Synopsis
This story is on pause for a major rewrite!
[All-seeing noble heiress x sharp-tongued young general who willingly enters the game]
In her previous life, Bei Yang insisted on marrying Ling Yuanchen and helped him secure a foothold at court. In the end, her entire family was wiped out. After killing her enemy with her own hands, she took her own life with a sword.
Amid the eerie flames of the underworld, she struck a deal with the gods and ghosts.
She was reborn on the day Ling Yuanchen rescued her. This time, she made a completely different choice.
Armed with the golden finger she had gained in her previous life, she returned after completing her studies, ready to make her mark, only to be sold into the mountains.
Bei Yang: "?"
This wasn't quite how things were supposed to go.
Later, she took over the capital's largest intelligence network and established trading companies throughout the land.
When a flood of refugees poured into Lizhou, she had already stockpiled provisions. While other merchants kept raising prices, she sold food to the people at a low cost.
When the enemy nation attacked, Xie Nanlin had already led his army to strike at their rear camp.
"The young lady of the Chancellor's household is a goddess descended from heaven! Not only does she help the world and save lives, she can also see the future!"
"I wonder which young master she'll marry one day..." "She'll surely return to the celestial realm and be with the Divine Lord!"
"She doesn't need to marry anyone. Her heart is with all the people of the world!"
Such debates had long been spreading through the streets and alleyways.
Bei Yang looked at Xie Nanlin, who was lounging in her study pretending to read. "It's late. Aren't you going home?"
Xie Nanlin didn't even lift his head. He held a book up to hide his face completely, his voice muffled. "You're still up too... Oh, I forgot. You're a goddess. Goddesses not only marry Divine Lords, they don't need to sleep either."
Bei Yang paused her abacus and looked at him, amused. "Are you jealous of the rumors going around town, too?"
(The references to the celestial realm, Divine Lords, and goddesses are only metaphors. There are no fantasy elements in the story!)
Note:
This story is a slow burn. The romance becomes more prominent later on; the plot comes first.
The leads aren't especially impressive at first. They grow through plenty of bumps and setbacks!
Both leads are reborn.
The story may be revised from time to time, most likely after it's complete. O.o
New story, The Many Loves of My Nemesis, now open for preorders~
In the 21st century, she was just a wanderer, drifting from place to place. Though she was an orphan, she always believed that hardship wouldn't last forever.
One day, she transmigrated into a prosperous kingdom, only to become a fallen princess, unloved by both her father and mother, whom everyone seemed free to trample on.
Luckily, the formidable Privy Council Secretary was paralyzed from the waist down. Xiang Weiman knew that winning over this powerful official was her only chance of getting home.
From the beginning, she had approached him with an ulterior motive. She kept her distance carefully, without feelings for him. Every seemingly ordinary gesture was meticulously planned. One wrong step, and she'd die here.
She racked her brains trying to figure out how to survive in this man-eating imperial palace, when she caught sight of the pampered eldest princess. She looked strangely familiar.
The usually domineering eldest princess sneaked around late at night like a thief, carrying the Dongpo pork she'd had someone buy outside the palace. Her eyes lit up. "It's still hot!"
Xiang Weiman: "..."
She'd come through with her best friend, and they had no worries about food or clothing. Actually... it wasn't so bad.
Premise: Stay clear-eyed and walk side by side
