After Being Reborn, I Became the Apple of a Mountain Man's Eye

In her previous life, Zhao Ling'er loved Xiao Heng for ten years. It wasn't until the moment she perished in a sea of flames that she realized how ridiculous her love had been.

When she was reborn, she thought she could escape his clutches, only to find herself back on their wedding night.

Facing a ruthless man from the start, she decided to give up her gentle, devoted ways from her previous life. She would flatter and butter up the future powerful minister, then wait for her chance to divorce him and run.

But this mountain man seemed to have changed too. He was no longer cold and cruel. His eyes were tender and mesmerizing, and he looked as if he wanted to devour her. He even said:

“Wife, where do you think you're going? Your husband only wants to lend you his legs to hold on to.”

As his fingers stroked the icy blade inch by inch, she changed her tune. “I'm not running. A brutish husband has three great qualities: a good figure, a handsome face, and even better stamina.”

“That's more like it.” Xiao Heng tossed aside the weapon in his hand and happily scooped her up.

Trembling, Zhao Ling'er steeled herself to gather herbs, farm the land, open a food shop, and start side businesses to make a fortune. But her brutish husband was just as busy.

He went up the mountains to hunt tigers and dived into the sea to slay dragons. He was wild enough to take on bandits, and in the end, he even rose to become a first-rank minister.

Was Zhao Ling'er's improved luck because she had been reborn with a lucky koi spirit pet?

All she wanted to say was that her back was in great shape.
