Night of the Divorce! A Proud Lady Was Forced to Marry the Emperor's Uncle

In her previous lifetime, Jiang Peihuan was set up by a jerk and died a terrible death. Not only that but even her entire family was annihilated. After becoming eighteen again, she was still the same proud woman who felt no lesser than any other man. Her fiance didn't want to marry her because he thought she was an embarrassment. He came over to call off the engagement and decided to marry her cousin instead. Everyone laughed at her, but she was pleased with the outcome. "Give me 100,000 taels of gold, and I will agree to it." After the wedding was called off, rumors that she was abandoned by her husband were spread in the capital city. Since she couldn't become a consort in Huainan, it'd be difficult for her to get married to anyone else. To everyone's surprise, a noble lord stepped forward. "What's wrong with marrying her?" The dreams of many young women were shattered, but Jiang Peihuan decisively turned the offer down. He was the jerk's uncle, a member of the royal family. He might seem like a noble person, but he had a cruel disposition in reality. She swore to exact revenge on her enemies from her past life and to protect her family. She wanted nothing to do with the royal family. However, one day, she still ended up becoming the lord's consort who was envied by all. By the time Jiang Peihuan realized what had happened, she fumed at the man who lay next to her. ""Xiao Nanye, did you trick me?"" Lord Xiao Nanye, who had always been decisive in his actions, couldn't help but laugh at the sight of his consort throwing a tantrum. He spoke to her in a soft voice, "Please forgive me. You're the only woman I want in this lifetime."

Unlimited estates for rural beauty

Feng Xuxu, a 21st-century professor of agriculture and biology, was in secret the mastermind behind a five-star hotel. Running back and forth between the university and the hotel, it's no wonder she worked herself sick. One moment she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found herself in the body of a poor village girl who had just lost her mother and then her father. Fortunately, time-travel came with a perk, the almighty space ability. After toying with some seeds, she grew thousands of acres of high-yield grains and spent her leisure time cultivating flowers. Before she knew it, she had created a landscape of thousands of acres of flowers. Munching on fruit, she ended up with thousands of acres of orchards. When she craved some greens in the wintertime, she turned around to discover greenhouses covering thousands of acres. Feng Xuxu counted on her fingers: Spring Garden, Summer Garden, Autumn Garden, Winter Garden—not one more, not one less, four in total. She nodded in satisfaction and said, “This is all one needs in life.” Meanwhile, a certain devilishly charming man approached her with a sly smile, “Little Xuxu, how do you plan to deal with me?” Feng Xuxu was in disarray amidst the wind, realizing she had forgotten about one demon yet to be tamed. In this story, both male and female leads are strong, with the male lead being physically and mentally pure and devoted.
