After Rebirth, the Mad, Powerful Official Can No Longer Hide His Gentle Act

Jiang Wu had died once already.

In her previous life, her fiance and her closest friend conspired to deceive her. She was led to believe her husband was a sinister, treacherous man, so she plotted against him and brought about his death.

Only as she lay dying did she see the truth: from beginning to end, she was the one being manipulated and used.

Heaven had mercy on her and granted her another life.

In this life, all Jiang Wu wants is to be a virtuous, gracious wife to her gentle, refined husband.

She has a wicked servant beaten to death with a cane. Her husband smiles in approval. "You did the right thing, my lady. I'll help you get justice."

She kills her enemy with her own hands. Her husband secretly passes her a knife. "The wicked deserve to die."

Jiang Wu thinks this is the understanding shared between husband and wife.

Until one night, she sees her husband with blood on his hands, smiling as he snaps an enemy's neck.

It turns out she never married some kind, proper gentleman.

She married a madman and obsessive fanatic skilled at hiding his true nature!

Jiang Wu tries to flee, but her husband, dressed in white and as pristine as dust, walks toward her through a mountain of corpses and gives a mocking laugh.

"A Wu, the world is a net and all living things are bait. You can't escape."

Jiang Wu is utterly disheartened.

That night, the man leans over her and kisses away the tears at the corners of her eyes, his voice tender and refined.

"Don't cry."

"You like gentle men? Then I'll learn to be one."

"But the more you cry, the more excited I get!"
