After Marrying the Male Lead of a Male-Oriented Novel

After a car accident, Shen Yaoguang found herself in the body of a sixteen-year-old girl awaiting marriage in the family of a wealthy landowner in ancient times.

The male lead, a domineering hero destined to become emperor, was Qin Yun, a scholar whom her father had taken a liking to. He was due to marry her in a month.

Qin Yun was handsome and had a bright future, but he would rebel a year later.

She just wanted to live a peaceful life and lie flat. How could she marry a future emperor who was bound to rebel and would eventually have a harem full of concubines?

To make matters worse, she was merely a disposable wife in the story, mentioned in passing. She would "die of illness" before Qin Yun ascended the throne, clearing the way for his other love interests. But her father had set his heart on this son-in-law, leaving her no room to resist.

On their wedding night, before her veil had even been lifted, Shen Yaoguang said to Qin Yun, "I know you're only marrying me because of my father. Once the fuss dies down, let's get a divorce."

A month passed, and they hadn't divorced. Two months, still no divorce.

In the third month, Shen Yaoguang couldn't take it anymore. "We should get a divorce, shouldn't we?"

Qin Yun's lips curled into a slight smile. "What are you saying, my dear? We're newlyweds. Your husband can't bear to hear the word divorce."

Pah, you bastard.

With the male lead's first love interest about to appear, Shen Yaoguang couldn't wait any longer. She took the travel money she'd prepared long ago and ran away.

She lived peacefully outside the city for over half a year and fell for the young man next door.

Just as they were about to discuss marriage, Qin Yun's army arrived at the city gates and occupied the place.

Shen Yaoguang and her neighbor disguised themselves and tried to leave, but Qin Yun caught her with his own hands beneath the city gate.

Qin Yun lowered his cold eyes, his expression half-smiling. His voice held a smile, yet somehow sent a chill down her spine. "My dear, where do you plan to run off to now?"
