*Ancient-era ABO: Qianyuan/A, Zhongyong/B, Kunze/O
Ming Xia transmigrated into a book, landing in an ancient political intrigue novel as the scumbag ex-wife of Ye Qingxue, the story's villain pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
The original owner was a half-disabled Qianyuan. While out one day, she happened to rescue Ye Qingxue, who had lost her memory. Seeing that she was beautiful and a top-tier Kunze, the original owner took advantage of her predicament and married her.
But the original owner didn't cherish her at all. She dumped all the housework on Ye Qingxue, then dragged her into bed every night, even when she was pregnant.
In the end, Ye Qingxue was so thoroughly worn down that she seemed barely alive, and she lost the baby too.
At the moment her heart finally died, Ye Qingxue recovered her memories. It turned out she was the younger sister of the new empress. The calamity that had befallen her came during a transition of imperial power: the new empress had feared her presence and secretly arranged to have her harmed.
Remembering everything, Ye Qingxue summoned her personal guards and personally had the original owner mutilated into a human stump. After enduring immense suffering, the original owner was poisoned to death with a cup of wine.
By the time Ming Xia transmigrated into the book, the two were already married, and she had made the other woman toil through her pregnancy for nearly three months...
Meeting the beautiful woman's silent, lifeless gaze, Ming Xia broke into a cold sweat and immediately took over all the housework and farm labor.
But the original owner was a defective, with no connections or ability, and the household hadn't had meat for half a month.
Make use of what the mountains provide: Ming Xia did everything she could to get ingredients and returned to her old line of work. She set up a street stall selling food, fed the great beauty, and used the money she earned to buy her nutritious food and softer fabric, hoping the beauty would lose the urge to kill her once she regained her memories.
Hard work paid off. The great beauty gained ten pounds, grew even more radiant, and began smiling again.
Ming Xia let out a huge sigh of relief. She only wanted to take good care of her and part on good terms once the great beauty regained her memories.
But at some point, the great beauty began looking at her with tender affection. She also often came to cling to and cuddle her when her pregnancy pheromones grew unstable, holding her all night long.
Unable to resist the beautiful woman's eager cuddles and kisses, Ming Xia gave in once, then again, until things got completely out of hand.
Then one day, Ming Xia finished work early and returned home to find countless armored cavalry kneeling outside her little courtyard. The person they were bowing to was the very beauty who shared her bed every night. Now, she was looking at Ming Xia in silence, her gaze icy and sharp.
Looking at the woman who had clearly regained her memories, Ming Xia felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She turned and tried to run on instinct, but before she had taken two steps, the cavalry seized her.
Ye Qingxue walked slowly toward her and said softly, "Whether you're human or ghost, now that you've stirred my heart, Xiaxia, I won't let you go."
Notes:
1. Includes childbirth. If that's not your thing, please don't read.
2. It's actually not a political intrigue story, haha.
3. Please don't curse me. If you really have to, I'll cry for you, sob.
