After Witnessing My Gentle Husband's Massacre

[Originally titled "Fake Wife"] · Yu Niang woke up one day with no memory of her past, only to be told that she had a husband. Her husband was a scholar, gentle and reserved, handsome and refined, and utterly faithful and devoted to her. She was going to live happily with her husband for the rest of their lives! No, for the next life, too! Until one rainy night. Her frail scholar of a husband was holding a saber, its cold gleam reflecting a gaze as cruel as that of a demon from hell. Beneath the blade lay endless blood and a sea of corpses. He walked toward her step by step, then leaned close, his handsome face spattered with blood, and coaxed her gently: "Wife, would you wipe this off for your husband?" . Yan Sui, the eldest young master of the Yan family, was as pure as jade and gold, disciplined and scrupulous. His skill and ability made him the undisputed heir to the Yan family. Beneath this perfect exterior lay a heart of utter coldness and cruelty. But this ruthless legitimate heir had a weakness no one knew about: the wife of a condemned official, whom he'd accidentally taken in at one of his country estates. Yan Sui doted on her, indulged her, and granted every wish she made. His friends thought she was spoiled and beneath him in station, and suggested that Yan Sui send her away as soon as possible. Yan Sui replied unhurriedly, "She's sly by nature, and so charming and clever. How could I let her go and wreak havoc on other men?" . She could wreak havoc on him instead. . The condemned official was finally executed. Before he died, he begged Yan Sui to let him see his wife. But when a woman utterly unlike the one he knew entered the prison cell, Yan Sui was left speechless. Yan Sui: ...This is your wife, so who is the woman in my house? . Yu Niang, the orphaned daughter of Prince Ning, had lived among commoners for ten years. At last, she returned to Shengjing, where she was to marry Xie Xuanli, heir to the Xie family. As for the absurd affair that had taken place during her amnesia, Yu Niang decided to leave it behind and run away. But at a night banquet in Shengjing, she was astonished to see her fake husband, whom she'd left behind in the countryside, seated on the dais, watching her with a faint smile. An incense stick later, Yu Niang was drenched in sweat, but Yan Sui still wouldn't let her go. In a cold, sinister voice, he asked, "My good wife, you and the Xie heir are in perfect harmony. So what does that make me?" "Your secret lover?" . Not a chance! / Thank you so much for reading my story, my dears! Next up: "After Escaping the Regent Prince." Here's the blurb: When Ling Zhao was eight, she was sent to the Prince Regent's residence with nothing but a bundle of belongings. The tall, distinguished man crouched down and gently brushed the crumbs from the pastries she'd snuck off her face. In a serious voice, he told her, "From now on, this is your home." He was Xie Changheng, the most powerful man in the Great Liang Empire. During the years she lived at the residence, Xie Changheng honored her parents' dying wish. He raised and protected her, taught her to read and write, and trained her in riding and archery. He was extremely strict with her, but in private he would patiently soothe her. He fulfilled the duties of her father and older brother. They were supposed to be as close as siblings, looking after one another. But Ling Zhao alone knew that she harbored a restless desire to possess him, to claim him for herself. She thought she could bury it away, keep it a secret no one would ever discover. But when she was sixteen, drunk and in the wrong room, she confessed her girlish feelings to Xie Changheng... His deep, fathomless eyes were filled with astonishment and surging anger. He dressed her again, piece by piece, then coldly said, "Get out." The next day, he went off to war. For three years, there was no word from him. Not long after he returned, he brought a gentle, refined woman back to the residence and said, "This will be your sister-in-law from now on." Xie Changheng had never looked at her with the tenderness he showed his new sister-in-law. . Ling Zhao moved out of the Prince Regent's residence. She wanted nothing more to do with Xie Changheng. She had to make her own plans. After a night banquet in Shengjing, scandalous rumors spread everywhere. That night, Xie Changheng came to her residence. His abyss-dark eyes churned with the fury of a storm about to break. "I really did raise you to be this wanton." He restrained himself, held back, and advanced toward Ling Zhao step by step. His voice was utterly emotionless. "You dared to climb into my bed when you were sixteen. I thought you'd changed, but you still dare to seduce other men." He clamped a hand around her chin. With the other, he unfastened the belt at his waist, his gaze fixed on her red lips, glistening with moisture. "Do you have to keep making me angry?" . He should have crushed this filthy heart of his. But when had it become so filthy? He could no longer remember. He only remembered how his heart had pounded and pounded, thumping wildly. It made his back go cold and his hands break into a sweat. He was terrified. If you like it, my dears, please add it to your favorites! Kisses, kisses, kisses! Theme: Personal growth
