Reborn to Marry the Noble Heir, Her Obsessive Ex-Husband Sees Red

Yu Jiao and her scumbag husband, Xie Ming, were reborn together.

In her previous life, Yu Jiao had painstakingly schemed for Xie Ming, guarding against his biased mother and treacherous older brother while fighting off wolves and tigers outside the family. After helping him rise to the rank of general, he turned around and despised her low birth, taking one beautiful concubine after another.

When she opened her eyes again, Yu Jiao was back at the spring-viewing banquet where she had first met Xie Ming. Watching him ignore her as she nearly drowned and swim toward Nie Manor's noble legitimate daughter, she knew he had grown so sick of her that he wanted nothing more to do with her in this life.

But Xie Ming didn't know that he wasn't the only one who was sick of someone.

Shen Shu, heir to the Marquis's estate, was caught off guard and tricked into rescuing a young woman from the lake. Afterward, Nie Manor forced him to marry her.

At first, he thought, She's just a woman. I'll treat her like a cat kept in the back courtyard.

Later, he thought, She is proper in word and deed, much beloved by my family, and fit to serve as the lady of the household. I will give her the respect she deserves, and we will live together as courteous strangers for the rest of our lives.

Later still, when an insolent fool stood in his way, babbling that Yu Jiao was his wife and demanding that Shen Shu return her, Shen Shu drew his sword. Then, with a cold face, he kept Yu Jiao confined to their room for days.

Yu Jiao supported her sore back and asked him, "Courteous strangers?"

Shen Shu replied without batting an eye, "You must have remembered wrong, my lady. I clearly said we'd be in love for a long, long time."
