Marrying My Late Husband Again

Born into troubled times, one's life is worth less than grass. Ji Yun was sold to her adoptive parents at seven, and from then on, everyone took turns tormenting her.

That was fate. If she wouldn't accept it, she would have to rely on herself.

She became the most "renowned" courtesan, outmaneuvered her adoptive mother to choose her own path, and married Zhao Ke, the fabulously wealthy Huizhou merchant, in a grand wedding.

Zhao Ke's status was extraordinary. As the woman he cherished, Ji Yun became someone everyone sought to curry favor with. People joked that in Yangzhou, "everyone knows the Madam, but no one knows the magistrate."

But the good days didn't last long. The only person in the world who had ever treated her kindly abandoned her when he died of a serious illness.

So be it. Ji Yun was a flower that had grown from the mud. She could survive anywhere, especially with the enormous fortune Zhao Ke had left her.

Then she discovered...

Was life actually more carefree and enjoyable after her husband died??

**

Zhao Ke had never really been Zhao Ke. Burdened by a blood feud, he had never been free to choose his own path.

The only thing he truly wanted, the only thing he dared indulge in, the only real love in his life, was Ah Yun.

Forced to leave Ah Yun for a time, Zhao Ke tossed and turned with worry. Without me, how can Ah Yun survive in a world full of cruel hardships? Without me, how can she bear the lovesickness that gnaws at her heart?

At last, he couldn't take it any longer. Disguising himself, he approached the person he'd longed for day and night, only to find Ah Yun was indeed troubled: With so many admirers, from Zhao to Qian to Sun to Li, which one should I choose?

Fine. Fine. Fine.

Zhao Ke was so furious he laughed.
