Snowbound Through the Long Night

[This is the next book I'll start]

Yan Shi was a high-born young lady renowned throughout the imperial capital, with a steady stream of suitors coming to ask for her hand.

Just before the marriage negotiations, disaster struck the Yan family. Overnight, Yan Shi fell into ruin and became the daughter of a convicted official.

The noble young men who had once sought her hand now wanted to take her as a concubine, and everyone waited to laugh at the once-radiant beauty brought low.

But Yan Shi remained dignified and unbowed, and married into the Marquis's household instead.

Only then did everyone remember that, years ago, the Yan family's daughter had been engaged to Xie Qingheng, heir to the Marquis's household.

But that brilliant young heir had been buried in a foreign land at the age of eighteen, and was now long since dead.

Xie Qingheng had made a name for himself as a youth, riding fine horses in splendid clothes, full of confidence and spirit. He had once been the ideal man in the dreams of countless young ladies, only to be ambushed and subjected to unimaginable torment.

He escaped death, clawed his way out of a sinister hell, and returned to the imperial capital under a new identity, swearing to exact his revenge.

However, he never expected that after coming back from the dead, he would somehow find himself with a new bride.

Xie Qingheng: ...?

Yan Shi married Xie Qingheng's spirit tablet to borrow the protection of the Xie family, keep her family safe, and clear her father and elder brother's names.

She never imagined that the dead might one day come back...
