After the Honest Woman Took Me Home

Coming soon: Taken by My Late Husband's Nemesis

★ Hypocritical gentleman, utterly amoral, sinister and unhinged crown prince X softhearted, kind, honest wife who runs away while pregnant

Jiang Zhen went to the fields to bring lunch to her husband. On the way home, she found a man covered in blood. His leg was broken, and he was unconscious from his severe injuries.

There was only one room in the house, so the couple hung a curtain across it to keep the injured man in the outer room while they cared for him.

When her husband went out to work during the day, Jiang Zhen stayed home to look after the wounded man.

With a stranger in the house, it was also difficult for the couple to be intimate.

Whenever she pushed aside the curtain and stepped out at night, she would unexpectedly meet a pair of dark eyes fixed intently on her...

Jiang Zhen was often too embarrassed to face him, and would hide from him as soon as she finished changing his bandages.

Until one night, as she stepped out holding a handkerchief soaked with moisture, a large hand suddenly closed over the back of hers.

The man murmured, “I thought I heard you crying just now, sister-in-law.”

As if he couldn't see her flushed cheeks, he deliberately pressed on: “Why is your handkerchief so wet, sister-in-law? Were you crying that hard?”

.

Pei Yanzhi was the crown prince of the realm. From childhood, no one had been able to challenge his claim to the throne.

There was only one thing this heaven-blessed man could not have.

The woman he loved was another man's wife.

Before meeting Jiang Zhen, Pei Yanzhi had scorned love, thinking it filthy and foul, something to be loathed. After meeting her, every night in that mountain hut, he wanted to tear down the curtain.

Kill her husband with his own hands.

Take his place.

He let himself drown in the immoral sweetness of coveting another man's wife.

Using despicable methods, he interrupted the couple's intimacy again and again.

Until one day, she discovered his secret: he wanted her.

She tried to make him leave.

Pei Yanzhi watched Jiang Zhen nestled tenderly beside the hunter, and a wicked thought stirred in him: If he had to leave, then he would take her with him.

Blurb:

Meng Chun knew her husband had brought a prisoner home and tortured him mercilessly day after day. Unable to bear it, she secretly brought him water and food behind her husband's back, and quietly applied medicine to his wounds.

When the man asked who she was, she concealed her identity and claimed to be a servant in the Xue household.

Later

The man escaped, then returned with an army.

She hid in the shadows and watched as he drove a silver spear through her husband's skull. He cut off the heads of everyone who had once humiliated him and hung them on the city wall. His methods were ruthless, his cruelty extreme!

Meng Chun tried to run, but was discovered. Soldiers dragged her before him.

The man wore cold armor. He lifted her chin with the shaft of his spear, forcing her to look up. Her tear-filled eyes met Shen Zhao's, and his gaze narrowed. “It's you?”

He lowered his spear. “You once helped me. In that case, stay by my side and serve me.”

Meng Chun had saved her life. Day after day, she served Shen Zhao at close quarters, constantly on edge and afraid he would discover she was Xue Sheng's wife and have her skinned alive and fed to the dogs.

But she gradually noticed that Shen Zhao often watched her. His dark, cold eyes rested on her, like a blade hanging over her head.

She could no longer bear the daily torment of living in fear, and seized an opportunity to escape.

.

Shen Zhao was a great general of the realm, a defender of the border who fought the barbarians. Yet after being betrayed by his own relatives, he fell into the hands of the damned Xue dog and was humiliated day after day.

During the three months when he was at his most wretched, a woman who called herself Yun Ling secretly brought him water and food every day and quietly treated his wounds, keeping him alive long enough to escape Xue Sheng.

When he saw Yun Ling again, he kept her by his side as a personal maid to repay her for saving his life.

Later, he thought he might as well take her as a concubine. That would be better than leaving her a mere servant.

But before he could bring it up with Yun Ling, his guard suddenly reported that she had disappeared!

He launched a massive search for her. Only then did he learn that her name was false, and so was her identity. There had never been a servant named Yun Ling in the Xue household!

Later, Shen Zhao heard from someone that Xue Sheng had a former wife who was still alive, with a small red mole at the corner of her eye. Yun Ling had a very similar mole in the same place.

So she was no servant of the Xue household. She was the Xue dog's wife!

She had been lying to him from the very beginning!
