After I Was Reborn, My Ex-Husband Came to Settle Accounts

[Sharp-Tongued but Soft-Hearted, Spoiled Noblewoman × Poison-Tongued, Proud and Aloof Aristocratic Heir]

Ten years ago, An Zhiyun married the esteemed heir of a duke's estate.

She thought she had found a good husband and that they would share a loving marriage.

Instead, after the wedding, they argued constantly, as incompatible as fire and water.

She began plotting to poison him,

but never imagined that he would kill her first.

Their ten-year marriage, spent growing sick of the sight of each other, finally ended on the Lantern Festival,

when her husband handed her a cup of poisoned wine.

After being reborn, she returned to the Lantern Festival ten years earlier.

Beneath the lights illuminating the whole city, she looked at the handsome man by the bridge,

let out a cold laugh, and turned away, silently swearing:

In this life, she would never fall in love with him again!

Fate played its tricks, and they met again, still at each other's throats.

Her hand slipped, splattering ink all over him. "Sorry, that was an accident."

His hand slipped, spilling tea over her painting. "What a coincidence. So was mine."

But one day, the man who opposed her at every turn

risked his life to protect her in a fire.

Confused and uncertain, she still chose to turn and leave.

Later, they each became engaged to someone else, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief,

thinking she would never again have anything to do with him.

But one night, as rain poured down,

he cornered her and tore up her marriage contract with another man.

His fingertips traced every inch of her skin as he said in a low voice,

"Even though you gave me a bowl of poison in our last life, I still want to love you!"

[Eunuch Prince × Quirky Transmigrator]

Lin Yue'er transmigrated to the Kingdom of Zhuque and became the legitimate daughter of a low-ranking official. Unfortunately, her mother had died young, and her father had taken a second wife, so no one arranged a marriage for her even after she came of age.

At last, she managed to land a match in the countryside. The other party was a poor scholar, but he was handsome, refined, and ambitious. She considered him a promising investment with room to grow.

Who could have guessed that on the way home from meeting him, she would encounter a lecher peeping at her while she bathed? Before he could say a word, she slapped him several times, left and right.

Not long after she returned to the city, just as Lin Yue'er was waiting to become engaged to the poor scholar, an imperial edict bestowed her as a wife upon the Seventh Prince.

Though the Seventh Prince was as beautiful as an immortal, his character was vile. Rumor had it that five years ago, during a campaign against a neighboring kingdom, he had forcibly taken a female prisoner, and she had destroyed his ability to father children. From then on, he had been an eunuch.

What did it matter if an eunuch prince had peerless looks? Not a single noble young lady in the city was willing to marry him. So, even past the age of twenty-one, he still had no princess consort. That should have been the end of it, but one day he suddenly asked the emperor for an imperial edict, specifically naming Lin Yue'er as the woman he wanted to marry.

Lin Yue'er immediately became the laughingstock of the city's noblewomen. She didn't want to marry an eunuch either! But her father held a low office, and her stepmother couldn't wait to get rid of her. She couldn't fight against the powers that be, so she reluctantly married into the prince's residence.

On their wedding night, Lin Yue'er discovered that the Seventh Prince was the lecher who had peeped at her bathing. Furious, she nearly overturned the bridal chamber. "Y-You... Are you taking revenge on me with your official power?"

And so, she ran and he chased. She couldn't escape, even if she had wings...

The Seventh Prince watched her stir up trouble at every turn with cold eyes. To secure his plans for the future, he could only frown and negotiate with her. "Three years. Sign a three-year contract. After that, you can go wherever you want!"

After a round of threats and persuasion, Lin Yue'er decided the offer was reasonable and gritted her teeth as she signed the marriage contract. Since he was an eunuch and couldn't get her pregnant, she had no qualms about letting him get close.

Until one night, when he was drunk and holding her, she suddenly felt something hard pressing against her lower back... Something was wrong!

Two years later, civil unrest broke out in the city. She broke their contract and ran away in the chaos, fleeing to a neighboring kingdom to become the crown prince's consort. But that persistent eunuch prince chased her down. After catching her, he gripped her chin in his large hand, fury surging in his eyes. "The three years aren't up. Come back with me!"
