The Widow Reborn: She Flees with Her Child, Leaving the Powerful Minister Weeping at Her Grave

[Mutual Purity + Wife-Chasing + Rebirth + Second Chance Romance + Reunion After Years Apart + Pregnant Runaway + Mildly Forced Love + Obsessive Male Lead] In her previous life, Liu Muli followed Wei Linye to the capital for the imperial examinations. After he passed and became an official, he married her, and the two spent years together as husband and wife. She thought they would grow old in harmony—until she overheard him coldly say: “It’s better if she loses it. The child cannot be kept.” The words came from the man she loved, spoken because a commandery princess had set her heart on him. Liu Muli’s heart turned to ice. She left him a divorce agreement and fled the capital, determined to sever all ties with him. But on her journey, she was caught in a snowstorm, fell gravely ill, and died alone in a foreign land. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned three years into the past. She had not yet followed Wei Linye to the capital. They had never married, and by name, she was still his sister-in-law. Reborn, Liu Muli wants only one thing: stay far away from Wei Linye and the Wei family, and live a peaceful life of her own. But Wei Linye has never been as indifferent toward her as she believed. Cold, ruthless, and seemingly heartless, he has secretly desired her for years. Once he passes the imperial examination and gains power, he intends to make her his wife for life. He never expected her to run. And when he learns that she died in a devastating flood, he is forced to face the agony of a love that can never be recovered. Until one day, she appears before him again. For the first time, the notoriously cold and emotionless minister loses control, his eyes reddening in front of everyone. What Wei Linye doesn’t know is that Liu Muli survived the flood—and discovered that she was pregnant. She seizes the chance to make him believe she died, then disappears with their child, determined to live a quiet life where he can never find her. Five years later, fate brings them face-to-face once more. Liu Muli immediately decides to hide from him for a while, planning to return after he leaves. But when she prepares to leave the city, she discovers that the gates have been sealed and soldiers have surrounded the entire city. She has been caught. And inside the room where she is brought, the walls are covered with portraits of her. Wei Linye looks at her, his obsession no longer hidden. “You ran for five years. And now, A-Li, you want to abandon me again?” “Alive, we share the same bed. Dead, we share the same grave.” His gaze is dark and possessive. “My wife, you will never have another chance to escape me.” A bright, independent village widow who wants nothing to do with him × a cold, ruthless, dangerously obsessive powerful minister who has been waiting for her all along. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Widow Reborn: She Flees with Her Child, Leaving the Powerful Minister Weeping at Her Grave — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
