And yet.

Xu Xinghe, a genius omega from the Department of Computer Science at Capital University, was matched by the AI mastermind to Mu Qingyun, a major general of the Alliance, the year after his graduation.... more>>

A year later, just after the marriage protection period, Major General Mu unilaterally announced their divorce.

Xu Xinghe learned the news of his divorce from a colleague. He hung up the phone call from Mu Qingyun during work hours with a cold look, and after work was completed, he sent a text message to his ex-husband: “Send the divorce agreement and I will sign it.”

Overnight, media coverage of his divorce was overwhelming. But no one thought that only a few days later, Xu Xinghe’s name would be on the list of mastermind matched marriages again—

This time, he was matched to the Alliance Marshal, Ling Changfeng, known as the “Black God of War”.

This time Xu Xinghe prepared a divorce agreement in advance.

On the first night of marrying into the Marshal’s Mansion, he put the divorce agreement with his signature in front of Marshal Ling. “When you want to divorce, just sign it.”

The divorce agreement was burned by Marshal Ling in less than three months.

And those who were waiting to see Xu Xinghe being divorced for the second time, waited and waited, only to hear news of the marshal spoiling his little spouse.

———-

Ling Changfeng never received a marriage notice from the AI mastermind for decades, and thought that he would never get married in his life.

“What’s so good about getting married? A waste of time,” said the marshal.

Later, he met an omega who was many years younger than him and resembled a little hedgehog. Beneath the other party’s cold appearance, he discovered the messily sweet pheromones.

“It’s nice to get married.” The marshal thought to himself. <<less

The array of the setting sun filters through the window bravely,
Rosy clouds coalesce to form an extraordinary orbit —
They say, after a person dies, their spirit would pass by,
And have a final glimpse of the world they’ve left behind…

On the 5th of March 2002, he wore a white shirt with tattered sleeves and a pair of old, ash grey trousers as he came running into my home. It was evening and rays from the setting sun filtered through the window at an oblique angle, casting dark shadows on his left cheek. He stood ferociously before my family’s dining table. My father and I were in the middle of eating when he suddenly bellowed, “Let’s get married!”

That day, he received a stern beating from my father. He didn’t retaliate and was beaten black and blue, his face all swollen.

That year, I was 21, and without any hesitation, I married him.

Because when he looked at me, nothing else mattered. It was as though he was drowning, and only I could save him. <<less

“I am pregnant.”... more>>

"You'll understand, right?”

A month before the wedding, my fiancé has a child with my older sister.

“Sonnet is very sorry for you.”

With her lips trembling, my sister asked, "But we'll still get along just like before, right?"

Of course not.

There were more than ten men that my sister took away from me. So, I chose to marry the most tr*shy sub-male lead. As expected. Thank you for taking the tr*sh, I'm really grateful.

“Of course, sister. Congratulations.”

Go to hell.

My sister took away the tr*shy sub-male lead, so I decided to have the male lead.

“Your Majesty, I have three months left in my life.”

This is the only way to keep my property from being stolen by my sister.

“This is my wish before I die. Please marry me...”

Then he replied with an unreadable expression, "Can I?"

***

After some time, I heard that my sister faked her pregnancy.

“Nothing happened between me and Siever. Really."

My ex-fiancé, Sonnet, came up to me.

"Give me one chance. It's all a misunderstanding."

Well, I don't need you. <<less

3. The main couple are each other’s soulmates, first love, the first and only ones they fall deeply in love with. Pure love fans welcome!

4. Male lead is sick but not weak, his illness will get better!

——

In the martial world, she is a famous chivalrous heroine, and he is an elusive broker;

In the palace, she is the unruly youngest daughter of a general, while he is the crown prince walking on thin ice.

1.

Young Miss Jiang Kui of the General’s Estate, childhood name Little Full, pretends to be a delicate beauty during the day, but goes out killing bad guys at night.

Until the day a marriage contract ties her to the weak Crown Prince Xie Wuyan.

On their wedding night, the moment her husband lifts her red bridal veil, she presses a sword against him and chuckles: “Touch me and you die.”

The young husband lies back with closed eyes: “I’m at my wife’s mercy.”

She doesn’t notice his ears turning red amidst his disheveled hair.

2.

Crown Prince Xie Kang, courtesy name Wuyan, is rumored by all to be a sickly prince who won’t live past his coming-of-age ceremony.

Yet few know he is also the untraceable broker in the martial world, and fewer still know the woman who has captured his heart is a famous female heroine.

The day after his wedding, a little eunuch reports to him that the Crown Princess sneaked out of the palace at night to secretly meet someone at the bookstore in the East Tower.

Prince Xie waves his hand unconcernedly with a faint smile.

That night at the East Tower’s bookstore, the famous broker with quite a reputation in the martial world rests his chin on his folded hands as he gently asks the female heroine across the bamboo screen: “What do you think… of Xie Kang as a person?”

3.

Jiang Kui never thought the husband she deemed useless would one day fight through thousands of soldiers and horses to come to her.

He holds her bloodied body in his arms, takes her spear, stands tall amidst the storm of swords, and whispers tenderly in her ear: “My wife, it’s me.”

It’s you, she thinks hazily. It was you I met at Qujiang, you who laughed at me in the bookstore, you who drank with me, you who held me in the snowstorm.

Of the vast world, the one who came for me is you. It has always been you. <<less

She was a benefactor who saved his daughter’s life and was only a child’s maid.

“By the way, why do you keep looking at me?”

Her green eyes that looked like they were about to burst into tears entered his heart.

Rosé, because that woman means something to him.

Here, inside this martial arts novel, there is a true teacher who teaches the arrogant male lead and awakens him through death.... more>>

Handsome, good-natured, righteous, strong, and…

Anyway, there was one big flaw in the male lead’s damn fine teacher. It was his foolish only daughter who was filled with greed. A tenacious villainess extra, who always comes back to haunt the male lead in every way, but cannot be abandoned because she is his teacher’s daughter.

Throughout reading the novel, I cursed at that daughter. Saying that if it was me, I wouldn’t live like that.
‘But that didn’t mean that I wanted to be her!’

What was worse, Father has already died, and my reputation is the worst.

Inevitably, I ran away, but… I died. However, when I opened my eyes, Father was alive!?
‘If so, in this life, I will definitely save Father!’

However…
“To think they’re aiming at my granddaughter!? I’ll kill them all!”

Why do I see Grandfather, who doesn’t even appear many times throughout the novel, so often like this?

“Marriage? No. Yeonie said that she would live by my side for the rest of her life.”
Even Father, somehow became weird.

Moreover,
“Why do you keep avoiding me? Is this also my mistake?”
Isn’t the main character suddenly becoming obsessed with me?

“Originally, I was destined to die. Until you came here.”
I saved the time-limited bastard, but isn’t it that no good deed goes unpunished?

“At least when I’m in front of you… I don’t think I’m tr*sh.”
The villain who blew off my neck is suddenly trying to repent.

Is it really okay if it’s like this? <<less

“How come you don’t want anything from me?”

He, who was to be my husband, would occasionally ask, as if he couldn’t understand. Whenever he asked, my answer remained the same.

“Because there’s nothing I want.”

However, despite my answers, he would gift me many things. He sent money to my family, bought me jewelry, and gifted me with the ivory and silk from the western lands.

“Don’t you want anything more?”

He asked again if I wanted something, and I still just shook my head.

Normally, he would nod and turn away, but today, he stood there staring at me. When I approached him, asking if something was wrong, his head drooped weakly onto my shoulder.

“Why do you lie to me every single time?”
