Reborn After My Husband and I Got a Bad Ending

When Li Xunying took her betrothal agreement to the Pei residence, the Pei family gave her two choices. First, she could break off the engagement and take the large chest of silver before her. If necessary, the Pei family's influence would protect her.

Second, she could honor the engagement and let Pei Yiyan marry her.

Full of hope, Li Xunying chose the second option. In her heart, Pei Yiyan was a gentleman of impeccable character, a distinguished young man who had treated her with tender care when they were children, and the person she had loved for so long.

But she had ignored the fact that Pei Yiyan was no longer the person she had known as a child. She had used their engagement to force him to marry a fallen family's daughter like her, so naturally he resented her. If not for her, he could have had a marriage with a woman he loved, from a family of equal standing. His wife should not have been a woman like her, so out of place in the capital.

Li Xunying was cautious and self-effacing, trying her best to be the wife Pei Yiyan expected. Yet after years of marriage, their relationship remained distant.

Later, despite her injured body, she still remembered to show concern for him after he had spent days buried in official duties. But she heard him coldly judge her: "Narrow-minded and unfit for proper company."

Li Xunying felt as though she had fallen into an icy abyss and collapsed in the street in utter disgrace.

By chance, Li Xunying was reborn on the day she had taken her betrothal agreement to the Pei residence. She regretted her choice and no longer wanted to marry Pei Yiyan.

Under the astonished gazes of the Pei family, this time she chose the first option. With so much silver, surely she could find herself a considerate husband who would care for her in the future?

.

Pei Yiyan was handsome and accomplished at a young age. He had once been the ideal husband in countless women's hearts. It was a shame that he married Li Xunying, an unremarkable woman who could not hold her own in refined society, leaving countless women heartbroken.

Pei Yiyan truly was not very satisfied with Li Xunying as his wife. Fortunately, she was reasonably gentle and obedient in his presence. After being reborn, he had no intention of finding another wife. He thought that, just as in his previous life, Li Xunying would still choose to marry him.

But then he watched as Li Xunying accepted the Pei family's terms for breaking off the engagement without hesitation. She calmly left the Pei residence and never once looked at him.

A face-slapping tale of eating one's words and chasing one's wife to the crematorium.

Wei Hengjin was born into a prominent family and had a boundless future ahead of him. Through a twist of fate, he ended up alone in a room with Jiang Jinyan, the daughter of a minor official.

Afterward, Wei Hengjin was forced to marry Jiang Jinyan, whose family was of modest standing.

Everyone said Jiang Jinyan was lucky to have married above her station by marrying Wei Hengjin. Countless people waited to see her make a fool of herself. Wei Hengjin had been meant to marry the Du family's young lady, a perfect match for him. How could Jiang Jinyan compare?

Jiang Jinyan knew Wei Hengjin had married her out of a sense of responsibility. Faced with his cool detachment, she dutifully played the role of Mrs. Wei.

Wasn't she only marrying him because she had no choice?

.

Wei Hengjin had been set up and forced to marry Jiang Jinyan, so naturally he resented her.

Fortunately, his wife was obedient and sensible. Even when she was "bullied," she neither cried nor complained. At first, he had stepped in to protect her out of a moment's sympathy. Later, seeing how vulnerable she seemed, he grew fond of her.

He believed that such a "fragile" wife must depend on him and be grateful to him.

Until one day, he saw her being mocked. She marched up and slapped the other person.

The woman's carefree voice rang out:

"Wei Hengjin is so boring. Only a woman with terrible judgment like you would like him."

Only later did Wei Hengjin learn that Jiang Jinyan had once wanted to marry someone else. If not for that accident, she would already be another man's wife.

One-on-one romance.

Marriage first, love later. A face-slapping tale of eating one's words.

In her previous life, after her family fell into decline, Lin Sangyao was forced to become Lin Wenyu's plaything. He toyed with her as he pleased, stripping her of all the dignity befitting a noblewoman. In the end, she died a terrible death.

After an unexpected rebirth, Lin Sangyao was once again a noblewoman doted on by all and admired by countless talented young men.

At this time, Lin Wenyu, her nominal older brother in her previous life, was still a concubine-born son of the marquis. His birth mother was dead, his father disliked him, and everyone bullied and looked down on him. Even the servants felt free to kick him around.

No one could have imagined that he was actually a member of the imperial family, lost to the world.

After being reborn, Lin Sangyao thought of Lin Wenyu, who was now her nominal older brother. She grabbed a stick and stormed angrily toward his room.

But there, in the courtyard, stood a handsome man in tattered clothes, his wounds bloodied and exposed.

Sensing her presence, he turned his deep, shadowed gaze toward her.

Lin Sangyao's heart tightened. She instinctively hid the stick behind her and called out in a trembling voice, "Brother..."

She did not notice the man's gaze grow darker and more inscrutable, filled with possessive desire.

.

At the darkest point in Lin Wenyu's life, Lin Sangyao barged unexpectedly into his world. She would look at him with a clumsy mixture of fear and loathing, yet still shield him behind her slight frame.

She made him swear that he would repay her someday, that no matter what happened, he would treat her well and never bully her. Lin Wenyu obediently played the part of a gentle older brother.

Later, when his true identity was revealed to the world, she remained a noblewoman adored by all, even more dazzling than before, her fate nothing like the tragic one she had suffered in her previous life.

One day, she smiled and confided in him about a young woman's thoughts. "There's someone I like. I'm getting married soon."

Lin Wenyu, who had always been gentle, suddenly changed expression. He pinned her between himself and the wall, his eyes dark with possessiveness. "Tell me, Sangyao. Who is it you like? And who is it you want to marry?"

The male and female leads are not related by blood, and both know they are not siblings.

The romance begins only after they sever their familial relationship.
