[Clearheaded Heiress in Command × Sweet-Talking, Black-Hearted Crown Prince; Past and Present Lives + Marriage Before Love + Secret Crush Comes True + Regretful Husband's Chase]
Only as she lay dying did Ji Tinglan learn that her marriage, envied by everyone, was one enormous lie!
To take care of her husband and son, she had unhesitatingly stepped away from the spotlight to become a full-time housewife.
In return, she learned that the husband she loved had been cheating on her for twenty years, and that the son she had raised herself was actually his child with his first love!
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day she had to choose a partner for an arranged marriage.
To her surprise, her ex-husband turned down his first love and came to propose to her for the sake of his own future.
Without a moment's hesitation, she turned instead to Xie Yun, the blind, disowned crown prince of the capital's elite circle, whom everyone had written off.
Then, one night as thunder roared, Duan Yujing fell to his knees, face deathly pale, and clutched her skirt. “Wife, I was wrong. I've been in love with you all along.”
Xie Yun swept her into his arms, shielding her skirt from the rain, then kicked the man away. “Tch. Who the hell are you calling your wife? She's mine.”
Back in college, Ji Tinglan had known she and Xie Yun shared a special kind of understanding.
Only after marriage, when she stumbled upon the secret he had hidden away, did she see the portraits of herself, one after another, and realize that what she had taken for mutual understanding had actually been someone's carefully laid plan all along.
Later, on many a late night, Xie Yun would hold her tightly by the waist and coax her softly, asking again and again, “Be good. Whose wife are you?”
With red eyes and tears glistening, Ji Tinglan would cry his name over and over in a hoarse, broken voice. “Xie... Xie Yun's.”
