Description
The Once-Powerful Duke’s Household Has Fallen! The only remaining young master, Shen Xuan, was taken back to Yunshui Village by his wet nurse. He accidentally fell into the water and became a half-witted little fool! Without the Duke’s Mansion as his backing, Shen Xuan became a burden living under someone else’s roof. He was tormented by the wet nurse’s Wang family, his skin rough and dark, living worse than a beggar! People in the village all said that a ger like Shen Xuan wasn’t even good enough for the old bachelors in the village! Unexpectedly, in his eighteenth year, people from the Xue family of the Marquisate, who hadn’t been heard from in many years, suddenly arrived. They presented a marriage contract, declaring that Shen Xuan had been betrothed to Xue family’s eldest son, Xue Fenglin, in his childhood, and they were here to take him back for the wedding! *** Xue Fenglin, the elegant and distinguished young master, was actually being forced to marry a foolish ger! Countless noble daughters and gers in the capital had their hearts broken! Everyone knew that the current Marquiss’ wife was not Xue Fenglin’s biological mother and had been at odds with him for years. Clearly, she had dug up this marriage agreement with a “foolish ger” just to humiliate him! Facing this arranged marriage set by his birth mother when she was alive, a glint flashed in Xue Fenglin’s eyes, but no emotion could be seen on his face. He made time to go to the separate courtyard, quietly circling to the back of Shen Xuan’s room. He was just about to poke a hole in the window paper to secretly peek at this little ger- Creak— The window opened from inside. Shen Xuan, clutching a small bundle, was halfway out the window when he bump into Xue Fenglin, terror written all over his face! Xue Fenglin: … Shen Xuan, who was about to sneak away: … *** After falling into the water, Shen Xuan’s soul had transmigrated to the modern world, where he was raised with love and care by wealthy, prestigious parents and even graduated from a top university. When Shen Xuan woke up, he found himself transmigrated back again, and was about to be used as a tool for a family power struggle! And marry the young master of the Xue family! Shen Xuan: Being single is great. Actually, Young Master, you don’t necessarily have to marry me… Xue Fenglin: The marriage contract is proof, it’s a match made by our parents and the matchmaker. You are my fiancé!

My Thoughts on After Being Divorced, the Heir Begged Me to Be His Husband
"After Being Divorced, the Heir Begged Me to Be His Husband" promised a blend of drama, slice-of-life, and yaoi set in ancient China, and I went in hoping for a compelling story. While it has its moments, it ultimately left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.
First Impressions
The premise is certainly intriguing: a transmigrated MC navigating the complexities of an arranged marriage, divorce, and subsequent business ventures in a historical setting. I was ready for political intrigue, heartwarming slice-of-life moments, and a captivating romance. However, the initial setup felt a little rushed, and I found myself wanting more depth in the world-building.
What Works Well
The novel does offer a satisfying sense of closure. The narrative provides a sense of retribution, even if it isn’t outright revenge. I appreciated that each character receives an ending, which speaks to the author's commitment to wrapping up loose ends. The story’s exploration of the MC's past traumas and his complicated relationship with the Emperor added a layer of emotional depth. I also enjoyed that the story wasn't solely focused on business; the inclusion of elements like murder, torture, and the nuances of different social classes made the world feel more alive.
Areas of Concern
One of my main issues was the lack of depth in character development. The MC, despite his complex background of transmigration and past life trauma, often felt detached and bland. I wanted to see more introspection, more emotional connection to his past lives, and a clearer motivation behind his actions. The ease with which the MC achieves business success also felt a little unrealistic, bordering on a "lazy rural people" trope that I found somewhat off-putting. The relationships, including the central romance, could have benefited from more nuance and emotional exploration.

Final Verdict
"After Being Divorced, the Heir Begged Me to Be His Husband" has potential, but ultimately falls short of being a truly memorable read. While it offers a complete story with satisfying conclusions for its characters, the lack of depth in character development and world-building prevents it from reaching its full potential. I'd give it a cautious recommendation for readers who enjoy historical slice-of-life with a focus on business, but be prepared for a somewhat bland and detached protagonist.
