Name: After Torturing His Wife to Death, Fifth Master Regrets It
Author: Wen He

Synopsis

(Heartbreak and a groveling husband) It was the sixth year of their marriage, and the eleventh year she had loved him.

She had just been diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer.

She was going to die.

“Shen Chun, you don’t need to waste your time putting on an act for me.”

Her beloved was so gentle, yet the words he spoke were so cruel. “Is this your new trick?”

Shen Chun’s face remained calm, but her eyes glistened with tears about to fall. “I have the test results.”

He seemed to smile. His cool, callous voice roused the heart that was about to stop beating in Shen Chun’s chest. It pounded deafeningly, as if it might shatter, proclaiming her love for him. Qin Gu simply set down his cutlery and gallantly pulled out her chair.

“You’ve misunderstood me.” He gently pressed Shen Chun into her seat. “I’m not questioning you, and you don’t have to prove anything to me.”

He sighed helplessly. “Even if what you’re saying is true, so what? I don’t care at all. Do you understand?”

That was right.

Shen Chun lowered her eyes in misery. A tear fell onto the fine silk of her nightdress and vanished, the moment so brief it was like her whole life.

“I’m not coming home tonight.”

The tenderness from moments ago seemed like an illusion. In the blink of an eye, he was gone, surrounded by people, and the closing door sealed away the deathly silence in the room.

He walked toward the light, leaving the darkness for her alone.

Any Unusually Angsty Novels?

I don't want stories with a groveling ex, or ones where the protagonist is treated coldly, does all the laundry, and eventually dies or leaves. I want to read about the pain of having no choice, or struggling to survive in a twisted, malicious world where you can't live or die (?).
