Li Yanyong and Lin Zhaoxue married young, and once loved each other dearly.
But even the love of youth couldn't withstand the wear of time.
Over the years of their marriage, Lin Zhaoxue managed the household and raised their children so Li Yanyong could focus on his career. She swallowed the grievances she suffered at the hands of her in-laws and sisters-in-law, serving the whole family on her own and holding down the home front for him, all at the cost of her health and peace of mind.
But Li Yanyong was cold by nature and had no idea how to be considerate. He never cared for her or noticed the misery and sacrifices she endured at home, keeping his attention fixed on his official duties.
She argued with him several times over his indifference, but all she got in return was an increasingly cold bed. Their relationship grew so frosty that they treated each other with icy politeness.
By the time Li Yanyong had made his name and become a high-ranking official, enjoying fame and success, Lin Zhaoxue had spent years working herself to the bone and bottling up her misery. She died of exhaustion.
Only then did Li Yanyong, who had refused to yield for years and had buried himself in his work, finally understand her suffering. For the first time, the usually proud man humbled himself:
"It was my fault. I neglected her."
As she lay dying, she finally heard him admit his mistake, but it was too late. All that remained was regret.
Fortunately, six years later, she was able to return to life.
Overcome with excitement, she went to find the husband she had struggled through life with and trusted most, only to see him
The husband who had once cared only for official business, cold and thoughtless, was now speaking softly as he tenderly wiped the fragrant sweat from the brow of his new, younger wife.
Lin Zhaoxue froze.
Li Yanyong had truly changed his cold ways after the lesson her death had taught him. He had become considerate and attentive to his wife.
But he had given all that care to another woman.
Unlike Lin Zhaoxue, worn down to the point of near death and aged before her time, Li Yanyong had ensured his new wife never suffered any of the grievances Lin Zhaoxue had endured. He spoiled her until she was
proud and carefree, in the prime of her life.
[The male lead is chaste]
1. In the blurb, the heroine "returns to life" because someone saved her. There is no rebirth element.
2. The main story has two endings: the heroine chooses either the male lead or the second male lead. Both are one-on-one romances.

Please collect my upcoming revenge-romance novel, He Tormented Her After Their Divorce:
Liu Jiao was a country girl, rough around the edges but rather pretty. The princess took a liking to her and arranged for her to marry her personal guard, bringing her to the wealthy capital. From then on, she would want for nothing. Her husband was handsome and ambitious, and she would never have to worry about the future.
Everyone said she was lucky, that she'd gotten a good deal, and that she should be grateful to the princess.
But her married life was far from happy.
As the guard's wife, Liu Jiao still spent less time with her husband than the princess did.
The princess and her husband were inseparable.
At night, all Liu Jiao got was her husband's cold back.
The princess only had to tease him casually, and this normally stern man would blush and be distracted for days.
No matter how much Liu Jiao flirted and acted coquettish, he remained just as cold.
Liu Jiao even suspected there was something between them. Her husband rested a hand on his sword and warned her coldly:
"Don't overthink it. The princess is married. If you slander her like that, you'll ruin her reputation."
"You should be grateful, not slander her."
At first, Liu Jiao reassured herself:
The princess was born to wealth and privilege. Of course her husband would risk his life to protect her. It was his duty as her guard.
But she wasn't a fool. After being passed over again and again, after one disappointment after another, Liu Jiao finally understood something:
No matter how great his responsibility was, he didn't need to devote himself so completely to the princess, attending to every little detail.
It was love, a love hidden deep in his heart, that made him devote himself to the princess like that.
Her husband, the princess's guard
was in love with the princess.
*
Later, he became a high-ranking official, and the princess divorced her husband. The two of them were no longer held back by their status.
Though Liu Jiao was a country girl, she knew her place. She handed him divorce papers, and he simply said, "All right."
He was so calm and indifferent that he even taught the illiterate country girl how to write her name and sign the divorce papers.
It wasn't until the day Liu Jiao remarried, when he came with a troop of soldiers and dragged her back, that she learned the truth:
What he had taught her to write on the divorce papers wasn't her name.
It was "No."
Theme: When it's time to let go, let go.
Anyway, I stand by my uncle from beginning to end. A married man still has no sense of boundaries. His ex-husband who puts his wife above others doesn't want her anymore.
Can you write a side story about Li Yanyong? It would be best to start from the time he was rescued from the fire, to Lin Zhaoxue's death, to the reunion of the two, to Lin Zhaoxue's complete departure, and finally to his appearance at the banquet with Mr. Li. I really want to know what this scumbag is thinking. For example, how did he agree to marry Ding, what was his attitude towards Ding, and did he really regard her as his wife? How did he and Ding get along after they got married? (If you are just a savior, do you need to be treated like a wife? You are going to the lantern festival, wiping sweat, writing marriage cards, and you are afraid that she will think too much. Do you take good care of her and respond to her requests? You are not like this to your own wife. The relationship between the two is very strange. It seems that except for having never done anything intimate, they are no different from each other. Because the favor of saving lives must be obeyed by them. It's hard for me to understand why she wants to be her sister. Can't you take care of her if you marry her? Do you plan to keep her a widow for the rest of her life? The author's explanation is that if Ding doesn't regret it, he will give it up in a few years.) How does he feel when he reunites with Lin Zhaoxue? How he explained his relationship with Lin Zhaoxue to Ding. After Lin Zhaoxue came back, how was he going to deal with the relationship between the three of them? On the night when the three of them went to the lantern festival, why did he take Ding and walk side by side with Ding, leaving the heroine behind? If he really liked the heroine, would he completely ignore her existence? Not to mention that because of Ding, he repeatedly rebuked the heroine, compared the heroine with Ding, and said that Ding was younger and more sensible than the heroine. On the night of the lantern festival, he comforted Ding and said that he liked Ding's second lantern more. He didn't want Ding and Ding to become like Lin Zhaoxue, at war with each other and respectful to each other. Wasn't this treating her as his wife? Facing Lin Zhaoxue's hysterical venting, he just stood aside and watched coldly. Has he ever reflected on himself? Isn't what the heroine said wrong? Has he considered the heroine's feelings? Also, Li Yanyong said that he was afraid that Lin Zhaoxue would be jealous, so he always protected Ding in front of Lin Zhaoxue. Isn't it because he always protects Ding that the heroine is jealous? I don't understand why he didn't tell the heroine earlier. He married her because Ding saved his life. The two of them are innocent. If you tell her, will she still be jealous? Will you still quarrel with Ding? Don't you have a mouth? What is there to hide about something like this? Or do you just want to see two women competing for your favor? It's just mentally ill! Also, Li Yanyong is the second-in-command in the court. If you want to reconcile, just move your fingers. What kind of trouble can Ding and her father cause, and they have to endure it for two months. I'm really drunk. In fact, this gag is quite novel, but the heroine has been abused for too long in the early stage, and the heroine has never grown up. Several characters also seem too thin. In the later stage, it cannot be rounded out, so it can only end abruptly.
This book is so disgusting. I hate women so much. Give me your money back, it's disgusting
I really feel like the author is giving up on himself.
Just the ones in the catalog... Subconsciously treat Ding well... Like her Ci Deng more, etc., Her scumbag ex-husband is not worthy of him [angry]
To be honest, I don't know what I'm looking at anymore. Forget it, I've looked at everything. [Tucks chin]
Is your ex-husband your ancestor?
Asiba, no matter how you look at Li Yanyong, he is such a scumbag. He broke the female goose's heart until she was bruised and bruised. It was absolutely wrong and she started to regret it.
Did the female protagonist really do anything wrong? I don't think there is a problem in competing for favor in a big house. It's not enough to torture the female protagonist, and the female protagonist also has to be insulted. It is obvious that the male protagonist always favors the female protagonist by hurting the female protagonist. Both the female protagonist and the female protagonist are devoted to the male protagonist, and one of them is depressed and relapses after his death. Repeating the same mistakes, a man who seems to be favored is actually made a widow, and in the end he is so disgusting that he abandons a woman in a ruined temple. The male protagonist who is 90% wrong does not abuse her body and mind, but he does it to the female partner who is 10% wrong. He also uses the most disgusting and chaste way. The male protagonist does not deserve to be with any woman.
Omg my eyes, and this kind of man's he is no different than picking up cakes to eat from the garbage heap [Joker] The writing is so sloppy [Joker]
