Snape's Twice-Lost Wife

Tang Ruiqi never expected the cold professor who made her scrub beetle pus glands for two years to propose marriage—without love. "I won't touch you. You can annul it anytime," Snape says, unable to meet her eyes. Six years of hostility, a loveless arrangement, and a war that changes everything. When Narcissa reveals the truth—that Ruiqi sacrificed a hero's widow status and a Potions Master's fortune to save him—Snape finally understands what he's been too blind to see. A time-travel romance where second chances come with a price, and love blooms in the darkest dungeons of Hogwarts.
