After My Engagement Was Broken Off, I Married My Sickly Former Brother-in-Law

Also known as: After My Betrothal Was Broken Off, I Married the Big Shot Next Door

Li Xia transmigrated again. This time, she became a hunter's daughter, and, as always, her living conditions were less than welcoming. Her birth mother had died young, her stepmother was scheming, and her father ignored her. She had a childhood sweetheart who was also her fiance: handsome, refined, and gentle, and he had worked hard to become a licentiate. But just as the two were about to marry, her fiance got together with her stepsister.

He coldly broke off their engagement!

Before she could even put on a show of heartbreak, Qin Zheng, the devastatingly handsome man next door, cornered her against a wall and kissed her senseless. When he was done, he stroked her slender neck and said in a husky voice, “Darling, be with me. I'll give you my life.” Later, he really did give her everything and cherished her like a treasure in his palm.

Blurb: Wang Yu fell in love with Gu Li as a young girl. Apart from being the village chief's daughter, she was completely ordinary, with nothing to match Gu Li, who excelled in every way. His eyes never once lingered on her.

This hopeless love drove her mad. When Gu Li was in trouble, she seized the chance to threaten him into marrying her and forced him to sleep with her. Afraid he would go to college and abandon her, she secretly hid his university acceptance letter. Later, she used their son to keep Gu Li tied to her...

Wrong is wrong. A forcibly plucked melon will never taste sweet. Even after she and Gu Li had spent half their lives together, his eyes still never saw her. At the end of her life, she finally came to her senses. She hated herself for ruining Gu Li's life and binding him to her for half a century, and hated herself even more for neglecting their son and treating him as a tool to keep Gu Li...

After a long, dreamlike life, she opened her eyes again and found herself three years after marrying Gu Li. She was lying in bed, groggy with a cold, while her three-year-old son carefully fed her water and called her Mommy in his soft little voice.

Wang Yu hugged her frail son, grateful that she still had a chance to start over.

This time, she would love her son well, stand on her own two feet, divorce Gu Li, and give him a free and carefree life...

But now that she had decided to let go, why was Gu Li clinging to her instead?
