Reborn After Being Framed, She Seizes the Villainous Minister

[Reborn twice: fiery, forthright heroine × gentle, reserved, puppy-like hero] Yun Youning, an obscure concubine-born daughter of the imperial merchant Yun family, was killed by her vicious stepmother and half-sister over an engagement she herself hadn’t even figured out yet! The good news was that she was reborn as the cherished late-in-life daughter of General Yun. The bad news? Her predecessor was a beautiful but simple-minded girl. Not only was she shunned by the noble young ladies and gentlemen of the capital, she was also bullied and humiliated, both openly and behind her back, by the Third Prince and his royal faction. Before Yun Youning could get revenge on everyone who had hurt her, word arrived that her father had died in battle and her clansmen had fled the country, only to be shot down. The enemy was advancing into the heart of the land and had specifically demanded the simple-minded girl as a bride for a political marriage. When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the moment when the Third Prince was pestering her and asking to seek the emperor’s decree to marry her. Her father was in a towering rage, preparing to confront the emperor. This time, Yun Youning made the first move. She stopped her father with a light laugh, then pointed at the villain on the roadside, who was carrying a bundle and stumbling along on his way to take the imperial exams. “Father, this young man looks so familiar. He’s just like the fiancé I’ve never met.” The future villain, not yet turned evil: ? \ Yan Qingzhou always took everything in stride. So when someone from the Duke of Ying’s household came to tell him that he was their long-lost son, he barely questioned it and went back with them. But once he returned, the family’s fake young master bullied and schemed against him at every turn, and not one of the parents or siblings who should have been his stood up for him. Just as his heart was turning cold, the fiery, forthright woman appeared in front of him and said to everyone who had bullied him: “This man is under my protection. Got it?”
