My Monster Ex-Wife Won't Leave Me Alone

Fake stepmother fiction | Real unhinged widow fiction

Shen Su was missing a stretch of her memory.

No matter how hard she tried to recall it, all she could conclude was that she seemed to have amnesia. More troubling still, strange things kept happening after she lost her memory. Even her formerly cold "father" suddenly showed her concern and brought home a breathtakingly beautiful stepmother.

Her stepmother was named Wei Nanyi. She was so delicate that she reminded Shen Su of the piece of jade porcelain she had long cherished in her hands. The slightest pressure could shatter her between her fingers.

Her "father" was exceptionally warm toward her, and her stepmother treated her with particular tenderness. But Shen Su soon realized that they were impostors, and possibly not even human.

Shen Su wanted to see how long this fake couple would keep up their act. But one night, Wei Nanyi caught a monster that had tried to eat Shen Su with one hand. She led Shen Su in tearing the human skin off her fake dad, then gently drew her into her arms. "Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."

By a twist of fate, Shen Su went home with Wei Nanyi and learned who she really was.

Wei Nanyi was a superpowered person, but not like the others. Her body could transform into all kinds of beasts. When transformed, she seemed more like a monster. Wei Nanyi also suffered from a severe case of skin hunger, and at night she would disguise herself as different little animals, waiting for Shen Su to pet her.

Shen Su guessed that Wei Nanyi was looking for medicine to cure her illness, but Wei Nanyi seemed to act this way only around her. She was always cold toward other people and utterly ruthless toward monsters, nothing like the soft, clingy woman nestled in Shen Su's arms.

After their repeated encounters, Shen Su felt that Wei Nanyi liked her. It couldn't be her imagination. The favoritism was so blatant that nearly everyone could see it. But sometimes Shen Su also felt that Wei Nanyi was looking past her, at the shadow of someone else.

Whatever the reason, Wei Nanyi showed her that someone really could mend her wounds, little by little.

It was hard not to fall for Wei Nanyi. Shen Su was even willing to be a substitute.

Shen Su asked earnestly, "You want to be cured, and I want to be loved. How about you love me, and I'll cure you?"

Wei Nanyi clutched her hand and, without warning, bit the tip of her finger. "Xiao Su, I'll do anything for you. Tell me, how should I love you so you'll feel that I love you?"

[Extra scene]

Shen Su was ill.

She often suspected that her new wife did not love her enough, and she had evidence to prove it.

Lately, a woman often appeared in her dreams. Shen Su took this as a betrayal of Wei Nanyi.

But Wei Nanyi's reaction was strange. She wasn't angry, and was even far too pleased. It was deeply unnatural.

That suspicion ended when Shen Su accidentally came across a xianxia novel. A minor character in the book shared Wei Nanyi's name. Betrayed by a scumbag, she had her bones and meridians shattered, her spiritual roots destroyed, and was transformed into a hundred different livestock before dying in agony. Her fate was tragic.

Shen Su seemed to remember. She had once loved Wei Nanyi, and had changed her fate in Wei Nanyi's world.

They had been married long ago. She had been Wei Nanyi's wife all along.

Wei Nanyi had given up everything to come find her.
