1.

After her mother, renowned as the greatest physician of her age, died, Si Han was forced to marry Song Guinien, the sickly and disabled adopted son of the Prince Regent.

Everyone knew her mother was a brilliant physician, but no one knew that Si Han's medical skills surpassed even hers.

When she married into the family, Si Han understood that she and Song Guinien were simply using each other.

She would cure him, and he would let her leave the prince's estate.

The hardest thing to accept was that Song Guinien was impossible to communicate with!

Other people could say ten sentences and he'd barely manage half a reply.

"Mm." "No." "Not good."

If she asked what wasn't good, he refused to say.

Si Han was about to go crazy. How could a perfectly good man refuse to use his words?

2.

Si Han had assumed Song Guinien would never change. But then...

Song Guinien's hand was large. He pinned both her wrists above her head with one hand, while the other gently tilted up her chin. He held her captive in the tiny space between them.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he made no effort to hide the predatory look in them.

"My lady, I'm angry."

"Why don't you tell your husband yourself who you gave the pastries I gave you to yesterday?"

Si Han stubbornly denied it. "No... no one."

Song Guinien gave a soft laugh. He bent down to her ear. "Are you still not going to tell me the truth, my lady?"

Then the world spun, and Song Guinien slung her over his shoulder.

Si Han: "Put me down!"

Song Guinien: "Since my lady won't tell the truth, I'll just have to think of a way to help you along."

Si Han struggled with all her might. "You weren't like this before!"

Song Guinien brushed aside her tangled hair. "Didn't you teach me to be this way, my lady?"

As her consciousness drifted in and out, Si Han drowsily wondered when she'd ever taught him to get angry over a pastry...

"My lady, please don't give my things to anyone else from now on."

Kuandong had a small wish.

She hoped that one day she could transmigrate to ancient times and have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two beauties at her beck and call.

It was a lovely wish, and Heaven was happy to oblige.

At long last, Kuandong transmigrated in spectacular fashion!

When she opened her eyes, she was in a strange new world.

Good news: She really was an emperor, with seventy-two men.

Bad news: She was actually a local tyrant. Put more elegantly, she was the chieftain of a mountain stronghold. Less politely, she was a bandit chief. There were no seventy-two beauties, just seventy-two muscular men in the stronghold.

Kuandong was on the verge of tears. Why did every last one of them look so terrifying?

This was practically making life difficult for a flower of the motherland raised on nine years of compulsory education.

Still, she had to steel herself and take charge of the stronghold.

She heard there was also a pretty boy who'd been kidnapped, and today was their wedding day.

Kuandong rubbed her hands together. Was this the legendary husband brought in to be the chieftain's... uh... groom?

She might not have seventy-two beauties, but one would do!

Kuandong hurried over to have a look, only to discover...

That face! That figure! Why did he look so much like her ex-boyfriend, Qi Yan?

What a coincidence: This man was also called Qi Yan. But Kuandong was certain he wasn't her ex.

Her ex-boyfriend had been a harmless little white flower. How could he be this man who went around saying, "If you've got the guts, kill me"?

But things seemed to be taking a strange turn. Kuandong couldn't help feeling that Qi Yan's gaze had changed.

It was like... a wolf stalking its prey.

Kuandong trembled. The seventy-two muscular men were already more than she could handle. Why did she also have to deal with a dark and dangerous one?

"Um... I can let you go down the mountain. I was wrong before. I-I shouldn't have kidnapped you and brought you to the stronghold..."

Qi Yan curled his lips and leaned in to meet her gaze, making no effort to hide the predatory look in his eyes. "Don't you think it's a little late to say that now?"

[Male lead's perspective]

After breaking up with Kuandong, Qi Yan transmigrated.

He used to be considerate, gentle, and attentive. He hid his true nature and played the perfect boyfriend for Kuandong.

But Kuandong still broke up with him. He didn't understand why.

After transmigrating, the first person he saw was a female chieftain who looked exactly like Kuandong. She waved a hand, declared that she wanted him, and had him kidnapped to her stronghold.

Hah. Some cheap imitation dared to indulge in such delusions.

Qi Yan secretly made all the preparations. His wedding night would be the chieftain's last.

But... just as he was about to make his move,

Qi Yan noticed... the chieftain's gaze had changed.

It was so clear and genuine. He'd only ever seen that look in one person's eyes.

His ex-girlfriend, Kuandong.

Qi Yan changed his mind. If their last relationship had been a failure,

then this time, he would never let Kuandong leave.

P.S. The male lead transmigrates before the female lead~
