(Also known as: Wait, Ex-Husband)
Xue Yunmiao has two regrets in this life. First, she trusted Xiao Yutang and foolishly loved him for ten years, only to bring ruin to the Xue family.
Second, she poisoned her husband, Xiao Kuangfeng, to death.
She always thought Xiao Kuangfeng had been forced to marry her.
They barely spoke after their wedding. Xiao Kuangfeng was cold and gloomy, and always smelled of blood. She was terrified of him and wished she could stay far away.
So when her father was later framed for corruption, she believed Xiao Yutang and thought Xiao Kuangfeng was the culprit.
But it never occurred to her that the man she had always loved was the true mastermind behind the Xue family's downfall.
In one moment, Xue Yunmiao is reborn, returning to the time before her wedding.
Two matchmakers from the Xiao family arrive at the same time, saying that both of their sons, Xiao Kuangfeng and Xiao Yutang, wish to marry her.
Everyone in the capital is certain she will choose the handsome and refined Xiao Yutang. How could she possibly choose the infamous Second Master Xiao?
But the young lady of the Xue family walks up to Xiao Kuangfeng and gazes at his deep, stern face.
"In this life, Yunmiao will marry no one but Second Master Xiao."
*
Xiao Kuangfeng was born with a pair of ugly, mismatched eyes. Everyone shunned him, and even his family despised him.
Just as he is about to take his own life, a little girl takes his hand. Her eyes are bright and round. "Big brother, your eyes are so beautiful."
Only then does Xiao Kuangfeng learn that even someone like him can be loved. He starts training hard with his sword every day, determined to earn great merit so he can ask the Xue family for her hand one day.
But then he learns that Xue Yunmiao has already given her heart to someone: his elder brother, Xiao Yutang.
Even so, Xiao Kuangfeng is determined to marry her, even if she hates him for the rest of her life. He doesn't care if she fears him forever, either.
He has always been the villain. This time won't make a difference.
But then come treacherous shoals, hidden reefs, and brushes with death.
Every time he thinks Xue Yunmiao will abandon him, she risks everything to stay by his side, holding his hand tightly and telling him,
"My husband, don't be afraid."

Upcoming ancient-style romance: When the Plums Turn Green
[The North Garrison Division chief who kills people and ghosts x A beauty who is very good at fake smiling]
Wei Heng, head of the Wei family, is the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and oversees the North Garrison Division. He is the emperor's most trusted confidant. Officials in the capital tremble at the mere mention of his name.
They say he loves to play a fiddle wrapped in human skin at night, and that his room is filled with torture devices. He has a stunning face, but a heart as black as a snake's. Even ghosts and gods are kinder than he is.
After he is ambushed and unexpectedly blinded, a Miaojiang shaman tells him that the only way to avert disaster is to marry the youngest daughter of the Jiang family.
When Jiang Qingmei hears the news, she's terrified. That very night, she plans to run away with the man she loves. But the scholar is cold and faithless: he betrays her for the sake of his own future and has her forcibly sent straight to the bridal sedan.
On their wedding night, the candles shine brightly. The Commander's wedding robes are soaked in blood, and his eyes are covered with a strip of red cloth. She trembles with fear and forces out a fake smile. "M-My lord..."
He gives a short, mocking laugh.
Her face turns ashen. She's sure she's as good as dead.
Everyone else also wonders how long the youngest Jiang daughter will survive in the Wei household. A few days at most, half a year at the longest, before she can't take it anymore and kills herself.
Until one day, when she's on the brink of death from a parasitic poison.
Her mind blurs under the pain as the girl grabs the Commander's black hair with all her strength. His subordinates watch in terror, not daring even to breathe. But then the young man's hand, stained with the blood of countless people, gently strokes her cheek.
"There, there. It won't hurt soon."
Wei Heng's first impression of Jiang Qingmei: She's crazy.
She asks him for poison to keep herself alive, and though she always curses him behind his back, she follows him around all day wearing a fake smile and calling him "my lord." He finds her tiresome and ridiculous, and doesn't hesitate to call her stupid. Yet she's so optimistic that even after she cries herself to sleep that night in terror, she can still hug her pillow and sleep soundly. This only makes him more annoyed. Since this marriage is only a sham, he sets three rules: Once everything is done, he'll set her free, and they'll never see each other again.
She agrees readily, obediently signs the contract, and acts like a proper wife without ever clinging to him.
Later, when the contract is about to expire, she asks cautiously, "My lord, does that mean... you can let me go now?"
Wei Heng suddenly falls silent.
He calmly gazes at her lovely face, then smiles with eerie charm. "Of course."
[In Miaojiang, there is a Bonded Gu. The paired parasites share life and death and cannot be separated.]
[At every full moon, the pair must join together, or the parasites will attack their Host's internal organs, leaving them worse than dead.]
One full moon, the girl trembles in his arms.
Wei Heng narrows his eyes in delight and strokes her hair again and again.
"There, there. It won't hurt soon."
Reader's guide:
1. Both leads are each other's first love; happy ending; marriage first, love later.
2. The heroine is a chuunibyou girl obsessed with martial-arts stories. The hero is a domineering, ruthless man who kills people and ghosts alike, with no moral compass to speak of. P.S. He has been pretending to be blind the whole time.
3. The setting is extremely fictional, with a great many original details.
Core theme: One day, the first spark will be seen
Just, okay. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is almost too strong, and many of the actions of the second male lead are a bit inexplicable when viewed alone. The entire article is readable. Big cheers.
I felt so good after chasing it all night long 😭 😭 The wife's sense of redemption was really well written 😭 😭 😭
Oops, Xue Run and Ning Jiao have straight mouths and straight bodies, right? Hehehehe: D
Ning Jiao is a tsundere babywwwwww
Continuing article: "Plum Blossom Season", published at the end of April It is still the old saying, marry first, love later, the daily life of fake marriage between the bully in Jinyiwei and the beauty in middle school.
At this time, the male protagonist should overhear [Spread flowers]
