The Second Wife Refuses to Lie Flat, Fighting at Her Way to Becoming In Everyone's Favorite Author: 咸鱼头子 Xian Yu Tou Zi [A beautiful, wealthy, and spoiled second wife vs. a rigid, taciturn, and unconventional powerful minister] [Both partners are virgins + an ancient version of arranged marriage leading to love + an old house on fire + personality and age gap] Jiang Yao, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in Jinling, married the head of the Pei family in the capital as his second wife at the age of eighteen. A woman from a humble background marrying into a wealthy family, and being a second wife, was not favored by anyone; everyone was waiting to see her fail. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao maintained her unrestrained personality even after marriage. I sleep until I naturally wake up every day; the custom of morning and evening self-reflection doesn't exist! Beautiful jewelry? She took it with a wave of her hand! Exquisite and precious fabrics? She wanted them all! The power to manage the household affairs? She'll take it if she wants! In short, Jiang Yao got what she wanted. As for dissatisfaction? Well, just keep it to yourself. At worst, we can just part ways and get a divorce. Who says that being a second wife means having to be subservient, weak, and repressed? Jiang Yao's arrival turned the Pei family, which had been stagnant for many years, into chaos. She had assumed that her entire family would have wanted to kick her out long ago. Unexpectedly, one day after an argument with her husband, Jiang Yao proposed a divorce. Immediately afterwards, her mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law all arrived, threw their bundles at her husband's feet, and said to her: You stay, he leaves! Jiang Yao: ? Pei Zheng: ? ? (The FL is a sassy and cool woman, which is rare for an ancient-era setting. Her interactions with the ML are sweet and funny.)

King Nikolai Volkov - the feared King of Russia, cold-hearted, powerful, and impossible to read. Queen Anaya Volkov - born in India, married into the Russian throne, once gentle, loving, and desperate for her husband's affection. In her first life, Anaya gave him everything. Her loyalty. Her heart. Her love. Yet as Queen of Russia, she was never truly treated like one. Ignored by her husband, disrespected by the court, and left alone in a palace full of whispers, Anaya spent her days longing for a love that was never returned. Until the loneliness, betrayal, and heartbreak finally led to her death. But fate was not done with her. Anaya opens her eyes once again in the same royal era, in the same palace, at the beginning of the life that once destroyed her. This time, she remembers everything. And this time, she does not care. The woman who once begged for love is gone. Now she is cold, distant, and untouchable. She no longer waits for the king. No longer seeks his attention. No longer loves him. And that is exactly when everything changes. The same husband who once ignored her now cannot take his eyes off her. King Nikolai's gaze follows her through every corridor. His voice softens only for her. His possessiveness grows darker with every passing day. The queen he once forgot has now become the only woman he wants. Obsessed, protective, and dangerously devoted, the king is determined to claim the heart of the wife who no longer belongs to him. But can a love born from obsession heal the wounds of a past life... or will it destroy her once again?

After waiting seven years for a marriage that was endlessly delayed, Shen Li is stunned when her fiancé drunkenly trades their imperial wedding decree to his feared uncle, Prince Rui. Betrayed but unwilling to break, she accepts the decree and prepares to marry the cold war prince instead. As the capital mocks the scandal, even her former mother-in-law chooses Shen Li's side - sending wedding gifts for her new marriage and silently admitting her son never deserved her.

In her previous life, Shen Yuwei was known as Li Hua, a noble daughter who lost everything and later became a trusted attendant to a royal princess. One day, her mistress lent her a strange novel. It was the story of a talented actress from the future and a handsome actor destined to become her lover. As for the villainess? She was spoiled, arrogant, materialistic, and hopelessly obsessed with the male lead despite already being married. Li Hua could never understand her. After all, the villainess's husband was handsome, successful, loyal, and had never taken another woman. Why would she throw everything away for a man who did not love her? Unfortunately... When Li Hua opened her eyes again, she discovered she had become that very same villainess. Shen Yuwei. The woman destined to lose everything. The woman who would eventually be divorced and abandoned by everyone. Faced with her tragic future, Shen Yuwei only had one wish. To live peacefully. To avoid provoking the heroine. To stay away from the male lead. And to properly cherish the husband the original owner never appreciated. But the more she tries to stay out of trouble, the more people begin to notice her. The family that once tolerated her begins to adore her. The entertainment industry becomes curious about her transformation. Even the husband who barely acknowledged her existence starts paying attention. What Shen Yuwei doesn't know is that some stories were never as simple as they appeared. And perhaps... The true villain was never the villainess. --- "I already have a husband." "So why would I chase another man's love?"

In a palace where silence is safer than truth, Li Anya learns that death is not the end-it is a warning. Once a forgotten concubine, she lived her first life in quiet obedience, enduring the Emperor's cold cruelty and the Empress Dowager's disdain. Her existence was small, her voice unheard... until the night she was killed. No witnesses. No answers. Only betrayal lingering like poison in her final breath. But fate, it seems, is not finished with her. When Li Anya opens her eyes again, she is back in the same gilded cage, standing at the beginning of a life she has already lost. This time, she remembers the pain, the fear-and the certainty that someone close to the throne wanted her dead. Determined to survive, she treads carefully through a court of hidden daggers and smiling enemies. Yet everything begins to change when she discovers she is carrying the Emperor's child... and with it, a power she never held before. Favored by the very people who once despised her, Li Anya rises from shadow to prominence-but in the palace, kindness is often the most dangerous lie of all. Because somewhere behind silk curtains and whispered prayers, her killer is still waiting. And this time, Li Anya is no longer willing to die quietly.

In the empire of Liang, everyone knew one thing: The Crown Prince loved another woman. So when General Shen's eldest daughter, Shen Li Hua, was chosen to become Crown Princess, the entire capital pitied her. A loveless marriage. A cold husband. A palace already occupied by the prince's beloved first love. Everyone waited for Shen Li Hua to cry, to compete, to desperately fight for a man who had never wanted her. But Shen Li Hua did none of those things. Elegant, intelligent, and impossibly difficult to read, the new Crown Princess treated the Crown Prince with perfect courtesy- and absolute indifference. While other women fought for affection, Shen Li Hua guarded only one thing: her dignity. And slowly, dangerously... the Crown Prince began noticing the wife he had once ignored. "You may have the title of Crown Princess," Xiao Jun said coldly on their wedding night, "but you will never have my love." The palace fell silent. Beneath the glow of crimson candles, Shen Li Hua calmly removed the heavy phoenix crown from her head and placed it aside. Then she finally looked at him. Her eyes were beautiful. Cold too. "That changes nothing," she said lightly. "I married Your Highness for the crown, not your affection." Xiao Jun's expression darkened. Before he could speak again, she continued calmly, "So you may keep your love for whoever wishes to beg for it." A pause. Then- "Fortunately, I do not." For the first time in years, the Crown Prince was left completely speechless.

He said, "Let's get married when we grow up" He said, "Your eyes are so beautiful" He said, "I will always love you the way you are" but he also said, "I love her now, I always love you like a sister". Is it wrong for me to fight for my love? For my own fiancee? Is scheming is not allowed? Everyone condemning me, but what about her? Why everyone is praising her while she snatched what was mine at the first place? What is so great about her? True, she is the heroine while I'm the villainess. Even villainess is worthy of love but why am I not? Worthy or not, I will get what I'm worthy of and it started with the proudest of the heroine's backer. I will hurt you and break you as you did to me! Synopsis: Li Xi Rui is the first miss born from the only wife of the Left Prime Minister.

Act I: Finished (~41k words) Act II: Finished (~ 60k words) Act III: Starting ---------//‐---------- I would like to welcome everyone who came to read my story! Feedback, as long it is constructive and polite, is appreciated. This story is my first one on Wattpad and is being written on my phone during some free time. So forgive me for any mistake. In all, I hope you enjoy the story as much as I do writing it. The story will be told on a first-person basis. I feel Luna/Lucreatia would be a kick-ass girl 😁 The world would have magic and in terms of clothes and so on, close to the Victorian era. The story has strong language and talks about serious issues like death for example. At least a PG-13 type of story. You have been warned! In case mature content comes up I will warn up here and change the content rating. I may edit after publishing, though I always try to bring the finished product. Update date: Every Sunday Hopefully 😅 To be added to Royal Road (as well as Wattpad).
