[Blurb for this novel]
A month ago, Ruan Yun was still the wife of Fu Rong, a concubine-born son of the Duke of Dingguo. She went with her mother-in-law to pray at a temple, when news suddenly arrived that Fu Rong had died in battle. They hurried down the mountain, but their carriage plunged off a cliff along the way.
But she didn't die. With a thud, she found herself ten years in the future.
Ruan Yun missed her parents and younger siblings in the capital. She also wanted to uncover who had tried to kill her, so she plotted her return to the capital. Thinking of her marriage to Fu Rong, she pretended to be a widow along the way.
Who could have guessed that not long after she entered the capital, someone would seize her and tell her to be a stand-in for Ruan, the late wife of Fu Rong, Duke of Dingguo?
Ruan Yun: "...?"
*
Unwilling to let Fu Rong remain trapped in the past, Ruan Yun went to great lengths to persuade him to let go of what had happened and "move on from his late wife." She helped him resolve his emotional turmoil, then took her leave once the job was done.
After successfully reuniting with her family, Ruan Yun decided to start a new life. On the very first day she opened the door to her new home, she found a drenched Fu Rong on the doorstep.
The Duke of Dingguo, rumored to wield power over the court and to be ruthless and heartless, was now soaked to the skin and pale-faced, daring only to catch the edge of her clothes with the utmost care.
"A Yun," he said. "Please don't abandon me."
But where she couldn't see, his dark eyes were filled with madness and obsession.
A Yun, don't ever think about leaving me again.

[Blurb for After Repaying My Debt, My Ex-Husband Came After Me]
Reborn into a second life, Yuan Zhen set herself two goals: save herself, and save Pei Xun.
Pei Xun was the youngest top scorer in the imperial examinations in the dynasty, and would go on to become its youngest chancellor. He was as radiant and accomplished as the moon, blessed with extraordinary talent, yet he died at the hands of treacherous people around him.
In her previous life, they had met only a few times, yet he was willing to brave the snow to gather her remains, sparing her the grim fate of being left exposed in the wilderness.
In this life, Yuan Zhen was willing to put herself in harm's way and become the person closest to him, all to eliminate the dangers surrounding him for good.
*
It wasn't until Yuan Zhen brought him a divorce agreement she'd written before their wedding that Pei Xun realized she had never loved him. Everything she had done was only to save him.
Under her expectant gaze, he slowly wrote his name.
"Where will you go now?"
"Yangzhou." Yuan Zhen carefully put away the divorce agreement and smiled, relaxed and carefree. "May we part on good terms and each find our own peace. I hope you rise to great heights in the years to come."
Pei Xun smiled and agreed. After watching her leave, he immediately asked the emperor for an appointment in Yangzhou.
