The Second Male Lead Takes the Throne: Regent, I Hope You're Well

[The second male lead gets the girl + the male lead chases his wife after losing her + no getting back together + devoted to each other]

She was the woman Pei Qingli had rescued from slave traders. Pei Qingli was a revered Imperial Preceptor.

Song Qinghuan had been born a slave, and he changed her status.

She got her wish and married him.

For three years of marriage, he treated her wonderfully, but they never consummated it. He always had an excuse to keep her at a distance.

It hurt her, but she stopped dwelling on it.

One day, three years later, he seemed to become a different person.

Only then did she understand.

She had merely been a substitute for his senior sister. She had never caught his eye.

He had thought his senior sister was dead and was overcome with grief. Then he happened to discover Song Qinghuan, whose face resembled hers, and brought her back to his residence...

Who could have guessed that the news of his senior sister's death was a lie?

Qin Yujiao's return left Song Qinghuan at a disadvantage.

She became Qin Yujiao's plaything.

Pei Qingli gripped her by the throat and put her down at every turn.

"Song Qinghuan, everything you have was given to you by me. You were lowborn to begin with!"

"You're nothing but my appendage."

"A slave is a slave. Don't overestimate your place."

In the end, Song Qinghuan was bedridden, coughing up blood without end. She died in that dilapidated wooden hut...

That night was Pei Qingli and Qin Yujiao's wedding night.

When she opened her eyes again, she was nineteen.

She and Pei Qingli had been married for two years, and he loved her more than ever.

Pei Qingli knelt before her and begged her to stay, but this time she didn't stop for him.

This time, she would live for herself.

Who would have thought Pei Qingli would haunt her like a ghost, pursuing her like a madman?

Then the Prince Regent appeared and kicked Pei Qingli aside!
