Eight Years After His Wife’s Death, the Cold-Hearted Husband Weeps

An earthquake sent Liu Qingying eight years into the future.

Eight years later, her husband had become a decisive, ruthless general, and each of her three children was more of a handful than the last.

Barely in her twenties, Liu Qingying was forced to shoulder the burden of the whole family.

When the children misbehaved, she disciplined them one by one. The eldest was cold and taciturn, the second was obsessed with competing against other women, and the third did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun. On top of that, relatives and in-laws from both sides kept causing trouble.

Let the chaos continue. Better yet, let it boil over into one big mess so she can drink it while it’s hot.

Pei Chong, a younger son of a collateral branch of the Pei family, lost his parents when he was young. As a teenager, he was engaged to Liu, a girl from a poor family.

After they married, he and his wife treated each other with courtesy. She once asked him, “Do you love me?”

What was love? Pei Chong didn’t understand.

But he wanted to see her and be with her. Whenever she was around, Pei Chong’s heart felt warm.

Later, Pei Chong finally understood: that was love.

But then his wife disappeared, and Pei Chong searched high and low without finding her.

Everyone in the capital said that after the general’s wife disappeared eight years ago, he had gone mad.
