#Devoted Love Interest #Doting Love Interest #Second Chance

Shen Shuyue never imagined that when she finally heard news of Pei Guangji again after many years, it would be of his death. Even less did she expect that alongside the news of his death came another revelation: originally, the very next day, he was supposed to come to her home to propose marriage. Was fate really playing such a cruel trick on her? Had she known that he had also secretly admired her for years—when they spent their youth together day after day—they should have become a wedded couple long ago, sparing them all of these present twists and turns. Transported back eight years in time, Shen Shuyue looks at a Pei Guangji who doesn't even know her yet, and decides to exert just a little bit of charm to win him over early. Seven flowers, seven chances to return to the past. Shen Shuyue used only a single flower to win Pei Guangji over. Yet she used up every single flower, and still couldn't save him. — "If I can no longer see the yesterday's you, I will never be able to walk forward into tomorrow with peace." — "I know that fate lies before me, but behind me is you." Reading Notes: ‱ Primarily romance, supplemented by suspenseful court politics/strategy. Happy Ending (HE); sweetness outweighs angst. ‱ Fictional background with many custom settings; please do not treat it as historically accurate.

A clear-headed heroine versus a loyal, straightforward hero. Shen Qingwu, a modern chief researcher of Chinese herbal medicine, transmigrates into the body of a refugee in a frontier settlement. To protect herself and her younger brother, she is forced to marry Xie Heng, a lame discharged soldier despised by the entire village. Everyone laughs at her for marrying a good-for-nothing and assumes she is destined to suffer for the rest of her life. On their wedding night, Xie Heng apologizes softly. “You've been wronged by having to marry me.” Shen Qingwu smiles. The man is tall and broad-shouldered, with eight-pack abs and rugged good looks. As for which of them is getting the worse deal, that remains to be seen. While every household in the village fights over even wild vegetables, her family eats meat until they are stuffed at every meal! When troublesome relatives come to seize their food, Shen Qingwu uses both gentle and forceful methods to send them running in disgrace! Everyone believes she was merely lucky enough to find some food, but only Shen Qingwu knows that she possesses a golden finger, allowing her to enter the mountains as if she were shopping for supplies. And her taciturn, fiercely protective husband is her greatest trump card.

#Acting #Female Protagonist #Marriage

A Drama-Prone, Fussy Concubine × An Endlessly Tolerant, Devoted Young Master] (An ancient-setting romance full of mutual pampering + a heroine who imagines people are plotting against her + a twist on the usual tropes, with no inner-household power struggles) There is a reason she is worth twenty taels of silver. The moment Madam Duan saw her, she decided the girl would be good at bearing children! After entering the household as a concubine, her task is to give the Duan family descendants and prevent their line from dying out. The young master is prone to worrying and hard to coax. She speaks softly, flirts gently, and treats him with every tenderness. She makes his ears flush red and leaves him dazed with desire; his body proves more honest than his words. The man who used to hide whenever he saw her now holds her in his arms every night and refuses to let go. She had expected to face a jealous young madam. But where was the promised household intrigue? Where was the battle between wife and concubine? In the end, she was the only one putting on a one-woman show. Coaxed, cherished, and indulged, she sails smoothly through life, blessed with many children and much good fortune. When she suddenly looks back, she realizes that she has somehow become the very person she once never dared to imagine becoming. A life of complete fulfillment. Oh, wait. There is still a hyper-aggressive biological father who appeared out of nowhere, took to banditry, and needs to be dealt with. The key point—everyone else is honest and straightforward. She's the only black-sesame tangyuan: sweet on the outside, with a dark heart hidden inside.

Su Tang, a formidable wielder of wood-element abilities who had grown up in the apocalypse, blew herself up while holding the Zombie King in her arms to protect her base. When she opened her eyes again, she had somehow arrived in the Great Xia Dynasty. Su Tangtang, the simple-minded young lady of Marquis Anle's Residence, had chased after her fiancé for three years. Pei Yanli, the third son of Duke Ning's household, had grown so fed up with her that he tricked her into picking flowers at a cliff, where she accidentally fell to her death. With the original owner's life at an end, Su Tang happened to take over her body. Marquis Anle's Residence was splendid on the outside but rotten within, so poor that even mice refused to visit. On top of that, there was her wastrel father, her indecisive mother, her ridiculous brothers, and a household falling apart. Marquis Anle might have been poor, but he certainly knew how to father children. Su Tang had a quarrelsome eldest brother who was always ready for a fight, a withdrawn and gloomy second brother, a third brother fond of drinking and gambling, a weak and ineffectual little brother, and a mother with a round, pregnant belly. Faced with a family like this, Su Tang slammed her hand on the table. So what if they were poor? If they lacked something, they would simply take it. As long as she grabbed money fast enough, poverty would never catch up with her. Fortunately, she still had her wood-element ability. Wherever there were plants, no secret could be kept from her. Through a series of unexpected turns, she saved the frail only son and heir of Prince Li's household, helped an imperial prince find the former dynasty's treasure, helped the Emperor prevent locust plagues and epidemics, and helped with still more besides... Gradually, more and more people set their sights on Su Tang, trying every possible way to marry her into their families. Thanks to his daughter, Marquis Anle received an official appointment for the first time in his life and was finally able to attend court. Before his first appearance, he spent several nights worrying that someone would discover what a good-for-nothing he was and make trouble for him. After attending court, however, Marquis Anle was astonished to find the officials showering him with goodwill. Every one of them seemed to want either to become his son-in-law or to become his in-law.

Jiang Zhenni didn’t want to die. After fighting against it, she discovered there was no way to escape the plot, so she decided to endure it. Endure it until the story truly began— Once Zhou Lixiao fell for the female protagonist, she could divorce him and spend the rest of her life loving herself.
