Like Sister Wei, no matter when he met her, her clothes were always a pure white, untainted by the mundane world. How could she be like Li Ruantang, not even knowing her own collar was open? Shamelessly exposing that bit of white, not knowing any shame at all!

He was so annoyed that even the back of his neck turned crimson.

“What?”

Li Ruantang lowered her head in a daze. Her complexion, which had just calmed down, instantly flushed with various colors. “I, I’m sorry.”

She absolutely didn’t intend to be frivolous, but it wasn’t good to make more explanations at this moment. It would also save the embarrassed young gentleman from being more at a loss.

Li Ruantang calmed herself and quickly tidied her collar with her hands. She changed the subject, saying, “Then do you know why you appeared here with me, sir?”

Meng Jun’s shoulders stiffened as he turned his back, but he didn’t immediately respond to her.

Thanks to Li Ruantang’s protection, he wasn’t injured at all, only knocked unconscious.

In this dazed state, Meng Jun had heard the woman who brought them back say many unpleasant things, including the matter of beating Li Ruantang with a bamboo pole, and also…

The young gentleman pursed his lips. This world was difficult for men. Especially in this place that looked impoverished, men without a wife-master were even more restricted.

Just now, he had heard it loud and clear. This family said that if he wasn’t Li Ruantang’s husband, they would directly give him to Lady Fu in the village.

In their words, they completely disregarded the hundred-year-old laws of the Great Jin.

Meng Jun was shocked upon hearing it, but he also knew that it would be difficult for him to escape with his strength alone. He also understood that if he was really forcibly pressured to lose the guardian sand on his arm in this place, even if people from the mansion came to rescue him later, he would likely have lost his reputation.

How could he then return to the capital and attend poetry gatherings with Sister Wei?

Fortunately, now Li Ruantang didn’t remember anything.

The young gentleman gritted his teeth in hatred. Between two evils, choose the lesser. Compared to these villagers who didn’t know propriety, he would rather lower his stance and coax Li Ruantang.

Moreover, when they were young, she didn’t intentionally pull off his waistband either. If she hadn’t tripped and had nowhere to grab onto, she wouldn’t have implicated him.

Forget it, forget it, they were all past events anyway.

Meng Jun sighed softly and secretly glanced back at Li Ruantang, who was tidying her collar behind him. The wound on her forehead was initially bandaged by the lady of this family, done sloppily and perfunctorily.

It was only because he couldn’t bear to see it after waking up that he carefully untied it and redid it.

He had seen the wound, and it wasn’t too serious. Moreover, judging from her agile movements just now when dodging the spider, Meng Jun felt a few more parts relieved in his heart.

However, her complexion was truly terrible. He didn’t know if she had any other injuries.

The young gentleman pondered and pondered. In the end, he was only borrowing her name. Those phoenix eyes seemed to be stained with peach blossoms, blooming for an entire spring. He hadn’t even spoken yet.

Then he saw Li Ruantang cup her hands and ask in all seriousness, “May I ask, sir, if your family has arranged a marriage for you?”

In This Life, I Won’t Be Foolish To Lose You Again (Female-dominant)

I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!

Intro

When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.

After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.

Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.

Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.

At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.

The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.

He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.

[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
