The Aloof Beauty Was Reborn After Their Divorce

This has been completed and is fully available. Don't start reading if you don't want to get hooked.

Chu He was a concubine-born daughter of unknown origins,

so her beauty became a weapon used to hurt her.

Her stern, unsmiling elder brother and her unhinged, licentious second brother looked at her with anything but innocent intentions.

She knew her status was low and even her life was in danger,

so she turned her attention to Cui Jiancong, who had just joined the household.

He was as clear and bright as a fresh breeze beneath a moonlit sky. Though frail, he was learned and would rise smoothly through the ranks one day.

But when she stood beside him, all she got in return was a stare colder than the depths of winter.

Even so, she eventually managed to get her way through a scheme, winning one night of passion and an unwilling marriage.

Everyone later said that Grand Academician Cui's wife was a nobody from the countryside, a concubine-born commoner who couldn't compare to the noble young ladies of the capital in any way.

At last, one day, the wife was thrown out for taking contraceptive medicine all along. Everyone thought it was thoroughly satisfying.

But then, in the blink of an eye, that discarded wife turned out to be the Second Prince's long-lost daughter.

Everyone looked from one person to another, regretting their loose tongues. Then they turned around and greeted Chu He with smiles.

But no one noticed the person standing behind the crowd, looking heartbroken at the scene, until he threw up blood.

Cui Jiancong had lived two lifetimes with a clear and unblemished reputation.

In his previous life, he had done everything right, except protect the girl who had turned back and smiled at him beneath the tree.

Chu He's charred face appeared in his dreams every day.

When he opened his eyes again, the good news was that Chu He had become his wife. The bad news was that they had divorced just two days earlier.

Cui Jiancong hid behind the crowd and saw her smiling brightly, just as she had back then.

His breath caught, and his heart throbbed with pain.

The regret he'd spent his life trying to make up for had truly been given another chance.

So this time,

don't leave me again.
