Brazilian Pine Nuts

Before the nation's fall, Murong Yu was the prime minister's legitimate daughter. She was surrounded by servants who catered to her every need, born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was the epitome of a spoiled beauty.

After the nation's demise, she became a concubine to the Northern Lord.

This Northern Lord resented her, loathed her, and didn't like her at all. Yet, she had to endure it all because he held the fate of her entire family in his hands.

However, in the fifth year of being with him, Murong Yu was reborn.

She returned to her radiant youth, where the once all-powerful Northern Lord was now nothing more than a lowly servant in her family's residence.

The future Northern Lord counted the things that Murong Yu did. The young miss had taught him martial arts, educated him, personally made pills to replenish his body, cared for him tenderly, and supported him in every way possible. She had nurtured him into an imposing and dignified figure. 

Unable to repay her kindness, he could only offer himself to her!

Murong Yu, who had only wanted to lean on this future bigshot for support, thought, 'Did I push too hard? Is it too late to regret now?!'


After My Rebirth, I Pampered the Villain Lord

Murong Rui's legs remained shaky even after she was escorted back to her courtyard.

"Lady Rui, this is wonderful! Lady Yu is willing to let you be with Young Lord Huo!" Qiao'er said, beaming with joy.

"What's so wonderful? This is a complete disaster!" Murong Rui said as her face darkened.

"What happened, my lady?" Qiao'er was taken aback.

"Do I not know my father's temperament? If he were to assist the House of Marquis Huo, it wouldn't be easy. That's why we especially need the support of the House of Lord Li. Murong Yu marrying into the Huo family is the best option. How can I marry into their house?" Murong Rui said, her face overcast.

Murong Rui knew that the Huo family would never accept her, a mere illegitimate daughter. Therefore, Murong Yu must be the one to marry into the Huo family, while Murong Rui could work on capturing Huo Yuan's heart.

Once everything was settled, Murong Rui could marry Huo Yuan as a concubine. Only then could Murong Rui plot against Murong Yu slowly.

But it was definitely not the right time now; everything had been exposed.

Murong Yu had sent a letter to her own mother. Her marriage proposal with the Huo family would surely be canceled; otherwise, it would never end.

However, it wasn't technically a cancellation since the engagement was only verbal and never officially acknowledged. So, they simply switched the bride-to-be to Murong Rui.

The House of Lord Li received the news quickly. Madam Murong received the letter in her maternal home. Far from being angry, her brows relaxed.

'I never wanted Huo Yuan as a son-in-law but had no choice as Yu'er was fond of him. I dare them to mistreat my daughter with their family's current state. They had never consulted both the Murong and Li family about this. But now, Huo Yuan has exposed himself. How dare he think he could enjoy having two wives?' Madam Murong thought.

However, Madam Murong chose not to act and thought this would be a good experience for her daughter.

Unbeknownst to Huo Yuan, his fig leaf had been torn away by Murong Yu. After meeting with Murong Rui, he went to dine with a friend at a restaurant. On the way, he ran into Murong Jin.

"Yuan, you're here too?" Murong Jin asked as he was happy to see Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan maintained his composure and said, "I'm dining with Zhou Qiguang inside. Would you like to join us?"

Even though Huo Yuan was engaged to Murong Yu, he preferred the delicate and dependent Murong Rui. Because Murong Rui was so deeply in love with him, he felt more at ease and could be himself around Murong Rui. He had almost taken advantage of Murong Rui in the carriage.

"Yuan, why are you dining with Zhou Qiguang? He's not a good guy." Murong Jin immediately warned.

"What happened?" Huo Yuan asked as he looked at Murong Jin.

"What happened? The other day at the hunting ground, he almost killed my nomad slave!" Murong Jin scoffed.

"I thought it was something serious. It's just a nomad slave. Would you like to join us?" Huo Yuan asked.

"No, I have someone to meet as well." Murong Jin replied.

Huo Yuan then told the waiter, "Put it on my tab for Young Master Murong."

"Alright," the waiter acknowledged.

"Thanks, Yuan," Murong Jin grinned, bowing slightly.

Not only did Huo Yuan pay the bill, but he also ordered some delicious pastries to be packed for Murong Jin to take back home.

"Sis, look what I've brought for you!" Murong Jin said.

"What is it?" Murong Yu asked. She was engrossed in a medical book, and didn't even look up.

"Pastries, your favorite Hibiscus Puff! Guess who asked me to bring them back for you?" Murong Jin said with a smile.
