Faking My Death and Remarrying, Only to Run Into My Ex-Husband

#Remarrying and Running Into My Ex as the Officiant

(The former couple act out a romance and blow each other's cover, with a possessive, coercive love)

Jianghu assassin Lu Yaorao is beautiful and ruthless. During the peaceful years of her retirement, she took the name Shen Lu and married a doctor.

The doctor was handsome, with skin as white as snow and a face like carved jade, though he couldn't hurt a fly. Apart from being taciturn and having little restraint in certain matters, they got along perfectly.

She soon grew tired of him, too. Just then, a message arrived from her organization. Shen Lu used a great fire as cover and vanished without a trace.

Years later, Shen Lu had almost forgotten what he looked like.

Later, to make things easier, a scion of a noble family was willing to enter a sham marriage with her, as long as they could fool the only elder in his family.

Who would have thought that after playing the virtuous wife and loving mother for several days, she still couldn't get past the elder? Furious, she stormed the prince's residence that night with a knife, ready to have a talk with him.

Shen Lu crept into the room under cover of darkness. Before they could even exchange blows, he had her pinned against the wall. In the dim candlelight, his handsome, pale face came into view. As it happened, this elder was her ex-husband.

The man's gaze was sinister, his voice low and hoarse. "Does he know your hands get cold at night, and that you like to hold someone while you sleep?"

With more than ten years of martial arts training behind her, Shen Lu still couldn't push him away. "..." If you're going to talk, then talk. Don't bite me!

During the years Xi Ce spent undercover, he once met a young woman. He married her without completing the six wedding rites, yet she never complained.

Sadly, she died in that great fire.

Everyone said Xi Ce had gone mad. He not only resigned from his post as Commander, but spent years guarding the ruins and ashes, murmuring one name all day and taking no interest in the world.

Then one year, he saw a young man from his clan bring home a woman. She was gentle and sweet, so much like her.

Xi Ce naturally rejected the marriage proposal. Behind the gauze curtains, his eyes bloodshot, he plotted to take her for himself.
