Her Husband Was Reborn After She Took the Place of His Bride [Period]

Lin Peizhu transmigrated into the younger sister of the doomed first wife in a period novel. In this life, the doomed older sister from the story was reborn. She refused to be a sacrificial pawn for the Lin family, tore up her marriage contract with the male supporting character, and went off to make a lifelong commitment to her childhood sweetheart. The Lin and Lu families had arranged a marriage years ago. The older sister threatened to kill herself rather than go through with it, so the marriage fell to her younger sister, Lin Peizhu. [He’s a factory director, wealthy, and never comes home. Two years later, he meets his old flame and offers to divorce, voluntarily splitting his assets in half.] Isn’t that basically like getting experience at a big company? Remembering the plot, Lin Peizhu sat in the shack in the crowded courtyard and agreed without hesitation. The Lin family turned down the blind date they’d already arranged with the butcher’s son and quickly set up a meeting with the Lu parents. He was much like the brief descriptions in the book: reserved, calm, and soft-spoken. He was better-looking than she’d imagined, though. Since they were already engaged, the meeting was just a formality, and they got their marriage certificate three days later. - Lu Mingzhen was reborn. To outsiders, he had been born into a good family, earned military honors while serving in the army, and then made his way up to become a factory director after leaving the service. His life should have been perfect. But Lu Mingzhen had just ended a failed marriage. In truth, that marriage should have ended two years earlier. Or perhaps he should never have agreed to it in the first place. After the divorce, he headed south on a business trip and was reborn two years in the past after an accident along the way. Given a chance to start over, he decided to end the marriage that would bring misery to both of them in the future. But when Lu Mingzhen returned home to negotiate with her, someone else stepped out of the house. “Lu Mingzhen?” A pale, slender fingertip waved in front of him, its pad tinged with a faint, delicate pink. She blinked, her lashes fluttering as she smiled. “Why do you look like I startled you?” He was startled. The woman before him wasn’t Lin Peirong, the woman who had been coldly polite to him in his previous life, pined for her childhood sweetheart, and eventually cheated on him two years into their marriage. Lin Peizhu thought Lu Mingzhen was acting strangely. Ever since he came back from his last business trip, the man who used to show up only once every two weeks had started coming around every few days. One day he asked if she needed help with work, the next he asked if she had enough money, and a few days later he invited her to the movies... Then one day, a drunk Lu Mingzhen accidentally ended up sleeping in her room. *Slow burn and melodramatic, with a gentle, steady pace. *Written on impulse, just indulging my personal tastes.
