Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant. However, no one believed her.  When she vomited after eating, they laughed at her for feigning illness. When she felt tired, they laughed at her for pretending to be delicate. When her belly grew larger, they laughed at her for overeating.  When Jiang Ning wanted a doctor's confirmation, all eighteen doctors she consulted had the same opinion: "You're just eating too much!" The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty. This was how the common people of Chang'an City typically described him.  But the real Prince Yu was cold and ruthless, using women without any emotional attachment.  He knew that the second madam of the Jiang family was the Emperor's secret love, and he also knew that the daughter recently brought back by the Jiang family looked exactly like the second madam in her youth.  So, even though the girl had a limp, he still tossed the embroidered flower in his hand into her lap. After their marriage, he knew she was just a pawn. But for the sake of the throne, he had to pretend to cherish her even though he detested her, until...

Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

In her previous life, as Yun Xi lay on her deathbed due to a terminal illness, her famous painter husband said to her heartlessly, “Yun Xi, let’s get a divorce. I would never marry you if I knew that your sister was the one who saved me.” Yun Xi was dumbstruck. It was actually her who saved Mo Ran! She struggled to look at her sister, Yun Lian to see what was going on. Yet, what she saw made her heart sink into her stomach. Yun Lian lowered her gaze as she said, “Sister, I’m sorry. My Brother-in-law and I truly love each other. I’ve been hiding this for so long now, and I can’t hide it any longer.” Yun Xi suddenly felt her world spin, and the past flashed through her head. Her sister had always asked her about how she saved Mo Ran in detail and constantly stood between her and Mo Ran. He gradually became more distant from her - was that all for the sake of today? Yun Xi and Yun Lian are twins, but because Yun Xi was always been better in her studies and had a better husband, both society and their parents showed their bias toward Yun Xi. However, Yun Xi would always tolerate and dote on Yun Lian, giving Yun Lian most of her opportunities, including the precious chance to go to school. Staring at her husband’s icy expression, Yun Xi dragged her sickly body to the window and jumped down. When she opened her eyes, Yun Xi realized that she was not dead. Instead, she had returned to that summer day when she was competing with Yun Lian for an opportunity to go to school. It was on this day that Yun Xi offered her most precious opportunity! Now that she was given another chance at life, Yun Xi swore to take back what was hers. Whatever Yun Lian took from her, she would have Yun Lian pay everything back! As for her ex-husband, Mo Ran, Yun Xi decided to let Yun Lian have him. Yun Xi did not want him anymore. However, the new Yun Xi, who had now become more aloof instead of her old humble self, was further loved by the world. Even that unattainable man started paying her attention?!

The remarks about Africa are kinda offensive as an Africa person reading this novel. I hope the autho will not make such remarks in the future

Gallant11Lv4Gallant11

this novel has a combination of other novel. In the part of the ml leaving after getting married and the pregnancy stunt is a little bit similar to " madam is a sensational figure in the city". While in the area of her going for brother-in-law has a similar part in "the crippled boss loves me". I was reading and was getting confused because it keeps looking like I have read a similar story but I have to check and see the different points in it.

I really liked the beginning. Strong, interesting characters and FL was awesome. The plot was not on the strong side, unfortunately, there were some pretty heavy deux ex machina in the middle of the story. And if I say that the ending was rushed, it's only half the truth. Quite disappointed in this one. At least it had decent translation which is not given on this page as of late. SPOILER ! ! ! I really liked our main villain Jiang cause he had character and was clever. Maybe too much because writer did him dirty and used quite heavy handed twists to make him less desirable partner than ML. Our FL also was suddenly very cold and ultra rational in everything related to him which just left bad taste in my mouth, especially when she was emotional towards our ML. It was in the middle of the story and I needed to take a break fromt this novel because of it. ! For anyone who cannot finish the story, here is brief summary: She will end up with ML. Probably because the finale was so rushed the unfinished plotlines are like little tentacles all around it. ML Shi returned to country safe and soudn, initially uninterested towards FL, slowly falling for her. In very immature way, in my opinion. Comparison to villain Jiang... le sigh. But he cared for her and was capable in managing company. Villain Jiang (sorry if names are wrong, bad memory) was her childhood friend from previous life who "summoned" her to this world. He really loved her and did many things for her. When FL first arrived, she lost her memories of her husband and villain - which she has done herself to forget villain IN HER PREVIOUS LIFE. They were kind of childhood sweethearts but as general daughter, she married for politicks. She made here choice in not marrying villain and drank water from river of forgetfulness to forget him. In order to help her remember, he prepared movie filming with their story from previous life depicting everything. Eventually, FL remembered. Villain Jiang was done dirty by author and was portraited as megalomaniac and ruthless character in previous dynasty for which our FL didn't want anything to do with him. She even kind of tricked him so he will be unable to marry her (told him she will marry the best ranked guy in the emperor's exams - she knew it would be best "warrior" and tricked him to obtain the best scholar title). In the end, he ended up as fiance of some Song chick which he will probably off in the future cause she arranged kidnapping of FL and wanted her rxped and our villain loves FL much soo... Siblings are ok and doing good, probably. The first villain was Jiang, second master moving in the shadows was that Li Ci (?) guy who wanted compete with Shi and Jiang families, and third was some unknown figure who really messed up the plot and had good understanding of the situation (kind of prophetic) and wanted Shi family destroyed. We never found out who it was, my personal bet was probably FL previous husband from last life? Just had this feeling. The story unfortunatelly got dropped before it was finished. As for the chick who ML found in Africa - she was manipulative, white lotus character and she was working for third unknown villain. Not even sure if she liked ML, tbh.

Dropped!!👎🏽👎🏽👎🏾👎🏾 It’s insulting the way the author portrays Africa. There’s no excusing that kind of prejudice. It’s disgusting.

this kind of novel is what i really like not pursuing the male lead or telling her plans. just being herself like reading the story without too much details or something that kinda distracting from what currently happening

I finished reading this novel. It started good, the character development was good . It added lot of characters and plots , some mysterious person behind trying to ruin the Shi family and and the FL Yuan Shu and then suddenly it’s the done. Very bad ending. All the plot holes are not addresses. I wouldn’t recommend this novel for ppl looking for a closure for the plots and the other characters. It’s like they had to force end this book

I would like to ask, Yuan Shu comes from ancient times, right? So, the story she read before transmigrates was about future era? Then, the ones wrote this story was comes from the future? World development was good for the present time, however, the past and the future was a bit off to me. Please, someone help to explain about this plot of two eras. I'm getting confused. 🤔🤔🤔
