Reborn as a Mute Wife

[Rebirth romance from the male lead's perspective, doting on his wife] 1. Mingyu had heard all about Ji Rongcheng's reputation. He was the gang leader of the local ruffians, good for nothing but his looks. He spent all day stealing chickens and dogs and causing trouble, and was widely known as a scourge in Ningxing County. So even after sitting on the wedding bed, Mingyu was still uneasy. Then he lifted her veil, revealing a face as handsome as jade, and grinned with a mouthful of white teeth as he called her his darling wife. Mingyu was delighted: Her husband was tall, handsome, and sweet-tongued. How could he be the little punk from the rumors? 2. The Duke of Zhenguo, Ji Rongcheng, spent his life at war and rose to great power. There was nothing he wanted that he couldn't get, and even the emperor had to show him respect. As he lay dying, the only person he could not stop thinking about was his mute wife, who had died young. When he was young and hotheaded, no amount of good advice could save him from his own stupidity, and he made his mute wife suffer plenty. Only after his family was ruined did Ji Rongcheng come to his senses and turn over a new leaf. But by then, Mingyu had fallen ill from overwork, and she passed away just two months after he came into power. She had shared all the hardships with him, but never got to enjoy any of the sweetness. After Mingyu died, Ji Rongcheng lived alone for the rest of his life. He died of grief before he was forty. To his surprise, he was reborn after death, back to one month before his wedding. He was still the little punk who had turned Ningxing upside down, and his Mingyu was still a shy, unmarried young woman. His family tried to reason with him: Mingyu is a good girl, she just can't speak. You mustn't look down on her... Thinking of all the cruel things he'd said in his previous life, Ji Rongcheng slapped himself hard across the face, grabbed the betrothal papers, and ran off to deliver the engagement gifts. The Ji family parents: ??? [Shocked faces] #In our last life, you stood in front of me. In this life, I'll protect you from behind. # #All the sweetness from both our lives is yours. # 1.
