Framed (The Scumbag's Long Road to Winning His Wife Back)

Du Siming was forced to marry the Third Prince, Chu Wenxu.

The reason was simple: there was a woman in Chu Wenxu's manor who had grown up with him as his childhood sweetheart. Rumor had it that she had delicate, boneless hands and breathtaking beauty, and that everyone adored and pitied her.

After Du Siming married into the manor, Chu Wenxu made life difficult for her at every turn, often using schemes and tricks to frame her. He wanted to strip her of her position as his principal wife and put the woman he loved in her place.

Du Siming asked to be released from the marriage and went to practice at a Buddhist temple, enjoying tea and cultivating her body and mind. Who could have known that a crisis would soon befall the Third Prince's household? Chu Wenxu had no choice but to feign madness to survive. Fleeing for his life, he ended up at the temple, where Du Siming rescued him...

She patiently taught him to eat and wash, and took care of his daily needs. He was moved by her. After regaining power, he wanted to bring Du Siming back, but she refused.

Du Siming wasn't willing to forget the past. No matter how much she still loved him, she had resolved never to turn back.

The courtyard before the temple was full of blooming locust flowers. A woman in green stood in front, and the emperor dressed in black asked softly:

"Have you... been well?"

She said nothing, simply watching him with a calm smile, without joy or sorrow.

"I want to take you back."

Her ever-present smile faded. For the first time, she shook her head with such resolve, then turned and went back to the temple's meditation hall.

Chu Wenxu finally understood: he had truly lost her.
