My Contract Wife Outshines My first Love

In his past life, Huo Che fell madly in love with Xia Yunqian and pursued her relentlessly for eight long years. His devotion was met with cruel betrayal. Xia Yunqian falsely accused him of murder, and Huo Che was sentenced to death. His wrongful conviction shattered his parents’ hearts and brought lasting disgrace to his entire clan. Consumed by regret and rage in his final moments, he regretted ever loving her. Reborn back to the turning point of his fate, Huo Che swore to never repeat the same tragic mistakes. He made up his mind to cut all ties with Xia Yunqian completely. He drafted a settlement document to settle scores and wipe the slate clean between them, severing every emotional bond. No more obsession, no more foolish tenderness for the woman who ruined him. Shortly afterward, Huo Che entered a marriage alliance with Meng Shichu. What began as a mere arranged union slowly bloomed into genuine love. After tying the knot, the pair spent more time together and grew increasingly fond of one another. They learned to understand, trust and care for each other, building a warm, stable life side by side. Their peaceful married life stood in stark contrast to the chaos of his previous life.
