Angsty pursuit of the wife | A terrible man with a true heart | Slight fantasy, no cultivation | Mainly about the two leads falling in love
The moment Su'e learned that Lin Jin and Qi Huanyan had conspired to deceive her, all she wanted was for them to die.
But simply killing them wouldn't begin to repay the pain of having her heart and liver cut out.

Su'e knew her husband's superior had never liked her.
She had no idea there was more to his dislike than that.
When her senior sister took her to the roof to eavesdrop, Su'e still didn't believe it.
Not until the gentleman beneath the beam said:
"I truly did resent her for taking you from me. I wanted to cut her to pieces, and force you to do that in front of her, so she'd know who really occupied your heart. Your clan elders are pressuring you to leave them an heir. Are you really going to let her drive a wedge between us over that? If you don't want her dead, that's easy enough to arrange. Once she gives birth to your child, we'll send her off to some remote estate."
The gentle voice offered no refusal. "Then I'd be wronging my wife."
After a moment of silence, Qi Huanyan couldn't be bothered to correct Lin Jin for still calling her his wife. He only gave a scornful, mocking laugh. "The two of us have wronged plenty of people. As the daughter of a disgraced official, she should be grateful to me for arranging this marriage and letting her become your wife."
Reader advisory: The landmines come right at the beginning. If this isn't your thing, don't read it. Both the male lead and the male supporting character are straight, and they form an alliance and deceive each other for their own benefit.
Theme: Reject the shame of being blinded by love.
It's cool. Please write more chapters. If you update it every day, someone will find this article. That's how I got it.
