Meili's suicide note didn't include a "PS: Please send me to Ancient China."
After ending a "perfect" modern life that everyone else envied, she expected the eternal silence of the afterlife-or perhaps a brief chat with the devil. Instead, she gets a second chance she never asked for in the silk robes of Li Xiu, a woman destined to be a mere footnote in a grand historical novel.
Now, stuck in a world of bowing servants and lethal court politics, Meili is faced with a cruel joke: she didn't kill herself just to be murdered here. To find the peace she once sought, she must survive the six most dangerous months of her life married to a man who is far more than he seems-a lethal enigma who views her as a disposable pawn.
They say only the good die young, but the miserable get transmigrated. This time, Meili isn't looking for love or power; she's staying alive out of pure spite.

I Have Decided to Protect My Fiancé from the Heroine
Kaede Sakamoto, just your average Japanese high school girl. She was hit by 'Truck-san' and died. Surprise surprise, she has reincarnated into an 'Otome game', "Doki-Doki My Love Magical Academy"; which she coincidentally played due to a recommendation from [Friend A]. Now, she vows to be a good ruler, and to protect her fiancé (AKA Capture Target) from the all charming heroine. A/N: Sorry, I'm not good with descriptions. WARNING: This is my first story, so prepare for some (probable) cringe, some OP-ness and probably some plot holes. I will try to make sure my grammar is decent, and update when I can. (No promises though) My goal is to finish and complete the whole story without going on hiatus, so wish me luck! This is also going to be a fluffy intended type of story, so there won't be swearing, but there might be some mild swearing, like...crap? I don't really know. I haven't written a lot. Feedback and criticism is always welcome. I also do NOT own any of the pictures I've used.Complete
