My Late Husband Was Reborn, So I Married Someone Else

Previously published under the title My Late Husband Came Back After I Remarried

As Gao Lian drew his last breath, he saw Yu Liuzhou from next door vault over the wall, eyeing his wife, Yan Ping.

He was consumed with hatred. He had been a spirited young man, but the very year he passed the palace exams and became a reading companion to the Crown Prince, he fell gravely ill and took to his bed.

Marrying Yan Ping was the thing he was proudest of in his life.

But Yu Liuzhou, from the general's residence next door, had set his sights on her.

Yu Liuzhou vaulted the wall every few days.

Yan Ping never paid him any mind. She only said, “I have a husband.”

Yu Liuzhou said, “I know.”

Yan Ping said, “I'm thirty-three, and the general is only twenty.”

Yu Liuzhou said, “I know.”

Yet he refused to give up. Once, right in front of Gao Lian, he brazenly said to Yan Ping, “How many days can that good-for-nothing Gao Lian possibly have left? Why bother staying by his side?”

Yan Ping looked at Gao Lian, who was barely clinging to life, and shook her head. She and Gao Lian had been married since they were young, and she couldn't let go of their bond.

Yu Liuzhou's gaze darkened. “Fine. I'll wait for you. I'll wait until Gao Lian dies.”

Gao Lian was furious, but he could do nothing, coughing up blood as he was.

Gao Lian died consumed by hatred. When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn as Prince Jian'an.

The first thing he did was go looking for his wife, Yan Ping.

Their old home was completely empty.

But from the general's residence next door came the sound of his wife's laughter.

He vaulted over the wall and saw Yu Liuzhou holding a woman in his arms. The two were chatting and laughing, deeply in love.

That woman was his wife in his previous life, Yan Ping.

After that, he came to climb the wall every day, doing exactly what Yu Liuzhou had done to Yan Ping in his previous life.

Yan Ping and Yu Liuzhou were devoted to each other, so naturally she ignored him. But he wouldn't give up.

Gao Lian said, “What's so great about that brute, Yu Liuzhou?”

Yan Ping said, “He's my husband.”

Gao Lian said, “I know.”

Yan Ping said, “I'm thirty-seven, and Your Highness is only twenty.”

Gao Lian said, “I know.”

Gao Lian vowed to return to Yan Ping's side.

Gao Lian: a gloomy, ghostly presence. Yan Ping: gentle on the outside, unyielding within. Yu Liuzhou: a passionate, wild mad dog.

Coming soon: Tang Branches Are Hard to Climb (Marriage First, Love Later)

Wei Ji has two great regrets in life:

He resents that Tan Zhuozhi slept with him in the first half of his life.

He resents that Tan Zhuozhi no longer wants to sleep with him in the second half.

To protect her family business, Tan Zhuozhi has no choice but to find a powerful ally. She sets her sights on Wei Ji, whom she was betrothed to years ago.

Their marriage has been delayed again and again, because Wei Ji looks down on Tan Zhuozhi for being a merchant's daughter rather than a member of a prominent clan.

Tan Zhuozhi schemes to “sleep with” Wei Ji and gets her wish: she marries him.

Furious, Wei Ji calls her shameless and despicable, then swears, “I will never look at her twice for the rest of my life!”

Tan Zhuozhi only wants the Wei family as her protector. No matter how Wei Ji mocks her or resents her, she doesn't care in the slightest.

She thinks the two of them will be resentful spouses for life. She never imagined that one day Wei Ji would find that he could never get enough of looking at her.

Tan Zhuozhi laughs and rubs her forehead.

“Whatever. Raising a man is just like raising a dog. Before they grow accustomed to you, they always yap.”

A haughty, pampered dragon among men
