Reborn to Marry a Man with a Short Life, I Leave My Jerk Ex Weeping with Regret

[Period setting + reborn + golden finger + military marriage + regretful scumbag + face-slapping the scum]

Everyone said Shen Zhiyi was marrying up by marrying Liang Chaoming.

Only she, reborn, knew the Liang family was a living hell.

Marrying into the Liang family meant becoming their unpaid maid, working like an ox.

And Liang Chaoming was a complete scumbag.

Given another chance at life, she decisively broke off the engagement.

Since her older female cousin wanted the match, Shen Zhiyi would let her have it.

After all, in her previous life, her cousin had been so vicious she tried to kill her.

Now she could get a taste of what it was like to live in that hellhole.

But what was with the short-lived man watching the spectacle from the sidelines?

He actually said he wanted to marry her, even though she'd just broken off her engagement?

Shen Zhiyi thought it over. In her previous life, this short-lived man had died soon after, so marrying him would be fine.

Once he was gone, she could live happily as a widow on his compensation.

But she waited and waited. Why wasn't he dying?

And what about that scumbag? Weren't he and her cousin supposed to be madly in love?

Why was he now weeping in front of her, saying he regretted everything?
