Xue Ning's entire family died in battle. She grew up in the Marquis of Xuanyi's household and deeply adored Su Zhan, the heir who had grown up with her since childhood. With a cup of spring wine laced with something extra, she fulfilled her wish and became his wife. Later, Su Zhan rose to become the all-powerful Grand Secretary. The two of them appeared respectful and harmonious, and were once considered one of the rare love stories in the capital. Everyone said that she, an orphaned girl, was blessed to marry such a man. Only she knew how many lonely, silent nights she endured alone. He had a "white moonlight" he loved but could never obtain-and he had never loved her. Because she had once offered herself to him, he despised her. So he sent her away to an old country estate for five years. She sent letter after letter back to the capital, but none were ever answered. Helpless and alone, she was eventually burned alive in a fire set by others, dying with hatred in her heart. ... After being reborn, the first thing Xue Ning did was overturn the cup of spring wine that had originally been prepared for Su Zhan. Then, she carefully chose a fiancé for herself. At a family banquet, with relatives gathered, Xue Ning walked up to Su Zhan, her arm hooked around her fiancé's. "Grand Secretary, this is my fiancé. Please look after him in the future." The always cold and restrained Grand Secretary instead began to crumble, his eyes red: "Xue Ning... I was the one who knew you first!" *Original Translation* ©All Rights reserved

*7/27 CURRENTLY REVISING CHAPTERS* A slow-burn romance set against a backdrop of betrayal, honor, and resilience. This faithful English translation preserves the emotional, cultural, and symbolic depth of the original novel. Translator's Notes are included at the end of each chapter to guide readers through historical and narrative nuances. The Prisoner of Beauty《折腰》 / The Marquis is Innocent (君侯本无邪) Author: Peng Lai Ke (蓬莱客) In a time of war and ruin, Wei Shao, haunted by the fall of his city and the loss of his kin, rises from the ashes to restore the honor of the Wei clan. Feared on the battlefield, he turns from vengeance to peace-and proposes marriage to the Qiao family, once their greatest betrayers. His bride, Qiao Man (Xiao Qiao), is sent into the union like a lamb to the slaughter. Rumors call Wei Shao a cruel warlord; she steps into his world with caution, knowing love has no place in such a match. Yet beneath the cold walls of duty and pride, something unexpected blooms. She is not what he assumed. He is not what she feared. As danger closes in, they begin to rely on each other-her quiet strength, his unspoken loyalty. When war returns to their gates, it is Xiao Qiao who stands firm, protecting a people not her own. And in her, Wei Shao sees the one person who might heal what bloodshed has broken.

She thought she was going to die. She did. But the next time she opened her eyes , she found out that she was living a whole new life, as a little girl who was going to enter a noble household as a maid. However, a true pearl can never hide its lustre. It was a new world, set in ancient China-like era. Despite being confined in the vicinity of her new masters' household, she strove to live, and perhaps find love. Little did she know, her current life was one that had been pre-ordained. Not by the gods or heavens, but by a promise made by someone that had followed her through countless lifetimes ago. ||Author's note|| Original story. It's best to start with this book (One Lifetime is Never Enough / OLiNE). BUT before proceeding beyond chapter 28, I suggest to read book 0 (Loving You For A Lifetime/ LYFAL). Then, Book 2 (Remembering You For Eternity / RYFE) will be the conclusion of the tale spanning over the 3 books. Any images used were taken off the wonderful worldwideweb (mainly Pinterest). No copyright infringement ever intended. If you are aware of any credit due and which must be mentioned (or removed), please let me know. English is only my second language, so please bear with any of my errors. Book 0 and Book 1 especially, were written without editors and/or proofreaders. Mistakes abound.

Translated and edited for reading... She was a secondary character, each ending tragic. And then she came to a realization. The system she was bound to was a homeless system. It did not give any newbie package, oldie package, and completing the missions had no rewards. She decided to not do missions anymore. System: Warning! Please complete the mission, or you will be eliminated. Tang Guo: Dream on. System: Host, I beg of you! Please don't bully the main characters anymore! Tang Guo: No way. And then..... System: Master, how do you plan to bring disaster to this world? Take me with you! Tang Guo: It can be done. Check that man's information for me. System: *chirping* Okay! Please wait a moment, master! Associated Names 快穿:女配,冷静点 Author(s) 杜了了 Original Publisher Qidian
