After Her Heart Dies, the Chief Minister Pursues Her Through Hell

New novel: After the Cold-Hearted Heir Falls in Love. Marriage first, love later; a sharp-tongued, secretly soft-hearted hero gets his comeuppance, then chases his wife to the crematorium.

Synopsis

When Shen Shengqing first met Chu Shiyuan, he was dressed in worn-out clothes, his back straight as a green bamboo stalk. The most valuable thing he had was his proud, handsome face.

Even so, Shen Shengqing fell for Chu Shiyuan, and stayed in love with him for years.

She married him when he was at his most destitute, giving him her whole heart. She watched him rise step by step until he became the chief minister.

Yet after years of marriage, Chu Shiyuan remained emotionally distant from her.

Then, when she risked her life to save him, he left her, knowing she had little time left, and returned to the capital to be with another woman.

Looking at the cold-faced man across from her, Shen Shengqing suddenly saw the truth. Had she been a fool to spend years giving her sincere love to a wretched man?

Once she made up her mind, she left the chief minister's residence the next day, taking everything that belonged to her, and decisively submitted the divorce papers bearing her signature to the authorities.

Chu Shiyuan, now a powerful minister, saw the distance in Shen Shengqing's face. For once, his usually composed features showed panic.

Later, everyone saw the high-ranking Chu Shiyuan kneeling before Shen Shengqing, his hands trembling as he begged her to look at him.

. She will leave, and they will divorce.

The hero did not deliberately abandon the heroine in the synopsis; there is a misunderstanding.

The hero has never loved another woman. His heart and body belong only to the heroine, and always will.

Chasing his wife to the crematorium, love rivals everywhere.

The potential pitfalls are in the title and synopsis.

After Marrying the Cold-Hearted Heir: Please add it to your reading list

The heir of the Duke of Wei's mansion was born into a prominent family. Handsome and with a boundless future ahead, he was admired by countless women, but had been betrothed to the Jiang family from a young age.

The eldest daughter of the Jiang family was called the most beautiful woman in the capital, and she and Lord Lu were a perfect match.

Everyone thought the pair, made for each other, would marry without a hitch and make others envious. But the eldest Jiang daughter died unexpectedly while traveling, and Lord Lu eventually married the little-known second daughter of the Jiang family.

Unlike her dazzling elder cousin, Jiang Daiyuan was quiet and reserved, so unobtrusive she was almost invisible. She was inferior to her cousin in every way and unworthy of Lord Lu.

After the wedding, Lord Lu indeed showed no affection for Jiang Daiyuan, and treated her far less warmly than he had treated her cousin.

Jiang Daiyuan knew Lu Yunzheng had married her only because, that day, she had dressed just like her cousin. Still, she was gentle and obedient toward him, agreeing to almost anything he asked.

No one knew that she had fallen for him long ago, back when he and everyone else believed her cousin was the one destined to marry him.

Jiang Daiyuan loved Lu Yunzheng humbly, believing that with enough time, she could claim a small place in his heart.

No one had imagined that her elder cousin would one day return alive.

It turned out that even the most passionate love could wear away and disappear.

.

Everyone could see that Lu Yunzheng did not love his wife, Jiang Daiyuan. He married her only because of the marriage agreement between their families.

In truth, Lu Yunzheng really did not love Jiang Daiyuan. He often crossed her boundaries. Later, when her cousin returned alive, the two families discussed making the cousin his secondary wife. He watched coldly as Jiang Daiyuan endured humiliation and hurt.

He thought she would keep putting up with everything forever, and would never leave him.

He never imagined that the once-gentle woman would one day leave him so decisively.

Jiang Daiyuan never expected that Lu Yunzheng, who had always been cold toward her, would lie awake in anguish and turn red-eyed after she left.

Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

The hero is betrothed to the heroine's family, not to her cousin personally.
