The Sickly Beauty Hasn't Died Today Either

The first time Wen Ning met Fu Ji, someone had drugged him. His eyes were full of malice, and his exceptionally handsome face was flushed from the effort of restraining himself. He had bitten his palm until it bled.

The second time she met him was after she had been reborn. Hesitating, she approached beneath his cold, sharp gaze and asked softly, "Would you like me to help you?"

She had been reborn, but even now, she only had a few years left to live. So this time, she wanted to find someone she liked the look of, and make sure that even dying would be worthwhile.

Knowing she was doomed to die either way, Wen Ning did as she pleased. In the romance stories, the ideal couple's husband always doted on his little wife, so... Wen Ning learned to play the part to perfection.

When she coughed during an illness the day before, she clung to her husband and tearfully complained that it hurt.

When she heard someone wanted to send a woman to his chambers, tears instantly welled in Wen Ning's eyes. She cried so hard that the person offering the concubine trembled, terrified of making the young lord's sickly wife cry herself to death. Then they stumbled and fled in a panic.

When her time was nearly up, Wen Ning clutched Fu Ji's sleeve, weeping. "I'm going to die."

Fu Ji lowered his eyes. "You won't die."

Later, Wen Ning really didn't die.

She was utterly astonished, and couldn't help feeling that her husband had some remarkable abilities.

Fu Ji: Obviously. I've been working myself to the bone every day to nurse her back to health. How could she die?
