I Married the Wrong Mr. Huo, but Your Little Rose Has Someone in Her Heart

Jiang Li’s life is like that of a puppet pulled along by strings.

Adopted by Old Master Huo as an orphan from the Jiang family, she was branded from childhood as “the future bride of Huo Zhiwu, the fifth son.”

But the one who quietly took up residence in her heart was the upright fourth son, Huo Lin.

An absurd mix-up completely derailed her life.

Old Master Huo’s butler, Old Liu, took the wrong household registration booklet, making her the legal wife of Huo Xuanye, the most feared third master of the Huo family.

Huo Xuanye, the man who was five years older than her and always shrouded in an icy aura, merely glanced at her without a word when he learned the truth.

Jiang Li chose to stay silent, too.

So the two maintained a strange balance under the same roof, greeting each other in the morning and nodding when they came home at night, as polite as strangers sharing a rental.

She continued to conceal her feelings for Huo Lin, while he seemed completely indifferent to this marriage in name only.

Until one day, word spread throughout the Huo family that “Huo Xuanye’s first love is back in the country.”

Jiang Li clutches the hem of her clothes and finds the man handling paperwork in his study. Her voice is deliberately calm. “Huo Xuanye, let’s get a divorce.”

The man looks up. His dark eyes are unfathomable, and his fingers pause on the documents. His tone gives nothing away. “Why?”

“Your person is back,” Jiang Li says, avoiding his gaze. “This marriage was a mistake from the start. It’s time to end it.”

He suddenly lets out a low laugh, stands, and moves closer, his hot breath brushing her ear. “Jiang Li, do you think you can start and end a marriage whenever you want?”

He reaches out and grips her chin, forcing her to look up.

“Or are you in such a hurry to get divorced because of Huo Lin?”
