Will My Frail Husband Die Young? She Can’t Wait to Marry Him

[Love Grows Over Time + A Long Road to Win His Wife Back] In her previous life, Li Shu married the heir to the Marquis of Guangping. Neglected by her husband, provoked by his concubines, and ignored by her in-laws, she became a bitter, lonely wife confined to the inner chambers. In the end, she died of a hemorrhage during a difficult childbirth. Reborn on her wedding day, she watched the heir and a transmigrated woman disrupt the ceremony. She flung down a divorce letter, promptly found herself a better match, and became the second wife of the widowed Crown Prince. All of Bianjing knew the Crown Prince was sickly and unlikely to live through the year. Li Shu was more than happy to hear it. After all, getting promoted, getting rich, and a husband's death were life's three great joys. She dutifully played the Crown Princess, offering warmth to the chronically ill prince and drawing closer to her stepson and stepdaughter, all while dreaming of one day ascending to the throne as Empress Dowager. Only after the Crown Prince died did Li Shu learn the sordid truth about the royal family. Thinking of the little affection she had shared with her late husband, she took the divorce papers and returned to her family home with his two children. Five years later, Li Shu had become Bianjing's richest woman. Her husband from her previous life began pestering her, declaring that he would marry no one but her. To get rid of him, Li Shu publicly announced that she was seeking a husband. At the suitor-selection banquet, she drunkenly thought she saw her late husband in the new ruler of a foreign land. With tears in her eyes and longing in her gaze, she grabbed his chin and said, “You're quite handsome. How about becoming my kept man?” The new ruler wrapped an arm around her waist and gritted his teeth by her ear. “I left you an enormous inheritance and taught you how to protect yourself. And this is how you repay me? Hmm? By putting horns on my head? Li Shu, you must have a death wish.”
