My Ex Wants It All

Misunderstanding, divorce, and a groveling ex-husband + second-chance romance + a possessive, powerful minister

Three years after our divorce, my ex-husband rose from a disgraced official to become the Marquis of Zhenbei, a man who wielded power over the entire court. I only wanted to keep my head down and go unnoticed. Who knew he would haunt me like a ghost!

At the Qionglin Banquet, I kindly tried to set him up with the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. The moment I turned around, he cornered me in an alley and dragged me into a carriage.

My childhood sweetheart was gentle and considerate, always there to comfort me, but my ex-husband abused his power for revenge and had the man's father stripped of his post.

With red-rimmed eyes, I demanded to know what he wanted. He said nothing, only staring at me with those obsessive eyes.

It wasn't until the Yun family was falsely accused of treason that I knelt outside his study from dawn until dusk, begging him to show mercy.

Instead, he gripped my chin and demanded harshly, "Have you fallen for him?"

I nodded in spite, then cried as I cursed him: "Yan Hanqing! What right did you have to cast me aside like I was worthless back then, and now demand both my body and my heart!"

He flew into a towering rage, and I fled in disgrace. But not long after, I learned that behind our bitter divorce was a life-and-death ordeal he'd kept from me for three years...

Does my ex-husband want to have it both ways?
