After Marrying the Wrong Husband

[Marriage First, Love Later + Possessive Takeover + Pursuit After the Breakup]

After their wedding, Tan Nuo'er discovers that her husband is a completely different person from the one she knew before marriage.

Her husband, Pei Lin, is the heir to the Prince's estate. He used to be warm and outgoing, full of youthful spirit. But the man before her now... Though he still looks the same, his manner is reserved and cool, refined and distant. He treats her with neither warmth nor coldness.

He is restrained in every way except in the privacy of their bedroom.

"Is something wrong?"

One morning, her husband wraps his arms around her from behind and fixes her hair. In the mirror, his deep gaze settles on her face, his eyes cool. Looking at that familiar face, Nuo'er tells herself she's being suspicious.

"Nothing." She smiles sweetly.

Not long afterward, her parents send a letter from her family home, informing her that her husband died long ago and urging her to return as soon as possible. One moment, Nuo'er is delighted by the physician's congratulations. The next, her hands and feet turn cold.

"Is something wrong?"

Her husband glances at the letter and speaks casually.

Nuo'er grips the letter tightly, forcing down the tremor in her voice.

"Nothing." She manages a strained smile.

Crown Prince Pei Xuanqing is secretly investigating the murder of the heir to Chenwang's estate. The problem is, the heir has a bride-to-be. To avoid alerting the culprit, Pei Xuanqing marries her himself.

At first, her beauty is dazzling, and he suspects she may be the killer.

A month later, warmed by her soft, fragrant presence, he decides to play along.

Later, using Pei Lin's name, he claims every inch of her.

Once the case is over, he plans to take her back to the capital.

But then... three months later, Pei Lin returns.

And his wife secretly sets a trap to lure him out, then slips away.

Oh, she ran away?

And took his child with her.
