A second chance with my billionaire husband

Everyone says marriage is the grave of love, but what is a marriage without love?

It’s Hell.

She no longer wanted to think about what happened afterwards; every revisit felt like her flesh was being forcefully ripped apart, bloodied, accompanied by a pain that pierced her bones.

Her calmness and relief were just a facade because she was used to not letting anyone see her pain; she would lick her wounds alone at midnight.

At the beginning of the marriage, Ruan Wencheng indeed obeyed her every wish, making her mistakenly believe that living a plain life with him wouldn’t be so bad. But she forgot, a dog can’t stop itself from eating feces; expecting a man who is inherently promiscuous to be faithful in marriage is like believing a pig can climb a tree.

Fortunately, she guarded her own heart. But her indifference only incited that man’s anger and dissatisfaction; her endurance led to his increasingly egregious harm. Too tired, she was truly exhausted...

Yet that man was unwilling to let go; he once said, even in death, he could only die by her side.

Such a marriage was more terrifying than Hell.

When did they completely break off from each other?

He had a childhood cousin, Ruyue, with whom he developed an intense forbidden love, thoroughly disgusting her. That woman had no looks, no talent, no family background, yet she had full schemes and determination to win over Ruan Wencheng. Ruan Wencheng was infatuated with her, immersed in the thrill of their forbidden love. Those concubines were mere stand-ins for that woman, and the children born from those outside relationships were all hers. Ruan Wencheng, for the sake of that woman, even dared to defy the whole world, making her believe that perhaps, this man did have true affection...

Later she realized how laughable her thought was.

She never wanted children. She didn’t want her child to be born into such a distorted family, with such an irresponsible father. But his arrival was a surprise; she originally intended to abort him, but on the way to the hospital, she fled in panic. Perhaps this was a gift from the heavens, and she would spend her life loving this child.

After Xi’er was born, for some unknown reason, Ruan Wencheng returned more frequently. She vaguely sensed something was amiss, but to give the child a complete life, she tolerated the man’s hypocrisy in front of her and the child.

Ruyue finally sensed the crisis. She knew she couldn’t become Mrs. Ruan with her status; all she wanted was wealth and luxury and the man’s love. She could tolerate Mrs. Ruan’s presence but couldn’t endure Ruan Wencheng’s heart being with Mrs. Ruan.

So she used herself as bait, intending to make her completely fall from favor in front of Ruan Wencheng. She silently resolved the scheme. At that time, she once thought that if Ruan Wencheng could truly reform and return to the family, she would be willing to trust him once more for the sake of the child.

However, she overlooked how maniacal a woman’s jealousy could become. That day... that woman’s body gracefully fell from the second floor, like a delicate lotus blooming in its most decadent form, forever becoming the cinnabar mole on Ruan Wencheng’s heart.

She stood by the second-floor window, speechless, her heart sinking completely into an abyss.

"Zhuang Fanxing, you’ve lost." As the woman fell, she smiled at her, her eyes filled with vicious and frenzied laughter.

Yes, she lost, utterly convinced of her defeat.

She wouldn’t gamble with her life just to prove that man’s love or to utterly destroy her rival.

"Cousin... don’t blame Sister Xing... it’s my fault... cough, cough." More and more blood spilled from the girl’s lips, making her stunning in a hauntingly poignant way.

In those clear, captivating eyes, there was a deep unwillingness and passion, "Cousin... I... I’m about to die, you must love our child well... Loving you in this life, I have no regrets... Cousin...."

With perfect acting, she completely became an untouchable scar in Ruan Wencheng’s heart.

The man stormed in furiously, reaching out to strangle her without a word: "Bitch, go and pay for her life."

She didn’t explain, nor did she cry, only looked at him with ridicule. So tired, if she could die like this, it would undoubtedly be a relief.

Ruyue, with your death, you completed my ruthlessness. You are a great person.

At that moment, he truly wanted to strangle her. She even felt at one point that one foot was already stepping into the Ghost Gate.

"Papa, Mama, what are you doing?" The trembling voice of a little boy came from the door.
