My Short-Lived Husband Refuses to Die

Tang Wan, the refined eldest daughter, was cornered by her conniving stepmother and forced into a marriage with the infamous Fifth Master Jiang. Whispers painted him as a perverse, short-lived man, fated to die young, making her a pawn destined to be a quick widow or a tragic stepmother. Her future seemed bleak, a sacrifice for her family's fading prestige. But from their first, chilling encounter, Fifth Master Jiang shattered every expectation. He wasn't merely sick; he was a brilliant, ruthless enigma who refused to die. With a flick of his wrist and a cold, commanding smile, he silenced her conniving step-family, turning their smugness into abject fear. Her arranged marriage quickly transformed into an unexpected empire of unparalleled pampering, a two-way obsession forged in the fires of mutual interest and undeniable chemistry. Years passed, children were born, and the man who was supposed to fade away thrived, his power and possessiveness only deepening. Tang Wan, who once yearned for widowhood, found herself utterly bewildered. Why isn't he dead yet? The man everyone thought was a short-lived ghost might just be her eternal, dangerously alluring demon, pulling her deeper into his world with every passing day.
