Things had changed, and people were no longer the same. The taut string inside Wen Xique finally snapped.
Four years ago, a dashing young man in fine clothes reined in his horse before her, wearing a roguish grin.
"Miss, I have my eye on you. I’m going to marry you."
Four years later, a battle-hardened general in armor flung a banknote at her face, his expression cold and grim.
"Wen Xique, I’m buying you. You’ll be my concubine."
Wen Xique understood. He resented her and wanted to humiliate her.
But her family’s bookshop had closed, her father was gravely ill, and she had little money. With no other choice, she was carried into the Marquis of Jing’an’s residence in a sedan chair.
She had once sworn she would never become a concubine. Now, for the sake of making a living, she had bent her head and lost her pride.
That night, he was merciless. Through gritted teeth, his words dripped with hatred. "This is the price you pay for abandoning me all those years ago. I’ll never let you go, not for the rest of my life."
The present could never compare to the past. Her heart had grown cold.
She had lost more than her pride. She had also lost the affection she had buried deep in her heart.
**
When Ling Yuheng was young, he gave her everything, only to be abandoned.
Heartbroken and disillusioned, he joined the army and fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
After returning victorious, he vowed to make the woman who had betrayed him pay.
He simply hadn’t expected the price to be so high.
Her heart had turned cold, and he had lost his wife.

Wen Weixia’s father had served as a county magistrate for twenty years. Hoping to secure a promotion, he married her off as the second wife of Du Quru, the Empress’s nephew.
On her wedding night, Wen Weixia sat in a daze until dawn, becoming the laughingstock of the Du family.
After the wedding, she devoted herself to the Du household, but her efforts were worth nothing. Du Quru mocked her, while her parents-in-law were thoroughly disappointed in her.
Her husband’s family disliked her, and her own family had no influence. She struggled at every turn in the Du household.
In her darkest days, only Tan Xunwu came to her like a beam of light, showing her the utmost care and protecting her both openly and in secret.
Later, her father was convicted and dismissed from office. With Tan Xunwu’s support, Wen Weixia presented a divorce agreement and decided to live according to her own wishes for once.
**
Du Quru loved his late wife deeply, but his family forced him to marry a second wife.
What kind of decent woman could a family obsessed with power and influence raise? She wasn’t fit to hold a candle to his late wife.
Wen Weixia had no right to take his wife’s place and enjoy everything that should have belonged to the woman he loved.
He loathed her, yet found himself watching her. Before he knew it, she had begun to affect his heart.
By the time he realized he had developed such complicated feelings, his sworn brother, who had always obeyed him, had already stepped in and stolen her heart.
Du Quru gripped the divorce agreement, rage surging within him.
Divorce? Not a chance!
She was his wife, and she would be until death.
**
When Tan Xunwu went to the Wen family to ask for her hand, one glimpse of her on the covered walkway stirred the still waters of his heart.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t the groom.
That single glance set his desires surging.
He no longer wanted to be like his father, hiding his talents to make the Du family look good and laying down his life to protect them.
He would no longer be Du Quru’s shadow. He would be Wen Weixia’s light.
He used tenderness and thoughtfulness as a wedge, prying apart a marriage that already had cracks in it.
At first, Tan Xunwu only wanted to split them up.
Later, he wanted Du Quru dead.

The Reborn Supporting Female Lead Takes On the Male Lead Who Transmigrated Into a Book
How did the male protagonist fall in love before with this mindset? Didn't two people share their feelings when they were in love before? Does he really think the heroine is this kind of person and why does he love the heroine?
The label is cool and easy to write, but this is not fun or easy for the heroine at all. The end of the copy: She was heartbroken and he lost his wife. So will the ending be be or he?
500 Taels and 600 taels, so the heroine paid an additional 100 taels...
Now that everything is booked, are you eligible for evaluation? The male protagonist is surrounded by a group of bitches, and they are still scolding the female protagonist. Male partner An looked sober before, but turned out to be silent. The male protagonist is also a bitch, an egoistic bitch. He has never apologized sincerely, and has never truly recognized his mistakes. He is always morally kidnapped by the female protagonist and talks about his own needs. The so-called compensation is to stab oneself with a knife, what benefit does it have to the heroine? Destroy it, you bitches, and let the heroine be reborn, forget she has never known the hero.

Domestic violence man, will he do it in the end? What a talent!
Ling became more and more annoying, and so did An. I don't know why I'm still buying this article. Maybe it's because I'm secretly hoping that one day a meteorite will fall and kill the person named An first, and then roll over and crush the person named Ling. The heroine will be happy with the male lead.
When will Ling Gou realize that the disaster he has brought to the heroine and her father far exceeds the charity he thought he was doing?
I can't understand what the heroine said about breaking her pride when she said she wanted to be a wife. This place can be a turning point for breaking the ice. She is separated for the sake of separation.
If you don't have a good mind, you still want to cling to the heroine. He has no words to speak. Can't he tell her that he loves her and wants to marry her? Even if you tell her that you will spend thousands of liang of sedan chairs to marry her?
