In her previous life, Su Qingluo was the daughter of Jinling's wealthiest man. After her parents died young, she had no choice but to seek refuge with her maternal grandmother's family in the capital, where she became engaged to her cousin, Lu Yan. Little did she know that Lu Yan kept a woman on the side, ultimately causing her and her unborn child to die together. In this life, Su Qingluo is determined to break off her engagement to Lu Yan, only to be forced by her aunt to marry an unscrupulous thug. Just when she has no idea what to do, Grand Secretary Lu Hengzhi suddenly proposes that they enter into a sham marriage. Everyone in the capital knows that Lu Hengzhi is aloof and noble, ruthless and merciless, and utterly uninterested in women. Rumor has it that a maid once tried to seduce him and was immediately executed. With an indifferent expression, Lu Hengzhi says, “You and I will marry for our own purposes. After three to five years, I’ll set you free.” With nowhere else to turn, Su Qingluo grits her teeth and agrees. Yet not long after their wedding, Lu Hengzhi pulls her into his arms. Her voice changes pitch. “I thought this was supposed to be a sham marriage…” Lu Hengzhi raises an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with making it real?”

#Military #Arranged Marriage #Beautiful Female Lead

[A fair-skinned, beautiful, and delicate girl x a loyal, straightforward, and rough man; physical differences + everyday family matters] Chen Jiaojiao is the most beautiful girl in Ping'an County. With bright eyes and white teeth, a slender waist, and ample breasts and hips, she's the dream girl of every village. Unfortunately, Chen Jiaojiao is arrogant and only looks down on well-read, refined scholars. When she turned eighteen, her childhood sweetheart, the scholar, who had secretly pledged his life to her, passed the imperial examinations and abandoned her, making her the laughingstock of the entire county. Chen Jiaojiao, furious, consulted a fortune teller and carefully selected a man with the best birth chart, destined for great success and high office. The man had fierce features and was taciturn; Chen Jiaojiao's legs trembled at the sight of his muscular physique. But thinking of her lover who looked down on her because she was a village girl, Chen Jiaojiao resolutely married him. Xiao Li served at the border for five years, earning numerous military merits, but because his mother was seriously ill, he used his merits to request a year's advance to return home to care for her. His family was poor, and the money he brought back quickly ran out. Just when he was at his wit's end, Chen Jiaojiao suddenly wanted to marry him. Everyone said he had struck it lucky, not only getting a beautiful wife for free but also marrying into a wealthy family. But Xiao Li didn't think so, because Chen Jiaojiao was obsessed with becoming a marquis's wife, and even their intimate moments were seen as a favor to him. Xiao Li harbored a grudge and always tormented her until she begged for mercy, but her plump body never seemed to improve. Everyone was waiting to see the couple make a fool of themselves. But as they waited, Chen Jiaojiao, pampered by Xiao Li, became increasingly plump and voluptuous, her belly swelling again and again, and she really did become a first-rank marquis's wife!

The Emperor's Regret

Translator: Neila31

completed Drama Historical Josei

#Female Protagonist #Ancient China #Marriage

On the day Shaoyin returned to the capital after being widowed, nearly everyone in the capital believed she had come back for the current emperor, Xiao Heng. Everyone knew that Xue Shaoyin, the Empress's niece, had been infatuated with her maternal cousin, Crown Prince Xiao Heng, since childhood. They also knew that while she loved him, he had never returned her feelings. It was said that when the Crown Prince reached marriageable age, he personally removed Xue Shaoyin's name from the list of marriage candidates. Shaoyin threw a fit over it, ultimately enraging Emperor Chengzong, who ordered her to marry into a distant land and sent the clingy nuisance away for his son. Five years later, the Crown Prince Xiao Heng had already been enthroned for several years, while Xue Shaoyin, who had been married off far away, had become a widow. When she returned to her homeland after her husband's death, everyone assumed she would continue pestering Xiao Heng as she had in the past. The noble ladies competing for the position of Empress also regarded her as a formidable threat. Yet almost no one knew that Shaoyin had been the one to request the distant marriage. By the time Xiao Heng personally crossed out her name in front of her, there had not been even the slightest place for him left in her heart. Now, her heart belonged only to her late husband. In truth, it was the emperor secluded deep within the palace who had finally come to his senses and regretted everything night after night. Emperor Xiao Heng believed that Shaoyin's return could restore everything to the way it had been, never realizing that she already had an eternal white moonlight in her heart. Even as the Son of Heaven, there were things beyond his reach. In this world, no one could ever defeat a dead man in love. [The emperor grovels after losing his wife; the male lead's harem is merely for show, while the female lead's marriage to her late husband was a real marriage.]
