I've Had It Appraised: We're Star-Crossed [Matriarchal Society]

My next novel will be Marrying Down (Female-Dominant Society). Please add it to your favorites, everyone!

Zhu Peiyu unexpectedly found herself inside a female-dominant romance novel, as the scummy female spouse.

The original owner was lazy, greedy, and lecherous. She not only led her whole family in taking everything from the male lead, but also regularly beat, insulted, and bullied him.

She forced the male lead to fake his death and escape.

When they met again, he had become the high-ranking official consort of a princess and began a brutal revenge against the original owner. He severed her hands and feet and had her cut to pieces, determined to make her wish she were dead.

By the time Zhu Peiyu transmigrated, the male lead was already lying in a coffin, and his escape plan was counting down.

Zhu Peiyu: ...

Fine. So that's how you're going to play it?

At first, Zhu Peiyu didn't like Wen Xin. She thought he was all skin and bones and had a sharp tongue. She treated him well only to change her own fate. Even if she still ended up dead, at least she might die more comfortably.

At first, Wen Xin didn't believe Zhu Peiyu could turn over a new leaf. He thought her change of heart was just a desperate last stand after running out of options.

They couldn't stand each other, but had no choice but to keep up appearances. At last, a gentle blade cut short their doomed relationship.

When they met again,

Wen Xin greeted her warmly. "My wife, it's been a long time."

Zhu Peiyu could only groan. "I've learned my lesson. Please let me go."

Please add my upcoming novel, Marrying Down (Female-Dominant Society), to your favorites!

With one blink, Zou Heng transmigrated to a female-dominant world.

She might not have a gentle, lovely husband or a wealthy, prestigious family, but she did have a whole family of bloodsuckers!

A biased father, an ambitious younger sister, and a pair of younger brothers who were all talk and no action, dressing themselves up in flashy clothes every day in hopes of marrying into money.

The original owner had been exploited by her family for years and had given up on life. She'd left without hesitation.

Faced with a family clamoring to be fed and a mountain of messes, Zou Heng could only marvel: what a disastrous start.

Who would have thought that even with a family background like hers, a husband would still marry down to her?

Zou Heng couldn't understand it, couldn't make sense of it, couldn't figure it out, and was even a little scared.

*

Si Qingyue was the most prestigious young man in the capital.

His mother was the sworn sister of the empress and had won many military honors. His father was a business genius, and the family had more money than they could spend. One of his two older sisters had achieved great things in the military, while the other had excelled in her studies.

As the only young man in the family, he had been indulged by everyone since childhood. Unfortunately, he had always been sturdier and taller than other young men, with open, handsome features, and accidentally became the ugliest man in the whole city.

Although his family background could have helped him find an ideal wife, he'd been devoted to martial arts since childhood and had never understood what it meant to be quiet and graceful, or tender and delicate.

This made the women of the whole capital keep their distance.

As a result, Si Qingyue's marriage became a major headache for his family.

Si Qingyue didn't care. If he couldn't marry up, he would marry down, and he was determined to have the upper hand over his spouse in both family background and physical strength.

Si Qingyue once had a dream. In it, he married the Third Princess. After the wedding, she treated him with gentleness and generosity, indulging him at every turn.

That continued until his mother helped her ascend the throne.

He thought he was about to be named the empress's consort and become the mother of the realm. But then his mother was convicted of treason.

The Si family was wiped out, and Si Qingyue died in the cold palace. In the end, all he got was a straw mat, and his body was thrown into a mass grave.

He thought wild dogs would tear his corpse apart, but then he discovered that someone had given him a proper burial.

He and she had been strangers all their lives. Only after he was laid to rest in peace did he learn her name: Zou Heng.
