Rebirth: My Reclusive Husband Helps Me Get Revenge!

“An illegitimate child will always be an outsider.” For Yu Lixue, life in the Yu family was one of endless humiliation. As the unwanted daughter with no mother to defend her, she was treated like a pawn, used, ignored, and discarded. Her talents—her paintings, her songs—were stolen by her stepmother and conniving half-sister, who claimed them as their own. Her life was a series of shadows and silence, living under their lies. But when her half-sister fled an arranged marriage with Mo Ran, a powerful but reclusive man, the family forced Lixue to take her place. Once again, her wishes were disregarded. Her marriage to Mo Ran was cold, distant—another prison she had no choice but to endure. Until the night she died in a mysterious accident, her pleas for justice buried along with her. Yet fate gave her a second chance. Reborn into the same world that betrayed her, Lixue returns with a vow: she will take back everything they stole—her art, her voice, her freedom. And when she reenters her marriage with Mo Ran, he surprises her with a proposition: he will help her get revenge against those who wronged her. But Lixue is wary. Why is this man, who barely showed her any warmth before, now offering to stand by her side? As they plot against the Yu family, Lixue realizes that Mo Ran has his own reasons for revenge. Their alliance begins to blur the line between ally and enemy, and she questions whether he’s truly on her side or if he has his own hidden agenda. In a world filled with deceit and betrayal, Yu Lixue must decide: will she risk trusting her husband, or will she forge her own path to reclaim what’s hers, no matter the cost? Excerpt: Lixue stared down at the steaming bowl of soup on the table, blinking in surprise. Mo Ran placed it before her with a steady hand, his usual calm expression softened just slightly by a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. She tried to catch his gaze, but he’d already turned away, busying himself with the teapot. “Why are you…?” she murmured, glancing between the bowl and him, her voice trailing off. He looked up, meeting her eyes with a hint of amusement. “Why am I what?” She fumbled for words, her cheeks warming. “Why are you…being so nice to me?” A small smile played on his lips, barely there but just enough to leave her heart fluttering. “Is it so strange for a husband to be kind to his wife?” She opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out. The Mo Ran she remembered from her past life had been as cold as winter, never sparing her a second glance. This new version of him, warm and considerate, left her feeling…confused. “Eat,” he said, his voice soft. “You didn’t eat much at breakfast.” She nodded, taking the spoon with a slight tremor in her fingers. The soup was rich, comforting—something she would have loved as a child. The warmth of it melted away a part of her guardedness, leaving her strangely vulnerable. As she set down her spoon, she glanced at him again, still puzzled. “What’s gotten into you, Mo Ran?” “…” “Let’s just say I want to spoil you my darling..” Extra tags: #Rebirth#FaceSlapping #SchemingSister #ColdHusbandTurnedSweet#EnemiesToLovers#IllegitimateDaughter

Who did this?

"The dress is pretty but taking it off is a different case.."

Lixue breathed out as she finally managed to remove the corset. She could once again, breathe properly.

"Do you need some help.."

Lixue jumped as she felt Mo Ran's lips near her ear, her mouth twitching, his hands were already on the dress.

"You're already doing it, I can't say no.."

Mo Ran was quiet, his fingers trailing down her waist. He loosened the belt and he could feel Lixue breathe out.

His fingers found the zipper next, trailing it down gently, he admired her milky white skin. But the scars on it were unbelievably noticeable.

"Who did this…"

Mo Ran finally spoke, as Lixue raised her head, confused for a second before understanding what he meant.

"Life is tough when you're an illegitimate child. Things don't always go your way when you don't have a mother to back you up…"

The dress fell down with a plop, as Lixue's hands quickly reacted to cover her body.

"Don't…" Mo Ran muttered as his hands moved "Your body is beautiful.." Lixue frowned as she forced herself to turn, something was wrong. This isn't the Mo Ran was familiar with.

"What's wrong?"

She noticed the redness on his face and sighed, didn't he say he was going for ye when did it turn to alcohol.

Mo Ran hugged Lixue, now with their positions turned, Lixue could no longer see Mo Ran's face, likewise him so she couldn't see the menacing expression in his face when he said "I swear, the next person that would dare to even touch a strand of your hair….i would make their life hell on earth…"

Lixue shivered, she wanted to break out of his embrace but he tightened his hold.

"Mo Ran…I can't breathe.."

Lixue tapped his shoulder lightly hoping he would loosen his hold. And he did after two breaths.

"Get some rest, I'll be busy tomorrow…we won't see much of each other.."

After that, Mo Ran turned and walked out of the room.

Lixue blinked, what was going on with him? She sighed as she gathered the dress and walked back to her room. 

What's the point of sleeping in a matrimonial room without your partner? It was pointless.

40 minutes later, Lixue plopped down on the bed, she could finally relax again.

Ding! Ding! Ding! 

Lixue saw the notifications come in and out as she turned on the wifi. But a particular one caught her eye that made her quickly tap on it.

It was a message from Shi Haoyang.

Shi Haoyang.

Lixue patted her cheeks, feeling excited as she quickly replied to the email. She wanted to build her career until she was strong enough to take down Yu Jia in one full swoop. That's when she would reveal her identity but for now, she would remain the elusive Y.L Magnolia. 

"This is good, this is good…"

Lixue plopped down on the pillow, first she would take right of her song, then her art and then she would find her mother. 

The next morning, Mo Ran had already left when Lixue came downstairs.

"Good morning young madam, the master left early, I've made breakfast. Breadsticks, soy milk, wonton soup, dumplings, salad.."  she listed as she helped Lixue to the table.

"Thank you.."
