A Springtime Beauty to Cherish

[The husband chases his wife to win her back, post-marital heartbreak, rekindled love] Four years ago, her elder sister fell gravely ill. On her deathbed, she asked Pei Zhi to raise her son, care for her husband, and become his second wife. For years, Pei Zhi managed the household and poured her heart and soul into it, dreaming that she and her husband would grow old together in harmony. But the husband she loved didn't love her. He was wary of her and treated her as nothing but a caregiver for his child. Then his childhood sweetheart, Bai Yutong, returned to the capital, and their old feelings reignited. She had a cruel mother-in-law above her, disrespectful servants below her, and a husband who thought nothing of her. The once-reputable home of a distinguished family had become a hellish place that would slowly consume her. Pei Zhi came to her senses in time and began plotting to divorce him. On a rainy night when she had nowhere else to turn, she had no choice but to knock on the door of her husband's elder cousin from the main branch of the family. “My lord, can you help me get a divorce?” The man's expression was cold and unyielding. “Have you thought this through? What price are you prepared to pay?” In the rain, she stood soaked to the skin, the corner of her brow lifting. “I'll do whatever you say...”

Xie Jie, the eldest son of the Xie family's main branch and the most powerful man in the world, was rumored to have been born under a lonely star. Several fiancées had died before their weddings, so he had given up on ever marrying. Cold and solitary by nature, he handled the emperor's cases with ruthless resolve, earning countless enemies with his brutal methods. He had thought he would spend his life wielding power and growing old alone. But by chance, he kept seeing a delicate woman suffer injustice and fall victim to schemes. After helping her once, her shadow seemed to bewitch him, lodging itself in his heart. When she had nowhere left to turn, she came to his door to beg for help. He reached out and pulled her to her feet, his breath hot against her. “If you come with me, there will be no turning back.”
