Zhi Zhi Again and Again

Blurb:

College student Meng Zhi accidentally transmigrates into the body of a poor sixteen-year-old girl.

From the start, she's unlucky enough to be chased by a lecher. After finally being rescued, the noble young master of an aristocratic family who fled with her tries to force her to become his concubine.

The maids and servants in the household are instantly up in arms.

"Why did Master take a liking to her?"

"She must have used some underhanded tricks!"

"I heard her whole family is dead. Who knows where he'll send her once he's tired of her?"

Outnumbered and powerless, at the mercy of others in a deeply patriarchal world, Meng Zhi has just one thought: Go back.

*

When Meng Zhi learns that this noble young heir, peerless in his refinement, has a severe cleanliness obsession,

she tears up and takes her own virginity, proving that she has already been intimate with another man.

Silence, cold as ice, fills the luxurious room.

With her back straight, she ignores the disdainful, contemptuous looks. "This common woman has long given her heart to someone else. We once swore an oath to each other beneath the mountains and by the sea. I have already entrusted him with my heart and body. This body is no longer untouched, and I dare not defile Lord Xie."

*

Xie Ling loves someone, but that heartless girl loves another.

When she finally falls in love with him, it is all part of a scheme, a play she has staged to escape the world he has woven around her.

Many years later.

Xie Ling finally finds her.

The wind is bitterly cold, snow falls thickly from the sky, and a dilapidated grass hut stands before them.

As his Gu poison takes hold, Xie Ling stares, out of control, at the girl beneath him, whose mind is as full of tricks as a sieve. In a hoarse voice, he asks, "Did he do this to you too?"

He bites down hard on the girl's small, pearly white earlobe. Hatred rises in his heart. "Am I really so much worse than him?"

[Reader's notes:]

1. Both leads are devoted only to each other.

2. The male lead acts tough, but loves deeply. He can't live without the female lead.

3. The female lead is determined to return to the modern world. Nothing can stop her.

4. The male lead schemes in secret and in the open, moving heaven and earth. But when his Gu poison flares up, he becomes unpredictable and unable to control himself, with an all-consuming possessiveness.

5. The male lead is a genuine man of ancient times. Due to the story's setup, at first he will consider making the female lead his concubine.

6. Inspired by "A hairpin waits in its box for the right moment to fly." A fairy gave Emperor Wu of Han a hairpin, which he placed in a box. Later, Emperor Wu's grandson opened the box, but the hairpin was gone. It had turned into a white swallow and flown away.
