The Divorced Woman Is the General's Wife

On our wedding day, my husband went off to war, so I held a rooster while we performed the wedding rites.

Though I had never learned how to manage a household, I took on the accounts and cared for my mother-in-law, spending most of my dowry to keep the family afloat.

A year later, the general returned in triumph and demanded that I give up my place as his principal wife for his new love.

He even said that a mere housewife like me could never compare to her spirited, heroic bearing.

I laughed. I was willing to wash my hands and cook for you, Jiang Chengyu, but that doesn’t mean I can’t wield a spear.

I thought one divorce agreement would let us part ways in peace and find happiness apart.

Who could have guessed the general would regret it? With red-rimmed eyes, he knelt outside my residence and begged me to forgive him.

Before I could say a word, the heir of the Lu family behind me had had enough.

“Get lost!”
