The Madam Opens Her Eyes Wanting a Divorce, but the Obsessive Chief Minister Pursues Her Every Day

In her previous life, Ruan Puyao married Pei Jingyan with neither of them having any love to give. She was miserable and helpless because she had broken a vow to her first love, while he resented having to marry because of his stepmother's scheming. They might have spent their lives treating each other with icy courtesy, but then Ruan Puyao's first love died in battle. Heartbroken, she began treating Pei Jingyan as his replacement, showering him with tenderness and affection. Pei Jingyan was a peerless genius, second to none in the world. Yet he never imagined that one day he would lose to a dead man. Proud and furious, he vowed to make her see who truly was the more handsome and incomparable man. From then on, their unhappy marriage turned into a blood feud. She set a trap to send him to his death, while he helped the new emperor execute her entire family. When she was defeated, she begged to die and asked for a divorce. He looked down at her proudly and laughed at her naivety. “A divorce? So you can go below and be ghostly spouses with him? In life, we share a bed. In death, we share a grave.” He kept her under house arrest and tortured her, all to hear her say, “He's not as good as you.” But he never imagined that one day she would really die... Reborn, she was once again to marry Pei Jingyan. Ruan Puyao thought that if she couldn't get a divorce, she might as well become a widow. Then, when her first love returned, she could marry him instead. She prepared a knife and poison wine, but to her surprise, he started by handing her a divorce agreement. “Marrying you was never my choice.” She truly wanted to thank his whole family, but she poured out the poison wine anyway. The reputation of being a husband-killer wasn't exactly appealing. At last, her first love returned. Ruan Puyao grabbed the divorce papers, packed her silver, and tried to run, only to find that Pei Jingyan regretted it. “I told you: in life, we share a bed. In death, we share a grave.”
