Lu Zhan, the eldest son of the Duke of Qi, had an elegant demeanor and was gifted with outstanding talent, but Wei Heng felt that he was really no good man.

When admiring the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, she fell into danger. Although he appeared to save her, in the blink of an eye, he was already teasing her by all means.

What’s more, she has a weight in her heart and only hopes for the phoenix to reach nirvana and to be reborn from its ashes, but his appearance always reminded her past embarrassment.

She thought that by agreeing on a marriage, she could stay away from the conflicts and quarrels, and He thought that as long as they were thousands of miles apart, they could live in peace. But who knew that the red thread of fate was tying tighter and tighter.

They obviously didn’t fall in love at first sight, and they knew that the road ahead would be difficult. This time, can their persistence this time bring peace and quiet in the years to come? <<less

I had a surprise wedding with this man, Eric Orleans, who was originally supposed to be my brother, after I ran away at night. Originally, it was my mother and Eric Orleans’s father who should have been here now.

A visually impaired fortune teller who had set up stall at the entrance of the alleyway once told me, “Your love life is destined to be tragically entangled with a man, and it will not come to a good end.”... more>>

My payment to him was a half-drank soda can stuffed into his hands.

I walked away with an air of indignation. “Hey, you haven’t paid!”

His yelling was still audible from a few blocks away.

Are you for real, you could not even tell if your customer is a man or a woman, what fortune can you possibly tell?

Count yourself lucky I did not thrash your stall.

Sitting here at the train station, with my cheeks swelling into the size of a pig’s head, disheveled clothes, both hands empty, I recalled the words of the fortune teller.

It is a pity before today, I have been living the life of a fool.

Not only did I not redeem myself from being involved with a man, I did not discern that I will never come to a good end……..

Years later, the former Qing Leng Xueba[1] became the biggest name in the business world, but he married the second lady of the Yi family who was not favored and had a bad temper.

But no one know, why Yi Yan married Jiang Xiche. There were three reasons; First because of money; second because of how handsome Jiang Xiche looks and the last reason was to annoy her elder sister.

Unfortunately, after marriage, she was ridiculed by her elder sister as a “living widow”, because she lived separately from her husband for a long time.

But one early morning, Yi Yan was shocked to find herself in the arms of a handsome man, “Why are you here? When did you come back?”

The person who flew back from Italy overnight said with a low expression: “I arrived in the middle of the night, after finishing my work.”

Yi Yan and Jiang Xiche slept in the same bed for two months, and Jiang Xiche’s physical desire for her remained at kissing.

Even when she took the initiative to seduce him, he would be the same; calm and relaxed.

Seeing this, Yi Yan started to think that her charm was not enough, and she slowly began to lose her self-confidence, due to which she became quite frustrated.

Until one day the two had a conflict, Yi Yan came home at night and lied to Jiang Xiche that she had cheated on him and that she had just come back after having fun with other men.

The man who had always been calm and self-sufficient suddenly seemed to have changed. Confining her to the wall, like an awakened demon, he looked extremely dangerous.

Yi Yan was frightened and asked Jiang Xiche, “What do you want to do?” The other party’s voice was deep, “It’s exciting to play with you.”

Fellow cultivators respected him, disciples admired him, and demon cultivators feared him. If it weren't for his ignorant, incompetent, and inconsiderate Dao companion, he would have been almost perfect.

Meng Xueli's talent in cultivation was mediocre; he lacked a refined and ethereal demeanor and had never cultivated seductive skills. He was merely an ordinary beauty. The cultivation world was not short of beauty; being ordinary was almost synonymous with being tacky.

Ji Xiao unexpectedly took a liking to such a tacky Meng Xueli, revealing that cultivation does not necessarily elevate one from having bad tastes. His aesthetic judgment was indeed questionable.

It wasn't until the untimely demise of Ji Xiao Zhenren that Meng Xueli, at a young age, found himself widowed.
