He grabbed a broadsword and stormed out, only to run head-on into Lin Meizhu.His wife took a camellia from her bun, personally tucked it into his hair ornament, and smiled softly, "Husband, you are even more handsome than today's Tanhualang."After a deep breath, he changed the direction of his blade and pretended nothing was wrong: "Madam, I'll show you a new set of sword techniques I've learned."Should he forgive her?Although she might have done something unfaithful to him, she never spoke ill of him, right? Right.Men make mistakes, and so do women. She must have acted on impulse. Right? Right.Then, forgive her, okay? Okay.The day after he convinced himself, his wife proposed a divorce.Shen Changfeng's defenses completely shattered.

Inspiration: "Although he was unfaithful to her, he never spoke a single bad word about her." — Maugham's *The Painted Veil*.P.S.:1. This novel is set as 1V1 (one-on-one), both male and female leads are 'double C' (pure in body and mind), and it has a HE (Happy Ending).2. Neither the male nor female lead is perfect. The male lead's biggest flaw is being stubborn/prideful (for a few chapters); the female lead is weaker in the early stages but will gradually assert herself, becoming a 'dog abuser' (meaning she will make the male lead suffer for his past actions) after awakening.3. The male lead upholds male virtues (important!!!).4. Meizhu (媚珠): In folk legends, it refers to the pearl in a fox's mouth, said to grant the wearer love from all under heaven. Words like 'bright and charming,' 'delicate and charming,' 'seductive and charming' are all positive terms for me.

Qin Qing, a graduating student, was rushing to finish her thesis late at night when she stumbled and fell, only to wake up in the 1960s, right in the midst of a great famine. Completely disoriented, she was abandoned by her own mother right at the start.

【The Young Master Fallen into the Mud vs. The Abandoned Big Courtyard Socialite】

Qin Yuyao was originally the daughter of the Right Prime Minister. When she was three, her biological mother passed away early, and she was sent to a manor by her stepmother.

When she was sixteen, she unexpectedly fell in love with a man. She regarded him as someone she could entrust her life to, but just a year later, that person left without a word.

Qin Yuyao was disheartened. Coincidentally, her father wanted to bring her back to the capital, and she also did not want to stay in a place of sorrow.

But after returning to the capital, her father not only did not care about her but even wanted to marry her to the ruthless Regent King?

One setback after another, Qin Yuyao's mood completely hit rock bottom. She was forced to get into the sedan chair and marry into the Royal Prince's mansion. The dagger she had prepared inside her wedding dress was already clutched in her hand.

Until the veil was lifted, she finally saw the man's face.

Isn't this the unfaithful man who left without saying goodbye?

Luan Zhengya used to only feel that court intrigues and assisting the emperor were minor matters, and he still felt that way now.

Only one person could make him cautious and repeatedly change his former schemes. He only wished that person would willingly embrace him and listen to his countless sweet words.

Chu Ge is a writer of harem novels.

As he was writing about the female sect leader, one of the strongest cultivators in the world, falling in love…

A woman appeared in his room, pointing a sword at his neck: “If you dare write that I fell in love with that man, I’ll kill you.”

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent struggling to survive in the apocalypse.

She felt her life slipping away, and a sense of relief washed over her. At last, she wouldn’t have to face this harsh world alone any longer. With a heavy heart, she slowly closed her eyes, a single tear rolling down her cheek.

As she teetered on the brink of death, a familiar voice, filled with regret and sorrow, called out her name. At first, she thought it was a mere hallucination, but the sound of someone digging through the snow to reach her seemed all too real.

Mustering the last of her strength, she forced her eyes open, desperate to catch one final glimpse of the face that had never left her heart. However, when her vision finally focused, she found herself in a completely different reality—she had been reborn.

—

Bi Qiao’an, who survived until the third year of the apocalypse, found herself reborn a year before the catastrophe began. Carrying the memories of her previous life’s weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and desperate struggle for survival, she was now armed with the knowledge of the impending disasters. With this foresight, she made a resolute decision to seek the protection and support of her nation.

Shen Yanming, her long-lost childhood friend whose voice had called out to her in the final moments in her previous life, had also been reborn. Reunited in this new life, he not only gifted her a magical space but also assisted her in securing employment and amassing crucial supplies. He stood steadfastly by her side as they navigated the perils of the impending apocalypse together.

However, as they faced the challenges head-on, they discovered that the apocalypse in this life had taken a different course from the one they had previously experienced. The world was not only plagued by global rains and droughts but also by parasitic diseases, the devastating HZ virus, locust plagues, earthquakes, and solar mutations.

Amidst the chaos, the Alliance and the Guardian Team emerged, better prepared and no longer as helpless as they had been in Bi Qiao’an’s previous life. The couple, witnessing the unity and resilience of the Qinghua Nation, felt a profound sense of hope and belief that by holding fast to their country, they would undoubtedly survive the apocalypse.

Years later, as the apocalypse finally drew to a close, Shen Yanming embraced his beloved wife and whispered, “Shouldn’t we consider having another child?”

With a playful pout, Bi Qiao’an replied, “Aren’t two enough?”

Everyone in Xiangyang Village knew that the newly arrived educated youth, Cheng Qiao, was a naive and sweet person who, even after being deceived, would cheerfully speak up for others.

In the end, she was ruined by the village’s most slovenly, shameless, and impoverished scoundrel and ended up pregnant, and marrying him.

A few years later, the scoundrel fell off a cliff and died.

Not long after, the child they had together drowned in the river.

The villagers said she had a hard fate and was unlucky, so they drove her away.

Cheng Qiao didn’t believe in superstition. She always felt that a dark hand was manipulating her life from the shadows. So, she swore to find out who was behind it all.

When the culprit smugly told her they enjoyed seeing her in pain, Cheng Qiao snapped. She strangled the culprit in a mad rage, and they died together.

Now reborn, Cheng Qiao returns to settle the pain and suffering she endured in her past life with those who had tormented her.

As for the scoundrel? She held him tightly. Without her permission, no one could take his life…

Piercing curses echoed in her ears as Wen Nuan opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Wen Qing’s face, twisted with disgust.

The pain in her body brought her a trace of joy.

She couldn’t believe it—she had actually been reborn.

Reborn to the moment when she was framed by Wen Qing, forced by her biological father and stepmother to take Wen Qing’s place and go to the countryside.

Recalling her previous life, the desperate longing for her father’s love and care… Wen Nuan fell silent for a moment.

After five years of bitter struggle in the countryside, she finally managed to return to the city, only to have her apprenticeship slot snatched away by Wen Qing. And what did her beloved father say then?

“Wen Qing is your younger sister. What’s wrong with letting her have it?”

Both were daughters of the Wen family, yet why was she always the one abandoned?

Terrified that she might ruin Wen Qing’s plans, her father and stepmother drugged her and sold her off to the remote mountains, where she suffered unimaginable torment until her death.

Who would have thought… the heavens truly had eyes—she had come back.

This time, facing her hypocritical father, the scheming stepmother, and the two-faced younger sister pretending to be a heroine, Wen Nuan stood tall.

“Everything you took from me—give it back! One slap after another, starting with this stepsister who’s been suppressing me all along… Scum, get ready for what’s coming!”

After emptying the family assets and severing ties, Wen Nuan packed her belongings and headed to the countryside with style and determination.
