After the Wealthy Husband Faked His Death, I Stopped Acting

Ren Lu is a woman with both ambition and cunning. She spent three years transforming from a domineering CEO's secretary into a wealthy family's wife. Her in-laws liked her, her sisters-in-law were harmonious, and she was the standard noblewoman in high society; no one could disrupt her perfect persona.

Until her husband, Lu Sinian, disappeared at sea, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to drop the act. Her father-in-law was a male protagonist from a harem novel, her mother-in-law was a female appendage from a male-oriented novel, her sister-in-law ran away pregnant, and there were countless sworn enemies. Lu Sinian was an unfortunate soul unloved by his father and mother, disliked by his sister, whose family fortune was coveted by his sworn enemies; even a passing dog would bite him. Ren Lu was merely a tool to clean up his family's messes.

Everyone thought she had bet on the wrong horse. But it didn't matter, Ren Lu wasn't a good person either. From the beginning, she knew the entire plot. She came to Lu Sinian's side precisely to seize his inheritance. Now, the will she had him sign while whispering sweet nothings was ready to be brought out.

But happy times are always fleeting. Not long after she indulged in joyful revelry, her supposedly dead husband came back from the grave. As soon as he returned, he grabbed Ren Lu's chin and kissed her fiercely, transforming from a wronged male supporting character into a domineering CEO from a novel.
