Marrying into a Powerful Family for the Second Time, the Cold and Aloof Official Dotes on Her to the Bone

In just two short years of marriage, childhood sweethearts Jiang Lingwei and Ji Xun became a pair of bitter enemies.

After a decisive divorce, she took her parents back to their old home in Jinling.

But just after leaving the capital, she was attacked. Her former teacher, Cui Dan, came to her rescue and proposed a deal.

She would enter the marquis's residence as a servant, and he would keep her family safe.

Half threat, half inducement, Jiang Lingwei had no choice.

Cui Dan had a secret: when he was young, he fell in love with his own student.

She disguised herself as a man, and he pretended not to know. He taught her to read and shoot arrows, all the while hiding his love.

Then news came that she had died, and he went mad, collecting women who resembled her.

One of them was the most like her, so much so that it seemed she might actually be her...
