After Marrying My Ex-Fiancé’s Younger Brother

Liu Chuirong, the second daughter of the Ding’an Marquis Manor, was unloved from a young age and sent to live with her maternal family in Qingzhou. She spent her days walking on eggshells, carefully watching others’ expressions, never daring to make a single mistake. When she returned to the capital to attend her eldest sister’s wedding, she accidentally fell into the water at the banquet, making a fool of herself. Instead of sympathy, she was slandered for secretly meeting a lover, utterly ruining her reputation. She thought her engagement to Shen Jia’s eldest son from the Duke of Wei’s household would be annulled. Unexpectedly, the one who saved her from the water was none other than Shen Jia’s second son. To preserve both families’ reputations, the marriage arrangement was switched—Liu Chuirong went from being Shen Jingzhi’s sister-in-law to becoming his wife. After marriage, they treated each other with respect. Liu Chuirong understood well that Shen Jingzhi had married her out of necessity—his heart already belonged to someone else. Fortunately, her mother-in-law treated her like a daughter, and she was content, never daring to hope for more. Shen Jingzhi, elegant and noble, was a cold and distant man. Despite his young age, he was already the commander of the Han Yasi (Cold Bureau), maintaining a detached demeanor toward everyone. Except when it came to Liu Chuirong. To the surprise of all who knew him, the ever-unshakable Shen Jingzhi seemed to have a soft spot for his wife. Yet, while the world saw the iron-hearted man finally moved, Liu Chuirong remained oblivious. In fact, she went so far as to personally arrange for him to take a concubine. When Shen Jingzhi returned from official business, his face darkened with fury. But before he could settle the score, Liu Chuirong had already packed her bags, looted the Duke of Wei’s household, and left to enjoy her freedom. Staring at the empty house, Shen Jingzhi felt his heart shatter—his long-lost “white moonlight” had once again slipped through his fingers. How could he let that happen? That very night, the usually composed Lord Shen personally led a search party and brought his runaway wife back, holding her close in his hands. Since she believed that people were unreliable and money was the only security, he offered her everything he had. He climbed the ranks step by step, ensuring she would one day hold the title of the Prime Minister’s wife—all just to have a place in her heart. Mini Theater: Rumors spread that Shen Jingzhi was taking a concubine. Liu Chuirong didn’t cry or protest. Instead, she silently packed her belongings—and conveniently cleaned out the Duke of Wei’s treasury. When Shen Jingzhi returned from court and saw the empty room, his heart sank. It felt as if his entire world had collapsed. Less than half a day later, before Liu Chuirong could even leave the capital, Shen Jingzhi tracked her down with her bag and all. The tall man cornered her against the wall, leaned in close, and whispered, “Who said I wanted a concubine? In this lifetime, I will only ever marry you.” The next day, after a sleepless night, Liu Chuirong had only one thought: Never, ever mess with Shen Jingzhi, that insufferable man!
