Returning Before the Tyrant Turns Dark

The day Yu Lingxin was abandoned by Jiang Nong, the rain poured down hard. No matter how he begged, Jiang Nong wouldn’t even grant him a single glance. After he became ruler of the realm, the first thing he did was breach the city gates, kill Jiang Nong’s husband, and imprison her by his side. Jiang Nong hated him for his cruelty and ruthlessness; Yu Lingxin hated Jiang Nong just as fiercely. Then Jiang Nong truly died… Yu Lingxin waited twelve years, finally able to drink a cup of poisoned wine and find release. He collapsed in the snow, and in a daze, he saw Jiang Nong walking toward him, taking his hand—just as they had in the passionate days of their youth. With his last ounce of strength, he gripped her hand, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes still blazing with a venomous, unyielding hatred. Jiang Nong—even as a ghost, you will never escape me. — Jiang Nong endured three years and finally died—only to open her eyes and find herself back in the days when Yu Lingxin was still a despised hostage, kicked around by everyone. In the corner, the young boy—thin, solitary, ostracized—cast a fawning, ingratiating smile her way. A neurotic, dark tyrant and his lovely, lively, kind, and ever-helpful beautiful wife.
