Reborn as My Ex-Husband's White Moonlight

Wang Yan had always believed that the only reason Xie Xianzhi had finally agreed to marry her was the slight bond they'd shared as children.

Back then, the Wang and Xie families had made a verbal betrothal for their children. The two little ones had been as pretty as dolls, and everyone imagined they'd grow up like any ordinary childhood sweethearts, marry young, and support each other into old age. Later, they did get married, but for Wang Yan, it became a lifelong prison.

After years of marriage, Xie Xianzhi remained aloof and refined, distant and indifferent. There was no trace of affection for her in his eyes.

Wang Yan understood that it had all started with the cup of Entwined Hearts wine she'd brought him.

And she got what she deserved: her father, brothers, and maternal family were thrown into prison. She knelt outside his room for three whole days, only to see him emerge with the courtesan from Chunhua House. In the end, her health was ruined, and she wrote the divorce agreement he wanted, her life nearly snuffed out.

Their childhood bond had ultimately led them to hate one another.

Given another chance, Wang Yan had finally seen the light.

She would talk her parents out of trying to climb the social ladder and persuade them to return home and live as ordinary minor officials.

But the man in front of her had already drunk the wine. His usually cool eyes were flushed with desire as he gazed at her...

What should never have happened still happened. Before the Xie family could find out, Wang Yan endured the soreness, hurriedly packed her things, and asked Madam Xie for permission to leave. Then she took her parents back to a small town to live out their days in peace.

Just as the carriage she was riding in was about to pass through the city gate, a horseman came galloping up and blocked its way.

The man had come in a hurry, his collar slightly disheveled. A gleam of light crossed his stern features. “Where are you going?”

She had thought that this time, too, they would end up going their separate ways. On the final night before the engagement, she placed the marriage contract she'd prepared in front of him, lowered her eyes, and said resolutely, “Xie Xianzhi, let's break off our engagement.”

The man's hand, reaching for hers, stopped abruptly. His eyes even seemed a little red. “I won't allow it.”
