His original wife

Li Yanyong and Lin Zhaoxue were a young couple, once deeply in love.

However, youthful affection couldn’t withstand the erosion of time.

In the years after their marriage, Lin Zhaoxue managed the household, raised their children, and endured the grievances from her in-laws and sisters-in-law, swallowing her bitterness. She single-handedly took care of the entire family, guarding their home front for him, working tirelessly and worrying incessantly.

Li Yanyong, however, was cold and uncaring, never showing concern for her. He was completely engrossed in his official duties, oblivious to her hardships and sacrifices at home.

Because of his coldness, she argued with him several times, only to find their marital bed growing colder and colder, their relationship becoming as frigid as ice.

When Li Yanyong finally achieved success in his career and became a high-ranking official, Lin Zhaoxue, worn out from overwork and heartache, eventually died from overexertion.

For many years, Li Yanyong, who had been unwilling to yield and immersed in his official duties, finally understood Lin Zhaoxue’s suffering. For the first time, his proud demeanor crumbled:

“It was my fault. I neglected her.”

He finally realized his remorse as she lay dying, filled with regret.

Fortunately, five years later, she was revived.

Filled with excitement, she sought out her husband, the man she had always trusted, even through hardships—

Only to see her husband, who had always prioritized his career and been cold and uncaring, softly and gently wiping the sweat from his new wife’s brow.

Lin Zhaoxue was stunned.

Li Yanyong, taught a harsh lesson by her death, had truly changed his cold nature, becoming incredibly considerate and caring towards his wife.

But all that care and consideration was lavished on another woman.

Unlike Lin Zhaoxue, who was worn down and aged prematurely.

Li Yanyong didn’t let his new wife suffer even a fraction of the grievances Lin Zhaoxue had endured, spoiling her—

Making her proud, carefree, and radiant in her youth.
