After My Unhinged Ex-Husband Returns

Unhinged powerful minister vs. caged songbird Forceful pursuit + groveling after the breakup New novel: Who's Actually Dating My Nemesis? Now ongoing The day Chang'an fell, wind and snow whipped through the streets. Blood ran nearly everywhere, and everyone lived in fear. Cen Lingxi never thought she would see Wen Che again. Six years ago, as soon as something happened to Wen Che, she tore up their marriage contract with her own hands. Six years later, Wen Che returned to the capital, now a powerful and corrupt minister who held the court in his grip. She hid beneath the covered walkway and watched as Wen Che's men took her husband away. Across the swirling snow, Cen Lingxi and Wen Che stared at each other from afar. The man leaned lazily against his horse, casually wiping his sharp sword as he looked at her through half-lowered eyes. There was nowhere for her to hide. She shrank her shoulders as she watched Wen Che swing down from his horse and approach her step by step through the snow. Then he gripped her chin and raised it. The man smiled faintly, his tone playful. "It's been a long time, Miss Cen." "Let go of me! I, I have a husband!" "You're wearing the hairpin I gave you, and you still want to marry someone else?" * After returning to the capital, Wen Che did two things. First, he had Cen Lingxi's husband thrown into the Ministry of Justice's prison. Second, he schemed at every turn until Cen Lingxi walked into his cage and became his songbird. But whenever he saw her eyes grow damp with hurt, his heart felt as if someone had carved it out. He thought the best way to raise a songbird was to clip its wings, lock it in a cage, and give it the finest food. He didn't realize that doing so would leave her on the verge of suffocating. When the hairpin pressed against her pale neck, he was transported back to that most helpless winter years ago. [Little Scene] When her close friend came to visit, she asked, "Everyone in the capital is saying you're the little bird he keeps in his hand." She touched her painted nails and replied without a care, "I know." "So what are you going to do? He seems... quite taken with you." "I'm just having a little fun. It's hard to say who the real bird is." Naturally, every word of this made its way to Wen Che. The hidden guard nervously waited for his reaction. But the guard never expected that his master, who could turn the court upside down with a wave of his hand, would remain completely unruffled. He simply stamped the corner of the portrait of the young woman on his desk. "She likes to play, so let her. As long as she's happy." [Reading Guide] 1. The heroine is not a virgin, while the hero is. Please proceed with caution if that bothers you. 2. From the heroine's perspective: He, he, he all love me. A bit of a Mary Sue story. 3. Only male rivals competing for the heroine. 4. Important!!! The male lead is crazy throughout, and gets a little unhinged later on. Click with caution if that's not your thing. 5. The heroine will tame the dog and fight back later. She's weak in the early and middle parts. Theme: Respect is where love begins
