In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she helped her husband pass the imperial examination, enter officialdom, and gain merits, yet she was rewarded with a cup of poisonous wine.

Before dying, her legitimate sister said: "Good sister, thank you for building such a large family fortune for my son and me!" In this life, she and her legitimate sister are reborn simultaneously.

Her legitimate sister clamors for a marriage switch, wanting to be with the world's son "from beginning to end, flying together, sharing glory." Of course, Wen Yan fulfills her wish!

She turns around and marries a sickly, poor scholar, befriends a great Confucian, is admired by painting masters, and her business flourishes. Moreover, the highly respected old Princess provides protection and guidance.

Is her legitimate sister jealous? Is her ex-husband regretful? They've all been reborn, who still wants to engage in poverty alleviation?

It's just that... her supposed short-lived husband, who should have died early, is not only alive and kicking but also made her a zhuangyuan's (top scholar's) wife!

Wen Yan asks: "You said my short-lived husband dying would mean I'd be a widow, free to travel, sightsee, eat, drink, and play?" Her short-lived husband takes her hand with his distinctly muscular arm: "My wife, how can mountains and rivers be as fun as your husband?"

Synopsis: It's finished, but not recommended to read.

"If the elder brother dies and the younger brother succeeds, inheriting the elder brother's wife, what's wrong with that?"

When Pei Huaiguang first returned to Jinling, his elder brother, Pei Jinguang, took him riding through the streets.

They unexpectedly encountered the Wu clan's daughter, his elder brother's fiancée.

Pei Jinguang watched her graceful figure enter the marketplace, and a rare youthful shyness appeared on his handsome and resolute face: "The Wu clan's daughter has always had a reputation for chastity and serenity. I think... she is very good. What do you think, Erlang?"

He seemed not to notice that his younger brother's gaze was directed towards the same place as his own.

Pei Huaiguang withdrew his gaze, seemingly uninterested.

Pei Jinguang knew that his younger brother had been abducted by the Donghu people since childhood and later abandoned on the grasslands, making his nature untamed and aloof, so he just smiled.

But he didn't know that his beloved fiancée, the chaste and gentle Wu clan's daughter, would later be held tightly in his brother's embrace.

Synopsis: After two years of widowhood, Fang Ying's husband suddenly returned from the dead. Instead of joy, she felt only worry. The reason was simple: her husband had no idea he even had a wife named her.

After three years of campaign, Ji Yanlang, who had faced death countless times, returned victorious. He was shocked to learn he was already married, and to none other than Fang Ying, who he had always disliked since childhood?!

Fang Ying: "You've misunderstood. Actually, I deliberately did that to attract your attention because I secretly admired you."

Ji Yanlang sneered: "You'd better be telling the truth."

Years later, Ji Yanlang chuckled bitterly: "Even if it wasn't the truth, even if you were deceiving me, you should have at least seen the deception through to the end, shouldn't you?"

Zhang Family Village is nestled in the southwest of Kunshan. The continuous, undulating mountains act like a protective deity, nurturing the people who live there.

Synopsis: - Main text concluded, extras following the list -

- A resourceful and voluptuous beauty seduces a cold and aloof powerful official into breaking his vows; the cold and aloof official later goes mad -

Cui Yiluo was breathtakingly beautiful, with skin like jade and ice, yet she lacked family backing and struggled to reach seventeen under her stepmother's harsh treatment. A marriage contract, using her beauty as a bargaining chip, saw her stepmother marry her off as a second wife to a sixty-year-old elder.

But she never surrendered. After moving into the Jiang family, she set her sights on the most distinguished and reserved man in Shengjing.

The Jiang family was prominent, and the man in power was Jiang Yunjin, her nominal cousin. He was as radiant as the moon and meticulous in his conduct, holding a high position and significant authority at just twenty-one years old, decisive in his actions.

He was the most proper and the most cold-hearted. Yet, she was determined to break his propriety and drag him into lust. However, as the wedding date approached, Jiang Yunjin still treated her with indifference.

Just as she sought another way out, a servant at a banquet offered her wine infused with an exotic fragrance. Cui Yiluo twirled the wine cup, a faint smile playing on her lips.

That night, red curtains were scattered, all etiquette abandoned. The man suppressed a groan in her ear. At dawn, Jiang Yunjin gazed at her tear-filled eyes with a dark expression, his voice serious: "I will marry you."

Cui Yiluo successfully escaped the undesirable marriage, but even after marrying, Jiang Yunjin remained cold and unfeeling, except when in bed. She advanced inch by inch, feigning gentleness, but in her heart, she only wanted to completely destroy his rules and make him fall into depravity.

Because she loved to see him provoked, his eyes filled with desire, his breathing ragged. But she clearly knew that apart from that hint of desire, there was no affection between them.

Until that day, she was intercepted on her way out of the capital. The man, tall and straight like bamboo, obscured the sunlight. His handsome, deep-set face, shadowed and cold, was filled with gloom.

He slowly cornered her against the hard carriage wall, leaving her no escape. His lean fingers lightly traced her cheek as he said in a low voice: "A-Luo wants to go where? Why don't you continue deceiving me?"

"You wanted to abandon me for another back then, but you chose me in the end. Since you chose me, do you think you still have a chance to find him?"

Cui Yiluo completely shattered his decorum, but she never expected that once he broke free from the constraints of his rules, such ruthlessness lay beneath his cold exterior. The room door was tightly locked, utterly absurd.

Windows rattled as Cui Yiluo was pressed against the door, enduring. The man's eyes held an unmelting dark ink, his voice dark and hoarse, as he clenched her jaw, "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

Emperor Pei Chengjue, young and unfamiliar with love, one day encountered Qiao Tang outside the palace. Her face was as beautiful as a flower, and her smile was enchanting. He was momentarily lost in her beauty and summoned her into the palace, saying, "I just want to talk to my older sister."

Qiao Tang: "..." To phrase such forceful demand so innocently.

Qiao Tang had no feelings for the Emperor but was forcibly kept in the palace. The Empress Dowager, disapproving of her having been married, promised to release her once Pei Chengjue grew tired of her. To leave the palace sooner, Qiao Tang deliberately befriended him.

Pei Chengjue, having tasted love, was filled with a fervent and sincere heart. "I adore my older sister. Does big sister like me?" Qiao Tang coaxed, "I do." As Pei Chengjue approached adulthood, he remained stubbornly infatuated, relentlessly pursuing her.

She panicked. What happened to him getting tired of her? One day, Pei Chengjue overheard Qiao Tang's voice from outside the window: "Once His Majesty chooses a consort, I can leave the palace and perhaps return to Jizhou with you, my ex-husband." A gentle male voice replied, "It seems Tangtang truly dislikes His Majesty." "If His Majesty hadn't forced me into the palace..."

Pei Chengjue's eyes turned blood red. For the first time in his life, he experienced the heart-wrenching pain and hatred of being betrayed. For several days afterward, Qiao Tang was confined to her chambers. Pei Chengjue's once ardent eyes were now terrifyingly cold.

"Consort Hui still thinks I'm the same as before, that a few tears will make me relent?" The extremely aggressive man was no longer the easily coaxed youth. Qiao Tang swallowed the bitter fruit she had personally planted, biting her lip without a sound.

When the selection of imperial concubines was discussed again, Qiao Tang volunteered to leave the palace. Pei Chengjue's thin lips curled in a sneer, "Do you think I would keep a woman I'm tired of?" Later, he regretted every hurtful word he had spoken.

Reading notes: The Emperor is sincere and passionate in the early stages, then becomes twisted and tyrannical in the later stages; the heroine is a gentle, clear-headed beauty. She is not a virgin, he is. The heroine is 20, the hero 18 at the beginning. The hero calls the heroine 'older sister.' The heroine has her ex-husband in her heart in the early stages.

Follow-up novel preview: "An Old Friend in My Heart." Forced love + wife-chasing crematorium. In the second year of Jingming, spring, someone saw the Emperor following a woman down a long street. The woman had a graceful figure, her eyes were covered by a plain blindfold, and she held a young boy's hand. "Mother, this way." They soon disappeared, and the Emperor stood stunned for a long time.

The news reached the Empress, who that night found the Emperor wearing an old dress, looking weary and distraught in the candlelight. She thoughtfully suggested, "Since an old friend is so unforgettable, why doesn't Your Majesty bring her into the palace? If she minds, I will volunteer to leave the palace myself." The Emperor lowered his gaze, "She has remarried and has a child."

Asu brought her child to the capital with her husband, who was in poor health. Fortunately, a young man helped them. That young man became very close with her husband and even offered to heal Asu's eyes. Her husband was delighted and invited the young man to stay overnight at their home.

Late at night, in the gauze curtain, a hand caressed Asu's eyes, light as a feather, full of tenderness. Asu trembled slightly, "Hu-husband?" She waited a long time for her husband to reply. Puzzled, she turned over and bumped into a warm embrace. Then, a pair of arms held her tight, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The day before Asu regained her sight, her husband smiled at the young man, saying, "My wife is about to meet her benefactor." When Asu's eyes recovered, strangely, the young man was gone. Her husband was puzzled and described the young man's appearance to Asu. Asu panicked and decided to leave the capital the next day, but found the Emperor's carriage blocking the city gate.

Note: The Emperor and Empress's marriage is a political alliance with ulterior motives; they have no intimate relations. The heroine's marriage to her husband is a genuine one.

A story of unconventional desires and twisted relationships. Chen Jinshi, a young man who lost his mother in childhood, navigates life in a complex mansion with his siblings. When their father brings home Shen Ying, a gentle and nurturing woman referred to as "A'Mu," tensions rise. Despite their initial hostility, Shen Ying gradually assumes the role of caretaker, blurring the lines between maternal duty and forbidden attraction.

As Chen Jinshi matures, his resentment transforms into obsession. Years of suppressed emotions culminate in a dangerous dance of dependency and possession. Shen Ying, bound by gratitude to his late father, struggles to maintain boundaries even as the boy she raised becomes a man determined to claim her.

The narrative explores power dynamics through shifting perspectives – from a boy's rebellion against a surrogate mother figure to a young man's desperate attempts to keep the woman who shaped his life. Dark undercurrents of desire and manipulation flow beneath the surface of seemingly mundane interactions, building toward inevitable confrontation.

Young Miss Nie Xiangyi of the Yongyi Marquis Estate was a willful, flamboyant, and arrogant character. Despite her beauty and lack of talent, she insisted on marrying His Third Highness Xie Zhi, who was widely known and admired.

This became the talk of the capital, everyone laughing at Nie Xiangyi's wishful thinking. Everyone knew that Xie Zhi was as elegant and noble as an orchid, cold and dignified. Like the distant moon, he was naturally unattainable.

But by a twist of fate, Nie Xiangyi was drugged and could only turn to Xie Zhi for help. The usually ill-tempered and arrogant young miss, her voice soft, could only weakly cling to his neck, her eyes tearful, her voice choked with sobs. "Xie Zhi, please help me..."

Later, the Emperor granted a marriage, sealing their union. After marriage, even though he was indifferent and distant, Nie Xiangyi remained full of ardent passion for him. All because of a fleeting heart flutter she experienced when she first saw him during the Lantern Festival in her youth.

By chance, Nie Xiangyi overheard him talking about her with someone else. Xie Zhi's voice was cold and impatient, "I've disliked her for a long time." It was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

She thought he was just naturally cold, but she never imagined he simply disliked her. Nie Xiangyi's eyes welled up with tears in anger, and a letter of divorce was delivered to Xie Zhi's hands.

Xie Zhi was taught from a young age how to be a good prince. He was disciplined and self-controlled. Until Nie Xiangyi rudely barged into his sight, making herself annoying. He disliked her imperious indulgence, disliked her reckless defiance.

He disliked her capriciousness. He disliked her liking the Wang family's young master today and taking a fancy to the Pei family's son tomorrow. He disliked her even more when she was drugged that day, causing his breathing to become erratic, tearing apart his facade of false indifference.

Until a letter of divorce was delivered to him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief for him, celebrating that he was finally free from this imperious entanglement. Who would have thought that Xie Zhi, who was always cold and self-controlled, would block Nie Xiangyi's path out of the capital, his eyes dark and inscrutable, his voice as cold as ice.

"Where do you think you're going?" Since you provoked me first, how can I allow you to leave so easily?

The following is the synopsis for the next novel, "The Cold and Aloof Husband I Forcibly Married is a Maniac": Liu Lingyue used some less than honorable means to successfully marry Pei Yuhuai. Pei Yuhuai was the only son of the Regent, as bright as the moon and as cold as snow.

Among the noble young masters in the capital, he was the most distinguished and unattainable. She didn't like Pei Yuhuai initially. She plotted to marry him simply because she wanted to snatch away something her legitimate older sister liked.

Liu Lingyue had many things snatched away by her legitimate older sister. Her older sister was favored, getting whatever she desired. In contrast to her older sister, Liu Lingyue was just a murky, dull fish eye, unnoticed by anyone.

Even her only outstanding feature, her appearance, was judged by the world as lacking in dignity, overly enchanting yet devoid of spirit, merely a wooden beauty, far inferior to her gentle and generous older sister. Until at a banquet, she saw her older sister blush as she handed a sachet to Pei Yuhuai.

After marrying Pei Yuhuai, the two, lacking affection, were united in name only. Yet she always felt a damp, sticky gaze secretly observing her from the shadows. Only later did she discover that this gaze came from her usually cold and noble husband, Pei Yuhuai.

Small scenes: 1. Liu Lingyue, having seen Pei Yuhuai's true face, wanted to escape. Pei Yuhuai smiled, fastening delicate gold chains around her ankles, his jade-like fingers gently caressing her crimson lips. Intense possessiveness almost overflowed from his scarlet eyes. "A-Yue is not well-behaved. You chose this yourself, how can you escape?"

2. Everyone said Liu Lingyue used clumsy means to scheme and marry the cold and upright Pei Yuhuai. Only Pei Yuhuai himself knew that when Liu Lingyue, blushing, handed him the drugged wine, his eyes deepened as he subtly curved his lips and drank the entire cup.
