Novel List

The new military wife, Chen Yun, has just moved into Apartment 302 in the family quarters of a regiment base.

What she doesn’t know is:

In Apartment 301 to her left lives a reborn farmer’s wife who’s ready to fight anyone and anything, especially toxic relatives.

In Apartment 303 to her right resides a career-driven military wife who’s traveled back from the 21st century, determined to achieve great things.

But Chen Yun doesn’t care about anyone else’s drama. All she wants is a simple and happy life with her husband.

In the blossoming days of spring, while the grass grows and warblers fly, the noble ladies of the capital are in no mood for outings.

For one, they can't stop gossiping about Miss Yang from the eastern part of the city. Originally a minor branch member of the prominent Yang family of Hongnong, she had been engaged to the son of the Grand Chancellor since childhood. Despite the Grand Chancellor’s family's esteemed position, they remained loyal and virtuous, unwavering in their commitment even as many high-born ladies coveted the engagement. However, when the Grand Chancellor’s family was exiled, Miss Yang unilaterally broke off the engagement—earning herself the title of a cold-hearted and faithless woman.

Meanwhile, in the western part of the city, Lord Wei, once the emperor's son-in-law-to-be, had been engaged to the emperor’s beloved legitimate daughter, Princess Xin’an. Before the marriage could take place, Princess Xin’an's brother rebelled, forcing Lord Wei to dissolve the engagement. He, too, became known as a heartless man who abandoned others in their time of need.

The people whispered: both are ruthless and treacherous—marrying either of them would bring ruin to one’s family.

Yet, three months later, Lord Wei proposed to Miss Yang. The public sneered, calling them birds of a feather, destined for a miserable union.

Unexpectedly, as time went on, the "faithless woman" and the "heartless man" became the capital’s model couple, shocking everyone.

As the stepmother’s legitimate daughter, Yaoniang’s position is awkward and unremarkable. Yet, she doesn’t mind as long as her life is peaceful and comfortable.

Zheng Huiyin and her sister Zheng Deyin both experience rebirth.

In their previous lives:

Huiyin married the puppet Crown Prince as a secondary consort, while Deyin married a powerful Duke as his official wife. Everyone believed Deyin had the better marriage.

However, Huiyin gained the exclusive favor of the Crown Prince for three years, even surpassing the Crown Princess. When the Crown Prince became Emperor, the Crown Princess died mysteriously, and the Emperor succumbed to his illness.

Meanwhile, Deyin’s marriage was plagued by her husband’s lingering feelings for his “white moonlight,” leaving her life bitter and lonely, ending with his untimely death.

This story unfolds slowly, capturing the intricate details of inner-courtyard conflicts and family drama.

From a young age, Yao Niang was praised by a fortune teller as blessed with wisdom and fortune. Outsiders marveled at her seemingly perfect life: her father hailed from the prestigious Yan clan of Jinling, her mother from the renowned Jie family of Dongshan, and she herself was a paragon of beauty and elegance. Surely, such a woman should live a carefree life.

But appearances are deceiving. Her father, having married into two families, left her mother with the title of equal wife but none of its actual status, making Yao Niang's position neither fully legitimate nor entirely illegitimate—a life as unsatisfying as eating half-cooked rice.

Her troubles worsened as she grew up under the shadow of her distinguished siblings:

Her noble and beloved elder legitimate sister, adored by all men.

Her talented, orchid-like elder illegitimate sister.

And her daring, passionate younger legitimate sister, spoiled to the core.

Yao Niang only hoped to protect herself and avoid trouble, but her peaceful aspirations were shattered when her elder legitimate sister fled from her arranged marriage. Suddenly, Yao Niang was selected as a replacement bride for her sister’s fiancé.

Yet, Yao Niang had her own principles—she detested eating "half-cooked rice." No one, no matter how powerful, could force her hand.
