After My Ex-Husband Used and Abandoned Me

Lin Wan, the daughter of a merchant, happens upon an injured scholar and saves him.

He is strikingly handsome and refined, with a cool, aloof air. The only pity is that he is blind, and his circumstances are tragic.

Lin Wan takes him in and cares for him devotedly. Despite her father's objections, she even marries him.

After the wedding, her husband treats her with warmth and consideration, always putting her first. Lin Wan is completely content.

She thinks their days will stay happy forever, but one day she receives the devastating news that her husband was pushed off a cliff.

Heartbroken, Lin Wan nearly follows him in death. But just then, she discovers she is pregnant.

While investigating a corruption case, Rong Ce, heir to the Duke of Jingguo, is hunted down and blinded. To stay alive, he has no choice but to conceal his identity, deliberately ingratiate himself with a merchant's daughter, and swallow his pride to become her live-in son-in-law.

Rong Ce has always looked down on Lin Wan. She is lowborn and weak-willed; if circumstances hadn't forced his hand, he wouldn't have spared her a second glance.

Once his injuries heal, Rong Ce leaves without looking back. Merchants care about profit, so he can repay every bit she spent on him a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold.

After returning to the capital, Rong Ce regains his former status. His past with Lin Wan fades like smoke, utterly forgotten from his life.

By chance, he suddenly realizes that the suspect in the case he is investigating has a fiancee who seems to be the very Lin Wan who once insisted she loved only him.

Rong Ce scoffs at the idea. But as Lin Wan's wedding day approaches, he can no longer resist taking her to his side. "Who are you going to marry?"

Faced with the husband who has "returned from the dead," Lin Wan finally understands that everything had been false from beginning to end. His name was false, his words were false, and even when he said he loved her, that too was a lie.

The memories she thought were happy were nothing but a complete and utter deception!

My Husband Is a Hopeless Romantic

Blurb:

Barely a year after her mother died, Cheng Muqi's father eagerly made his concubine his principal wife. From then on, Cheng Muqi had to live under her stepmother's thumb, struggling as a dependent in someone else's home. The childhood engagement became her lifeline, her only way out of that trap.

She grew up following the rules, constantly anxious that something might happen to jeopardize her engagement.

Fortunately, the Duke of Yue's household kept its word. Once she came of age, they sent a matchmaker to set the wedding date.

Only after marrying did Cheng Muqi learn that Yue Huan already loved someone else. He had married her only because of their childhood engagement, missing his chance to be with the woman he loved.

On their wedding night, Yue Huan was distant and cool, warning her not to do anything improper.

Cheng Muqi felt wronged, but said nothing and accepted it all. After their wedding, they treated each other with courtesy, and their days were uneventful but peaceful.

*

Yue Huan, heir to the Duke of Yue, is exceptionally gifted and accomplished. He holds a high-ranking office despite his youth and is the object of affection for countless young noblewomen in the capital. Unfortunately, his early engagement leaves them all sighing in disappointment.

Yue Huan has known since childhood that he has a fiancee, the daughter of his mother's close friend. His mother often said that his aunt had suffered a miserable marriage, and that a wicked couple had tormented her to death while she was still young, leaving behind a daughter with no one to rely on. She often reminded Yue Huan to treat his future wife well.

His mother drilled this into him constantly, and he found it deeply irritating. Still, he never planned to break his word. Then he overheard that his fiancee had been throwing her weight around outside by invoking the Duke of Yue's name. Yue Huan sneered inwardly, convinced she was vain and status-conscious.

After the wedding, Yue Huan sees Cheng Muqi's modest, gentle manners. Every morning and evening, she attends to his grandmother, and she manages the household affairs diligently, never slacking for a moment. He thinks that if she continues to behave properly and stops flaunting her status or chasing vanity, perhaps they can make a life together after all.

It is not until an investigation brings him into contact with his father-in-law that Yue Huan learns what his wife went through in the past. The more he discovers, the more his heart aches for her. Only then does he realize that he has already fallen for her.

But Cheng Muqi wants nothing more than a peaceful life. She is considerate toward him only because he is her husband, not because of who he is. For the first time in his life, Yue Huan tastes defeat.

Little scene:

Yue Huan often complains that his wife does not keep him company. But to maintain his image, he never brings it up in front of Cheng Muqi, and instead takes it out on his personal servant. "Madam hasn't come to see me in three hours."

"Do you think she doesn't love me anymore?"

The servant presses a hand to his forehead helplessly and has to remind him, "Young Master, the young madam went with Madam to pray at the temple today. She's not at home."

The servant thinks his master will be displeased by the truth, but Yue Huan is perfectly satisfied. "So she's not at home. No wonder."

The servant can hardly bear to watch. He wonders if his master is all right.
