Rebirth: Marrying a Coquettish and Useless Husband

In his previous life, Feng Yue was exploited by the brother he trusted most. After his brother ascended the throne, he began eliminating perceived threats. Accused of treason, Feng Yue had his legs amputated at the knees before the imperial court and was exiled to the bitterly cold Beichuan for ten years. During these ten years, he was betrayed and abandoned by everyone; only his male wife, Wei Xiaofeng, remained unwaveringly by his side. Yet, Feng Yue had initially married him with ulterior motives and had never treated him well afterward… Wei Xiaofeng, the fifth son of a family from the Ministry of Personnel in the capital, was known as a notorious pushover (or: good-for-nothing, weakling). He cried at the slightest provocation, would merely sulk when bullied, couldn’t carry heavy loads, and possessed neither literary talent nor any practical skills. Yet, it was this seemingly useless man, unable to endure hardship, who accompanied Feng Yue through immense suffering in Beichuan. Those ten years were indescribably harsh. After Feng Yue died, this man, seen by all as spoiled and weak, calmly arranged his husband’s funeral. Carrying Feng Yue’s ashes, he traveled thousands of miles to the Emperor’s palace, ready to die, seeking justice for his husband. “My husband was a hero! Why did you all betray him?” Enraged, the Emperor had him executed on the spot. Feng Yue’s spirit watched helplessly as Wei Xiaofeng died before his eyes, the pain twisting within him like knives. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned thirteen years earlier, to the very beginning of the struggle for the throne. Feng Yue swore that this time, he would seize power firmly and ascend to the supreme position! And this time, he would also protect his male wife and ensure his well-being.
