Me, the Tea-Obsessed Male Lead's Ex-Wife (Female-Dominated World)

I am the heir of the Xianyang Prince's household. When I was gravely ill, I dreamed of the future: my husband, Yu Jingci, and my half-sister tangled up in a love affair. By the time they got together, the grass on my grave would already be a man's height.

When I woke from that dream, it was the second day after my wedding. I opened my eyes to see a young man in red wedding clothes lying beside me. He had very fair skin and long, curled eyelashes. He was beautiful, no wonder my half-sister liked him.

My feelings were complicated. I thought of what I'd dreamed. Even though I hadn't known about it, I was ultimately part of the reason it happened.

Yu Jingci looked at me and obediently called me "Wife." I sighed inwardly and reached out to stroke his head. I knew he wasn't as obedient as he seemed, but I also knew how much he'd suffered. He was a pitiable person.

I told him I would protect him.

At first, he didn't believe me. I didn't mind. But later, when he lay in my arms and cried, my heart ached so badly. No one could bully him, not even me.

On the day of his wedding, Yu Jingci died together with Gu Huailing. He never expected to be reborn on the night he had just been married to bring good fortune to his dying bride. That night changed his life. The heir would die the next day, and Gu Huailing would force herself on him. He hated it, but there was nothing he could do.

He didn't know why he had been reborn. Looking at the pale-faced woman, he felt resentment and hatred. He stayed awake all night, waiting for the heir to breathe her last.

Strangely, the heir didn't die. He was exhausted and eventually fell asleep. When he woke, he saw a pair of clear, beautiful eyes. He froze for a moment, then lowered his gaze.

She said she would protect him. He didn't believe her. What a joke, for a dying woman to say she'd protect him.

But later, his eyes gradually began to follow her everywhere. She was radiant. Someone as filthy as him didn't deserve her, but the more he thought so, the less he wanted to let her go.

Bonus scene

His younger half-brother mocked him. Yu Jingci turned around and slapped him, but when he saw Gu Huaijin approaching, he deliberately squeezed out a few tears and looked at her pitifully.

Gu Huaijin had seen everything. She pulled him into her arms. "No one gets to bully my husband."

Yu Jingci, leaning against Gu Huaijin, froze. She'd clearly seen what happened. Why...?

He'd never met anyone like her before. What a strange feeling.
