daughter of the Jiang family was as beautiful as a flower, with a gentle and sweet nature.

Anyone who saw her couldn't help but soften, and even their voices grew gentler when they spoke to her.

Except Shen Du.

Shen Du made no secret of his loathing for Jiang Yunshu.

He treated her with icy cruelty, often bullying her until her eyes were brimming with tears.

Who could have guessed that the two of them would eventually become husband and wife?

Everyone thought Jiang Yunshu would have a hard life after marrying into the Shen family, and that she would be bullied even worse.

Yet after the wedding, Jiang Yunshu grew more and more radiant and well-kept. She showed not the slightest sign of being bullied.

Instead, it was Shen Du who became moody and volatile.

Someone said that once, he and a colleague went to Shen Du's study to discuss business.

They had barely started talking when they angered him.

Shen Du's face darkened, and he shouted hoarsely, "Get out! All of you!"

Everyone fled in a panic, completely baffled as to why Shen Du had suddenly flown into a rage, his ears turning red.

No one knew that after the crowd had dispersed, Shen Du roughly lifted the pretty face hidden beneath the desk.

His rough fingertips kneaded her moist, red lips without the slightest tenderness.

Breathing unevenly, Shen Du gritted his teeth. "Jiang Yunshu, have you had enough?"

*

In Shen Du's smooth-sailing life, he'd never encountered a woman as outrageous as Jiang Yunshu.

There was nothing he could do about her.

He couldn't even stop himself from gradually losing his heart in her gentle embrace.

Until one morning.

They were basking in the peaceful quiet after a night of intimacy.

Jiang Yunshu's soft fingertips brushed over an old scar on his back. She murmured, "I'm so glad you saved me in that alley back then. It must have hurt so much."

Shen Du's back stiffened, and his pupils trembled as he faced away from her.

He knew perfectly well he'd never saved anyone in an alley.

That scar was from the year he went to war with the army, a wound he'd sustained on the battlefield.
