After I Died, My Beautiful Wife Went Mad

* Also known as "Love-Brained"

* A groveling-after-the-breakup story, the kind where even the ashes get scattered~ But it has a happy ending.

* Nutcase x mentally ill

1.

Lin Yuwei considered herself utterly ordinary. She was also a lesbian, and in a world where heterosexuality was still the norm, she'd already decided she might as well muddle through life like this in her next life, too.

Then the same-sex marriage law passed, and a relative came to make an introduction:

"Yuwei, I know about your, you know, orientation. So, um... would you like a wife?"

Lin Yuwei went to meet her.

She'd planned to settle for an ordinary life, but the other woman was stunning, alluring, young, and the CEO of a publicly traded corporation.

Her eyes naturally tilted upward, giving her a cool look when she gazed at someone. Look again, and they seemed full of tenderness.

Lin Yuwei fell in love at first sight.

When the woman said, "We can get married," Lin Yuwei felt as if the whole world had opened up to her. Winning tens of millions in the lottery wouldn't compare! No, wait, even winning the lottery probably wouldn't get her more money than the beauty had...

Now, Lin Yuwei and Shen Yanci have been married for three years.

Their married life was loving, too. In the past three years, they'd never once argued. Shen Yanci might have been a little aloof, but that was just how important people carried themselves. The two of them were super compatible in bed!!!

Lin Yuwei wasn't good at her job, but she kept their home in perfect order. She'd even done something bold and outrageous:

She'd had Shen Yanci's name tattooed on her chest.

Every time they made love after that, Shen Yanci could see how sincere she was.

As they moved together, the woman's soft, heated lips kissed her again and again, her gaze tender and deep as she took in their love.

Life couldn't be more! Wonderful!

Until one day, Lin Yuwei heard from someone else that Shen Yanci didn't love her at all. She was only a stand-in for someone else.

Lin Yuwei paused.

"Ha ha ha, you're just jealous that my wife and I are so happy together, so you made that up, right?"

"That's impossible. My wife loves me so much. We've been married for three years, and we've always gotten along. I love my wife, and my wife loves me. There's no third person."

"You're just trying to come between us... Anyway, I have to go home and cook for my wife. She's getting off work soon."

Later...

It seemed the rumors were true.

Later still, word came from someone else that Lin Yuwei, the love-brained fool, was apparently dead.

She was lying in an urn, burned to ashes, completely and utterly dead.

Several days had passed, and she still hadn't been laid to rest.

Her soul was imprisoned here, unable to find peace.

And what about Shen Yanci, CEO Shen?

They say she'd gone mad. She was truly ill. She...
