After Being Reborn, My Husband Regretted Everything

Zhao Ningchan got her wish and married Shen Lanqing.

She was a noble young princess, blessed by heaven, while Shen Lanqing was merely a lowborn son of a concubine.

No one approved of the marriage.

Shen Lanqing had returned to the Duke of Zhenguo’s estate as the son of a concubine. He was as handsome as jade, aloof and refined, and had a cousin who had always relied on him for company.

Everyone urged Zhao Ningchan to give up. She and Shen Lanqing were not suited for each other.

But she refused to believe them. Shen Lanqing had simply met her too late. From now on, she would be the only one in his eyes, not his cousin.

Until the moment she breathed her last in the dungeon for Shen Lanqing, she looked back on the years they had known each other and realized that even then, it had all been wishful thinking on her part.

She closed her eyes in pain. In that instant, she seemed to see Shen Lanqing’s face twisted with grief.

He was only pretending. How could a man with a heart of stone feel pain?

On the day Shen Lanqing first returned to the Duke of Zhenguo’s estate, he crossed paths with the bright and beautiful young princess Zhao Ningchan.

In the warm spring sunshine, she was as radiant as she had been in her previous life, surrounded by a crowd of people.

Remembering her tragic fate in her previous life, Shen Lanqing calmly turned away, avoiding any chance of meeting her.

He thought that if he did not meet Zhao Ningchan in this life, he could spare her a life free of worries.

But fate played its tricks, and she fell for Shen Lanqing once again. He, however, stayed clearheaded and severed their ill-fated bond from their previous life.

But when he learned that Zhao Ningchan was about to become engaged to someone else, he once again tasted the piercing pain of heartbreak and jealousy.

He had never let her go.

Shen Lanqing used despicable means to marry Zhao Ningchan.

After their wedding, he was considerate and gentle, caring for her with the utmost devotion. Even the love in his eyes seemed genuine.

For a time, Zhao Ningchan was swept up in the sweetness of married life, until one day she fell into the water.

When she woke up, she regained the memories of her previous life.

She could not bear to give her heart all over again to someone as cold and faithless as Shen Lanqing. In her fury, she flung the divorce papers at his face.

That night,

Shen Lanqing tore away his gentle facade and laid his true self bare before her.

He smiled bitterly. “Chan’er, in this life, even if I die and rot to the bone, I will hold on to you tight and never give you the chance to escape.”
