    This is not a typical story of a resentful husband. The male and female leads are from different worlds. The female lead returns to her own world, and then the male lead immediately opens his eyes and starts looking for a wife. Oh, no, the male lead probably didn't sleep at all and immediately started looking for a wife.

    Both books perfectly meet the requirements! The male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight and has harbored a secret crush on her for two lifetimes. Reborn, he forcefully takes her away, first by abruptly stealing her from the street, then by rushing to the palace to beg for a marriage decree. He's incredibly possessive and competitive, not allowing the female lead to even glance at another man—a truly resentful husband! Super sweet, super doting, and super funny—highly recommended!

Main synopsis: Liang Yunzhen has always been a low-key, obedient girl. She has foxy eyes and a seductive face, but she is a decent, honest person. The only high-profile thing she did was date and get engaged to the wealthy and powerful Cen Hua. Cen Hua, twenty-eight years old, 188 cm tall, and has a devastatingly handsome face, is aloof and noble. She thought she had struck gold and snagged a rich husband. Little did she know that he was not only a flirtatious and clingy man but also a dangerous individual. One day after their engagement, she witnessed his ruthless side firsthand—cold, ruthless, and aloof. The methods were ruthless, leaving Liang Yunzhen's neck feeling cold. A wealthy and powerful husband was important, but not as important as her life. She only wanted to annul the engagement. Cen Hua, upon hearing this, merely smiled, "Don't do anything foolish." But she was serious. Cen Hua's smile faded, "Liang Yunzhen, it's too late. We're in the same boat now." Later, he half-knelt on the bed, bending down to pull her into his arms, wrapping the rope around her again and again, "I told you, don't do anything foolish. Go find some random man just to annul the engagement? You're tired of living." Only then did Liang Yunzhen realize that she had been targeted by a mad dog. After that, Liang Yunzhen abandoned her composure and gave up on reasoning. Some people don't understand human language, so you can't speak human language to them—this was a lesson she learned from Cen Hua.
