[An elegant noblewoman who seems demure but is a master flirt x a reserved, celibate-looking painter favored by the emperor who is actually a lovesick fool]
Cai Xuan, the clever and beautiful daughter of Chancellor Cai Jing, deliberately seeks to win the favor of a painting prodigy beloved by the emperor, using her beauty and cunning to strengthen her father's position.
One day, at her father's arrangement, Cai Xuan enters the Xuanhe Painting Academy. Wearing purple, she stands before Wang Ximeng, dazzlingly beautiful. Her clear voice rings out: "Greetings, Master Wang!" From that moment, she captures his heart and stirs his feelings.
As they spend their days together, Cai Xuan discovers that Wang Ximeng is more than a man who merely writes and paints. Beneath his cool, restrained exterior is a passionate heart.
Wang Ximeng's feelings for Cai Xuan grow stronger by the day. One day, he gently wraps an arm around her waist and murmurs, "Xuan'er, you truly mean a great deal to me."
Then everything changes. The mystery surrounding Cai Xuan's birth slowly comes to light: Cai Jing is not her biological father, but the man who killed her father. She was nothing more than a pawn Cai Jing used to win over Wang Ximeng.
Heartbroken, Cai Xuan had thought Wang Ximeng would be her strongest ally. But just as she lets down her guard and opens up to him, he points a blade at her throat and demands, "Cai Xuan, why did you use me?!"
Devastated, she leaves this place of heartbreak.
People say that from then on, Wang Ximeng, a palace attendant in the Department of State Affairs, drowned his sorrows in drink night after night, no longer the refined gentleman he once was.
At last, unable to bear the torment of longing, he frantically searches everywhere for her.

#Reborn | Marriage before love | Revenge and putting villains in their place | The husband wins his wife back#
[The breathtakingly beautiful first beauty of the capital, Jiang Wanruo x Prince Chen Xiao Musheng, a refined gentleman with unmatched intelligence and fighting skills]
Qin Luo died in the year she was at the height of her glory.
Once a favored consort, she had been the most cherished woman in the imperial harem and the talk of the town. Then everything changed: her father, the General Who Guards the Nation, was defeated in battle, the entire Qin family was executed, and a single cup of poison brought her short, brilliant life to an end.
When she awakes again, she has been reborn as Jiang Wanruo, the capital's great beauty and the chancellor's legitimate daughter. By imperial decree, she is to marry Prince Chen, Xiao Musheng.
On their wedding night, Xiao Musheng is as cold as ice and makes no effort to hide his loathing for her, leaving her alone in the bridal chamber.
After the wedding, Jiang Wanruo treats Xiao Musheng with care and puts on the appearance of a loving couple in public. She carefully conceals her true identity while making meticulous plans for revenge.
*
Xiao Musheng, a prince of the Chen line, is a modest gentleman, gentle and refined, and exceptionally talented. The noblewomen of the capital adore him, but an imperial decree forces him to marry the chancellor's legitimate daughter, Jiang Wanruo, against his wishes.
On their wedding night, he looks at Jiang Wanruo, beautiful and graceful, but feels no interest in her at all, and leaves her alone in the bridal chamber.
After they marry, he carries on as before, pretending to be a loving husband to Jiang Wanruo only in public.
But Jiang Wanruo's talent and schemes catch his attention. By chance, he discovers that she seems to have some unknown connection to the Qin family, which was wiped out, and that her plans somehow converge with his own...?
A little scene with the leads:
Prince Chen on their wedding night: "Who is this woman? I really don't know what my elder brother was thinking. Why issue a marriage decree for the two of us?"
Prince Chen after the wedding: "She's my princess consort, after all. I should at least show her some care in public."
Xiao Musheng, after falling for Jiang Wanruo: "Does she like me? What if she doesn't like me? Ahhh! What do I do? I think I've fallen in love with her!"
Jiang Wanruo on their wedding night: "Is this the husband I'll be living with from now on? He's pretty handsome, and most importantly, he's rich and powerful. My revenge plans are looking up!"
Jiang Wanruo after the wedding: "Should I show him some care? The emperor did personally arrange our marriage, after all."
Jiang Wanruo after spending every day with Xiao Musheng: "Huh? Why is he gloomy again? Why is he secretly looking at me? What's wrong with him?"
The male lead at the beginning: Your Majesty, I don't want to marry!
The male lead in the middle: I should probably show her some care. She's my wife, after all.
The male lead at the end: What if she doesn't like me?! Ahhh, I'm bewitched! I think I've fallen in love with her!
Theme: Face hardship head-on, with a blade in hand

Well written, please keep up the good work
For the sake of a man, two sisters turned against each other.
It's good-looking and worth a look.

The story is getting more and more exciting 💪 🌈
I really like the role of Tong Shili, he is really full of tricks.
Time has no words, but your efforts are worthy of everyone seeing you. Come on, the author is great.
I've read another chapter. I'm so happy. The author is so awesome. I must keep reading and finish it.
As mentioned in the last chapter, Hao Du used his flesh and blood to block the knife for Wang Ximeng. Wang Ximeng, who saved the day, won the election of the Academy of Painting with his many years of hard work and was highly praised by Song Huizong. In order to consolidate his position, Cai Jing wanted to use his adopted daughter Cai Xuan as a bargaining chip to win over Wang Ximeng. This is the first time an emotional drama appears in this novel, and the chapter title comes from the poem "Meeting you for the first time is like an old friend returning home." Will Cai Jing's conspiracy succeed? Let's hear the breakdown tomorrow.
