The Black Moonlight Is Back for Revenge

Five years ago, Wen Liangyu was another man's wife. She died unexpectedly of illness and was buried in the wilderness.

Pei Chi was still young then. He saw her lying in her coffin with his own eyes, yet he had no standing even to grieve for her.

Five years later, she came back to life as a rabbit demon and, while fleeing, leapt into his carriage.

He looked at her with disgust and even wanted to throw the rabbit out.

That night, news of Wen Liangyu's resurrection spread.

Pei Chi: ...?!!!

Desperate to fly to the marquis's residence, he didn't spare even a glance for the filthy white rabbit.

Three days later, after discovering the rabbit's identity, Pei Chi thought: Heaven is on my side.

He abandoned his usual world-weary expression, eagerly fawning over her, smoothing her fur and feeding her, determined to win back his older sister's favor.

Wen Liangyu: ? Has he been possessed?

Wen Liangyu was one of the many noblewomen in the capital. Gentle and virtuous, she had studied court etiquette and manners since childhood. Even her smile was beyond reproach, and she was the unattainable ideal secretly cherished by most of the young men in the capital.

The empress arranged her marriage, the emperor provided her dowry, and she married into a marquis's family.

Her life seemed destined to be smooth sailing from beginning to end.

Who could have known that less than a year after her wedding, she would be murdered and hastily buried in a wooden coffin in the wilderness?

She lay there for five years.

When she opened her eyes again, her husband had remarried and had children, her birth family had fallen into ruin and had no place for her, and her body had unexpectedly turned into a white rabbit.

She thought: If I can't be a good person, then I'll be a wicked demon.

So she returned to the Wei residence and sincerely congratulated the couple on their youngest son's hundred-day celebration. The guests were all dumbstruck and terrified, staring in shock and fear at the beautiful woman who had returned from the dead.

But she seemed not to notice. Smiling and chatting just as she had five years ago, she stepped forward and called out sweetly to her husband, Rong.

Much later, everyone said the Wei family was a strange and sinister place, an unlucky household cursed by demons and ghosts. Even a gentle and kind woman like Wen Liangyu had caught some of their bad luck.

Hearing this, she hurriedly hid her rabbit tail, then pinched the corner of her handkerchief and pretended to be strong, her eyes reddening.

# You petty nobodies are all concubines

Content warnings:

1. The heroine has had sex before, while the hero is inexperienced. After returning, the heroine will have no relationship of any kind with her ex-husband.

2. There is a little bit of household intrigue early on. The origin of her rabbit-demon identity will gradually be revealed later, and the story will involve the demon realm. Romance and plot are roughly evenly balanced.

3. After being resurrected, the heroine turns completely ruthless. She's very good at pretending and is the type to repay every slight. She has major character flaws! The hero's secret love finally comes true, though he started skulking around in the shadows years ago.

4. The hero is nineteen and the heroine is twenty-three, though she spent five years lying in a coffin, so perhaps they can't quite be considered an older woman-younger man couple.

5. The heroine has a fully developed growth arc and will become stronger in every way as the story progresses.

"Pearls Adorned with Jade"

Synopsis: Liu Nanzhi is the legitimate daughter of the Liu family. Spoiled as she grew up, she is willful and proud, and forced the Shen family's young master to agree to marry her.

But three days before the wedding, a young woman arrived at the Liu residence and fell to her knees in tears, claiming that she was the Liu family's real daughter.

A case of mistaken identity had led the family to dote on the impostor for over a decade.

Nanzhi was thrown out of the Liu residence in front of everyone and pursued by assassins all the way.

She resolved to report them to the prefect of the capital, but accidentally fell off a cliff. Her mind was foggy, and she couldn't remember a thing.

All she remembered was that her name was Nanzhi, that she had to go to the capital to find the prefect, and that her future husband had married someone else and driven her out of his home...

Hmm... Nanzhi had figured it out!

The prefect was the husband she had met by chance, but he had broken his promise, proved faithless and coldhearted, and abandoned her alone while returning to the capital!

One day, outside the Chen residence, Nanzhi wept pitifully as she tearfully recounted to the watching crowd how her faithless husband had abandoned her.

A servant, face deathly pale, hurried inside to report: "Sir, there's a young woman outside claiming to be the wife you abandoned in Yangzhou!"

Chen Zhuo, who had been single for over twenty years, slowly raised his head: ...?

The two somehow ended up married, and Nanzhi took advantage of the fact that he had supposedly deceived and abandoned her, growing ever more spoiled. She bossed him around at home and did whatever she pleased, practically stepping on his face as she shouted orders.

Then the Liu family was promoted and moved to the capital, and when Nanzhi saw an old acquaintance, her memories suddenly returned.

She... she'd actually done something so shameless and stupid...

At first sight of Nanzhi, Chen Zhuo thought she was a swindler looking for a free meal. He kindly brought her back to his residence on the surface, while secretly wondering how to expose her.

Later, he discovered that she was the Liu family's runaway impostor daughter and had hit her head in a fall.

After all, she was an orphan with no one to rely on. He might as well let her stay.

That was how he reassured himself.

His boundaries retreated little by little. He married Nanzhi and indulged her until she truly became the wife who ruled him. Whenever he saw fine silks or gold hairpins and jade ornaments while out and about, he bought them for her. He was willing to accept being called a faithless man, and even hoped she would stay amnesiac forever.

Until the Liu family arrived in the capital and said there had been a mistake: Nanzhi was their biological daughter and also the Shen family's daughter-in-law, and they were taking her back.
