Lu Yiyi, the strange thief known across the martial world as "Flying Swallow."
Once, she had the bad luck to steal silver from a handsome, finely dressed man. He killed her with a single palm strike.
"Just you wait. When I come back to life, I'll definitely, definitely stay out of your way."
She is reborn in the body of Lu Shaogong, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Lu family, and forced by her stepmother to marry in place of her younger sister, Lu Zhixin.
She becomes the Princess Consort of Prince Yi, Mu Wenjun.
Rumor has it that Prince Yi is violent and ruthless, and that he brings death to his wives.
Lu Yiyi isn't afraid.
As Princess Consort, she'll have money by the cartload, and her husband is handsome. She'd be a fool not to take advantage of this. The King of Hell really did her a favor.
After dealing with her stepmother and stepsister, she happily climbs into the bridal sedan and marries him.
The room glows with lamplight. Her red veil is lifted, and she sees before her a man clad in scarlet wedding robes, radiating a chill that warns everyone to keep their distance. Lu Yiyi turns to stone.
This, this is the man who killed her!
She grits her teeth.
Then caves.
Prince Mu Wenjun says coldly, "You will sleep in the west wing."
Lu Yiyi sighs with relief inside. "Thank heavens."
The Princess Consort is beautiful and sweet-natured. Mu Wenjun goes from indifference and wariness to falling for her.
A year later, she gives birth to a young heir.
A month after that, the Princess Consort vanishes, making off with more than half the wealth of the Prince's household.
The Prince clutches his child and grits his teeth. "Search! Search for her with everything you've got. If you can't find her, you can all die."
The world is vast. How can he find her in such a short time?
His fury, resentment, and pain gradually give way to silence and deep thought, until at last he becomes reserved and cold.
When he finds her, the Prince holds their child and says solemnly, "Whether or not you're a daughter of the Lu family, you're my woman. Come home with me."
The Princess Consort says, "The vast Prince Yi's household isn't short one wet nurse."
PS: The heroine is a natural-born performer: she's coy, dramatic, and quick to chicken out.
The hero accidentally killed the heroine in their previous life.
### Cousin, Please Behave Yourself
Liu Chunrou and Tong Xicheng were childhood sweethearts with a deep bond.
Their families were neighbors and distant relatives. Seeing that the two made a fine match, the elders wanted to strengthen their ties through marriage. They arranged for Liu Chunrou to marry Tong Xicheng once he passed the highest imperial examination and became the top scholar.
Tong Xicheng lived up to everyone's expectations, winning first place in the palace examination and marrying his fiancee Liu Chunrou as promised, making her the top scholar's wife.
By all rights, the young couple should have been deeply in love, devoted and trusting.
Instead, after Liu Chunrou married into his family, they lost the closeness they'd once shared. What began as a facade of mutual respect gradually became impossible to disguise as cold indifference.
Liu Chunrou was thrifty and gentle, managing the household and making other people envy her as the top scholar's wife. Yet she guarded her lonely, untouched maidenhood, counting the water-clock drops until dawn.
After three years of marriage in name only, Liu Chunrou died of grief and coughed up blood on the day her husband took a new wife.
But when she awoke, Liu Chunrou had returned to the day Tong Xicheng passed the top imperial examination, once the happiest time of her life.
Tong Xicheng came to ask for her hand as promised.
"Chunrou, let's get married."
"Take your betrothal gifts back."
"I'll kill that man in your household."
"Your white moonlight has nowhere to go!"
After a long silence, Tong Xicheng spoke again. "Let's get married first. After the wedding, you can do whatever you want with me. The elders are all watching."
Liu Chunrou was calm. "No. Stop pretending. If I jump into your cesspit again after getting another chance at life, I'd be letting down my mother, who carried me for ten months."
Liu Chunrou decisively broke off the engagement and helped her father and younger brother manage the money house.
Neither the Tong nor Liu family could understand it. The children's feelings changed from one moment to the next, more confusing than a magic trick.
Later, people often saw the newly crowned top scholar scurrying after Miss Liu.
Liu Chunrou couldn't chase him off, no matter how hard she tried.
"You're the top scholar personally named by the Emperor. Could you have some dignity?"
"Before you, your husband is as transparent as glass. The sun and moon can bear witness."
Liu Chunrou said, "Cousin, watch your words. Behave yourself, or I'll call for help and say you're harassing me."
PS: Both leads are each other's only partners, and both have been reborn twice.
The ex-husband will face a desperate pursuit of his wife.
Before being reborn:
Liu Chunrou said expressionlessly, "Since you've married the woman you love, let's get a divorce."
Tong Xicheng said coldly, "You can dream of getting a divorce, even in death."
But after Liu Chunrou died from poisoning, he went mad. He couldn't live without Rou'er, even if she loved another man.
He cut ties with his family and, under the pretext of delivering a letter, tried to assassinate Prince Liang.
But he failed.
Pierced by a thousand arrows, he fell into a pool of blood, thinking he had at least done right by Rou'er.
But then a man's mocking voice rang out above him. "I only used his wife for a little while, and he really fell for it."
At that moment, Tong Xicheng was filled with regret.
If only everything could start over...
