About this novel:

Three thousand scholars admire fine writing, but none compare to Lord Lou's jade-tree bearing.

With his bewitching face, Lou Yan captivated Qin Rongyue for a lifetime. Her family was destroyed, and she burned herself to death in a great fire.

Qin Rongyue is a woman who sticks to her principles. When she loves, she can give up her reputation, her family, even her life.

Now she wants none of it. She can still cut out her heart and tear away her flesh. Even if this is the end, she won't let him hurt her again in the name of love.

Reborn, Qin Rongyue's heart is dead. She plays the kind of woman Lou Yan hates most, all for the sake of divorcing him.

"Lou Yan, if I can't get rid of you, I'll stop being a Qin."

Their encounter in the Qin residence was a promise that had already taken root in the heart.

The fire killed Qin Rongyue, but it also drove Lou Yan's heart to madness.

Reborn, Lou Yan saw through her scheme at a glance and played along, turning it into a play within a play. In a battle of acting skills, Scholar Lou has never lost.

"In my life, there is no divorce, only widowhood."

Scholar Lou spent his life winning in court and losing at home. Some people whispered behind his back that he had lost all dignity.

He was henpecked.

That night, Lou Yan was locked outside the door. He could only smile helplessly.

Could he really not be henpecked?

She was his life!

A note from the author:

There's sweetness and angst.

Both the male and female leads have their flaws.

About The Chancellor's Little Runaway Wife:

Left Chancellor Fu Chengyun grew up in a brothel. He is gloomy by nature and rose to power at court over countless corpses. Everyone in the capital avoids him.

Lin Yu married him of her own free will.

While visiting family in Jiangnan, she wandered into a brothel and saw him in a blazing red robe, descending amid a sky full of falling petals. Imprisoned yet still radiant, he looked back and smiled. She remembered that glance for years.

After they married, Lin Yu carefully tried to please him and did everything she could to warm his heart. After all, not every love is returned.

But in the end, she had given her heart to the wrong man.

One day, in the study, she overheard him speaking with someone.

"Lin Yu loves me. It's only a matter of raising a child. If I ask, she'll agree."

Only then did she learn that Fu Chengyun had a son and needed her to legitimize the child. He had also known about her feelings all along.

To Fu Chengyun, her wholehearted love was simply something convenient to exploit and control. With her feelings trampled so thoroughly, Lin Yu's heart died.

For ten months, she pretended to be devoted, giving the child legitimate status. She honored her feelings for him, then buried their past.

The day she left, it was raining. Alone and bedraggled, she sheltered from the gossip in the rain, careful even in the way she cried.

Fu Chengyun stood among the crowd, clutching their divorce agreement, torn to shreds, and stared fixedly at her.

His attendant asked, "Shall I bring Madam an umbrella?"

Fu Chengyun gave a cold laugh. "Has she asked me for one?"

The Chancellor Fu, who had always planned for every contingency, was wrong this time.

Lin Yu never asked him. Instead, her departure drove him to obsession.

I will part the clouds and see the truth: your love runs deep.

Later, Lin Yu looked at the person standing beneath an umbrella.

"What are you doing here?"

"Begging you."

Theme: No matter how much your heart hurts, someone is waiting for you to start over.
