I Have a Very Good Husband

【The male lead is obnoxious and difficult early on, with an immature personality. The woman is tormented at first, and the man later. This is not a political scheming novel; it’s a “chasing your wife to the crematorium” story.】 Li Zhen, a courtesan raised for sale, once did something truly despicable. She took money to seduce Prince Ning and make him fall helplessly in love with her, then cruelly humiliated him and walked away. At the time, Prince Ning was locked in a bitter struggle with the other princes for the throne. Because of what happened, he lost his chance to become crown prince, while she fled, changed her name, and disappeared. Rumor had it that Prince Ning never recovered. He shut himself away in his manor, indulged in nightly revelry, and wasted away like a walking corpse. Li Zhen felt deeply troubled. From what she knew of Prince Ning, he was narrow-minded and always repaid a grudge. If he caught her, she would be as good as dead. Fortunately, he never found her. Three years passed. She had put the past behind her and was discussing marriage with a merchant named Cui Yan. After their wedding, she and her husband got along well. The only problem was that he went away on business every so often, and seemed to be hiding some kind of secret. Then one day, Li Zhen couldn’t resist following her husband and discovered a truth that left her utterly stunned. Once again, she had no choice but to pack her belongings, assume a new identity, and run.
