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..” Update- paused- To resume on the 13th.

Where was Mo Ran

Lixue sat at the table, savoring the warm aroma of freshly prepared breakfast. Despite the peaceful atmosphere, her mind buzzed with thoughts of the email from Dream Entertainment.

As she bit into a dumpling, the maid brought over her phone. "Young madam, this arrived earlier—Mr. Mo instructed me to hand it to you."

Lixue's eyes flicked to the phone, curiosity sparking. She unlocked the screen and noticed a message from Mo Ran.

Mo Ran:

I'll be back late tonight. If you need anything, let the staff know. Take care.

She stared at the message, her lips pressing into a thin line. His tone was polite, distant even, like they were acquaintances rather than a married couple.

Lixue sighed, setting the phone aside as she returned to her meal. Whatever was going on with Mo Ran would have to wait. She had her own priorities now, and Dream Entertainment was a step closer to achieving her goals.

After breakfast, Lixue prepared herself for the day. She chose a simple but elegant outfit—a white blouse paired with a tailored beige skirt. She styled her hair into soft waves, letting it frame her face naturally.

By 11:30 a.m., she was in the car, her heart racing as she clutched the folder containing her music scores.

When she arrived at Dream Entertainment, the building's sleek, modern exterior gleamed under the sunlight. Lixue hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. The lobby was bustling with activity—trainees rushing to practice rooms, staff members discussing schedules.

A receptionist greeted her with a smile. "Good afternoon. You must be Y.L. Magnolia. Please head to the third floor, room 305. Mr. Shi is waiting for you."

Lixue nodded, adjusting her mask, thanking her before heading to the elevator.

In room 305, Shi Haoyang was already seated with two other individuals—one a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, the other a younger woman with a friendly demeanor.

"Miss Magnolia!" Haoyang greeted, rising from his seat. "You're right on time. Let me introduce you to Mr. Xu, our creative director, and Miss Zhang, our vocal coach."

Lixue offered a polite smile, bowing slightly. "It's an honor to meet you."

Mr. Xu studied her for a moment before gesturing to the piano in the corner. "We've heard good things about you. Let's see what you've got. Play something that represents your style."

Taking a deep breath, Lixue walked to the piano. She adjusted the seat and placed her fingers on the keys. Closing her eyes, she began to play—a soft, melancholic melody that transitioned into a powerful crescendo. Her voice joined the music, clear and emotive, filling the room with a haunting beauty.

When she finished, the silence that followed was almost deafening.

Miss Zhang was the first to speak. "Your voice… it's rare. Unique. You have an emotional depth that's hard to find."

Mr. Xu nodded, though his expression remained unreadable. "You've got talent. But talent isn't enough in this industry. Are you prepared for the work, the pressure, the constant scrutiny?"

Lixue met his gaze, her determination unwavering. "I am."

He leaned back in his chair, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Good. Welcome to Dream Entertainment."

Haoyang grinned, clapping his hands. "Congratulations! Let's finalize the paperwork, and we can discuss your debut strategy."

As the meeting wrapped up, Lixue felt a surge of confidence. This was the first step toward reclaiming her identity and her future.

When she returned home later that evening, the house was as quiet as she had left it. Mo Ran still wasn't back.

She changed into more comfortable clothes, settling on the couch with her laptop. Her mind raced with ideas for her music and the next steps in her plan.

But as the hours ticked by and the shadows grew longer, she found herself glancing at the door.

Where was Mo Ran?

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the main door opening. She straightened, expecting to see him walk in, but the figure that entered wasn't Mo Ran.

It was one of his assistants, carrying a small package.

"Young madam," the assistant said, bowing. "The master asked me to deliver this to you. He said it's something important."

Lixue frowned, taking the package. Once the assistant left, she opened it carefully. Inside was a simple note in Mo Ran's handwriting:

"Thought this would look good on you."

Beneath the note was a small box. Lixue opened it to find a delicate necklace—a single sapphire stone set in silver.

She stared at it, her heart was filled with a mix of emotions. What was he trying to say?

As she held the necklace in her hand, her thoughts drifted to the strange, fleeting moments of warmth between them, the cracks in his otherwise cold demeanor.

For now, she would wait. Answers would come in time.
