On the wedding day, when she heard from Meng Muxin about Young Master Meng’s grand feat at the zhuazhou ceremony, Li Qiubai could not help but laugh, then continued to ask, “And then what happened?”

“Then ah, her petty master placed that book in her study room and would remind her from time to time of the silly thing she did as a child, to take revenge for that day. When she grew up and could remember things, she already saw it as a great disaster. She kept saying that she had no such habit, that it was impossible for her to like girls.”

While speaking, Meng Muxin had already placed the phoenix crown on the Princess’ head. Looking at the stunning beauty in the mirror, she smiled happily and said, “See? Was that not her slapping her own face?”

“This is more than just slapping her own face.”

Gu Qingyin, who was helping Meng Muxin comb the Princess’ hair and put on the crown, also laughed and added, “Sanniang and the others sent word that the little fool has long been urging them to hurry and bring her over to fetch the bride.”

Upon hearing this, Shu Yao laughed outright and teased, “With a bride as beautiful as my imperial sister, who would not want to marry her home quickly?!”

Although the two had been together all the time since they parted during the war, and had stayed close after leaving the capital, the day of their wedding still felt different.

As the saying goes, one day apart feels like three years.

Newlyweds always cannot wait to see each other.

After all, from this day on, the title between them would be different.

Even if it could not be known by the whole world, at least in front of friends and family, they would be known as each other’s wife.

No longer the Princess and the Prince Consort’s younger sister.

“Yes yes yes, looks like our little fool was scared that if she was late even for a moment, the bride would run away.”

After laughing, Meng Muxin turned to Shu Yao and asked, “Then what about you? When do you plan to marry our Lingyun and bring her home? Are you not afraid she will get angry from waiting too long and leave you?”

Just this one sentence made Shu Yao’s face turn red on the spot.

“Ahem, Senior, today is Imperial Sister and Young Master's big wedding day. Let us not talk about other things…”

Marrying Lingyun and bringing her home, of course she had thought about it too...

It was just that...

Although Shu Yao had not been able to witness the wedding between her Imperial Sister and the Young Master back in the capital, this grand and splendid wedding before her eyes now, she had seen with her own eyes.

Not to mention how joyfully decorated the place of the wedding was, even the temporary resting place in this city where her Imperial Sister waited for the Young Master to come fetch her was carefully arranged by the elders of the sect.

Let alone the red silk that filled the city, and the many guests who had traveled from far away…

All of it showed how much everyone expected and valued this wedding.

Shu Yao always felt that, if she, as she was now, with nothing to her name, rashly proposed to her beloved, it would wrong Lingyun too much…

A young person’s thoughts are always hard to hide. The envy in her eyes was seen not only by the two who had already gone through this, but even Li Qiubai had noticed it.

Still, what her younger sister said was true. Today was indeed her and the Young Master's big wedding day. It was not the right time to bring up her younger sister’s marriage.

After some time, she would surely prepare a grand wedding for her imperial younger sister too!

The few of them were only teasing each other for a bit when, all of a sudden, the auspicious hour arrived.

What came from outside was the Young Master’s anxious voice.

"I already did everything you told me to do! Why are you still not letting me in to fetch my bride?!"

Though the Young Master and the Princess had already married once before, the palace's rituals were different from those among the common people. At that time, she had felt nothing for the Princess, and the whole process of fetching the bride had been done in fear, scared that she would slip up and commit the crime of deceiving the Emperor. How could she have felt any joy then?

But now, it is different. The one she was fetching was the woman she loved the most.

Expectant, joyful, excited, nervous—many mixed feelings had already played out over and over in her heart today.

However, since she had once gone through countless hardships on the road to fetch her bride in her youth, now that she finally had the chance to be the one setting obstacles, Sect Master Zhong would of course not let this rare opportunity slip by so easily.

"Fetching a bride is fetching a bride. The more hurdles there are on the way, the smoother life will be after!"

Meng Chang’an looked at her master with suspicion. "Master, are you messing with me?

"Ahem, how could I..."

Sect Master Zhong let out a guilty cough and was about to continue her denial when Zhou Jinyi stopped her.

"Alright. alright. If we delay any longer, we will miss the auspicious time. Do not make things hard for her anymore."

Since her cousin said so, no matter how many troubles Sect Master Zhong had prepared but not used yet, to save face for her cousin, she naturally felt too embarrassed to keep causing trouble.

So she had to speak seriously to the Young Master, "Alright, alright. Do not say your master does not care for you. Hurry up and go inside to fetch her!"

Hearing that, Young Master Meng could not help but give Zhou Jinyi a grateful look, leaving behind a sentence: "Aunt Jinyi still treats me the best," before she excitedly ran forward and pushed open the Princess' door.

The two newlyweds, both dressed in bright red wedding robes, were full of amazement the moment they saw each other.

And this time, the person whom the Princess had longed for since childhood was finally not someone marrying her unwillingly under a false name.

It was not just the Princess who finally saw her dream come true today.

The Young Master, who had gone through so much to finally fetch her beloved, felt as if spring wind had filled her chest the moment she held the Princess' hand with overflowing joy.

She smiled foolishly the whole way, only coming back to her senses a little after the two stepped out together and got into the bridal sedan.

She tried hard to hold back her smile, but her gaze still clung tightly to the Princess, making the Princess feel a rare bit of shyness.

Back when they left the capital at the start of the year, even after successfully requesting the decree of divorce, this silly Young Master had not been this happy.

The Princess could not help but cover the Young Master's eyes and teased, “Are you really this happy?”

The Young Master wanted to hug the Princess, but she was afraid of ruining the makeup they had both carefully prepared since early morning. So she settled for holding the Princess’ hand and placing a kiss on the back of it, then cheerfully said, “Happy, of course I am happy to marry you!”

As the bridal sedan set off, drums thundered and firecrackers roared along the road.

Within the city built by the Blood Flame Sect against the mountains, everyone was part of the sect.

The bridal sedan made a full circle around the city, and all along the way, sect members stood in the streets, loudly offering blessings such as wishing the Young Master and Young Madam a lifetime together and everlasting unity.

Only in this city would no one look at them through the eyes of the secular world.

The long banquet tables were already set along both sides of the main roads within the city, just waiting for the moment the Young Master and Young Madam completed their rites before the feast could begin.

By the time the eight-manned grand bridal sedan was carried back to the Sect Master’s residence, Zhong Shujin and Gu Qingyin, Meng Muxin and Zhou Jinyi were already seated at the seats of honor.

Not just them—even all the close friends and relatives who knew of the two had already arrived.

The respected elders within the sect, the Grand Prince and Lin Xingyang, Ye Wuyou and He Changping, Shen Lingyun and Shu Yao, along with the trusted aides of the Princess' residence, and the newly acquainted Ying Siling and Su Zian from Yecheng, were all already lined up below the high hall, waiting for the newlyweds to come and bow.

Even the two top courtesans from Fenghua Pavilion and Xueyue Pavilion had travelled from afar to attend the ceremony.

At first, Zhou Jinyi had never thought that she would one day take a seat on the high hall like this.

It was not until that day when the Young Master knelt before her and solemnly asked her to sit on the high seat together with her mother as the wedding officiants, that she finally understood—the Young Master, who used to always see her as an eyesore, had now come to fully regard her as an elder.

The child had grown up, become sensible, gotten married, and now even knew to care for her mother.

Even after the two newlyweds had finished their ceremonial bows and were escorted into the bridal chamber, the usual cold expression on Zhou Jinyi’s face still carried a trace of a smile.

As they retreated from outside the bridal chamber, Zhou Jinyi happened to see Shen Lingyun and Shu Yao walking in front of them, their hands tightly clasped together. She could not help but tug at the sleeve of the person beside her and whispered softly, “It seems, it is also time to prepare a wedding for Lingyun and Shu Yao.”

Meng Muxin turned to look at her and gently smoothed out a silver strand of hair that had fallen at her temple. With a soft smile, she said, “I was thinking the same.”

To be a teacher was just like being a mother.

It seemed those two children who did not know how to take the initiative could only rely on their elders to help make the arrangements.

And at this moment, after drinking the wedding wine and sending off the guests, the two newlyweds finally had a moment of peace and quiet. They sat side by side on the wedding bed.

Even after removing the Princess' phoenix crown and various ornaments from her hair, the Young Master's hands still hesitated to touch the Princess' sash. She stammered out a question, “Your… Your Highness, shall we rest now?”

Though the two of them had never lacked for passion in the past, on this day of rightful union, they were both rare in their nervousness.

Li Qiubai let out a helpless laugh. Thinking of the things this person had said and done during their first wedding, she lifted her hand to hook the Young Master's chin and teased, “Why, not calling me sister-in-law anymore?”

Back then, the Young Master had only been forcing a smile.

But now, the Young Master's heart and mind were full of joy that could not be hidden.

Just that one sentence was enough to wipe away all of the Young Master’s nervousness.

Thinking back to that night when the Princess had obtained the imperial decree of divorce from her elder brother and announced it to the world, and how she had worn the Princess out until she had no strength left, the Young Master’s eyes were already tinted with a different kind of emotion.

She wrapped her arms around the Princess’ waist, leaned in to kiss the corner of her lips, and coaxed sweetly, “I was wrong, my wife…”

On the wedding night, with the bridal chamber lit by red candles, the curtains warm, the waves beneath were stirred red.

From then on, as the misty rain fell over the southern city, one held an umbrella as two walked together*.

*this might a euphemism for you know, or maybe it's just my dirty mind

Their beautiful life had only just begun.

After Failing To Escape And Getting Captured By The Empress

Jun Xunhuan was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to train a suitable heir for the Great Yi Dynasty and become the new Imperial Tutor of the Great Yi Dynasty.

The eldest prince is gentle as jade, the fourth princess is smart and clever, and the sixth prince is both civil and military...

Each of them respects the teacher, is well-behaved and obedient, and is her favorite good disciple.

There is only one exception, that is the delicate and weak little princess deep in the palace, who coughs every few steps, gentle and kind.

The little princess was born from a maid, losing the qualification to become the heir. Her miserable situation does not fit with the other favored children of heaven. Even the palace servants look down on her.

Jun Xunhuan felt pity and took good care of her.

But the little princess timidly pulled on her clothes, with red eyes she said quietly, "The Imperial Tutor favors me so much. If the older brothers and sisters know, they will surely be jealous. Imperial Tutor should stay away from someone unlucky like me..."

That night, the little princess was pushed into the lake by the other princes as revenge. She had a high fever and was close to death, yet she still endured the pain to plead for others.

Feeling heartbroken, Jun Xunhuan severely punished her good disciples. But she did not notice the cold smile in the little princess’ eyes.

After the injury healed, the little princess stayed by Jun Xunhuan’s side, eating and living together.

Having a new disciple is good, but every night before sleep, Jun Xunhuan always has some indescribable dreams...

The protagonists are her and the little princess...

This is really damaging to a teacher’s virtue!

Jun Xunhuan felt very guilty. After giving all the lessons to the princes and princesses, she planned to escape quickly.

——————

On the eve of the new emperor’s ascension, the brilliant and stunning Imperial Tutor disappeared without a trace.  

Countless young boys and girls in the capital were heartbroken.  

But unexpectedly, in a dark room, the girl wearing the dragon robe kissed the bound person again and again, her eyes deep and serious.  

“I have made the Imperial Tutor think only of me day and night. Why does the Imperial Tutor still want to escape?”  

Jun Xunhuan gasped coldly, “Could it be that you put something in my calming tea...”  

Could it be that those nightly pleasures were not just dreams...  

“It is not too late for the Imperial Tutor to know now.”

The little princess no longer had the pitiful, tear-filled look of the past.  

She coldly pressed the jade seal onto her body, saying, “Now, the world belongs to me, and the Imperial Tutor belongs to me as well...”

After Being Possesed By My Mortal Enemy

During a life-and-death battle between the Demonic Sect Master, Chu Yuxi, and the Righteous Sect Master, Jun Qinglan, a heavenly thunderbolt struck—sending Chu Yuxi’s soul into her own life-bound sword.

Meanwhile, her mortal enemy, Jun Qinglan, ended up possessing her body, running wild while wearing her skin.

Not only that, but Jun Qinglan even used her identity to bring her own empty husk back to her chambers, staying by its side day and night to heal, never leaving for a moment. She recklessly squandered her treasured spiritual stones and elixirs for its recovery, stirring up all kinds of scandalous rumors.

When Chu Yuxi’s sect members humiliated Jun Qinglan, Jun Qinglan—wearing her face—drew her sword and declared, 'In my heart, she is the unattainable, radiant moonlight. How dare you insult her so carelessly?!

‘Sword spirit' Chu Yuxi was stunned: 'Do you have no shame?!

When Chu Yuxi’s former love came to confess their feelings, Jun Qinglan remained cold and dismissive, rejecting them outright in her name.

“I am already Qinglan’s person now. If you continue to pester me, do not blame my sword for being merciless.”

The ‘sword spirit’ Chu Yuxi trembled with fury, her very blade quivering—”Who is your person?!"

By the time Chu Yuxi finally reclaimed her body, the entire cultivation world had already spread tales of her devoted infatuation.  

Unable to endure the humiliation, Sect Master Chu stormed off in fury, sword in hand, to confront the culprit behind it all.  

"You spent my spirit stones, ruined my reputation, and sabotaged my love life! We are settling this debt today!"  

Yet the cold and aloof beauty of the cultivation world merely smiled, "Indeed, we should. Then why do I not simply compensate you with myself?"  

Chu Yuxi scoffed in disgust, "What use would you be? Just to continue ruining my chances? Absolutely not!"  

Many years later, when Sect Master Chu realized that her struggles in securing a marriage proposal were all because of that one sentence, she deeply regretted her past words.

"After Meeting My Ex In Person During An Online Dating [Full Dive]"

For the big prize money in the national competition of the full-dive online game "Fantasy Land", Shu Yihan agreed to team up with the top-ranked young lady on her friend list. They signed up for the competition together as a strong duo.

The rules said the teammates' intimacy level had to be over 10,000 before the game started.

But they didn't spend much time online together, so they couldn't complete dungeons to raise their intimacy. The only way was to become a couple in the game and finish the daily special couple tasks to max out their intimacy.

Things like kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up could give the same intimacy as completing dungeons all day.

This method made the intimacy go up fast and high. The two hit it off right away, and that same day they rolled together in the in-game cabin, unlocking deeper levels of special couple tasks.

It was all the haptic suit's fault for feeling way too real. After using this method every day for half a month to boost their intimacy fast, the old single woman Shu Yihan was already full of fire from holding it in.

After several explicit and implicit hints from the other party, the excited old single woman finally decided to meet the other party.

On the day they met in real life, she saw the other person leaning against the hotel room door, looking at her coldly.  

"Shu-jiejie, do you remember how long it’s been since we last met?"

Oh—so it was that little girl she had pinned against the wall and kissed into a daze seven years ago, now back from overseas to collect the debt.

Shu Yihan turned around and tried to run, but the other person pulled her into the room.

"Only flirts but doesn't marry? Scumbag woman!"

Afterwards, the culprit who tortured her to the point of backache even had the nerve to lean down and tease her by her ear: "Jiejie, remember to be responsible for me this time."

Shu Yihan: “…”

"After Becoming the Villainess’ Cannon Fodder Fake Little Sister" — by Shanzhu Haochi

After Gu Ruanruan died, she turned into a cannon fodder with the same name in a rich family's dog-blood tragic love novel.

The original host, as the big villain Jiang Cen's fake little sister in name, had amazing fighting power, awesome work ability, and even the donkey in the production team wasn’t as hardworking as her...

She not only used all kinds of crazy ways to mess with the White Moonlight female lead that Jiang Cen liked, but also teamed up with outsiders to scheme against her after failing to win Jiang Cen’s love. She ate from inside while digging from outside and stole the magpie’s nest. In the end, her evil plan was exposed, her name was ruined, and the blackened Jiang Cen sent her to a mental hospital where she was tortured to death.

When Gu Ruanruan transmigrated, the original body was just pushing the villain down on the sofa and saying bold words.

Jiang Cen’s voice was ice-cold: “Gu Ruanruan, you know the consequences.”

Gu Ruanruan: The hand that committed the crime, slightly trembled.

She accidentally didn’t control her strength well, and Jiang Cen’s shirt buttons popped off one by one...

Gu Ruanruan: “...” Rest in peace :)

***

To stay alive, Gu Ruanruan had to grow slowly and quietly. She decided to fix all the things that made Jiang Cen turn evil, and try to raise her to be plump, white (fog) and think in the right way!

After that, Gu Ruanruan became Jiang Cen’s little cotton-padded jacket with holes and shrinking size!

Slowly, the way Jiang Cen looked at Gu Ruanruan started to become strange.

Gu Ruanruan thought her job was finished. She planned to take her small money box and run away, not taking even a little bit of the Jiang family’s money!

She never thought that Jiang Cen still turned dark!

Only for the shou · one push and she falls · cold, quiet, serious, strict, and sharp-tongued top.  

Only for the gong · tiger out of the cage · dares to talk back but does not dare to fight sand sculpture little sunshine shou.

Already more than 400,000 words, ready to eat, almost finished~

Shanzhu’s page also has another silly and funny finished story of the same style: “Transmigrated Into A Villain’s Suicidal Fiancée [Transmigrated Into a Book]” — dear readers, please enjoy with no worries!
