Note: This is a translated work by me. 绿茶庶女重生后成了宅斗的神 by Yun Jinman The Fifth Miss of the Ruan family, born out of wedlock, has always despised her lotus-like face. Her outstanding beauty led her stepmother to treat her as a commodity. During a banquet, she was drugged and violated by the old King of Fushan and was forced to marry into his household as a secondary consort. The King, twisted by age, particularly enjoyed tormenting young beauties. In her previous life, after Ruan Yuluan became pregnant, the jealous consort, fearing for her own position, cruelly took her life. When Ruan Yuluan awoke, she found herself reborn back to when she was thirteen years old in the Ruan family. At this point, she was neither yet a beauty envied by her sisters nor was she plotted against by her cold stepmother and father, nor had she been targeted by the King of Fushan's lustful gaze... Ruan Yuluan vowed secretly that, even as an illegitimate daughter, she would take control of her own fate and never repeat the mistakes of her past life! Ruan Yuluan vowed secretly that, even as an illegitimate daughter, she would take control of her own fate and never repeat the mistakes of her past life!

There, the young master who had helped her on several occasions and whose pair of charming, peach-blossom eyes became her new focus.

Bride of Sultan ~  The Forgotten Rose by magicallovely
8 parts Ongoing
This was my first time. I patiently waited for the man Dua Begum told me would be my first to bed with. After starting to bleed two years ago, my stepmother left me at a pleasure house when my father abandoned us. Since then, I've accepted the pleasure house as my new home. He walked in a black Kurta with subtle green eyes and a deep voice. The moment he asked my name and age and then proposed to me for the wedding, I fell in love. There was no denying it. I was just fifteen, and he was nineteen. But, ever since the night of our wedding, he has not come back to take me with him to his home. He left me alone, stranded, burning for him. I did not know who he was. What did he do? All I knew was that he was the soul of my World. My Jaan-e-Jahan. Seven years later, he came back as a storm in my life. As Sultan Rehman Sulaiman. The son of the man who took everything from my family, even before my birth. The reason I ended up in the Pleasure House in the first place. But my love for my husband, the Sultan, is bigger than the mountains, deeper than the oceans, and wider than the skies, even though he is himself a Mountain, impossible to move, an ocean, scaring people to stay away, and a wide sky, impossible to reach. Discipline is everything for him. He is full of love and respect for his family but equally heartless and dangerous toward those who cross him. And, in all of this, I entered his life as a burning flame, a tiny candle's flame, dancing for his attention, crying for his affection, and dying for his love. Until he killed my only loved one. My love died. And, his never bloomed. I was once a bud, unbloomed Rose, who opened my deep red petals for him, and he turned them black, leaving me forgotten inside the dying pages. Was I always forgotten for him? Did he never consider me anything more than a mere responsibility? Will I always be remembered as Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose?
