Si Miaozhen transmigrated into the body of a powerful general, wealthy enough to rival a nation and influential enough to sway the imperial court.
Her sister-in-law was a famously flirtatious princess, with skin like ice and beauty enough to captivate an entire city with a single glance.
The princess had always loved frequenting pleasure houses. She had agreed to marry Si Miaozhen's obscure older brother only because he would be easy to control, and she had no feelings for him at all.
She even carried on an affair with the male lead, then openly remarried him after Si Miaozhen's brother died.
In the original story, Si Miaozhen despised frivolous, wanton women like her. She was the main antagonist in the male lead and princess's romance, often using her power and force to torment the princess.
She even had the princess executed by slicing her to death, as an offering to her brother's spirit. After giving the couple's story a neat tragic ending, she was herself avenged upon by the male lead and met a miserable end.
The Si Miaozhen who had transmigrated into this world gave a scornful laugh. “What does any of that have to do with me?”
She patted the princess on the shoulder without a care. “Sister-in-law, I know. Your heart is just broken into so many pieces that you've fallen in love with different people. You haven't done anything wrong. Just be yourself!”
At that, the princess ran her rosy tongue over her lower lip.
[System: Affection +5. Host, keep up the good work.]
[What do you mean? Where did you come from?!] Si Miaozhen was horrified.
[Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the Host's conquest System.] The System continued, [A friendly reminder: succeed at the conquest and you can avoid your tragic death.]
Si Miaozhen was about to curse out the System when she noticed the princess turning to leave. She grabbed the other woman's wrist.
“Sister-in-law, don't go drinking at Qianzhu Pavilion. Let Miaozhen keep you company.” Si Miaozhen's face was full of tenderness, with none of her usual fierceness.
The woman she'd caught brushed a hand over her hair, every movement brimming with allure. “But you told me to die just a few days ago. I'm afraid you might put poison in my drink, so I wouldn't dare.”
Si Miaozhen: ...
She'd arrived at the wrong time.
P.S.
1. Both leads are each other's first and only.
2. Ji Linglan and the protagonist have no romantic relationship before Ji Linglan's marriage ends.
3. If it's not your thing, please leave without telling me. If you have good writing ideas, feel free to use them in your own work.
Coming soon: The Sword Cultivator's Dao Heart Is in Disarray. Please support it and add it to your favorites in my author page. It means a lot to me! Here's the blurb:
As a human and succubus hybrid, Yu Qing learned one thing from a young age:
She had to hide her identity, or she would become a demon everyone in the cultivation world wanted to hunt down.
After leaving the demon realm, she met Zhou Zhen:
The lofty, icy genius sword cultivator, the leader of the righteous path.
The master of the ethereal sect, whose scent could make her lose control and nearly reveal her true form in public.
To get close to the greatest person in the world, Yu Qing went hungry until she sometimes fainted, all so she could stay hidden in the Ethereal Sect and win the beauty's heart.
But time was running out. Zhou Zhen was a mighty cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and needed only one final step.
[I'm so hungry. I want to eat her so badly.]
“Zidai.” Zhou Zhen pinned her against a Go board in a bamboo grove. The usually cool and noble woman breathed hotly today. “You've been hiding the truth from me for seven years. Tell me, how should I treat you?”
Yu Qing lifted her head and leaned toward the corner of her lips, leaving a feather-light kiss. “Then you can cripple my cultivation, announce to the whole world that I'm a filthy demon, and make me suffer. How should I repay you?”
P.S. A series about chasing your wife after driving her away.
Theme: Lighthearted, joyful love can make life even better
This feels fast. The key is that after seeing her before, she didn't see how much she liked Ji. Instead, she felt that in her heart, it would be better to marry her to a foreign language brother or nephew.
I always thought that asking the princess to marry was a cowardly act
Cutting the grass without eradicating the root will leave trouble forever. The general will leave and attack directly.
I'm really convinced. Do I really have to let her get married? I really can't stand it.
That's it, I'm still torturing the princess 💪
I really didn't realize that Suzuran liked Miaozhen!
This is not the direction, it smells a bit old-fashioned.
Tell me, you don't even try to stop her right next to her, isn't she waiting to be guarded?
This Angelica dahurica is also haha. I asked you to look at it. Just look at it and it still burns.
Ah, this is strangely sudden. I feel like it could be extended a little more, but I almost thought it was be.
