Blurb:

Li Zhiyao had a dream.

In it, she was a supporting character, used and deceived by the male and female leads. She helped them achieve greatness, only to die a gruesome death in the end.

After waking up, she shed her arrogant, conceited personality from the book and started keeping a low profile, cautious in everything she did.

She settled down and played the part of a delicate little white flower.

When the story begins, Li Zhiyao crosses wits with the leads.

She shows up whenever they run into trouble, only to make things even harder for them.

The restrained, self-controlled male lead gradually goes mad, while the cool, unruffled female lead slowly loses her composure.

Li Zhiyao loves watching them hate her but be powerless to get rid of her.

As a princess of the former dynasty, she is a thorn in the side of many officials in Great Wei.

She has to deal with everyone at court who can't stand her.

And she has to fend off one assassin after another, all coming to kill her.

Assassins work for money, and Li Zhiyao may lack many things, but she has plenty of money.

Sometimes she even turns an assassin to her side, while making sure the male lead doesn't recruit him.

The assassin is useful, if a little pricey.

When she's rich, the assassin runs off with her money.

When she's broke, he comes back with money.

And it's the leads' money, no less.

Li Zhiyao claps her hands in delight.

*

Ji Wuya had never met such a heartless crybaby.

One moment, she was sobbing prettily in front of him, saying she had paid to save her life and begging him to show mercy.

The next, she was making a fool of him.

Reborn, he wanted to escape the fate of his previous life. In the end, his fate did change, but he fell into the hands of the notoriously arrogant and overbearing princess of the former dynasty.

Every day brings a new trap, and no two are alike.

The traps are everywhere.

Only now does he understand: he didn't come back to change his fate. He came back to survive a tribulation.

[Reader's Guide]

1. This is not a strong female lead novel or a face-slapping comeback power fantasy. The plot-to-romance ratio is 6:4, and the leads are each other's first love.

2. Neither lead is perfect; each has flaws of their own. After they awaken, they have many clashes with the second male and female leads. From the heroine's perspective, the second leads aren't good people either, and the second leads feel the same way about her.

3. The romance is not angsty! The plot might be.

Upcoming Novel Blurb

Qian Mingguang was born into an illustrious family, but as a child, she was kidnapped by human traffickers and, by a twist of fate, raised as the adopted daughter of a merchant family.

Fate had a strange sense of humor: at eighteen, she was beautiful, healthy, and fabulously wealthy.

The circumstances surrounding the events of her childhood were suspicious, so Qian Mingguang decided to return home pretending to be sickly and investigate the truth.

In this den of wolves, some people want her money, and others want her life.

Qian Mingguang plays along, gasping with every step before collapsing on the spot and spitting blood in front of everyone.

Everyone: !!!

-

Qian Mingguang keeps her secret identity as the richest woman in town while guarding her mountains of gold, all the while matching wits with the Qian family.

Just as she finally establishes herself in the family, some man suddenly appears and shuts down her shops in the name of investigating the illegal salt trade!

How dare he! She's always obeyed the law, and it took years of hard work to save up what she has. Anyone who tries to cross her will have to fight her to the end!

After months of clashing, her archenemy suddenly barges into her home and confesses his feelings.

Qian Mingguang: !!!

The nerve! (shocked.jpg)

-

Xu Zhaoxing searched for Qian Mingguang for ten years.

An imperial decree kept him under house arrest in Chang'an.

He waited there for ten years, and only after his grandfather passed away was he allowed to return to Nanzhou.

Entrusted with an important task by the emperor, Xu Zhaoxing secretly investigates the illegal salt trade while making sure to show up in front of his unrequited love at every opportunity.

But the salt smugglers are too crafty, always tripping him up and delaying his progress in winning Qian Mingguang over.

The richest merchant in Nanzhou is highly suspect. Sooner or later, he'll throw those salt smugglers in jail!

But life is full of surprises.

Xu Zhaoxing: What do I do? I got carried away confessing to my unrequited love and forgot to switch accounts. :)
