Leave Me Alone, Ex-Husband

Original title: Don't Bother Me, Ex-Husband

Ning Xi has been reborn. She thought Heaven had taken pity on her and given her another chance at life, but she never expected that Qin Xuan, Marquis of Dingyuan, the man who had caused her misery and driven her to an early grave in her past life, would be reborn too. He won't leave her alone and insists on marrying her again.

In this life, Ning Xi swears she will never marry him. She says she'd sooner shave her head and become a nun than agree to the match. Qin Xuan corners her against a wall and strokes her long hair. "In this life or the last, you are destined to be mine. Even if you shave your head, the temple won't be able to keep me away."

Ning Xi's uncle and aunt already want her to marry Qin Xuan, and the Ning family is powerless to oppose the Marquis of Dingyuan's household. With another trap closing around her, Ning Xi hears that Prince Chu, a disabled prince with little time left to live, is looking for a bride to bring him good fortune.

The temple can't keep the Marquis of Dingyuan away, but Prince Chu's estate can. Even if Prince Chu dies, Qin Xuan won't dare lay a hand on the widow of a prince.

Ning Xi thinks this is a splendid idea, so she steps forward of her own accord. Nervously, she looks at the handsome man in the wheelchair and asks in a trembling voice, "I am willing to marry the prince and bring him good fortune. Would that be all right?"

Xie Lan has pretended to be ill for years to keep his true circumstances hidden. When he was twenty, he overdid it one day, and his imperial uncle insisted on finding him a bride to bring him good fortune.

He doesn't want to ruin another family's daughter and is about to refuse when the orphaned daughter of the Ning family, who lost her father as a child, comes rushing to him to escape the Marquis of Dingyuan.

On an impulse, Xie Lan agrees, thinking that once Qin Xuan is married and stops coveting her, he can divorce her and let her return home.

But later... he can't get enough of her. He tears up the divorce papers himself and can no longer bear to let her go.

In his past life, Qin Xuan wronged Ning Xi for the sake of his cousin. It wasn't until after she died that he regretted it.

Now that he's been given the chance to start over, the first thing he does is seek out Ning Xi, hoping to make up for the regrets of his past life.

When he learns that Ning Xi has gone to Wuxiang Temple on the outskirts of town to pray for a good marriage, he hurries there. The moment he enters the hall, he hears Ning Xi praying to Buddha: "Buddhas of the heavens above, your faithful servant Ning Xi prays here for Marquis of Dingyuan Qin Xuan..."

A smile spreads across Qin Xuan's face. So she'd fallen deeply in love with him even before they married.

But the next moment, Ning Xi continues: "May Qin Xuan and his cousin be together forever. May the lovers become a married couple and stay together all their lives. Please don't ruin anyone else's life! Especially mine!"

Qin Xuan: "..."
