Reborn in the Late ’70s: Leaving My Fake-Dead Ex-Husband for a Military Officer

In her previous life, Xiao An was literally driven to death. Only on her deathbed did she finally discover the truth: everyone in her family had known that her husband had faked his death and secretly married another woman. Everyone knew—except her. Like a fool, she waited for him for nearly sixty years. She remained a widow in all but name, dutifully caring for her in-laws and raising her sister-in-law, only to watch the husband who had supposedly died return home in glory decades later, surrounded by children and grandchildren. Yet when he came back, he told her coldly, “There’s no need to bother getting a divorce. Things were backward back then. For all we know, our marriage registration may never have even existed. So technically, you’re free.” When Xiao An opens her eyes again, she finds herself back at the beginning. Her husband’s family still wants to cling to her and bleed her dry. But this time, Xiao An has only one priority: To live for herself. As heavy snow falls from the sky, her scumbag ex-husband roars in fury: “Why won’t you stay in the countryside and take care of my parents like you’re supposed to? You… you’re my wife!” Before Xiao An can respond, a man suddenly appears behind her and pulls her into his arms. The man looks at her former husband with a cold smile. “What kind of lunatic are you? Since when does someone else’s fiancée become your wife?” After registering their marriage, Xiao An discovers something she never expected. The regiment commander who is stern, upright, and famously expressionless in public has a rather different side when they are alone. He seems to have an endless fascination with putting his hands on her. Xiao An protests, “We agreed before getting married. This was supposed to be a fake marriage!” The man gives her a wicked grin. “The marriage certificate is real. So why would anything else about our marriage have to be fake?” Xiao An: And so begins yet another day of going to work while holding my aching waist. Damn that man. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Reborn in the Late ’70s: Leaving My Fake-Dead Ex-Husband for a Military Officer — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
