Married to his secret crush

Enigmatic and wealthy, Jun Zixuan is the epitome of perfection. He has everything and that includes a suicidal and scheming wife whom he hates to the core until one day when she pours a glass of juice on him, her poison-laced words and countless insults following behind. That's where it starts. He could not take his eyes off her. Was he a masochist? What just happened?! With beauty, brains, and an endless bank balance, she has been living her best life until she is assassinated on her birthday. Waking up in the body of a scheming and penniless woman was more unacceptable for her and to top it off, she has a husband who happens to be her old friend. Just that, he acts like an entirely different person now. She settles on a master plan. Lose weight first, make money, get a divorce, settle the people who killed her, and find a way to go back to her brother. But wait...why is this cold and unapproachable husband acting like a white lotus? What is she going to do with her plans if this stunning husband refuses to let her go? ... "I want a divorce," She indifferently said. "Fine," the man coldly responded without any shift in his expression. One month later: "When are we getting divorced?" She asked calmly, not wanting to deal with a moody husband anymore. She just wanted to be done with her revenge first, then find her brother and live a carefree life like before. His gaze darkened, "The procedure is going on." Three months later: "Jun Zixuan, where the heck is our divorce paper?!" She finally lost her patience and snapped at him. One of his arms wrapped around her waist as he pulled her closer, "Are you that eager to leave me?" he asked, sadness flickered on his face despite that indifferent look. "Yes." "Oh? So sad," The man narrowed his eyes, his lips tilted up in a crafty smile before he continued, "The lawyers said that our case is a complicated one, it might take them a lifetime to draft the divorce papers."

I don't give a damn about him

She frowned. Tilting her head towards the side, she glanced at the man who was sitting with the purple rose on his lap. His face was propped up on his hand as he looked out of the window.

So, he did notice that she was injured and even asked Steward Gu to give her the first-aid kit.

"Thank…"

The man interrupted her, "Don't bother. Mom will be upset if you die from an infection." The man even stroked the rose that he stole from her.

"You…" He must be riling her up on purpose. Speechlessly, she closed her eyes before taking a deep breath.

It's fine. It's fine. The world is still beautiful after all. I should not lose my temper.

When they stepped inside the mansion, Yu Mei found herself rooted to the spot as she looked at the luggage being carried inside along with expensive furniture. She stopped the first man who was carrying two suitcases with him along with a large trolley.

"What's going on? Whose luggage is this…?" No…No…This can't be happening. No. Never!

The servant politely answered "This is Master's luggage. He is moving in from today onwards."

She opened her mouth and closed it, "Do you live at Ren Mansion?" The question blurted out of her mouth.

"I don't live here," The man politely answered, "I have a small house nearby. I live with my wife and children there."

"Is there a vacant room?" She asked.

"Ah?" The man was confused.

"Is there?" She asked again to which the man finally nodded his head. 

The guest room in his house was vacant but why was the Master's wife asking about it?

"How much is the rent? I'll pay it by cash," The old man's confused expression morphed into shock while she added, "When would you leave? I'll get ready and pack my luggage."

The old man was speechless. What in the world are you talking about?

His gaze landed on the man standing behind her and he frantically shook his head, "Miss Yu, that…my house is very dirty. You would not be able to adjust there."

"I'll clean your house," She said in utmost seriousness.

The old man was dumbstruck.

Jun Zixuan coldly looked at the back of her head.

Only if looks could kill, it would have been time for her second death already.

Frightened by his aura, the man in his early sixties ended up stuttering, "M-Miss Yu…I…My wife is pregnant. We are preparing that room for our youngest child."

Her starry eyes dimmed slightly.

With a soft sigh, she looked at him, "Congrats. I wish you a lot of happiness with the arrival of the new member in the family." With that, she walked upstairs without looking back.

Looking at her genuine expressions and heartfelt wishes, the old man felt very guilty but given her identity as Master's wife, he would never dare to take her in as a tenant.

 He glanced towards his Master to observe his expression but the man walked past him with a nonchalant expression on his.

"_" Steward Gu found himself speechless for a few good minutes.

"Go, do your job properly," He ordered the old man who nodded and left.

After freshening up and changing into comfortable cotton pajamas, Yu Mei walked towards the mirror.

Her face was clear of every acne and pimple marks she once had. There was not even a single blemish on her skin but her weight…It was a huge burden on her. 

Even walking a few steps was making her feel numb.

The day after tomorrow, she was going to meet the gynecologist recommended by Shi Luo to ensure that she was not suffering from some disease that was making her fat.

Even after all this workout, she barely lost a few pounds and since the previous owner have never done a body checkup, it bothered her a little. Probably, she was being a little paranoid.

After that, she will go see a nutritionist.

Everything was fine but… "Maybe I should move in with Luoluo…." She murmured but then she remembered that her friend comes to Beijing once a month.

As she looked at her reflection, she raised her hand to gently stroke her cheeks. Was her face going to transform just like her eyes? She thought to herself.

But she snapped out of her daze when a red liquid flowed down her cheek. Her eyes widened when the thin line of blood became suspiciously thick.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she looked at her hand.

The gauze that was wrapped around her palm was soaking with blood as it slowly dripped on the floor. 

Stepping inside the walk-in closet, she hurriedly removed the gauze from her hand before.

The spots where her hand got pricked by the thorns were bleeding profusely.

She pulled out a thick baby pink towel from the rack before pressing it on her hand.

She closed her eyes to calm her racing heart.

She walked out of the walk-in closet before sitting on the king-sized bed with the towel tightly wrapped around her palm.

'Knock knock.'

"Who is it?" She asked calmly despite breaking out in cold sweat inwardly.

"Miss Yu, it's me. May I come in?" Steward Gu's asked as he slowly pushed the door.

"No, don't…" She took a deep breath before speaking calmly, "Don't come in, I am changing right now."

Steward Gu turned around and cleared his throat, "Miss Yu, it's time for dinner."

"I won't be eating. I am not hungry," She looked at the door, hoping that the man would go back.

"But Master…"

She interrupted him, "Master this Master that…I don't give a damn about him. Do I not have the freedom to decide whether I want to eat or not? Just get lost!" Her cold voice resounded in the whole room.

"I apologize for it. Just let me know when you are hungry," As soon as she heard the sound of retreating footsteps, she quickly stood up from the bed and locked the door.

The thick towel was completely soaked with her blood. She suddenly felt so weak to move. She leaned back on the door for support but her body swayed and she weakly slid down lying on the floor.

She could barely open her eyes. Drowsiness overwhelmed her senses as she closed her eyes.
