After I Was Ordered to Marry My Mortal Enemy [Reborn]

[Friday, September 8, VIP chapter] The entire novel has been thoroughly edited and revised multiple times. This is the only official edition on Jinjiang. When Wei Jinyu opened his eyes, he had been reborn on the day of his wedding to Xie Lang. The Wei and Xie families had a long-standing feud. The marriage alliance between Xie Lang and the Wei family had been forced upon him while he was at a disadvantage, with the Wei family using its power to coerce him. In his previous life, Wei Jinyu spent five full years alone in an empty room, without even seeing Xie Lang once. He watched him expand his territory, conquer the heroes of the four corners, and ascend to the highest seat of power. To take revenge, Xie Lang made him empress. He went through the coronation ceremony alone, and completed the wedding wine ritual alone. Xie Lang never set foot in his chambers, not once. Everyone in the palace knew the new emperor loathed the Wei family's son and would have loved to skin him alive and eat his flesh. Wei Jinyu was in poor health, and eventually died of illness on a gloomy, rainy autumn day. Reborn, Wei Jinyu was still a noble young master of a prestigious family. Xie Lang had yet to become the murderous demon of the capital, the one everyone trembled to even mention. Having seen the truth ahead of time, Wei Jinyu wasn't worried. He simply waited for Xie Lang to abandon him on their wedding night, just as he had in his previous life, and flee back to the northern frontier. But the man he had never once met in his previous life appeared in the bridal chamber without warning. Fixing him with sharp eyes, he put on the manner of a dissolute young master. “We haven't even drunk the wedding wine, yet you turned in so early, my dear. Are you dissatisfied with your husband?” ** Xie Lang had never been happy about the marriage alliance with the Wei family. The bridal candles burned and the wedding curtains swayed. When he saw the aloof, indifferent brows and eyes of the person across from him, his displeasure was joined by a fresh wave of frustration. He was the one getting the short end of the stick in this marriage. So why was the other one already putting on airs? ** The two were young newlyweds who harbored hostility toward each other. Sharing a bed every night, they inevitably had all kinds of friction. To climb higher, they had no choice but to set their old grudges aside for the time being and embark on a cutthroat path to success. They agreed to divorce within six months at the latest. Six months stretched to a year, and a year stretched to two. As their third year together approached, Xie Lang could no longer take it. “We've already slept together. How about we make peace?” Wei Jinyu: “Dream on.” Xie Lang: QAQ Later, when both of them had risen to the highest positions in the court, Xie Lang, drenched in blood and kneeling on the ground, held out his hand and said, “Jinyu, come with me, all right?” The other man looked at him coldly and mercilessly, then cut through the shackles on his wrist with a slash of his blade. “Xie Weishen, from today onward, we owe each other nothing. This is the end of us.” “Come with you? Keep dreaming.” Xie Lang: “...” Xie Lang had always thought himself a man who paid back every slight. Only after a row of bloody bite marks appeared on his shoulder did he realize that the seemingly delicate person in his arms was the one who held the strongest grudges. What Xie Lang didn't know was that in his previous life, he had died pierced by ten thousand arrows, choosing the most agonizing death in the world for the sake of a faint, intangible hope. “You are the heartbeat that never stopped in my past life.”, A Thousand Years Both reborn. They marry first, then fall in love. The top gradually regains his memories. The rebirth plot begins in Chapter Two. A sharp-tongued king? Blind in his past life? A top who cherishes his spouse to the bone in this life & an elegant beauty? A slacker in his past life? A noble young master on a career-focused, revenge-driven path in this life. The bottom is obsessed with his career. The harder the top's heart in the beginning, the harder he'll have to work to win his spouse back later. Both are sexually inexperienced. They have only ever been with each other, emotionally and physically. The top has no one else he loves, in either his past or present life. A sweet-and-sour little romance. As always, there's no particularly deep political intrigue, with plenty of daily life. P.S. This is a fairly long novel, and everyone has different tastes. If you find it's not for you partway through, make sure to stop reading in time.
