After Going Blind, I Mistook My Uncle for My Husband

Tang Zhenyu was blind. Through an advantageous marriage, she became the third young madam of the Earl's household.

She wanted nothing more than a peaceful life. Her husband was sharp-tongued and cold to the extreme, yet in private he treated her wonderfully. So she gave him her whole heart.

Until the day her eyes were healed. She rushed into the man's arms, only to hear him chuckle.

"Third Brother, see? I told you she was silly."

The handsome man spoke with contempt, his phoenix eyes deep and unfathomable, his flying-fish uniform spattered with dark red.

Tang Zhenyu's mind went blank. Only then did she realize that the man who had been with her day and night was actually her younger brother-in-law.

The man standing off to one side was her real husband, who had survived a disaster and just returned to the estate.

For the sake of his career, Zhao Huaiyan married his missing elder brother's bride. He had never once taken this merchant's daughter seriously.

That is, until his brother returned to the estate and Zhao heard her say sweetly, "I almost regretted marrying into this family. Thank goodness you came back."

Zhao Huaiyan fed the dog the pastries he had brought back from far away, the ones she loved.

That night, he pinned her against the door, their fingers tightly interlocked. His icy phoenix eyes burned with obsession and madness, but his voice suddenly softened:

"Tell me, how is he better than me?"

Several times, when her husband's voice sounded from just beyond the wall, Tang Zhenyu was so frightened she went cold all over. Only then did she realize that the chaste, self-controlled gentleman of the past had all been an act...

In the end, she had no choice but to leave the Earl's estate and fall completely into the wolf's den.

"Yuniang, I told you that you'd come back..."

On the cramped bed, Zhao Huaiyan took his time, pinning down her slender, sweat-damp waist as he drove her to tears.

Wiping her tears, Tang Zhenyu thought that he toyed with her because he thought she was foolish. How could he know that she had simply once offered him her sincere affection?

At last, when Zhao Huaiyan became engaged, Tang Zhenyu ran away.

As the all-powerful commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhao Huaiyan had always looked down on everyone. He had never imagined that one day he would go through countless hardships to chase after a woman who had dumped him.

And as he watched her smile at someone else, his heart broke. He wished he could slap his former self for saying one thing while meaning another.

Note:

One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins.

Face-slapping, coercive pursuit, and a groveling chase to win back his wife.

The romance between the leads begins only after the brother-in-law relationship has ended.

[At the beginning, the elder brother is missing and presumed dead, which is why the younger brother marries the heroine. Pretending to be her husband during that time is necessary for the family's interests. There is no actual infidelity while the relationship remains in effect.]

The heroine's eyesight will be healed.
