概要

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter. Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed? Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money. Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

Chapter 1Chapter 1: Marrying Off the Sick Seedling

Gu Youyou, as the Gu Family's primary heir, lost both her parents at a young age, but thankfully managed to grow up safely amidst constant trepidation.

Just when she had finally defeated all the greedy ghosts and gods coveting her position as heir and had triumphantly ascended to the throne of inheritance, she traveled through time...

Lying on the broken bed in a dark room, Gu Youyou sighed, "Life is like a TV series, the scene changes when it says change! It doesn't care if you are at a loss or utterly confused!"

She had thought that, as a beautiful female CEO, after inheriting the family business she'd find a man to marry into her family, and the two of them would spend their days in leisure until death—but instead, the story took a divine twist right at the beginning, catching her entirely off guard.

Fine, if it's time travel, then time travel it is, she accepted that. But out of all people, why did she have to travel into the body of a sickly person who was not long for this world?

The taste of waiting for death was unbearable, so she resolved to do everything in her power to live!

Collecting her thoughts, Gu Youyou surveyed the entirely sealed pitch-black room. A few finger-sized holes by the wall, which served as vents, were the only sources of ventilation and sunlight.

With the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, Gu Youyou managed to turn over and stretched her ears to listen to the noises coming from the front yard.

"Dad, did you really find a marital match for Youyou?" the Gu Family's second son asked in disbelief.

His eldest niece Gu Youyou was so sick that she could meet the King of Hell at any time, and this fact was known by everyone within miles. Why would anyone want to marry her? Were they expecting her to carry on the family line?

Or did the family have so many leftover coffins that they had run out of corpses to fill them? It was almost impossible to believe.

The old master of the Gu Family looked at his second son with his cloudy eyes, and spoke in a weary, gravelly voice, "Humph, what? Are you not pleased?"

Gu Family's second son choked on his words and coughed out a laugh, "No, no, that's not it at all, we couldn't be happier."

The old man slammed his hand down on the table with a bang and angrily said, "You heartless bunch, I knew it! You've been longing for Youyou to get married and be out of here. Ever since she fell ill, you've been wishing her dead day after day. She's your elder brother's only bloodline—how can you be so cruel..."

The second and third sons were so startled by his sudden change of expression they were rendered speechless. What was he talking about? It was he who insisted on marrying her off, not us forcing her to marry.

"Dad, that's nonsense. Didn't you previously say we were to support her for a lifetime? And we didn't object to that, did we?"

Besides, no matter how it looked, finding a family willing to take Gu Youyou with her ghostly appearance was something of a feat.

But then they remembered how the old master had previously stated he would support Gu Youyou for a lifetime. Recently, something had got into him, and he was adamant about finding her a husband, insisting on marrying her off at all costs—it was all too strange.

The main question was, had he really found a match without disclosing the fact that Gu Youyou was seriously ill?

The old master of the Gu Family was oblivious to the second son's complicated thoughts and was just gasping for breath in anger.

Seeing that their father was truly upset, the Gu Family's third son quickly sat beside him on the heated brick bed and gently patted his back to help him breathe easier.

"Dad, how could we ever wish for Youyou to die? That's not what the second brother meant. He meant Youyou getting married is a good thing; our elder brother could rest in peace knowing this," he said and then cast a glance at the Gu Family's second son, signaling, "Right, second brother?"

Naturally, the second son grasped the third son's intent and quickly scrambled to appease their father with a smile, "Exactly, Dad. Isn't raising a daughter all about hoping she marries well? After the death of our elder brother and sister-in-law, we've all treated Youyou as our dear daughter."

The Tyrant's Pet

Aries Aime Heathcliffe. A princess from the small kingdom of Rikhill was loved by all. With her beauty that was enchantingly demure and a wise mind, she had caught a lot of attention and captured the hearts of many. One of them was the dashing crown prince of the Maganti Empire. Overcome by the desire to have her and his interest in the land of the small kingdom, the crown prince of the said empire would stop at nothing. The knights from the Maganti Empire marched across the masses and seized the four-hundred-year-old kingdom of Rikhill. The kingdom of Rikhill fell into ruin overnight. The crown prince left no members of the royal family alive aside from his war trophy, Aries. After suffering in his hands, Aries found the perfect chance to escape. That was when he took her to the world summit. A gathering of each sovereign from each kingdom and empire for peace talks. There, she met the emperor of Haimirich, Eustass Silvestri Abel Bloodworth. Overwhelm by desperation, Aries begged him to take her in. It was too late when she realized that the man she asked for help was far more cruel, twisted, and downright diabolical than the crown prince for taking her as his… pet! EXCERPT: With a pair of crimson eyes hovering over her, Aries held her breath. When the corner of his lips curled up devilishly, she couldn’t react fast as he swiftly flipped their position. She only realized it when she was saddling him, gazing down at Abel, wide-eyed. “No one is above me in this empire and even out — not even the law, but look at you,” he intoned with a devilish smirk. “Staring down on me… so daunting.” Aries bit her lip, planting her palm on her inked chest. “Your Majesty…” “Do you now understand the power you hold, darling?” Abel carefully wrapped his fingers around her wrist, chuffed by her reaction. “Only you, Aries, may go above me and the only person in this world who can look down on me. No one else.” He raised an arm and ran his fingers through the side of her hair, settling his palm on the back of her head before he pulled her down until her face was a palm length away from him. “You better use this at your own disposal,” he whispered, tilting his head as he lifted it up to claim what’s his. HER. Meet Eustass Silvestri Abel Bloodworth, the sadistic tyrant, who reigned an empire with an iron fist. With his pet, Aries’ increasing presence in his boring, dark life, he was set to kill her. But alas, every time he thought of taking her life, he finds himself changing his mind. The more he kept her by his side, the more it got harder to dispose of her. And the more he yearned for something deeper and darker... it was driving him insane. With a secret he was keeping from her, what would Abel do if Aries found out about the rotting truth behind the empire and the emperor? Would he kill her? Or kiss her? Perhaps cage her? And if she found out that Abel wasn’t just a normal human, would she try to escape? Or would she accept that he wasn’t just a demon incarnate? In a complicated world that tainted them black, was love even possible to bloom between a pet and her master? Watch as these two play the dangerous and insane game of love and lust. Who would be the master and the pet? Who was the prey?

The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune

By Xishui River, there lived a family with the surname Ruo, whose luck was so disastrously poor that it was as if misfortune was possessed by their very souls. When other families had bountiful harvests, the Ruo Family harvested not a single grain. Their planted vegetables were devoured by insects, their chickens got chicken plague, their pigs got swine fever… Despite the household being full of strong men, they were either mad, crippled, or blind… What would have been a family of great prospects became the poorest within ten miles. The only thing that others envied about the Ruo Family was its thriving male members! The old lady of the Ruo Family had given birth to six sons, who then gave her four grandsons. She dreamt day and night of having a granddaughter. When she finally got a grandchild, to her dismay, the child was mentally disabled: at over three years old, she still couldn’t speak or walk, couldn’t even eat or relieve herself without help. Everyone thought the Ruo Family would never turn their fortunes around in this lifetime! That was until the half-old three-year-old mentally disabled child suddenly called out, “Mom…” The heavens began to change. The world began to turn mysterious. In the Ruo Family’s courtyard, the persimmons ripened overnight. The vegetables in the fields, nearly nibbled bare by insects, turned lush and green. The old hen that had never laid eggs suddenly started laying… While others faced famine, the Ruo Family’s granary was full. The eldest son was no longer mad, the second son was no longer crippled, the third son was no longer blind… The old lady of the Ruo Family, with her hands on her hips, laughed heartily to the sky, “Who says my Xuanbao is a dimwit? She’s clearly a treasure of blessings!” (This is a farming novel with a hint of fairy charm, where the female protagonist in a previous life was a just-awakened daylily that has reincarnated as a human.)
