After Abandoning My Husband and Daughter, My Whole Family Regretted It

Six months pregnant, I watched as my husband’s favored companion, Song Qingxue, smashed my beloved cat into a bloody pulp and threw it into the courtyard.

I rushed at Song Qingxue and slapped her, but the shock and grief caused me to miscarry.

The doctor said I had not been properly cared for when I gave birth to my daughter, and the illness had taken root in my body. I would probably never be able to conceive again.

Yet my husband and daughter accused me of deliberately letting the cat out to scratch Song Qingxue’s hands, hands skilled with both sword and spear.

I asked for a divorce, but they thought I was just throwing a tantrum. They assumed that once I had suffered enough out in the world, I would come crawling back. They even tried to seize my dowry to “make me return.”

They thought they could manipulate me at will. But when I appeared before them with my new child and husband, they fell apart, dropped to their knees, and begged me to come back.
