Mistakenly Married to a Spineless Man, I Tear Apart the Forbidden Bond Between In-Laws

Three volumes of sorrow and joy: three heartbreaking loves that could never be fulfilled (A mistaken marriage, the shackles of propriety, and a love the world could not accept: three romances ending in utter defeat, every word a lingering regret.) [Volume One · A Fateful Mistake Behind Red Walls] Her husband is chronically ill and paralyzed; the household is full of sinister schemes, and others have seized control of the family estate. After giving birth to only three daughters, she is humiliated and tormented at every turn by the entire household. When she reaches the end of her tether, she resolutely takes her daughters and escapes. But the humiliation and filth steeped into that mansion become a scar that will never heal for the rest of her life. [Volume Two · A Love Bound for Half a Lifetime] After his brother’s death, rumors and the dictates of propriety become an insurmountable wall between them, separating them as surely as death. He loves her deeply but keeps his feelings hidden, protecting her from harm. Helpless, she can only harden her heart and drive him away. A trap forces them into a tangled predicament, leaving their love impossible to resolve. Obsession binds them to their regrets, and longing consumes half a lifetime. In the end, neither finds happiness. [Volume Three · A Love Like No Other] A frail eldest son and the only son of a merchant fall in love, but their clan will not tolerate their relationship for a moment. One is imprisoned in the ancestral hall; the other flees for his life. The survivor searches for his beloved across a thousand miles, only to find him surrounded by children. In despair, he throws himself into the sea. But to his dying day, he never learns that the one he loved had died horribly in the ancestral hall long ago, and that even the last traces of his love had been erased by the family. His heart shattered, he plunges into the sea and takes his own life. “Three tragic romances: one person escapes alone; one is trapped by convention; one gives their whole heart, only for the world to erase every trace that their love ever existed.”
