He Regretted It, but She Married Someone Else

*The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead

Xiao Jingcheng was the heir to the Duke's estate, a man of impeccable character and dazzling talent who rose to high office at a young age.

In Li Su's heart, he was her salvation, and marrying him was the greatest blessing of her life. So even when the Duke's estate was at its most difficult, she spent every bit of her meager dowry and went from place to place seeking help.

Yet in the third year of their marriage, he returned from an assignment with an orphan girl.

When the girl smashed the jade hairpin he had given Li Su as their betrothal token, he said coolly, "It was only a jade hairpin. If it's broken, then it's broken." The girl humiliated Li Su in public at a palace banquet. Li Su merely taught her a small lesson, but he called her vicious.

Later, when Li Su and the girl were both in danger, he chose to save the girl and abandon Li Su.

In that moment, Li Su finally saw the truth.

No one was anyone else's salvation. She decided to be herself again.

After waking up, she asked for a divorce.

To her surprise, her usually dignified and composed husband, who always seemed to have everything under control, lost his composure for the first time and crushed the teacup in his hand.

After the divorce, she married her foster brother, Li Zhao.

She thought it would be nothing more than a temporary arrangement. She never expected that Li Zhao had coveted her for a long time, and had even played a part in her divorce from Xiao Jingcheng.

What she never expected was that both he and Xiao Jingcheng had been reborn.

The difference was that Xiao Jingcheng resented her supposed "betrayal" in their previous life and treated her coldly in this one. Li Zhao, on the other hand, hid the madness surging in his eyes and pretended to be a gentle, caring older brother, advancing his plans step by step.
