My Husband’s Mistress Entered the Household? Reborn, I Married a Powerful Official Faking His Death

In my previous life, Xie Yufeng refused to share a bed with me. To protect his reputation, I accepted the blame for being unable to bear children. But three years later, my cousin entered the household with his son and claimed him as family. Only then did I learn that it had all been a plot between the two of them. While I was weak and ill, they had my cousin take my place as the young madam of the Xie family. Reborn at the funeral of Third Uncle Xie, I set a trap to catch them in the act and broke off the engagement on the spot. Old Madam Xie wiped away her tears and pleaded, “Jinyue, Master Qingxuan once said that only if you marry into the Xie family will both our families enjoy endless prosperity.” I smiled faintly. “So all I have to do is marry into the Xie family? Then I’ll marry Third Master Xie. I’ll remain chaste for him in life and be buried with him in death.” But my triumphant days lasted only a few. Third Master Xie actually came back from the dead. He cornered me in a deserted spot and demanded, “I hear you’re deeply in love with me and can’t tear yourself away?” I begged him repeatedly. “I made it up, all right? Is it still in time to break off the engagement?” Third Master Xie’s expression was icy. “No. It’s too late.” The wedding went ahead as planned. I had assumed Xie Qian was cold and aloof on the outside, and probably just as disinterested in the bedroom.
