Blurb: Abduction and possession + winning back your wife after she leaves
Song Wan thought she and Xiao Jue had agreed to part ways, but she had no idea he had never intended to let her go.
Song Wan transmigrated to ancient times. It took her six years to learn to accept the divide between high and low, noble and common, but she still couldn't accept the young man she truly loved marrying another woman. It didn't matter that the other woman was of exalted status or that he had no choice.
In the twentieth year of Emperor Jing's reign, Song Wan left Xiao Jue behind and chose the most dignified and commendable path available to a princess of the former dynasty: she became a princess sent away to marry, giving herself up to preserve peace and prosperity.
Song Wan thought she would spend the rest of her life far from home. One afternoon, as she was teaching a child to read, the capital's cavalry startled the grazing sheep. Xiao Jue sat atop a tall horse in full armor, staring at her like a hawk. Only then did Song Wan realize just how obstinate an emperor could be, and how terrifying an emperor's wrath was.
One winter morning, heavy snow blanketed every red plum blossom in the palace. The diligent emperor slept in instead of attending court, nestled in Song Wan's silk quilt. As if not yet fully awake, he murmured, "Wan, let's make up and go back to the way we were, all right?"
For a long time, no answer came from the bedchamber, only a faint sigh.
How can a broken mirror ever be made whole again?
Xiao Jue was a madman, consumed by hatred as he stepped into hell, one step at a time, over mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. Fortunately, Song Wan was a ray of light in his life, illuminating his darkness and keeping him from becoming a demon of hell.
But in those days when hatred swallowed him whole, Xiao Jue briefly lost that ray of light.
Later, determined to seize that light again, Xiao Jue kept Song Wan imprisoned at his side. They hurt each other, locked in a fight to the death.
Fortunately, Heaven took pity on him. His beloved relented, and they found their happy ending.
Reader's guide:
1. If you don't want to read about the past, you can start with Volume Two. If you don't want to read the heroine's scenes with the second male lead, you can skip Volume Three.
2. The male lead is a crazy, awful dog of a man. Seriously awful, seriously crazy. He wants both power and beauty.
3. The male lead is a virgin; the female lead is not. Please proceed with caution if this bothers you.
4. The tags include "broken mirror, reunited." Please proceed with caution if that bothers you.
5. To me, readers who spend money are the VIPs. As long as you don't spread rumors or start fights, feel free to share your opinions in the comments.
6. This author doesn't have absolute confidence in her ability to control the story. I'm figuring things out as I go. If the logic falls apart, the characters go off the rails, or the plot gets unbearable, don't hesitate to run.
7. Updates follow the rankings before the novel goes premium; afterward, there will be daily updates, with bonus chapters whenever possible. 60% anti-piracy delay.

Ahhhh, the second male lead seems to be more attractive than the male lead.
The author's wife writes very bloody and wonderful stories, and lovers of bloody literature will like it very much. But I still want to say that in my eyes, this is not really crematorium literature. What I originally thought was a very good joke is because it abuses women too much. The male protagonist has been dancing crazily in my minefield, which made me feel like it was stuck in my throat. Is the male protagonist a crematorium? Maybe, but compared to the various tortures the heroine suffered because of the hero, it's really not a crematorium.
I think the fundamental contradiction in the whole book lies in the huge difference in outlook between ancient men and modern women, but this point has never been developed, and the originally interesting aspects of the protagonist have been smoothed out. It feels like the hero's final concession was just to lower his body to make the heroine happy, but he never tried to understand the heroine's thoughts from beginning to end. From the heroine's reserve when she fell in love at the beginning, to her cautious pursuit of perfection after recognizing the hero's true face, to her final compromise, she never had a chance to properly express her thoughts and ideas. Even if there was an opportunity for good communication during this period, this article might not be what it is now. I actually prefer the relationship between the heroine and the servants compared to the good-guy second-string character. She sincerely treats them as human beings and as companions, which is what fundamentally distinguishes her from ancient people. Without the collision of three views, it really loses a lot of attraction. In fact, it doesn't matter if the heroine compromises. The process of compromise and inner conflict are the most important. However, in the later period, it felt that only the superficial physical and psychological abuse did not go deep, which is quite a pity. I hope the author will work well and have more satisfactory works in the future.
Why do you make the second male lead so miserable, with his wife and children separated, betrayed by everyone, and alone? What is wrong with this?
I always feel that this novel has some shortcomings. The plot feels too bland. There are many plots that are not necessary to write so much. Some expansions that would be attractive are just mentioned in one stroke, which is not very attractive.
Let me tell you a joke: this article is about chasing my wife in the crematorium:)
The logic of the heroine's actions throughout the book is incomprehensible. This is how modern people travel to the past.
It's so sadistic, so sadistic, so sad, the second male lead is a very good person, the male lead... How should I put it, it's all because of this misunderstanding, it's so uncomfortable to watch, mainly because it's so sadistic, but in the end, there was no forced reconciliation, nor was there a complete reunion, which is logical, the female lead will eventually choose the path she wants! The author's writing is quite good! Praise!
I hope the next one won't be so sad? I feel sorry for the heroine
