My Husband, the Traitor

Dual Rebirth: [Sharp-Tongued, Proud, Rational Childhood Friend Who Has No Interest in Love x Deep-Plotting Childhood Friend Who Loves His Wife Above All]

One day, the model couple, childhood sweethearts who had been happily married for just over a year, suddenly began talking about divorce.

He Lingyuan couldn't understand why Jiang Nong's personality had changed so drastically, or why she suddenly wanted a divorce.

Was it because he'd hurt her again last night?

Or had he upset her by wanting too much?

He tried every possible explanation, but Jiang Nong denied them all.

She kept her mouth shut, only gritting her teeth and insisting on a divorce!

He Lingyuan was furious and frustrated, yet helpless to do anything about it.

The tenderness and intimacy they'd once shared were gone. Whenever they met, they spoke of nothing but divorce.

He Lingyuan cried and argued, but refused to give in.

Jiang Nong was stubborn, cold-hearted, and set on escaping.

*

Later, after He Lingyuan fell from his horse that day, his personality changed too.

Jiang Nong knew that this version of him was willing to divorce her.

The bloodshed and suffering of her previous life would never happen again. Her parents, brothers, and friends would all live safe and well.

The Jiang family would not be destroyed because He Lingyuan took the path of a treacherous rebel, and innocent people would not be dragged into the slaughter.

But fate was unpredictable. Jiang Nong, who had been childless in her previous life, discovered she was pregnant after their divorce...

*

After learning that Jiang Nong was about to marry his friend Wen Yu, He Lingyuan, who had readily let her go, began to lose his mind again, then broke down crying...

He regretted it. How could he ever have wanted to divorce Jiang Nong?

It was only because the end of their previous life had been so tragic. Though he had returned to the past with the advantage of knowing what was coming, he was still afraid of ending up the loser.

Sending her to the northern frontier would both free him of worries and attachments, and let him enter the trap of his previous life alone, without holding back.

He had long planned to win Jiang Nong back once everything was over.

But no matter how much He Lingyuan raged and wept, Jiang Nong remained unmoved.

*

On the night of the first snowfall, on the eve of her engagement to Wen Yu, He Lingyuan slipped into the Jiang residence and saw her slightly rounded belly.

Jiang Nong coldly told him to leave. As the first snow fell, the battered He Lingyuan fell apart completely...

His neck was covered in blood. He sank to one knee before Jiang Nong and asked in a broken voice, "What am I supposed to do, then?"

The man had been crying again. The corners of his eyes were red, nearly as vivid as the blood on his neck.

Jiang Nong felt a pang of pity, but all she said softly was, "You'll be all right."

Coming soon: "Transmigrated into a Book, I Have to Take On Four Men to Survive." Synopsis:

In the book, Le Zhengli is a character destined to die.

The System tells her she has three chances to change her fate.

System: "The brooding, possessive emperor; the wild, untamed wolfkin; the proud, exotic young lord; and the aloof, otherworldly Imperial Preceptor. One of them will kill you, and one can save you. Host, choose carefully."

Le Zhengli refused to believe it the first two times. When she was down to her final chance, she finally understood.

Perhaps she had to try a different approach to find a way to survive.

If she couldn't save herself, then she'd forge the people who could save her into blades and turn them against the ones who wanted her dead.

*

Le Zhengli exhausted her wits and strength, maneuvering among the four until she finally won the protection of all four.

Their love was steadfast and true. They were willing to bow before her and devote all their affection to this woman.

The emperor was cold and shadowed. A curse had made his nature bloom into a pair of intertwined flowers, and no one could get close to him. Only before Le Zhengli did he put away his madness and soften his gaze, quietly asking her for a sweet-and-tart orange candy.

The wolfkin were fierce. Shackled by the humans and branded as slaves, he pressed his sharp fangs to the woman's delicate neck. There was no blood, only his question: "Will you come back and have dinner with me?"

The young lord was cunning, his sharpness concealed beneath unfathomable schemes. One wrong choice had cost the woman he loved her life. When the woman he had cherished from afar fell into his arms, he curled his lips. "This is my betrothal gift to you."

The Imperial Preceptor was lonely. Her arrival was the sole salvation in his long, withered life. Imprisoned for so long, he followed the stars, believing she could bring everything to an end. Little did he know that she was the one who could truly imprison him.

With countless schemes and careful plans, Le Zhengli thought everything was under control.

*

As the deadly trap was broken, Le Zhengli let herself relax.

But now that the plan had succeeded, her heart was hard as iron. She was determined to make the four men fight and eliminate every threat.

Yet fate was unpredictable. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Le Zhengli survived the day of the New Year's banquet, only to die at the dawn of Changying.

The forbidden formation opened. The person who made the sacrifice bled out, and the imprisoned vengeful spirits burst through the seal, unleashing a bloody storm across the capital.

They had schemed and struggled, yet the fated ending still could not be escaped.

The emperor died, the wolfkin's heart was torn out, the young lord was broken, and the Imperial Preceptor sacrificed himself. Le Zhengli returned to the past.

#The violent became gentle, the mad became clear-headed, the aloof became passionate, and the scheming became pure-hearted.#
