Something's Not Quite Right with My Husband

[150,000 words drafted | gloomy, obsessive male ghost x bright, dazzling ray of sunshine | marriage first, love later | reunited after a breakup]

Wang Yansheng, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jingyuan's household, marries Xin Ruxu, second son of the Duke of Xinguo, to protect her elder brother.

The marriage is arranged, and Xin Ruxu is famous for being cold as ice. Wang Yansheng has already prepared herself to spend their wedding night alone and never see him again afterward.

But on their wedding night, Xin Ruxu holds her and cries all night.

Wang Yansheng: Strange. I'm the one getting married, so why is he crying so hard?

Before long, Wang Yansheng realizes that Xin Ruxu is acting very strangely.

When she rides and practices with a spear, he says, "My wife is so heroic and valiant, every bit the equal of Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying."

When she stands quietly, he says, "My wife is as beautiful as a flower. I must protect her well, so nobody else can set their sights on her."

Wang Yansheng: O.O?!

My husband may be a little strange, but he's such a sweetheart!

The couple support each other through thick and thin, their love as sweet as honey.

As they hold each other close, she hears her husband anxiously call her by her childhood nickname. "Tongtong, if there is a previous life, would you still love me?"

Xin Ruxu never thought he would return to three years earlier.

In his previous life, his wife set their home ablaze, then took her own life in despair without letting him see her one last time.

After she died, she never even appeared in his dreams.

From then on, Xin Ruxu began traveling from temple to temple, praying day and night for just one more chance to see his wife.

He never thought his wish would come true.

Xin Ruxu still can't believe it's real. He is often tormented by nightmares and anxiety.

Holding the person he's longed for in his arms, he asks tentatively.

She kisses the corner of his mouth. "Whether it's in our past life, this one, or the next, I will always love you."

#May I be like the stars, and you like the moon, so that our light may shine together night after night.
