After Being Widowed, the Reborn Coldhearted Official Begged Me to Remarry Him

In her previous life, after her husband, Meng Shuxing, died, Ruan Ruyu diligently managed the vast marquis’s estate and dutifully cared for her mother-in-law. What she got in return was her husband faking his death and returning with the scheming, seemingly innocent woman who had once saved his life. Her mother-in-law kicked her while she was down, and her husband pleaded with her to accept the woman as his equal wife. Softhearted, she agreed. Who knew the scheming woman would still not be satisfied? She plotted against Ruan Ruyu, who was ultimately forced to drink poison! She refused to accept this! In the blink of an eye, she was back on the day before her husband left for war. Reborn, Ruan Ruyu secretly swore that everyone who had harmed her would get what they deserved! So she set her sights on Meng Huaizhi, the only person in her previous life who had ever offered her a helping hand. Meng Huaizhi was aloof and otherworldly, with power and status. If she could make him fall for her, he would be quite useful! So one night, Ruan Ruyu pretended to be drunk and blocked his way. She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest, crying, “Yu’er is so scared, husband… It’s so dark and cold here…” A thin sheen of sweat broke out on Meng Huaizhi’s back, and his body went rigid as iron. Later, after Meng Shuxing returned and realized the sweet, innocent woman wasn’t so wonderful after all, he went looking for Ruan Ruyu. Instead, he saw a scene that made his eyes blaze with rage: she had been bound hand and foot and thrown out the door by Meng Huaizhi. “He’s no good. Let me take over.” In the end, after taking revenge on everyone, Ruan Ruyu realized she might have developed feelings for the pawn she had been using all along. Her feelings in turmoil, she hurriedly fled. When she turned around, she found Meng Huaizhi had caught up with her. His searing kisses fell on her forehead and beside her ear, driven by the desperate fervor of a man who had found what he thought he had lost. “Don’t even think about running away again. Not for the rest of your life!”
