After the Divorce, the Chancellor Regretted It Too Late

My new novel next door, After Teasing the Aloof Prince, is about a silly beauty winning over an aloof prince. Coming soon! Please add it to your reading list~

Blurb:

Ruan Mu is a free-spirited country doctor. After she saves an unfamiliar man, her good name is ruined. She thinks they will never meet again, but the man she rescued, a refined and peerless top scholar from the capital, agrees to marry her.

She falls for him, her heart overflowing with joy, and believes they can live together in harmony.

But two years into their marriage, he never looks at her and never enters her room.

Everyone knows the young master does not care for his wife.

She endures his coldness, with no one to rely on.

At last, after her grandfather dies, Ruan Mu's heart turns to ash. With quiet resolve, she asks, "Lord Cui, let's get a divorce."

Cui Xuan is taken aback. After closing his eyes for a moment, he writes the divorce agreement himself.

He had been forced into marrying her through a scheme. He had no feelings for her, and certainly no reason to feel reluctant to let her go.

Five years after their separation, he puts down foreign enemies, directs affairs with calm assurance, and rises steadily through the ranks.

On his way to Jianye to oversee the move of the capital, he hears of a renowned woman physician. It takes him a moment to vaguely recall that her name is... similar to that of his former wife.

In his memories, she was timid, weak, and scheming.

But the woman before him, saving people from danger, looks much like her. She is lovely and lively, brave and decisive, with a natural grace. One look is enough to catch his breath and set his heart racing.

Step by step, he draws closer, following the beat of his own pounding heart.

Just as he is about to confess his love,

she smiles faintly and curtsies. "There's no need for you to look after me, Lord Cui. This commoner is getting married."

#When he finally looked back, the love of his life was already in someone else's arms#

#After his ex-wife ran off with another man, he lost it#

Blurb for After Teasing the Aloof Prince:

Wei Xi is beautiful and charming, with peach-pink cheeks. Though she is only the daughter of a minor official, the Princess Dowager takes a liking to her and marries her off to a solitary, aloof prince.

According to the rumors, the prince is nearly thirty, still unmarried, and coldly indifferent to women. Every young lady in the capital waits to see Wei Xi make a fool of herself.

Sure enough, the wedding is simple and undignified, and the prince does not even show up that day.

Then, one snowy midnight, the man returns home. Seeing a beautiful, sweetly sleeping... wife in his room, Li Chengyi's face turns livid. This is absurd!

He stares at her dazed, lotus-petal face and scolds her coldly: "I don't need you, and I don't like you!" Then he throws her right out of the room.

Everyone in the capital knows the prince dislikes his consort.

When the Princess Dowager learns they still have not consummated their marriage after a month, she is beside herself with worry. Wei Xi has no choice but to blush, bite her lip, and sidle up to the prince with her clothes slipping from her shoulders. Her voice barely rises above a whisper. "Your Highness, I... am going to... start seducing you."

"Step one: bare my shoulder."

"Step two..."

What nonsense! Li Chengyi's dark eyes turn cold and his veins bulge as he throws her out again.

Li Chengyi has spent half his life fighting on the battlefield and has no interest in romance. He never expected the consort he married for no particular reason to adore him, or to tease him day after day until he could hardly stand it.

But when she fails to show up one day, Li Chengyi puts down the book he is holding upside down and frowns impatiently. "Where is she?" Is she thinking up another way to tease him?

The eunuch is trembling with fear, but has no choice but to speak.

"The princess consort... has run away..."

"She... she also left a... a divorce agreement..."

Li Chengyi's face turns black with fury. He nearly grinds his back teeth to dust.

He goes to catch the heartless little thing himself, only to see a woman behind the screen, her face as pale as snow, her figure graceful, her voice light and sweet.

"Teasing him is such a pain and so exhausting. Besides, I don't even like him. He's a walking block of ice. The one I like~ is a young man as bright as the moon~"

The prince, who had secretly climbed over the wall: ...

#A silly foodie beauty who teases people for the sake of good food and drink#

#The aloof prince nearly dies of rage after taking the bait#
