A Dream of Spring Court: The Madam Won’t Take Her Ex Back

Xie Chi obeys his parents’ wishes and marries Ye Chuxiang.

But he doesn’t love her. He even thinks that a mere merchant’s daughter is unworthy of his status as the heir to a marquis’s estate.

Still, because she manages the household well and is obedient and sensible, he grudgingly allows her to keep her position as his wife.

Then he meets the woman who truly understands him, the love of his life. Unwilling to settle any longer, he decides to demote his wife to a concubine.

But she submits a letter of separation and asks to leave of her own accord.

Xie Chi doesn’t think much of it. She loves him so much that she’ll come back on her own before long.

But one day passes, then two, then three months… He never gets the change of heart he’s been waiting for.

When he sees her again, she is accompanied by another man, the two of them inseparable. The man looks at her with tender affection.

From then on, Xie Chi loses his appetite and can’t sleep at night.
