Chu Xiu had spent years disguised as a man without a single slip—until her family arranged a marriage for her.... more>>

Baffled, Chu Xiu exclaimed, “I may dress like a man, but I’m truly a woman. If I marry a wife… how am I supposed to sleep with her?”

Her sister-in-law, however, misunderstood her concern. “Who says women can’t sleep together? It’s not like you don’t have hands and a mouth.”

Chu Xiu: “…”

To resolve the immediate dilemma, Chu Xiu paid five taels of silver and brought home a beautiful wife.

Her new bride was stunning—enchantingly so—but mute, unable to speak or even use sign language.

On their wedding night, Chu Xiu remained in her male disguise, while the bride merely smiled in silence. After a night together, both were very satisfied.

Chu Xiu thought to herself: Though my bride cannot speak, the occasional muffled moans she lets slip are more seductive than words ever could be—far harder to resist.

In the dim light behind the bed curtains, Chu Xiu held her new wife close, her hand gliding along her spine, kissing her ear again and again, whispering, “I like you so, so much.”

Years later, Chu Xiu—still in disguise—rose to the pinnacle of political power, second only to the emperor. She pushed through sweeping reforms, advocating for women’s education and improved rights.

When the world asked her why she cared so deeply for women’s equality, Chu Xiu answered honestly, “In the beginning, I only wanted to give my wife a chance to attend school and learn sign language.”

“If you never speak, then every love word in our life—let me be the one to say it to you.” <<less

Du Jingyi, bearing the tough identity, married into the Duke's residence, becoming the sixth daughter-in-law of a prominent family.... more>>

Her husband, the highly esteemed war god in the current Daxing Dynasty, was Shang Shaoyu, rumored to be notorious for mistreating women.

Originally, she thought it to be a match made in heaven.

Little did she know, on their wedding night, Shang Shaoyu only managed to lift the bridal veil, leaving with the words "Cezhou is in danger," and was gone for three years.

Upon his return, he realized the household had gained a new wife. Believing she had endured hardship, he discovered his secluded wife in the Xi Tang Courtyard was thriving better than anyone else.

The Duke's residence lived in a state of turmoil, but she alone lived a life of luxury and privilege...

Du Jingyi sought nothing more than a peaceful retirement, yet she was forced to navigate the complexities of the inner palace.

From graciously yielding half of her bed to an unexpected presence squeezed into her heart.

Ruan Mingfu has crossed over.

Her original identity was that of a genuine privileged beauty. Her father was a factory director, and her mother was the head of the supply and marketing cooperative. She had been pampered from a young age, but due to the turbulent times, she was sent to the countryside as an educated youth. As a delicate young lady who could hurt her hand just by pulling out a weed, how could she endure the hardships of the fields? She cried and whined, intending to secure herself a long-term meal ticket…

As soon as Ruan Mingfu opened her eyes, she found a man lying beside her. Worse yet, someone was approaching from outside, about to catch them in a compromising situation… Ruan Mingfu recalled the dilapidated educated youth spot, her parents who had been sent to a farm, and the local bully who had been eyeing her with ill intentions—

She gritted her teeth and decided to continue lying down.

Xie Yanzhao was handsome and had a bright future ahead of him, becoming a regiment commander at a young age. However, as he grew older, his personal life remained unresolved, worrying his superiors to the point of graying their hair.

News suddenly broke that Xie Yanzhao had gotten married, and it was said that his new wife was just a village girl from the countryside. When people heard this, they felt regretful, lamenting that such a fine man had to settle for so little.

But later, when Ruan Mingfu, with her stunning beauty, slender waist, and long legs, demurely followed Xie Yanzhao to the family compound, everyone was dumbfounded: This is what they called a village girl? How did I not get such a good deal! <<less

【Era + Fishing Village + Marriage Before Love + Doting Wife + Road to Prosperity】... more>>

"Ah-Chu, do you want a man or not?"

One moment, Song Nianchu was celebrating her company's stock market listing; the next, she transmigrated into the body of an orphaned girl in a 1970s fishing village.

The girl was young and beautiful, but she was born with monstrous strength—capable of killing a raging bull with a single punch. Nearly twenty years old, no one dared to marry her.

Her late father was so furious that he haunted her dreams every night, pointing at her nose and scolding her.

Coincidentally, a family sent down for "re-education" arrived in the village. Their eldest son was strikingly handsome, with an ethereal aura—the perfect candidate for a husband.

Pay the bride price, carry him home, and straight to the wedding chamber!

Uncooperative? No problem. She had plenty of strength and tricks up her sleeve.

But after the wedding, Song Nianchu couldn't get out of bed for three days, clutching her sore waist pitifully.

Who said pretty men were useless?

He saved every ounce of his energy just to exhaust her.

Mu Shi'an never imagined he'd marry a wife who could kill a raging bull with one punch.

At first, he thought it was just a desperate compromise, never daring to hope they could become soulmates.

But after marriage, he realized his wife was perfect in every way.

Beautiful face, stunning figure, incredible strength—even the sounds she made under the covers were so sweet he wanted to crush her into his bones and blood.

To have such a wife was the fortune of three lifetimes.

"Why did you apply?"

"Because I need money."

"Anything else?"

Hiding the feelings she had harbored for so long, she agreed to stay by his side and sleep with him to bear an heir. But this relationship, which was supposed to be purely transactional, began to take an unexpected turn...

"About what?"

"No matter what others say, I don't care. And I know what my role is. I've never harbored any hopes of being your partner..."

Yan Yuzhou slept for a while and found himself in a book, not only becoming an omega but also gaining a married status. His husband is a tycoon of a film and television company - Shen Ci.... more>>

Yan Yuzhou looked at the prenuptial agreement signed with Shen Ci, separate rooms, no marking, and divorce as soon as the time comes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But gradually, he noticed that this indifferent husband seemed to have some ideas about him. Not only was he on full guard against the alphas around him, he also liked to sleep holding him, and what's more, he would mark him temporarily from time to time.

Feeling uneasy, Yan Yuzhou threw out a piece of paper, defending his rightful Omega status — "I want a divorce."

Shen Ci waved his hand casually, a stack of property certificates laid out in front of him, leaving Yan Yuzhou bewildered.

Then, he circled him, with a playful tone, "Baby, all the property is yours, and I am also yours."

Corporate drone Lin Yi suddenly died from overwork and when he opened his eyes again, he had become the cannon fodder in a contract marriage with a wealthy tycoon.... more>>

In this marriage, Lin Yi had absolutely no presence. His overbearing CEO husband never came home, only sending a cold five million yuan allowance to his card each month.

Lin Yi: There’s actually something this good? Time to lie flat and coast!

On top of that, Lin Yi had a stepson.

His stepson, Huo Mianmian, was a three-year-old toddler—small, soft, delicate, and beautiful—but he was unusually quiet and extremely wary, rarely getting close to anyone.

Lin Yi didn’t need to raise the kid, so he lived freely. His biggest daily dilemma was figuring out how to spend money.

When he was happy, he would buy a shop; when he wasn’t, he would buy a sports car…

—

Due to a contract, Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian ended up appearing on a parenting reality show together.

The original owner of this body didn’t have a good reputation in the entertainment industry, and netizens immediately began mocking and ridiculing:

【Isn’t Lin Yi that attention-seeking nobody? He better not corrupt the kid!!】

【Exactly, I heard the young master of the Huo family has signs of autism. What if Lin Yi makes it worse?】

【Can Lin Yi just get out of the entertainment circle already!!】

But once the show started filming, things turned out very different from what the netizens had imagined.

The stepson was incredibly attached to Lin Yi, following him around like a little tail.

When the two were in a room together, wherever Lin Yi went, the stepson followed. If Lin Yi stopped, the kid would bump into him with a soft “thud,” then he would rub his little forehead with his chubby hand and keep following him without crying.

When they ate together, the stepson would carry his tiny stool and sit right next to Lin Yi. If he saw Lin Yi pushing aside the food he didn’t like, he would patiently remind him, “Xiao Ba, being picky is bad for your health~”

When they did activities together, other families were working hard to win games. Lin Yi would lazily lounge in a chair, patting the seat beside him. “Kiddo, come rest a bit.”

The stepson shook his head, then clenched his little fists and said in a soft baby voice, “Xiao Ba, wait for me to bring us first place!”

The stepson was sweet and obedient, and even when he acted up, it looked like this—

He would lie on the ground, whining and refusing to get up.

Lin Yi, sitting nearby playing on his phone, would casually remind him, “Move over a bit, the maid auntie needs to sweep.”

“Oh~” the stepson would reply obediently, scooting to the side. Once the maid finished cleaning, he would lie right back in the same spot.

The father and son duo went viral overnight.

【Lin Yi’s parenting looks way too easy!!!】

【Is Lin Yi some kind of child-rearing master? How did he get the kid to be so attached to him??】

Very soon, netizens discovered that not only was Lin Yi good at raising the kid—he had even managed to get the Huo family’s second young master and third young lady completely in line.

The once-hopeless second young master now stood on the championship stage of the world e-sports tournament.

The once-spoiled and willful third young lady had become a highly praised Best Actress.

These siblings couldn’t stop talking about how amazing their “Saozi” Lin Yi was and followed his every word.

Netizens were completely floored.

The man in question, Lin Yi, looked utterly unbothered.

Taming two big bratty kids? Isn’t that the easiest thing ever?

—

A hater exposed that Lin Yi and Huo family’s eldest son, Huo Jihan, were only in a business marriage and had no real feelings for each other.

Not long after, at the end of an event, the always cold and ruthless Huo Jihan pulled Lin Yi into his arms and kissed him—then carried him into the car…

The entire internet crashed.

I have to leave the house the moment I transmigrate?... more>>

I transmigrated into an R-rated novel as an extra — the daughter of a count.

Out of nowhere, I’m hit with bankruptcy, lose my home, and now I’m being forced into a marriage?

To make things worse, the new owner of the house is none other than the infamous Duke of Bloodstone — the man who supposedly destroys everything, be it people or property.

I can’t just get kicked out like this.

“What if there’s another way to protect White House?”

“…You mean, I just have to pretend we’re dating?”

I have to earn money and save the White House estate.

Even with just some basic interior design knowledge, people think I’m a genius.

“Fine. In this life, I’ll just focus on making money.”

But then…

At some point, the cold-hearted Duke of Bloodstone began to change.

“If you don’t want to die, you’d better cooperate with her business.”

He started threatening nobles and others behind my back, and before I knew it, his once emotionless red eyes were burning with desperate longing.

Diane’s sobs reminded Elaina of a book. Every night, she read the same book over and over again in her dreams. In the book, “Moonshadow,” Diane is sold off to become the wife of Archduke Grant due to family circumstances, preventing her from marrying the man she loves. The book ends with Diane, tired of her loveless marriage, taking her own life.

‘This can’t be happening!’

She had done so much to prevent Diane’s misery. Now she can’t stand by and watch her fall into the devil’s maw.

“Don’t worry, Diane.”

Elaina took Diane’s hand and reassured her.

“I’ll take care of everything.”

She will. Even if it means she herself marries him instead.

“You’ve interfered every time I tried to approach Diane Redwood, and now you want to marry me instead?”

“Think of it more like a one-year contract than a marriage. We can give and take what we want from each other.”

Lyle Grant looked at Elaina with confusion.

“What on earth for?”

“I have a heart that won’t let me turn away from a poor person.”

It wasn’t just for Diane. Diane, the protagonist, Nathan, the love of her life, and Lyle and his younger brother. Everyone in “Moonshadow” was unhappy, each for their own reasons.

“I promise, I’ll be your wife for a year, but I’ll do my best while I’m at it.”

"Dalia, time... Don't say the time we spent together meant nothing."

"And if it was nothing?"

Dalia's voice was calm, almost detached, her expression unreadable. It was so effortlessly indifferent that it left Curtis speechless.

Never in his life had anyone silenced him. No one had ever dared. But now, for the first time, his tongue refused to move.

Meanwhile, Dalia's pale lips - lips that had never spoken freely in his presence - parted, her words as soft and fleeting as a lark's song.

"It was nothing, Your Grace. That time... meant nothing."

A bond is not measured in time alone. Some fall in love in an instant, while others remain strangers even after a lifetime together.

Jiang Zao was the excess baggage fake heiress who came into the Xia Family when her mother remarried. Both she and the real heiress, Xia Chuwei, were reborn.... more>>

Unfortunately, Jiang Zao was reborn two days later than Xia Chuwei. The arranged marriage partners were switched, and Xia Chuwei married Jiang Zao's husband from her previous life, Jiang Jinfeng.

Jiang Zao, on the other hand, became the bride of Third Master Fu of the Lin City Fu Family.

Hehehe, Jiang Zao laughed.

Xia Chuwei probably didn't think that the Jiang Family's rise in her past life to become a dark horse in the business world and the richest family in Lin City was due to Jiang Jinfeng's own abilities, did she?

Waiting for Xia Chuwei to be slapped in the face, Jiang Zao quickly accepted her new identity. She saved Third Master Fu when he had a car accident, just like in her previous life, but he was still left with aftereffects, becoming a child with the intelligence of a three or four-year-old.

Being a child is great. No need for romance, no need to be respectful, and it doesn't affect her career.

The Fu Family, grateful that Jiang Zao saved Third Master Fu, and with the initial intention of keeping her around, spoiled her immensely, granting almost every request.

Jiang Zao lived her life raising a child and building her career, once again thriving as she did in her previous life.

What she didn't know was that every time the child fell asleep, Third Master Fu's soul would leave his body, never leaving her side, and he saw another side of her that no one else knew.

Later, the media interviewed Third Master Fu after his recovery, "Your wife was just photographed at the hospital, chatting enthusiastically with a popular young idol. We wonder if you..."

Third Master Fu immediately became anxious, "Zao Zao went to the hospital? Why did she go to the hospital?"

The interview was forcibly ended because Third Master Fu went to the hospital to find his wife. <<less

However, due to a temporal delay, the system hadn’t fully transmitted with her, leaving the mission details incomplete.

But Jiu Yue wasn’t bothered.

With her identity as a killer already set, how hard could the mission be? It was just a matter of the target’s rank.

With a confident smirk, she grabbed her broadsword and eagerly headed for the capital.

...

By the time the system reconnected, Jiu Yue had already become the top assassin under the Regent’s command.

Wiping her blade clean, she casually asked, "So, is the mission to kill the emperor, the empress dowager, or maybe even the Regent?"

The system: "...The mission is to marry into the royal family. Your betrothed is Prince Ping—yes, the corpse at your feet."

Jiu Yue’s hand trembled on the hilt: "...What?"

Regent Sima Qing had held absolute power for years, only to have an assassin slip through his defenses. He ordered a manhunt to scour the earth and find her.

But before the search even began, the assassin delivered herself to his doorstep.

"Recruiting? I kill without blinking," she said innocently, hugging her sword.

Sima Qing: "...Pathetic disguise."

So he played along, waiting for Jiu Yue to slip up while using her blade to eliminate his enemies.

Half a year passed, but instead of catching her in a mistake, Sima Qing uncovered her true identity.

On their wedding night, facing the woman who looked ready to die for honor, Sima Qing smirked and pressed the ceremonial wine into her hand.

Back at the age of 21, she had not married the selfish and vicious ex husband. But her stepmother tried every means to force her to marry for benefits. Chu Qiao wanted to be independent, so she had to register her hukou in the city. But her stepmother kept forcing her to marry. When she was desperate, Gu Ye, the hot-tempered uncle of her ex-husband, jumped out to propose marriage.

“Marry me, and let that dead calf call you aunt!”

Chu Qiao’s heart was moved. When she thought that her ex-husband was a generation younger than her, and would never be able to raise his head in front of her. She was inexplicably happy, she thought it was okay to get married.

"Yeah. I never want to carry on the Lancaster bloodline."

What had happened between Dalia and Leonald—who had been longtime friends—was nothing more than a fleeting pleasure in an otherwise dull and exhausting life.

But they never should have started that dangerous game in the first place.

Because of her leech-like family who were no help at all, marriage had never even crossed Dalia’s mind...

"I'm pregnant, apparently."

"…What? What are you talking about? Pregnant?"

She had ended up carrying Leonald’s child— despite swearing never to bear the bloodline of the Lancaster dukedom.

A fling should’ve stayed just that—a fling.

She tried to handle it on her own,but unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a secret you can keep forever.

And so, one day, she was found out by Leonald.

"I’m going to have this baby, Lancaster."

Struggling to suppress her sobs, she took a deep breath.

"Don’t worry, I won’t be a burden to you. If you understand now, then please leave."

She desperately hoped not to come across as emotionally pleading,but she had already exhausted far too much emotion.

Dalia turned away from him.

For a long moment, silence hung between them.

But soon, Leonald parted his lips, his thoughts made up.

"No need for more arguments. Marry me, Dalia."

It was a proposal devoid of romance—cold and desolate to the core. <<less

To deal with pressure from his family to get married, Shen Hechuan offered Qiao Le a marriage contract—ten million in exchange for a marriage on paper.

After the contract marriage, Qiao Le happily took the money and returned to school, thinking that once the contract ended, they’d just go their separate ways.

First love and unrequited love.... more>>

A somewhat pathetic love that she had cherished for over ten years, saying "just a little more" even though she knew she had to end it.
