The One I Never Married

[Preorders: Transmigrate and Have the System Make Me Beautiful All on My Own and The Top Prestigious Family. Please bookmark them~~]

Xi Yi is the daughter of a prefect. She hears that her prefect father has arranged an excellent marriage for her, one that will bring her endless wealth and splendor.

But the other family backs out.

The matter is so humiliating that nobody in the prefect's residence dares to mention it again.

Xi Yi is terrified, thinking they've discovered she's an impostor.

She's actually a tea-picking girl. She isn't exceptionally beautiful, but her skin is fair and dewy, and her eyes are naturally bright and expressive. The prefect has no daughters, only two sons. He took her home because he liked the look of her.

.

Xi Yi can't help carrying traces of her former life in the mountain village.

She almost dies while out on an excursion.

The entire city is placed under lockdown the following night. Her father isn't behind it. The person responsible, she hears, holds a higher office and has deeper influence. The number of people involved and the number demoted after the incident are no less than in the prince's assassination case a few years earlier.

She's worried her family might be implicated too.

.

To her surprise, her prefect father is overjoyed. He even opens a jar of daughter-red wine to celebrate.

He also brings home a man so handsome Xi Yi's heart nearly skips a beat.

But her father introduces him as the current emperor.

.

Xi Yi turns white with fear. She's done for.

She thinks she may have almost stabbed him during that incident.

.

Unexpectedly, he marries her.

He seems to be the same person who called off their engagement all those years ago.

Sigh, she'd misunderstood. She's only a consort, so how could anyone call it marriage?

Years later, the emperor's assassination case is reopened and the investigation reaches far and wide. Yet the one woman who holds the rank of consort and lives in the empress's palace emerges entirely unscathed.

They say she isn't even the biological daughter of the prefect who raised her, but just a tea-picking girl.

Preorder: Transmigrate and Have the System Make Me Beautiful All on My Own. Synopsis:

Zhang Hanhe dies on the way to being offered by the commandery governor to a great warlord.

Tens of thousands of soldiers surround the city, their banners snapping in the wind. It will take less than a day to breach the last stronghold.

Zhang Hanhe is already well and truly dead. After all, even the gods can't save someone who's dead.

But as order gradually returns to the city, she climbs back out of the pile of corpses.

And she's even more beautiful than before.

She's not a local. She transmigrated here with a very useless System: the more times she dies, the more beautiful she becomes. Of course, there are limits to how many times it works, or she'd become immortal.

She can revive at most one more time. If she dies again after that, she'll be dead for good.

Zhang Hanhe plans to sneak out of the city, but unfortunately, after waiting in line for half a day, she sees that everyone leaving the city has to show their household registration.

Zhang Hanhe has no registration, so she slips away from the crowd in embarrassment.

Being beautiful all on her own is a dead end.

After thinking it over, Zhang Hanhe decides she has to get registered first, no matter what. Only then will she be able to think about living a peaceful life.

Order in the city is just beginning to take shape. She has no money, not even enough to grease the right palms, so she resorts to a bit of seduction to get something for nothing and secures the document she needs.

Damn it, she fell for a scam.

The household registration they gave her is fake.

The new county magistrate discovers a flaw in her registration, and Zhang Hanhe nearly ends up in prison.

With nowhere else to turn, she looks toward the barracks east of the commandery city.

She hears...

The authorities are currently arranging a selection of respectable young women for that great warlord.

Preorder: The Top Prestigious Family. Synopsis:

Lu Ning, an ordinary person, meets Pei Xinjian on a breezy day.

She crashes into his car at the start and nearly gets into an accident, then runs into him again at a university alumni gathering.

Pei Xinjian drops into her life without warning.

Lu Ning goes from the sidelines to the very center of Pei Xinjian's life.

She doesn't know what life in a top prestigious family is like, but one day Pei Xinjian tells her, “Maybe you can see me on the news, but you can see a lot more of me in everyday life.”

Pei Xinjian goes grocery shopping with Lu Ning, buys medicine in the middle of the night when she has a fever, and in name keeps her from unwanted attention while making sure everyone knows he has someone he loves.

It all begins on that breezy day.

After the near-accident, Pei Xinjian takes Lu Ning to the hospital. The car's cramped interior is filled with the ceaseless chirping of cicadas.

He suddenly leans toward her. “Fasten your seat belt.”
