After Marrying the Powerful Minister as a Substitute Bride and Pretending to Be Innocent, the Adorable Pet Regretted It Too Late

Su Nuo, a paranormal powerhouse at the peak of her abilities, fails her tribulation and returns to age eighteen. The moment she opens her eyes, her family sends her to take her sister’s place in an arranged marriage to Lu Chenyuan, a college student rumored to be “simple and harmless.” She plans to keep a low profile and recover, but soon discovers that beneath her sweet, gentle husband’s eyes lies unfathomable darkness. Even Lin Weiwei, the kind and considerate best friend at her side, turns out to be a hypocritical homewrecker coveting Lu Chenyuan. Stranger still, paranormal incidents plague the Lu family’s old mansion, with vengeful spirits lurking on every staircase, each one seemingly intent on claiming a life. The one orchestrating it all is Lu Chenyuan’s seemingly benevolent great-uncle, Lu Mingyuan, a powerful court official. As Su Nuo tears the homewrecker down and kicks the hypocritical official aside, the supposedly innocent Lu Chenyuan catches her sleeve, eyes red-rimmed: “Nuo Nuo, don’t leave me.” Su Nuo sneers. “Mr. Lu, I got tired of your act of innocence a long time ago.” Later, the man who holds power over the entire court kneels before her, laying the love he has hidden for ten years at her feet. “Nuo Nuo, I only pretended to be innocent because I was afraid you’d think I was dirty.”
