Your Title Back (Reborn)

Jing Hui lost her parents when she was young and grew up in her aunt's home. Delicate and frail, with a cool disposition, she was hardly an easy match to marry off. Yet somehow, she landed a fine marriage, becoming the principal wife of Yang Qian, a newly appointed Presented Scholar. The matchmaker was someone she didn't know: Yang Qian's cousin, the newly appointed top candidate in the palace examinations, Xie Xi, the sixth-generation head of the Xie clan of Dongjun. Xie Xi enjoyed a smooth career, eventually rising to Left Chancellor, Grand Preceptor, and Grand Academician of the Dragon Library. He also supported her family every step of the way. She lived a life of honor and distinction and was even granted the title of Fourth-Rank Lady. If there was one thing that marred her life, it was that Xie Xi's wife, Meng Yiru, always suspected her of having an affair with Xie Xi. She ruined Jing Hui's reputation in the capital and repeatedly tried to kill her. Grateful for Xie Xi's kindness to her, Jing Hui didn't take Meng Yiru to court, despite having irrefutable evidence. Xie Xi sent Meng Yiru to a country estate and had her confined there. But he never expected Meng Yiru to fake her death and return to strike again. In the end, Jing Hui died at Meng Yiru's hands. Xie Xi killed Meng Yiru on the spot. Her life had gone smoothly, yet as she lay dying, she was consumed by questions: Xie Xi clearly had no romantic feelings for her, so why would he kill his wife for her? When she opened her eyes, she was reborn before her marriage, in Meng Yiru's home, drugged with an aphrodisiac and on the verge of being ruined. This time, she resolves to fight Meng Yiru to the death, marry Xie Xi, and uncover the truth about her previous life. She lures Xie Xi over and deliberately lets Meng Yiru catch them in bed, forcing him to give her the title of his wife. On their wedding night, unlike the kindness he had always shown her in her previous life, Xie Xi's eyes are dark red. He roughly yanks off her veil and throws it to the ground, his voice icy: "You have your title. Conduct yourself accordingly." Jing Hui isn't angry. Instead, she lets out a long breath of relief. Within three years, she will uncover the truth and return the title to Xie Xi. Dark, unhinged man VS scheming, heartless woman Theme: A clear conscience fears no accusation.
