First published on Jinjiang Literature City. Thank you for supporting the official version.

The novel “After Being Proposed to as My Enemy’s Wife” is now underway. The blurb is at the very bottom. Please add it to your collection~

[A Very Serious Blurb]

Wei Feiya transmigrated and became the young lady of the Kaisili family, one of the three great families that founded the empire. She received no perks for transmigrators and no so-called golden finger.

After accidentally dying, she became trapped in an endless cycle.

This time, she has been reborn for the seventeenth time.

She wants to return to her hometown and find a way to put an end to this strange transmigration and rebirth.

But strangely, this time around, many things have changed.

The apprentice of the great mage, whom she has never met, keeps looking at her with a familiar, accusatory gaze.

A duke’s daughter she doesn’t know is exceedingly fond of her.

Even a mage she has met only once is willing to help her of his own accord.

Everything has gone haywire, racing off in a direction it has never taken before.

Later, even the two gods of the other world and her hometown look at her with kind smiles: Surely you’ve received your golden finger this time?

Wei Feiya: ?

The gods: Of course, your companions.

Many, many years later, Wei Feiya finally returns to her hometown and enjoys a hard-won peaceful life at home.

No, it isn’t peaceful anymore.

She turns to look at the noisy crowd in her home. “So, how did you all get here?”

Everyone: Hehe!

The great mage’s apprentice has already crept up beside her and tentatively laces his fingers with hers.

A pillow immediately flies into his face.

“Isidore! Stay away from Wei Feiya! I do not approve of this marriage!”

All right, peace really is out of the question now.

[Two-Sentence Blurb from the Male Lead’s Perspective]

She carries all of his fate. From then on, his fate is entirely hers.

He has waited and searched all this time. He will recognize her soul at a glance, and then his heart will beat again.

[One-Sentence Blurb for the Companions]

Each of them has suffered in their own way, but meeting one another brought them the salvation they needed.

[A Blurb Written Especially for the Female Characters]

Swept along by the tides of the times, they struggle to survive and break the chains of injustice. They are no one’s accessories. They live for themselves and are the masters of their own fates.

They may not be members of the main cast, but they are already the heroines of their own stories.

Reading Guide:

1. Both leads are devoted only to each other. Their romance develops slowly, and the male lead is the only one with feelings at first.

2. A little ensemble cast, with the plot taking center stage. I’m still working on my character-writing skills~

3. Not traditional Western fantasy, with some original worldbuilding.

“After Being Proposed to as My Enemy’s Wife”

Blurb:

As the master who governs all of Cangzhou, Cang Shu He has held the highest position for a long time.

Bored, she conjures two doppelgangers, one man and one woman, named Ning Bogu and Wu Sanniang. But just before she is ready to send them out into the world, she catches a glimpse of their lives. The male doppelganger defeats countless people and takes the female doppelganger as his wife. Cang Shu He immediately finds it dull.

But then a man who was once defeated by the male doppelganger does something completely different from what happened before: he proposes to the female doppelganger.

So she decides to marry the female doppelganger off to him.

No, she wants to see for herself.

*

Xi Huaizhao, the master of Yuanzhou and a renowned genius, cannot understand how he, the leader of the Dao, could have lost to an orphan like Ning Bogu, much less suffered such humiliation.

The first thing he does after being reborn is vow to grind Ning Bogu’s bones to dust. Yet no matter how hard he searches, he cannot find the man.

He remembers the scene before his death, and the woman who always stood behind Ning Bogu: Wu Sanniang, Ning Bogu’s beloved wife, a woman famed for her poetic talent and admirable character.

Xi Huaizhao may not understand love, but that does not stop him from stealing Ning Bogu’s wife.

*

Xi Huaizhao’s parents are a bitterly mismatched couple. The “love” between such a pair is always sharp-edged and full of resentment. He is the perfect pawn in their “love,” and many of his actions stem from the rules of conduct his parents have branded into him.

There is no love in those rules, nor anyone who can teach him to understand it and free him from his fear of “love.”

Being defeated by Ning Bogu and looked down on by him tramples those rules.

Taking another man’s wife as revenge is crossing a line, but Xi Huaizhao does not regret it.

What he never expected was that Wu Sanniang would have the very personality he was least equipped to handle. She is cheerful and carefree, generous toward others, and does as she pleases while always knowing when to advance or retreat. Her talent is second to none, and her dark eyes seem able to see into everyone’s heart, including his.

Everything he does when he is with Wu Sanniang comes naturally. He never imagined that her words could make his heart race so wildly, or that even a small gesture from her could leave him so flustered he tries to run away...

Even the reason he married her becomes a source of bone-deep jealousy.

He wants her eyes filled with his reflection. He wants her to stop looking at Ning Bogu. He wants to see more of her and grow closer to her... These desires break his rules of conduct. This is what love is.

He wants to confess his feelings, but before he can speak, she has already died, her beauty lost forever.

A marriage stolen from another man can still cut so deeply.

In despair, he hears that the master of Cangzhou, the greatest person in the world, possesses a way to bring the dead back to life. He resolutely sets out to seek an audience, willing to pay any price if only Sanniang can be saved.

After a long and winding journey, he happens upon an incomplete portrait of the master of Cangzhou. The unbelievable possibility it suggests drives him to rush thousands of miles back to Yuanzhou, where he intends to lift the coffin lid and confirm it, even though he already knows the answer in his heart.

How can he face her? Standing in a magnificent, gilded hall, he looks up and sees the person seated high above, smiling as if amused.

He wants to kill her.

At the banquet, after longing for her company for so long, he thinks her kindness to him must contain at least a sliver of genuine affection. But when he looks up, he sees no shortage of heaven-blessed geniuses and gifted young men by her side, nor any shortage of so-called true affection.

He wants to kill her.

He never imagined that one day he would lay aside all his pride and humbly beg for her attention.

Later, he discovers that Ning Bogu is also her...

Theme: No matter how treacherous the road ahead, you and I are never alone.
