After Marrying My Ex-Husband's Archenemy

Qi Yutan is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rong's household. Since childhood, she's been the center of attention, spoiled and cherished by all.

What's more, she was born with an otherworldly beauty, and many sons of prominent families adored her.

She was betrothed to the heir of Prince Ning, and they were to marry after the New Year.

Sixteen years of smooth sailing came to an abrupt end the day her fiance's pregnant mistress came knocking at her door.

The mistress was delicate and lovely. She knelt outside the Qi household and wept pitifully for days, forcing the Qi family to take her in.

Her fiance promised never to wrong her again, but before long, he was asking to make his mistress his equal wife.

Heartbroken, Qi Yutan angrily broke off the engagement. Her fiance refused to accept it and even plotted to ruin her reputation.

Stumbling away, she fell into someone else's arms...

When Qi Yutan came to her senses, she discovered that the man she'd spent the night with was Pei Jian, the newly crowned top scholar whose political views clashed with her former fiance's.

Qi Yutan bit her lip and said, "Don't worry. I'll take responsibility for you."

Pei Jian was handsome and aloof. Though born into a poor family, he enjoyed the emperor's deep trust and favor.

Before marrying Qi Yutan, he lived a life of grace and refinement, untouched by worldly concerns, like an immortal who had left the mortal world behind.

After the wedding, he was dragged down to earth, and life became lively indeed.

Outside, his new wife's admirers mocked him and secretly made things difficult for him.

At home, his new wife was alluring and beautiful, and treated him with tender care every day, drawing him deeper and deeper into her spell.

Later, Pei Jian rose to the highest ranks of government and held power over the court. Then his own wife wanted a divorce, saying she'd repaid the debt she owed him from years ago.

Holding the little rice-ball in his arms, Pei Jian chided her affectionately: "Don't be silly. Where do you think you're going, leaving me and our daughter behind?"
