Reborn as the Powerful Minister’s Doomed First Wife, I Seduce a Tough Man and Bear His Child

The moment Xie Zhaozhao opened her eyes, she found a handsome man's face looming over her. Long legs, a strong waist, and a face and figure exactly to her taste.

Before Xie Zhaozhao could ask for his WeChat, the man ground out through clenched teeth, "Xie Zhaozhao, until I sign the divorce papers, you're still my wife. Run again and I'll break your legs!"

Only then did Xie Zhaozhao realize she'd entered a novel. In the story, she was selfish and depraved, abandoning her husband and child and running off with all the family's money, only to die in a ruined temple. The man in front of her was her husband in name.

Since she was here, she might as well make the best of it. Xie Zhaozhao decided to change the ending. She wasn't going to be the first wife who died young. She'd cling to the male lead, become financially independent, and rise to the top.

She made money by day and flirted with her husband by night, turning the stern, hard-hearted man into a lovesick fool.

The neighbors heard crying from next door every night and told everyone Xie Zhaozhao was getting beaten again.

"I heard Pei Heng broke her leg this time when she tried to elope."

"That's right, I heard it with my own ears. She cried herself hoarse and hasn't left the house in three days."

"She's so frail. Could he have beaten her to death?"

"With a face like hers, going around causing trouble for men, she'd deserve it."

But six months passed, and Xie Zhaozhao was still alive. Someone even saw Pei Heng holding her close and kissing her.

A year went by, and Xie Zhaozhao still wasn't dead. Instead, people saw Pei Heng and their son, one big and one small, kneeling in the courtyard.

"Wife, if you still won't let me sleep in our room tonight, I'll kneel here until I die."

"Mom, let Dad come sleep in our room. I want a little sister."
