My Fake Husband Is My Ex's Uncle

Xie Yutang had poor eyesight from a young age. Even after growing into a breathtaking beauty, she still had no luck finding a husband.

Then the fourth son of the prestigious Jiangbei Pei family suddenly proposed, and her elders hurriedly agreed.

On their wedding night, her husband was unusually cold and left in a hurry before they had even consummated the marriage.

Xie Yutang's heart, full of anticipation, turned to ashes.

A few days later, her husband went to the capital to take up an appointment, and Xie Yutang followed him there.

Fortunately, once they reached the capital, her husband changed completely. He became more and more gentle and attentive, with nothing to fault except that he was always far too rough with her at night.

But whenever she brought up treating her eye condition, her usually considerate husband would make excuses and put it off.

Xie Yutang grieved in secret, only to hear that the fourth son of the Pei family had never left home and wasn't in the capital at all.

Then... who was the gentle husband sharing her bed night after night?

*

While her husband was away in the south on official business, Xie Yutang sought treatment for her illness and regained her sight.

That night, she sat obediently on the bed, anxiously waiting for her husband to return home.

But the tall figure lifting the gauze curtain was none other than the fourth son of the Pei family's uncle.

Xie Yutang panicked and turned to run.

The man's long, clearly knuckled fingers clasped her slender hand, a smile playing at his lips.

His familiar, deep voice sounded by her ear:

“Jiaojiao, why are you panicking when you see your husband?”

The youngest son of the Pei family, Pei Yanzhou, was as beautiful as jade and orchid, and scrupulous in his conduct.

When his nephew disappeared on his wedding day, Pei Yanzhou followed his elders' orders and stood in for him during the wedding rites.

Who could have known that the bride's eye condition would worsen, and his elders would order him to deliver divorce papers to her?

The delicate girl in pink gazed at him with bewildered eyes, trembling as she tugged at his sleeve and softly called him “husband,” terrified he would leave her again.

Pei Yanzhou crumpled the divorce papers in his hand.

From that moment, a flawless jade acquired a flaw, and infatuation became a sin.

After his wife died, the fourth son of the Pei family never remarried, devoting himself entirely to his studies.

Before long, he went to the capital to seek refuge with his powerful uncle.

His usually dignified, restrained uncle held a beauty in his arms, gently coaxing her to take her medicine, his eyes full of tenderness.

The fourth son stood dumbstruck as he heard his uncle call him forward:

“Come over and greet your aunt.”

#After I was divorced, I had no idea I'd married my ex's uncle

#The scoundrel tricked me into marriage, then embarked on a long road to win me back

Content warnings:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending.

2. Keeping a beauty hidden away, marriage before love, taking by force, uncle steals nephew's wife, physical and emotional abuse, long pursuit to win her back.

3. The heroine has no relationship with the nephew, but he has a secret crush on her. The nephew is a tragic scapegoat.

4. The hero waits until the heroine has divorced before marrying her. They are legally married, but that doesn't change the fact that he deceived her into marriage.

5. The hero is a real scoundrel, an absolute scoundrel. If you meet someone like him in real life, run.

6. The heroine's eye condition has nothing to do with the hero. Before marrying, she had never heard the nephew or the hero speak, so she couldn't tell their voices apart.

7. The heroine and hero are five years apart in age. The hero and his nephew are one year apart.
