My Fallen Country Would Laugh at Me

Blurb One: [High-Martial-Arts Heroine x Blind Husband]

Lin Li: My frail, disabled husband who can't even look after himself~

Mu Yu: I will offer you this splendid realm as my bride price, my lady.

They marry first and fall in love later. A straightforward heroine pursues her husband after their wedding, only to discover that he's a former crown prince who's been playing the fool!

At first, she's an alpha and he's an omega. Later, they're both alphas!! It looks like the heroine is hopelessly in love, pursuing her husband head-on, but it turns out to be a reunion the hero planned long ago. An intense push and pull, with the pursuer and pursued switching roles!! Who's the hunter, and who's the prey? The most masterful hunters often appear to be prey!

Blurb Two:

Everyone says that the only reason Lin Li, a woman, has risen to prominence in the male-dominated Southern Dynasty and secured the post of Director of the Criminal Tribunal is because she's attached herself to the Crown Prince in the central palace. Surely she'll become his consort someday.

But the decisive and ruthless Director Lin has suddenly married, and her groom isn't the Crown Prince. He's a blind monk.

"When did Director Lin go mad enough to marry a blind man with no abilities?"

Lin Li sneered. "What do you worldly fools know? So what if he's a blind monk? He's the one I've yearned for, my bright moon, for seventeen years!"

Who could have guessed that this useless, blind bright moon was the former crown prince who disappeared seventeen years ago? He's endured and schemed all this time, waiting to restore the Great Bian Dynasty.

After their whirlwind marriage, her frail bright moon is full of cunning. Then, out of nowhere, he gives Lin Li a divorce agreement and turns around to marry a vassal princess??

Would our Director Lin just let him get away with that?! She has to chase after him and tear him to pieces!!

Mu Yu: You can't force what's between us.

Lin Li: What if I insist?

Mu Yu: Then you'd better see it through.

#Little Scene

"...What, are you afraid I'll kill you? If so, why did you dare marry me? You'd better give up those ridiculous ideas of yours as soon as possible."

Mu Yu's mocking, icy tone acted like a catalyst. With the alcohol in Lin Li's system fueling her anger, it swelled into a force she could no longer control.

"It's you who's being ridiculous, husband!" She gathered both his hands in one of hers, then took off her belt and bound his wrists with it. "We're already married, don't you remember? Do I need to remind you?"

"What are you doing?! Let me go!"

"And what if I say no?"

"Lin Li! Don't you dare make a scene!"

"We've been married for a while now, husband. Don't you think we should share a bed?"

As she spoke, she stripped off her outer robe, boots, and trousers and tossed them beside the bed. Then she lifted Mu Yu's legs onto the bed and set them down.

Mu Yu struggled to get up, but she held him down with one arm.

"You!!"

Mu Yu was furious. Where had this she-devil gotten so much strength? She could do whatever she wanted with him, and he couldn't fight back at all.

"Go ahead and curse me if you want, husband. Don't bottle it up and make yourself sick."

By now, Lin Li was wearing only her underclothes. One leg pinned Mu Yu's legs down, and one arm locked around his throat. Through two thin layers of nightclothes, the heat radiating from Lin Li's body poured into him without end.

He squeezed his eyes shut, his face flushed blue and red, but he no longer had the strength to put up a futile struggle.

"Kill me or cut me up, do as you please." He parted his lips slightly, his words carrying the bleakness of someone calmly facing death.

"Why would I kill you or cut you up?" Lin Li ran a hand along his jaw. "Don't test my limits again, husband. You can't just come and go from the Lin residence as you please. Understand?"

"Countryside Dog-Training Romance"

A tree-climbing, river-wading, fish-and-shrimp-catching, bossy little girl and child bride x a proud, scheming, timid prince fallen among the common folk

(The hero is pretty awful at first, then spends the later story desperately trying to win her back.)

When Wei Yang was nine, her family arranged her engagement to the Lu family. (The romance doesn't begin until they're adults.)

The man she's supposed to marry is called Lu Changye. He's deaf and mute, and Wei Yang has never gotten along with him. He's not only odd-tempered, but always going out of his way to antagonize her.

"Where are my newly embroidered cloth shoes?!"

"Gave them away."

"Where's my pet tree sparrow?"

"Set it free."

"Where are the crabs I just caught?"

"Drowned them."

So Wei Yang locked Lu Changye in the woodshed and dressed up as a ghost to scare him, beginning an endless campaign of pranks against him.

Lu Changye: I've learned my lesson. Please let me go.

Then Lu Changye placed first in the imperial examinations and was chosen by the emperor to be a princess's consort. Wei Yang realized that at last, she would be free.

But just after Wei Yang sold off the family estate and set off to seek her own fortune, a grand sedan chair carried by eight bearers appeared on the country road. The visitor said, "My master has ordered me to bring you back to the palace."

Wei Yang: The princess lets him take a concubine?

Visitor: The one who wants you back at the palace is Prince Huai'an.

My name is Wei Yang. It's one of my names, and the one I love most.

My father gave me this name. When he chose it, he asked Li the fortune-teller from the neighboring village for his opinion. Li firmly opposed it.

"Yang means vast and boundless, like the mighty waters. It's also used to describe a great nation, vast as the land beneath heaven. That's too grand a name! If people from our village share a name with mountains and rivers, we'll suffer a backlash!"

He wasn't wrong. I did suffer a backlash.

I've lived in only three places in my life: a little village outside Yanzhou City, the Yenisei River, two thousand five hundred li from the Central Plains, and, finally, the Forbidden City.

I once firmly believed that my name was too grand, and that was why I had to cross thousands upon thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to reach the end of my life's journey. But lately I've changed my mind. I've realized that people have to look back when they're old to truly understand how fate has arranged things.
