My Husband's Lies

After four years of marriage, A Zhen still couldn't understand how she, a frail woman of common birth, had become the Princess Consort of Prince Yan. Over the years, she and her husband had been a harmonious couple. But the palace's highborn ladies always looked at her strangely. Then, by chance, A Zhen learned about her husband's past. When he was young, Prince Yan Zhao Xun had a love affair that was the talk of the entire court. He had once loved a woman with all his heart. They said she had been married before. The palace forbade their union, so he resolutely gave up his title and wealth to become a poor husband by her side. Unfortunately, the two eventually parted on bad terms. After all their twists and turns, A Zhen ended up marrying him. Fortunately, A Zhen soon came to terms with it. She had known hardship, and was very content with her life now: everything brought to her, meals served, and a husband who didn't chase after other women. [Male Lead's Perspective] To win his wife, Zhao Xun used every means at his disposal and plotted at every turn. At last, he secured four years of sharing a bed and pillow with her. But paper can't hide a fire forever. His wife seemed to have remembered. Remembered her past with another man. Remembered what he had done. . A Zhen hated him, hated the sanctimonious liar in front of her. She hated herself even more for letting a wolf into her home and saving him all those years ago. [Content Warnings] Extremely melodramatic, full of shocking twists; dark and coercive romance. The male lead has no sexual history. The female lead has an ex-husband (her marriage to him ended before she got together with the male lead). Theme: People should be brave enough to escape hardship and persevere.
