To get her internship certificate stamped, Ding Lei used connections to get into her cousin-in-law's company.... more>>

To her embarrassment, her cousin-in-law's daughter, Xi Zhen, seemed to have a problem with her.

Several times, while Ding Lei was still hesitating whether to greet her, she saw Xi Zhen walk away quickly with a cold expression.

Fortunately, the internship period required by the school was only six months. Once the time was up, she could get her stamp and leave.

*

To ensure Ding Lei had a ride to and from work, their elders arranged for her and Xi Zhen to live together.

Their initially awkward cohabitation gradually took on a different flavor.

The woman who initially avoided her began to have an increasingly strong presence in Ding Lei's work and personal life.

"Duoduo, I have a document here. Come and get it."

"Stay for dinner? I can't finish all this by myself." The dishes laid out were all Ding Lei's favorites, and chopsticks were already thoughtfully handed to her.

*

On the last day of her internship.

"Director Xi, these are the documents that need your approval and stamp."

"So happy? Did something good happen?"

"My internship certificate is stamped! Once these are done, I won't have to come anymore!"

After the documents were processed, she was pressed against the desk, and the woman whispered in her ear, "Where should the other stamp go?"

Ding Lei, blushing and annoyed, covered her mouth and threatened weakly, "You, if you do this again, I'll tell Sister Yongmei!"

Xi Zhen smiled, "Tell her what? That I'm being insubordinate?"

*

The perennially unchanged archives department added a new position, and on the same day, an intern joined, accompanied by the HR Director.

The intern, Ding Lei, was sweet, cute, well-behaved, and soft-spoken. In contrast, Young Director Xi Zhen was aloof and formidable; no one dared to make mistakes under her supervision.

Gossip is human nature. Everyone felt this newcomer with connections had a significant background. Some even speculated she was the CEO's illegitimate daughter, Young Director Xi's half-sister (from a different mother).

However, the two looked nothing alike and their styles were polar opposites, so discerning people scoffed at the latter speculation.

After it was noticed that intern Ding Lei and Xi Zhen were never seen in the same place, the illegitimate daughter rumors intensified.

Until someone witnessed the intern sitting in Young Director Xi's passenger seat in the garage, car door ajar, the two kissing passionately.

Huh? Can blood sisters do that?

So, not sisters, but lovers? Were they avoiding each other all along to keep it secret???

The rumors took a 180-degree turn, but the individuals involved were completely unaware.

Later, someone reporting work happened upon the CEO and the intern both in Young Director Xi's office.

Oh ho, now there's a show to watch!

Indeed, the CEO was very angry; her voice carried through the slightly ajar door.

"Xi Zhen! Duoduo is your younger aunt! How can you address her by her full name?!"

What? Aunt and niece?!!

*

After work, inside Xi Zhen's car.

After a lingering, deep kiss, Xi Zhen asked, "Shall I take you home tonight?"

"N-no, I'm not going back," Ding Lei said softly, her face flushed red, head lowered.

"Then, Little Aunt, one more time, okay?" <<less

“Are you there?”... more>>

Late at night, she sent the first message to a man she had only met once.

From that moment on, it spiraled out of control.

Until one day, she found herself in dire straits, stumbling toward him in desperation.

But he walked straight past her without even a glance, as if they had never known each other.

She woke up completely.

Those turbulent undercurrents she had seen in his eyes during their most intimate moments—they weren’t love.

They were just her overestimating herself. <<less

Why a deposed princess? Her prospective husband was lame, a widower, and five years her junior. That's what Beomyun found amusing. His overprotective mother, who fretted over him as if he might be grazed by an arrow or nicked by a blade, had brought him this preposterous bride, despite his pleas to be sent to the battlefield. He had to see it with his own eyes.... more>>

And she was even more insignificant than he'd imagined, and even more interesting.

"You smell of death."

"I will make you Emperor."

The deposed princess claimed she wasn't his enemy.

"You called me 'husband' so sweetly on our wedding night. I'm hurt, my wife."

"Say it was a joke. Quickly."

Beomyun languidly smiled at her crumbling expression.

"I will visit your chambers tonight, my wife."

"Your Majesty..."

"You'd do well to accept my respect quietly while it's being offered, my wife."

Beomyun's warning, born of his inherent arrogance, struck her ears sharply. <<less

A brother who resented her after their mother’s death.

Edelweiss spent her life desperately longing for their love,

comforting herself with the hope that they would one day turn to her.

“I went through so much to make you infertile, and finally, this moment has come.”

Abandoned by her lover for being infertile,

she discovers the betrayal of the one person she trusted—her half-sister.

“You said… you’d be my family… I’m your… sister…”

Rosemary shoved Edelweiss in the chest with all her strength.

“My dear sister. Farewell. I truly enjoyed our time together.”

And just like that, Edelweiss was brutally mu*dered by Rosemary.

***

By some miracle, she is given a second life.

Returned to a past where she can change everything,

Edelweiss vows to take revenge on Rosemary.

Her first move:

The Grand Admiral of the Navy, the sole legitimate prince of the Rejenoel Empire—

Damian Rejenoel.

“Why did the lady come to me, of all people?”

“Because you’re someone my sister could never have.”

It was marriage to the man Rosemary loved.

She wanted her to feel the pain of betrayal from the one she trusted most.

She hoped everyone would abandon her once the truth she so desperately hid was revealed.

That she would fall hard after believing she had reached the top.

“Don’t be too bitter. Now it’s your turn to regret.”

Just as Rosemary once did to her—

Exactly the same. <<less

Liv Rodaise was an ordinary tutor.

To pay for her sick sibling’s medicine, she had discreetly posed as a nude model a couple of times. She thought it wouldn’t be an issue—after all, only her back was painted.

That is, until someone purchased the nude painting that revealed her profile.

***

“God may listen, but He doesn’t grant wishes.”

The words were muttered cynically, barely loud enough for Liv to hear.

“The power to achieve something lies with humans, Teacher.”

His low voice was chilling, yet somehow alluring, like the song of a siren.

His blue eyes, which had been fixed on the statue, flicked down to Liv.

“So, pray to me.”

The marquis’s lips twisted ever so slightly. That fleeting moment of eye contact felt like an eternity.

Female Lead – Cheon Suji

"You're incredibly wet. More than usual."

"Yes, ah, aah!"

My hips jerked at the slightest touch to my swollen bud. The fingers that had been teasingly wandering finally smoothly caressed my entrance. And soon after, they invaded inside.

"Aaah...!"

My thoroughly wet insides clung moistly, seeking stimulation. As if crying out that just one finger was too small, I eagerly s**ked it in. It was a sensation I never intended, purely instinct.

"Why are you so demanding..."

No. That's not it.

The intention to refuse only circled in my head, then scattered into whiteness at the pressure pressing firmly against my inner walls.

"Mmm, ah, aah!"

When the fingers entering me became two, shamefully, my excitement heightened. I literally lost my reason and could only moan in pleasure.

"I told you not to be so impatient."

His eyes were gleaming fiercely. <<less

A woman must be well-versed in music, singing, painting, dancing, and modern languages. Her appearance, posture, voice, tone, and manner of speaking must all possess a certain quality.

This is Darcy’s idea of a perfect woman (excerpt from the original work).

Now, imagine an ancient noble princess from the past suddenly inhabiting Mary’s body. How would Darcy react to his ideal woman standing before him?

Author has something to say: Some might say that my female lead is a bit “overpowered,” but I can only respond that music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and etiquette were essential skills for noblewomen in ancient times. It would be odd if she didn’t know anything!

Alright, after several days of cramming, I admit that this story is a bit of a self-indulgent fantasy with an all-powerful heroine. If you can’t handle that, now’s your chance to escape!

Male Lead: Li Juefeng

"Be my lover until I get bored."

The first time they met, he took her by force and compelled her to become his lover. For 33 days, she endured his relentless and infernal demands, becoming nothing but the devil's possession.

"I've earned enough money. I'm leaving. Goodbye." She walked away, head held high, with nothing but her belongings.

But the devilish CEO issued a worldwide search: "Woman, think you can run? First, leave my heart behind!"

This is a game of conquest and counter-conquest-whoever falls in love first loses. She can't afford to lose. The only thing she can protect is her own heart.

For Chu and Gu, it seems their fate was sealed from that single one-yuan1 coin-destined to meet but never be together. Why can't they return to the past?

Dreams of a warm Dream House, shimmering princess gowns, and a snow-white samoyed named Bobi all linger in her mind. The faint strains of Chopin's Nocturne No. 9 flowing through her fingers, the sweet and sour taste of Sweet and Sour Fish...

Too many memories, fragile promises as delicate as crystal glasses-that shatter into pieces.

The wind has chased the leaves for fourteen years, but fate, it seems, was already written-written to be a lifetime of yearning. You walked through a fairy tale, pure and flawless. Who waits beneath the swing, hair turned gray?

We lost each other in a single corridor, and from then on, we went our separate ways. Quietly beneath the wooden moon, the years have blurred the clarity of time.

Transmigrating into a book, Ye Linglong became the malicious cannon-fodder female supporting character in a cultivation novel. Her aptitude was terrible, and she even forced the female protagonist to take her into the top sect during a cultivation tournament. After joining, she kept opposing the female protagonist, only to meet a tragic end.... more>>

To happily survive, Ye Linglong immediately gave up on threatening the female protagonist and turned her back on the prestigious sect. She joined the worst sect in the cultivation world instead. Being a malicious supporting character? Not for her! She just wanted to live beautifully on her own.

She thought joining the worst sect would let her laze around, eat, drink, and play like a salted fish. But who would’ve guessed that everyone in this “worst” sect was a borderline-insane villain, constantly on the edge of corruption, ready to sacrifice themselves one by one to the female protagonist?

Wait… Is their sect about to be wiped out? Don’t panic, she’s got this.

First Senior Brother: Seeks revenge after his entire clan is massacred, rampages through the cultivation world, but is eventually defeated by the female protagonist?

Junior Sister: "Senior Brother, I know her cultivation, techniques, and all her treasures. Come on, let’s power up! We can’t lose!"

Second Senior Brother: Hides his demon bloodline but is discovered and hunted by everyone?

Junior Sister: "Why are you hiding? With your badass bloodline, you could dominate both realms! I even know where the interdimensional portal is—go conquer them!"

Third Senior Brother: Becomes a demon after his golden core shatters and his meridians are ruined, eventually becoming a major boss defeated by a coalition?

Junior Sister: "I know a place where you can rebuild your golden core and repair your meridians. Hold on, we’ve got this team fight in the bag!"

Fourth Senior Brother: Falls in unrequited love with the female protagonist, gets heartbroken, and turns dark, only to be killed by the male lead?

Junior Sister: "This won’t work! Look, Simp No. 1 gives her treasures, Simp No. 2 signs contracts… You, Simp No. N, might as well just sacrifice yourself!"

When going out to collect some medicinal herbs in Qingfeng Valley, she kindly rescued a male side character. The man woke up and saw the female lead and became eternally grateful to her instead. He thought that the monster that hurt him was brought by the small cannon fodder so she was punished.

The cycle repeated and eventually everyone she saved blindly loved the righteous female lead. Ultimately she was killed by one of the men who was entangled with the female lead.

So after her rebirth, she began to firmly adhere to the principle of ‘pay me first, then I’ll cure you’.

Male lead, the most important one, charged him 100 times!

At the low call, Haewon turned around to face Kangwoo.

“I’m not a scholarship student anymore.”

That rebellious voice only sounded sweet to him. He had fallen, and fallen hard.

“Then what should I call you, Attorney?”

“No. I joined your company, Executive Director. I’m an employee now, so just call me casually.”

She said to call her casually, yet discomfort was written all over her face. Even that looked beautiful to him—was he completely hopeless?

Born as the eldest daughter of a prestigious noble household, she had been groomed since childhood to become the matriarch. Yet in the blink of an eye, she awoke in an unfamiliar era. Still, she remained the rightful firstborn daughter.

Her impostor sister prided herself on being refined, boasting of graduating from elite schools and surpassing others in talent? How dare she, when she couldn’t even master music, chess, calligraphy, or painting?

Her family claimed remorse but secretly favored the fake sister? No matter—manipulating household politics had been her childhood specialty.

A century and more ago, China was embroiled in turmoil and instability. Opium usage was rampant in the country. Foreign powers carved up China’s land into foreign-controlled concessions and leased out lands. The Qing Dynasty was on its last legs. Military warlords and cliques fought for power. People rose up to fight for change, some wanting reform and to institute a constitutional monarchy, some wanting a revolution, to completely change the political situation.... more>>

This is the backdrop of our story, which opens in the year 1911. It is truly a historical romance, with many references to historical events and people.

Shen Xi is a wanted criminal of the Qing Dynasty, not for any crime that she committed but because her father was charged as a reformist and punishment was doled out to the entire clan. She has been living hidden away in the dirtiest of places, until one day something happens and she is rescued by the Third Master of the House of Fu, Fu Tongwen. Third Master Fu, the romantic, suave young master known for his love of women and frivolity, whose wealth is countless, sends her abroad to study and guarantees the safety and well-being of the rest of her life. She thinks that the ties between the two of them are merely the letters she regularly posts to him and the replies he sends back, but one day he appears in the parlour of her townhouse in New York. During this time, her interaction with him increases until one day she abruptly makes the decision to return to China. In her travels and interaction with him, she learns that this man who on the outside appears to be (by a modern-day terms), a playboy in reality holds a heart for his country and its people and carries a longing to bring change—to see a China restored to splendour and prosperity.

The Third Master Fu of her first encounter with him was a rich, frivolous young lord who would reserve half of an entire venue for only the purpose of increasing the popularity of the entertainer he was fond of, a man who liked to sit with one ankle resting on the thigh of the other leg, his head tilted to the side to quietly converse with the wealthy young masters around him. In the glow of lamplight, the side view of his face exuded an air of dissolute suaveness. It was only later that she saw the real him: In the dim illumination, what he sat upon were actually piles of white skeletons and what he guarded were the vast, magnificent lands of the nation. <<less
