Reborn After My Divorce

[Please add my upcoming novels Second Marriage and Beyond Repair to your reading list!]

Cheng Jinyu died young in her previous life. Before she died, she and her husband of just one year divorced, after they had only just consummated their marriage.

When she opens her eyes again, she's back on the winter night before she fell into an icy pond. This time, Huo Yan is still escorting her back to the capital at her father's request. This time, as soon as she returns, she falls ill and takes to bed.

Cheng Jinyu thinks this life is utterly pointless.

A little rain, and she's feverish that very night.

In a bad mood, and she gets another fever.

Even a little spicy food leaves her restless for half the night.

This frail body seems determined to make trouble without end...

So, overwhelmed with sorrow, an outrageous idea begins to stir in her mind, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't suppress it.

She doesn't want to marry him again, but... she's come up with another plan.

In the middle of the night, all she can think about is how to spend one night of passion with him.

She tries all sorts of ways.

After many twists and turns, Cheng Jinyu finally gets what she wants.

This time, she and Huo Yan become lovers for a night.

No titles, no promises, and no responsibility required.

Blurb for the upcoming novel Second Marriage:

Wen Sang is a young Taoist priest from a temple, raised there since childhood. Her lovely eyes shine brightly at everyone. Her only flaw is that she hardly ever speaks. Even when pushed, all she can manage is a few hesitant words, murmured in a pitiful little voice.

The first time Xie Jinyun sees her, the young Taoist is crouched in a corner, holding a bowl of rice and eating with relish.

The next time he sees her, the chaos of war has just begun. This time, she's a disciple of Jinyun Temple, learning to beg for alms like the other impoverished monks, holding a dirty gourd.

Xie Jinyun wants nothing to do with religious folk, so he sends his attendant to give her two buns and two taels of silver, then leaves.

The third time he sees her, he has just taken a city with five thousand troops. That night, during the celebration of his military victory, a woman is sent to his side.

Her hair is dark as a crow's wing, her skin whiter than snow, and her gaze is innocent and bewildered.

"I have been ordered to serve you, sir."

Xie Jinyun looks at her for a while. The refusal on his lips suddenly dies, and he says instead, "All right."

He recognizes her.

The young Taoist from Jinyun Temple.

From then on, the man who never brought women on campaign has someone lying beside him night after night.

But later, she suddenly remembers everything.

She remembers the two years she spent in the war-torn world.

She tells him that she was once married.

Blurb for the upcoming novel Beyond Repair:

Li Yin is wooden and clumsy, and people often call her a pretty fool, all looks and no brains.

She refuses to accept it. She glares at them angrily and pugnaciously, but her fierce expression soon fades, and her eyes fill with one tear after another.

With red-rimmed eyes, she goes to her widowed sister, who lives in a marquis's household, again and again. Every time, her sister comforts her.

But gradually... she realizes her sister's life is far worse than she'd imagined. Once again, she gets furious and fiercely insists on standing up for her sister! But in the blink of an eye, she becomes a helpless scapegoat, unable even to protect herself.

A predator who has had his eye on her for who knows how long waits for his chance.

She goes to a temple outside the capital and runs into him.

She tries to defend her sister, and runs into him again.

She hides in a room to nap because she can't hold her liquor, and somehow runs into him yet again.

Li Yin thinks he's crude and ill-mannered, but a few days later... a palace rebellion turns the court upside down overnight, and this man becomes the new ruler, about to ascend the throne.

Li Yin is shocked and afraid, but this time, no matter what she tries, he finds one way after another to bring her into the palace.

After several such encounters, Li Yin is full of grievances that she can only swallow. She drags her feet and, with no backbone at all, tries to negotiate about when she can go home.

She's so frightened she's losing weight.

Xiao Zheng says nothing. He stares at her, not even bothering to hide the wildness in his eyes.

.

Xiao Zheng's motto in life is to take a shortcut whenever possible and never do things by the book. Once he sets his sights on something, he never lets go.

But one day, he overhears Li Yin whispering to her sister, "Sister, I'm telling you, I have principles. I won't be with him."

Xiao Zheng: ...

He curses under his breath, his face black with anger.

[If only he'd known this would be so hard to handle, he'd have done things by the book from the start.]

[Well, he's just been too slow to act.]
