This story's blurb: [Clever Noblewoman vs. Cunning Imperial Uncle]
Yan Ning never imagined that the Crown Prince, her childhood sweetheart and the man the Emperor had chosen for her, would break off their engagement.
Without that marriage to bolster her status, her standing in the family plummeted.
To curry favor with the imperial family, her father decided to marry her off in haste. His chosen groom was the nephew of a concubine.
To fight back against this unfair fate, she came up with a brilliant plan to strike at its roots, but it also drove a wedge between her and her father.
Worse still, the Crown Prince, who kept saying he wanted to make up for what he owed her, was the one who pushed her into the abyss.
As the late emperor's youngest son, Xiao Yu was born extraordinarily gifted, but he was too young to have any chance at the throne.
During the ten years he spent governing his fief, he kept his head down and never coveted the throne. Yet the Emperor continued to regard him as a grave threat.
In his previous life, on the eve of the Crown Prince's wedding, he was summoned back to the capital by imperial decree. Someone set him up, and in his drunken state he violated the Crown Prince's fiancee.
Afterward, he was condemned by all, while that young lady of the Yan family hanged herself.
Disgraced and ruined, he was confined in the imperial mausoleum. On countless nights, he thought of the girl who had died because of him.
Heaven was unjust, and the imperial family was merciless. Reborn, he planned ahead and laid his schemes early, determined to reclaim what should have been his all along.
But the plot unfolded as expected, and after a palace banquet, Yan Ning became the one who was set up.
Looking at the flushed young woman in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.
He had owed her in his previous life, so he could only repay her in this one.
A few things to know:
1. The story centers on the heroine and follows her growth and the battles within her household. It takes a little while to get going.
2. The heroine is independent and clear-headed, and is more inclined to save herself. She falls in love with the hero very late in the story.
3. I'm not good at writing blurbs, but the story is absolutely worth a read. I have plenty of chapters prepared and updates will be steady.
Coming soon: "Scheming for a Wife"
Her childhood sweetheart and fiance, Cao Xian, is framed by a villain. He loses his scholar's title and becomes embroiled in a murder case. The Cao family spends all its money trying to save him, but to no avail. Ji Yanran is frantic, her eyes red from crying.
The villain has coveted her for a long time. He even openly tells the Cao family that if she agrees to give herself to him, he'll spare Cao Xian.
Mrs. Cao, who loves her son more than life itself, immediately falls to her knees and begs Yanran to sacrifice herself for the greater good, for the sake of their many years of friendship.
Just as Ji Yanran is out of options and ready to accept her fate, she unexpectedly encounters Pei Ji, an investigating censor traveling south, at the villain's residence.
She stakes everything on knocking at Pei Ji's door, tearfully recounting the villain's crimes and naively believing he will surely help her in the face of injustice.
Instead, Pei Ji lazily raises his eyes and asks, his meaning unclear, "Why should I help you?"
Later, she risks herself to escape the villain's clutches and finally succeeds in rescuing Cao Xian. She thinks the lovers can at last be together, but Cao Xian considers her tainted and coldly breaks off their engagement.
After Cao Xian finds a new love, she becomes the laughingstock of the whole city. Everyone mocks her as shameless, and even the aunt who raised her believes the rumors and throws her out.
When she's wandering the streets, utterly hopeless, a single sentence from Pei Ji gives her the courage to keep living.
"Dying is certainly easy, but only the living can have hope."
She takes Pei Ji's words to heart, bravely gets back on her feet, and leaves her homeland with him, setting out for the capital.
Through all the hardships that follow, Pei Ji supports her, steps forward when things are hardest, and firmly shields her from harm.
As they spend day after day together, Yanran's heart slowly gives itself to him. But on the eve of their wedding, Cao Xian suddenly arrives in the capital and exposes a deception no one knew about.
Theme: What goes around comes around, and good and evil are always repaid.
Damn, I've read half of it. I'm going to boldly add a little personal opinion. If it causes discomfort, it can be deleted. I saw someone say that the data is poor before, but I don't quite understand it. It's obviously very well written, with good characters and good plot. Even if the data is occasionally bad, it will definitely get better later on. Later on, I found that the characters in DaDa's paintings are a bit like building blocks. When you need them in any plot, you just take them without any cause and effect, deviating from the normal development of the situation. For example, the concubine sent poisonous mung bean soup to the heroine, and when she was discovered, the heroine instead sent an army to the concubine's son. It should be a very beautiful battle. The heroine gave her non-poisonous mung bean soup, but the concubine was so frightened that she didn't die after drinking it. However, the father's reaction was really outrageous. Even if it was described that the father knew that he had wronged his daughter, but because of his preference for the concubine, he still vented his resentment on his daughter. It was just like a blind man who couldn't see the facts. Also, why does the heroine keep getting slapped by her father? It was really humiliating, and some of the slaps were really unnecessary. Maybe I'm too glassy. It's not popular here to slap people all day long.
