After We Switched Souls, I Divorced Myself

A huge scandal breaks out in the capital. Jiang Huaian, fresh from victory on the battlefield, resolutely divorces his wife, Su Lanyue, in front of the people of the city.

When the people hear about it, they all rush to the Marquis of Pingwu’s residence to watch the spectacle.

Seeing the crowd, Jiang Huaian speaks up loudly:

“I am grateful to General Su for graciously agreeing to give her daughter, Su, in marriage to me, Jiang Huaian.

Ever since she married me, I have spent most of my time away at war.

At home, Su took care of every matter, great and small, in the household.

However… my mother was cruel and repeatedly abused Su. She even hid silver needles in the rush mat she had to kneel on as punishment.

She deliberately colluded with the family physician to ruin Su’s reputation.

I cannot repay the debt I owe my mother for giving birth to me, and Su is a good woman. To keep her from suffering alongside me, with His Majesty’s approval, I have been granted permission to divorce Su.

To make up for the grievances she has endured, everything granted by His Majesty will be given to Su as compensation.

I hope everyone understands that this divorce is not Su’s fault. I, Jiang Huaian, am incapable of repaying my mother’s kindness, and I cannot bear to watch Su suffer.

I hope Su finds a better match after our divorce.”

Su Lanyue shakes her head desperately and says:

“No, I don’t want a divorce! Yue’er, I know I was wrong!”

Everyone is confused. Jiang Huaian glances at Su Lanyue and explains:

“My mother drove Su mad, which is why she’s babbling nonsense.”

Everyone understands.

Su Lanyue is forcibly taken away by her family. As soon as the two are divorced, their souls switch back.

It turns out Su Lanyue and Jiang Huaian had swapped souls, and Su Lanyue used Jiang Huaian’s body to divorce herself.

What happened between them to make Su Lanyue determined to leave Jiang Huaian?
