I Became the Male Lead's Black Moonlight Ex-Wife

Novel Blurb

When she wakes up, Yu Qiu discovers that she has become the cannon-fodder character who shares her name in a period novel.

They say behind every successful man is a woman who quietly supports and helps him. But behind the male lead, Zhou Wenli, there is only the scorn and disgust of his ex-wife, the cold-hearted woman who abandoned him.

When Yu Qiu transmigrates into the story, that woman is deliberately jumping into a river, trying to force a marriage with the male intellectual she has a crush on. But her plan fails, and the male lead ends up rescuing her instead.

After inheriting the mess the woman left behind and somehow marrying the male lead, Yu Qiu decides to put the past behind her and start over with him.

What she never expected was that the male lead had been reborn. He remembers every single one of the cold-hearted woman's infamous stunts from his previous life.

Yu Qiu: ??? The mission just got a whole lot harder. What am I supposed to do?

[The Male Lead's Version]

The president of Hongwen Group, a regular on the Forbes rich list, a darling of the mainstream media, and a favorite target of gossip reporters.

A netizen once posted jokingly: "President Zhou started with nothing and made a name for himself while still young. He can turn the business world upside down with a wave of his hand. He's truly a legend. It's a shame that success in business hasn't brought him luck in love. I guess fate really is fair to the rest of us."

The post immediately shot to the top of the trending topics, and the comments were all over the place.

At a product launch, broadcast live before a room full of powerful figures, a reporter looking for a scoop quoted the post and asked President Zhou what he thought of it.

Under the reporter's persistent questioning, the smile on Zhou Wenli's handsome, refined face gradually faded. He lowered his long lashes and fell silent for a moment, as if remembering something. Then, in a low, calm voice, he replied, "That's true."

His answer set off a storm. The gossip-loving netizens erupted, all tagging the self-proclaimed truth-seeker.

After being reborn, Zhou Wenli never expected to return to the day he rescued Yu Qiu.

It had been a long time since he had seen or even thought about Yu Qiu, the wife he had once loved when he was young.

Yu Qiu did not love him. Not long after they married, Zhou Wenli gradually sensed her attitude. He had always been sensitive and proud. After she rejected and ignored his attempts to show her kindness once or twice, he let go of his feelings and treated her with nothing but mutual respect.

He thought they would live out their lives in that calm, uneventful way. But he never imagined Yu Qiu could be so heartless and resolute. For the sake of taking the college entrance exam and returning to the city, she was willing to damage her health and terminate her pregnancy. Zhou Wenli's heart turned cold toward her. He stopped trying to hold on to her and let her leave.

After being reborn, Zhou Wenli resolves to stay away from Yu Qiu, determined not to repeat the past and end up in a bitter marriage again. But fate seems to be playing a cruel joke: the reborn Yu Qiu is completely different from the woman he knew in his previous life, and after going around in circles, the two of them become entangled once more.
