Updates are every other day at 3 PM.
Regarding Xue Shanhe, the Resilient and Independent Daughter of a Criminal Official: When I was almost reduced to an official slave, forced to serve men, it was Old Master Liang who saved my life. Therefore, I'm willing to do anything to repay his kindness.
It's alright if Liang Shao doesn't like me. It's also alright if we sign a divorce agreement on our wedding night. As long as Old Master Liang doesn't worry and lives a few more healthy years, I'll do anything.
For two years, I cared for the gravely ill Old Master Liang while secretly saving money. Once the Old Master passed away, I would honor my promise and leave with the divorce agreement. I planned to return to Jinling, rent a small courtyard by the Qinhuai River, and live by selling paintings. That sounded quite good.
The day after the Old Master's burial, I asked Liang Shao for the divorce agreement. His eyes widened, and his voice almost cracked, "You want a divorce?!"
He threw a huge tantrum and stormed out. But later that evening, he tiptoed into bed and hugged me, "Shan Shan, Grandfather's greatest wish was for us to have a child of our own. Let's fulfill the old man's dying wish before you leave, okay?"
Regarding Liang Shao, the Tsundere "Puppy" Doted on by his Grandfather and Brother: I, your young master, hate being controlled the most! If it weren't for Xue Shanhe, I would have decided my own marriage!
However, she is quite sensible. She readily signed the divorce agreement on the wedding night and even promised to leave immediately once Grandfather was gone. Good. I'll give her more money then, so she won't disgrace her status as my ex-wife.
It's just... having a woman in the house really feels different. My protective soft armor needs pink flowers and green leaves embroidered on it, and I need to bring a good luck charm when I go on official business... Tsk. She even secretly saved money, and only after much pressing did she shyly say, "I wanted to save some money to buy a top-notch soft armor for Second Master. When Second Master goes to Beimian in the future, it can protect him."
Would I, your young master, care for something bought with her small amount of money? That night, the wind was strong, and the divorce agreement blew over the candlelight, quickly turning to ashes. Oh well, if it's burned, it's burned. Writing another one would be too troublesome.
Regarding Liang Ye, the Upright and Self-Restrained Third-Place Scholar Brother: The first time I saw her, she was sitting beside Ashao, demure, with only a plain silver hairpin in her hair. I heard the servants say that her family was from Jinling, the only descendant of Grandfather's most favored student from years past. After her family was raided, Grandfather saved her so she wouldn't be enslaved.
I also heard that Ashao didn't like her, and he married her because Grandfather traded a chance to gain experience in Beimian for this marriage. But she seemed quite good to Ashao. When Ashao was drunk, she personally brewed hangover soup; when Ashao was injured, she cared for him tirelessly for two months.
Until that day, I accidentally found the divorce agreement in Ashao's study. So, all of this was just an act to repay Grandfather's kindness. Foolish Ashao, truly living in a blessed state without realizing it.
Later, after Grandfather passed away, she knelt before me: "I want to divorce Ashao, please help me, elder brother." Xue Shanhe, you came to my door on your own initiative.

CompletedThe most handsome man in Lin'an was Zhao Qingcun, the Prince of Luchuan. Due to a natural orchid mark on his brow, he was affectionately nicknamed "Orchid Gentleman."
This man was Yan Huaiwei's first love, her "white moonlight." They once swore vows beneath a pear tree and walked hand in hand by West Lake.
Yan Huaiwei longed to spend her life with him, but unexpectedly, she was slandered—he publicly declared that he detested talented women, especially the Yan family's talented daughter who dared to write him "Xiang Jian Huan."
With things coming to this, Yan Huaiwei had no choice but to marry a wealthy merchant from the market, as arranged by her parents. After marriage, her husband and her were at odds, and her in-laws were harsh. Yan Huaiwei struggled fiercely. Ultimately, due to a massive misunderstanding, she tearfully jumped into the Qiantang River.
Bad news: She really jumped. Good news: She was saved!
While recuperating, Yan Huaiwei learned of several distressing events that occurred after her "death." Every single one pointed to the culprit, Zhao Qingcun.
Enraged, Yan Huaiwei decided to immediately return and deal with that man named Zhao! So, she assumed the name "Lizhi" and infiltrated the Prince's mansion, intending to seek revenge. Who knew she would accidentally deliver herself to the Prince of Luchuan's bed?
Zhao Qingcun: Well, you got what you wished for. Yan Huaiwei: ...Come on! I'm not... not afraid of you! ...Mmm...
Unfortunately, Zhao Qingcun made a mistake. The current Yan Huaiwei was no longer the woman who only knew how to grieve for spring and autumn. Afterwards, while entangled in love and hate with Zhao Qingcun, she also schemed. Heaven rewards the diligent; she finally obtained crucial evidence that could condemn him to death.
But only then did she realize with shock that the truth of past events was completely different from what she had known! And Zhao Qingcun... he was already caught in a deadly trap.
Yan Huaiwei: (hands a wine cup) I can't drink anymore. Zhao Qingcun: Do you know, for a woman to hand her unfinished wine to a man, that is flirting. Yan Huaiwei: (startled) I didn't mean to! Zhao Qingcun: Too late. Yan Huaiwei: ...Prince of Luchuan engaging in public indecency... shameless... Zhao Qingcun: ...Shameless be it.
All misunderstandings written in the synopsis will be resolved in the main story—the male and female leads are each other's "white moonlight." The setting is the Southern Song Dynasty; the characters and story are the author's original creation, a romance novel wrapped in historical costume, not a historical biography!
The explanation for why the female lead is still a virgin despite being married will be detailed in the book. Most of the content involving clothing, food, housing, travel, poetry, and songs has been researched, with a small portion being privately set for the sake of the story's appeal. All chapter titles are derived from the names of Ci (Song lyrics) tunes. This book is 1V1, SC (Sexual Content), HE (Happy Ending).
CompletedYou might not believe it, but I, Guan Shanyue, transmigrated into a heart-wrenching novel. Substitute for the white moonlight, running away with the child, chasing the wife in a crematorium scenario—this book has all those classic, melodramatic tropes.
A system, crackling with electricity, chased me, demanding that I complete the plot. This meant I, a diligent office worker, was forced onto the bloody, no-return path of a melodramatic heroine. I was disheartened, but when the car reaches the mountain, there's always a road.
So, when the male lead acted superior and humiliated me with money, I took the money and even leveraged some of his resources for small investments. When the vicious male supporting character cruelly humiliated me, saying, "You're just a canary who can't live without a man," I feigned sadness and tears, while quietly hanging up on my subordinate's call, thinking: "How many times have I told you not to call me for projects under ten million? I'm very busy!"
After a chaotic night fueled by alcohol, the white moonlight was about to return, and the "running away with the child" plot was about to begin. I looked at the male lead lying in bed, mercifully tossed him two hundred yuan as a tip, and wrote a suicide note.
The thought of his expression when he woke up made me burst into laughter on the plane. But, I wasn't pregnant. Oh well, I was disheartened, waiting for the system's electric shock. Hmm? Nothing happened.
I smacked my lips, and from then on, I lived a happy yet lonely life as a rich woman. Until—at a banquet, a little girl hugged my leg and cried out, "Mommy." I looked at her face, identical to mine, and my pupils dilated in shock, "I'm not your mommy, stop calling me that!"
The male lead caught up from behind, picked up the child, and looked at me as if he didn't know me, "The child is young, she made a mistake." Oh right, her mom probably looks exactly like me, the white moonlight.
After the banquet, I returned to my luxurious mansion, feeling relieved. The male lead was squatting outside with the child, waiting for me. He cornered me against the wall and demanded, "After abandoning us for so many years, you finally deign to appear?"
I looked at the child sleeping in his arms. "You have a child, what are you talking about?" The male lead caught my gaze and sneered, "The child is yours." Me: ?????
#Yes, we have a child# #Turns out someone else ran off with the ball# #About me suddenly having a child# Hint: Male lead and female lead are 1v1, SC. Content tags: childbirth, wealthy families, unforeseen circumstances, system, transmigration into a book.
CompletedSynopsis: Beautiful but sharp-tongued CEO uke VS Loyal, fit, self-brainwashing puppy seme.
Qin Jixiu, a favored son of heaven, became CEO of his family's group fresh out of a top domestic university. His only misfortune was stepping in 'shit' when it came to love. He dated an online boyfriend for over two years, who always made excuses to avoid meeting in person, constantly asking him for money, a car, and gifts. Later, he discovered the man was two-timing him.
A month later, an intern arrived at the group with a face identical to his ex-boyfriend's chat avatar. Qin Jixiu's expression twisted; he had been deceived by that handsome university student's face before. How dare this scumbag apply to his company?
He usually treated all subordinates equally, but for revenge, he made an exception and transferred the man to the CEO's office to torment him personally. Under the guise of concern, Qin Jixiu wantonly ordered and mocked the intern, completely oblivious to his subordinates' increasingly strange gazes.
“President Qin doesn't allow female employees to talk to the intern, he's super possessive, he really loves him!”
“The intern is going on a business trip with President Qin again, what's the difference between this and a sweet trip for two?”
“President Qin always closes the blinds when he calls the intern into his office; they're definitely secretly kissing behind our backs!”
Meanwhile, Shi Rui, due to an agreement with his parents, applied to a well-known large group in the industry. Half a day after joining, he transformed into the CEO's assistant. Colleagues whispered behind his back, saying he got into the CEO's office because President Qin fancied his face.
Shi Rui also thought so. When President Qin needed a car, he was asked to be the driver; when President Qin had social events or business trips, he was specifically designated to accompany him alone; when President Qin suddenly fell ill, he was asked to deliver medicine late at night.
If President Qin didn't have feelings for him, it would be difficult to explain why he desperately created opportunities for them to be alone.
Later, Qin Jixiu found out his scumbag ex used a fake photo and was completely dumbfounded. He called Shi Rui, his face filled with guilt: “You've worked hard these past few days. Ask for anything you want.”
Shi Rui's eyes darkened, and he crisply uttered one word: “You.” Qin Jixiu thought he coveted his position, and showed an approving expression: “With such ambition, you'll succeed in anything you do. But young people need to be patient and progress step by step.”
Shi Rui walked around the desk to stand before him, leaning down and saying in a husky voice: “They all say you have feelings for me. Don't you have anything to say?”
Qin Jixiu was not used to being looked down upon, especially by someone taller with a strong, 'dog-like' waist. He wanted to push the person away, but his hands were suddenly grabbed and pinned above his head. The man chuckled softly against his ear: “Didn't President Qin always want to 'unspoken rule' me? I've delivered myself to your doorstep.”
—“A good lover will guide you to explore desire, not just sex.”

The man on the bed glared furiously at Su Wei: "Poisonous woman, even as a ghost, I won't spare you..."
