“Even if it’s my child, I can still not love them.”... more>>

The day she terminated the 5-year-long contracted marriage and filled out the divorce papers, Hilia left Caligo without a second thought.

Leaving the byproduct of the contracted marriage, their child, with him.

Hilia Halos was a woman who was colder, more selfish, and more wicked than anyone else.

[Here’s the alimony. Since I don’t need this anymore, I’ll hand it over to you.]

That was what he thought, until he ceded the baronial estate that she so coveted and disappeared.

***

Hilia was sure she would be indifferent. About leaving the child, and about abandoning the man who brought her excitement.

“Mother, you don’t, hab to, lub, Riche. Riche gonna, only come, sometime. Riche will, lub you more……”

She was actually indifferent.

She would have been in the future, as well.

If only the dirt-covered child didn’t just appear out of nowhere after four years and told her such a thing.

“So……!”

Tears dripped down the child’s cheeks.

Hilia backed away from the child, who was running towards her with arms wide open.

She could not be a good parent, nor could she love anyone.

“My baby, there are things in the world you just can’t love.”

So, after leaving that single comment, she turned away.

Pretending not to notice the unfaltering gaze in front of her. <<less

The young master of the Duke of Zhen’s manor, Li Ling, was talented, brave, and an outstanding man. However, his delicate wife Lady Shen felt stifled living with him. Five years into their marriage, she was completely compliant with him, yet he showed her not an ounce of warmth.... more>>

If it was simply due to his cold temperament, she could accept it. But when the Xiongnu invaded and the Ninth Princess was forced into a marriage alliance, Li Ling actually “flew into a rage” and requested to lead troops for the sake of his cousin the princess.

She finally understood the reason he treated her so coldly. She was so angry she didn’t want to stay married to him anymore. The divorce papers were already drafted, just waiting for Li Ling’s return to sign them.

Little did she expect that upon waking up one day, she found herself back at the time of her new marriage to Li Ling…

Li Ling married an obedient young wife who doted on him. Over a month into their marriage, she served him extremely well.

However, these past few days, Li Ling noticed his new wife acting strange. In the mornings, she no longer helped him dress. At mealtimes, she didn’t plate his dishes or pour his soup for him. At night, as soon as he approached her, she turned away.

The formidable and aloof Li Ling could no longer stand it. He leaned in and asked, “Wife, are you feeling unwell?”

She just gave him a cold look.

Li Ling scratched his head. “Having just arrived at the manor, are you still not quite accustomed, wife?”

Again, she remained silent with her head down.

Li Ling’s curiosity was piqued, so he could only closely observe her every move, hoping to discern what was on her mind.

One day at a polo match, he saw her cover her face and smile at a certain man on the field. Another day, he noticed her resting her chin in her palm, idly reading poems by a certain scholar. And at a palace banquet, he even saw the crown prince give her a slight smile…

Li Ling’s heart grew more unsettled with each passing day. <<less

"God always took away what I desperately wanted."

To survive, she considered living inconspicuously, adopting a laissez-faire approach, and avoiding the female protagonist. Eventually, she realized: she couldn’t hold back. Since then, she blazed a trail of seduction and destruction, unrivaled in her manipulative artistry…

With the arrival of new ladies-in-waiting, Zhu Yan, as a legendary figure in the palace, naturally became the object of their awe and envy. Each dreamed of becoming the next legend, stepping over predecessors to ascend.

Yet, where new faces smiled, the old ones wept. As one of the ‘old’, Zhu Yan thought: Better to wish for the emperor’s early demise than to waste time weeping. The emperor retorted, “Are you sure? As long as I live, you need not fear anyone in this world.” <<less

The Strawberry Demon, Mianmian, transmigrated into a period novel and became the despicable ex-wife of the male lead.... more>>

The scoundrel ex-wife used every means to marry the male lead. However, after the male lead got injured and crippled, she looked down on him and abandoned him for a young man from the city. Unfortunately, life in the city did not bring happiness to the despicable ex-wife. Instead, she was sold by the young man to a mentally disabled man's family and was eventually tortured to death.

When Mianmian transmigrated, the original female lead was attempting to force the male lead into a divorce by jumping into a river.

Mianmian: "…"

Looking at the outrageously handsome male lead, Mianmian's eyes lit up. Who needs a young man from the city when there's such a handsome male lead? Even if he's a cripple, at least she can enjoy an extra bowl of rice just by looking at him!

Shen Yi thought his wife had grown tired of him and would leave the village with the young man from the city. But to his surprise, she affectionately called him "Ah Yi" and personally cooked delicious meals for him and his family.

Not only that, he noticed his wife becoming more and more beautiful, delicate, and fragrant. Every time he looked at his wife, he felt like he was looking at a delicious fruit, always wanting to devour her in one bite.

Later, he discovered that his wife really was…

…

Recently, people in the army noticed that their Captain Shen Yi liked to boast, and every time he did, it was about his wife.

Shen Yi: "My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. No woman is more beautiful than my wife."

Everyone: "We heard Captain Shen's wife has pockmarks on her face. How could someone with pockmarks be beautiful? Captain Shen really knows how to brag."

Shen Yi: "My wife is the best cook in the world. After eating her food, I don't want to eat anyone else's."

Everyone: "He's bragging again. Who in the army doesn't know that Captain Shen's wife is lazy and can't cook? Heard she doesn't even know how to enter the kitchen, let alone cook. Captain Shen's boasting knows no bounds."

Shen Yi: "My wife is the most virtuous person in the world. She can do everything, even make tables and chairs."

Others: "The boasting has reached the sky. Captain Shen, look up in the sky, maybe there's a flying cow up there."

Later, everyone met Mianmian: "Truly beautiful, such a beautiful woman must be the most beautiful in the world."

Later, after everyone tried Mianmian's cooking: "Hmm, it's really delicious. These dishes are even better than those from state-owned restaurants."

And then, everyone saw Mianmian make a lounge chair: "Turns out Captain wasn't boasting! It really is his wife!" <<less

The woman, suffering because of her fiancé who disposed of nuclear waste, found herself in the supporting role.... more>>

As soon as I realized I had transmigrated into the novel, I went to find my (former) fiancé and slapped him with a coffee.

Then, I married Apollion, the male lead cursed as the 'Monster Duke' and my favorite character in the novel.

People sneered at me for marrying the Monster Duke.

It was because Apollion always covered his face with a mask due to a curse that covered his entire face.

But you will never understand.
The fact that tremendous beauty hides behind that mask.
The fact that Apollion is a genuine handsome man from head to toe!

The way to lift the curse was surprisingly simple.

It was through mental and physical love!
The curse would be lifted when all of this comes together.

Two years before the appearance of the female lead.
Instead of suffering for two years, all I had to do was lift his curse.

If I show affection, his curse will be lifted,
And I, too, can be happy with a handsome man.
Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

However.

"Wife, I-I am not emotionally prepared yet...."
"You were the one who proposed. Why is the couple behaving like this?"
"...."
"We are a couple. We should take responsibility for what a couple should do."

The male lead is more embarrassed than I thought.
Is he saying this not to satisfy my personal feelings, but because he wants me to break the curse for him? <<less

And it seems like this amnesiac husband of mine somehow fell in love with me…

“My dear… I’m really, really happy that you’re my wife.”

Who is this… this puppy-like man…?

Isn’t he the same man who bares his teeth at me every time he sees me?

“Once you remember everything, you’re going to regret it all. You’re being so nice to me like this…”

“No, I won’t. Not even a little bit.”

Haa. Seriously… He talks to me so sweetly now, but this will definitely turn into a shameful past that he’d come to regret later on.

After he recovers his memories, I know for sure that my husband will finally push ahead with the divorce.

I should prepare for it in advance. <<less

Meng Yan was born a beautiful woman in a large courtyard, with eyes like autumn water and brows like crescent moons. Her appearance was as charming as a peach blossom, capable of captivating hearts with every smile or furrow of her brow.... more>>

However, born as a daughter of a poor family, her beauty became a curse.

At the age of eighteen, Meng Yan was relentlessly pursued by a paranoid man who threatened to ruin her if she refused him.

To escape, Meng Yan volunteered for rural work, but the madman followed her!

In desperation, Meng Yan's father sought help from an influential friend to find a capable man to marry his daughter, hoping to end the relentless pursuit of the paranoid man.

Coincidentally, the son of the influential figure's friend, stationed on a remote island as a young and promising military officer, was of marriageable age.

Though the island conditions were harsh, he was honest and handsome. The question remained whether a delicate girl like Meng Yan could endure...

"I can! I'm willing!" Harsh conditions were nothing compared to escaping the paranoid man!

Jiang Shaoyu, a young talent, show no interest in others but the island life.

After seven years on the island, he had served his country and organization well but had disappointed his parents.

Despite their efforts to introduce him to several potential partners, he rejected them all.

Then he received a letter with a photo of a girl.

"Here's a potential match for you, a lovely and gentle girl."

Indeed, she was beautiful and gentle, stirring Jiang Shaoyu's heart after twenty-six years of solitude.

Yet, remembering the harsh island life, he firmly declined.

But before he could send the rejection letter, the girl arranged for by his family had already arrived on the island with his subordinates, who jokingly called her "sister-in-law."

His mother was right; the girl was indeed beautiful — with skin like jade and eyes that sparkled.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Shaoyu."

...

Dressed sharply in military uniform with cold and resolute features, he looked at her with polite rejection.

"Comrade Meng Yan, you still have a chance to change your mind. If you can't bear the island's conditions, I'll have my subordinates send you home."

Meng Yan looked at the vast blue sea behind him and the desolate land, clenched her fists, and declared firmly:

"No regrets. Comrade Jiang Shaoyu, I've made up my mind to be with you!"

Meng Yan transmigrated into a cannon fodder supporting character in a period novel.

Honestly, that officer had a good personality and was quite handsome. No regrets there.

Little did she know, after landing on the island, she discovered it was nothing like the barren and desolate place she imagined!

Coconuts, mangoes, guavas, occasional sightings of wild animals…

Gathering clams, crabs, and small octopuses by the shore with her partner…

Barren land? Scarce freshwater? No vegetables to eat?

Then let's cultivate the land together and build a beautiful island! <<less
