Synopsis

[Cast aside + face-slapping + comeback]

Su Li was the legitimate daughter of the Su family.

After ten years of marriage, she had borne no children.

One day, a woman passed by wearing a hairpin that belonged to Su Li.

Her mother-in-law never missed her monthly prayer visit on the fifteenth, but behind the scenes she was bringing along all sorts of jewelry and tonics.

Every so often, her husband went to her dowry storeroom to pick out treasures, any one of which was worth a thousand taels of silver.

Su Li wanted for nothing. Every day, she hid among the rockeries, feeding fish and keeping birds.

When she found out the truth, she finally saw the light: some people’s wolfish ambitions were impossible to miss.

Then she would divorce him.

Her mother-in-law pointed at her and shouted, “What man doesn’t take three wives and four concubines? It’s been ten years! Even a chicken can lay eggs, but you can’t. Are you trying to leave the Chu family without an heir?”

Her husband sneered. “You’re so jealous. I’m the only one who could put up with you.”

Her sister-in-law said, “Once you leave my brother, who would ever want you? What man in the world doesn’t fool around?”

Let him fool around, then!

Everyone waited to see her reduced to misery.

Too bad for them, she wasn’t someone they could push around!

After the divorce, her life couldn’t have been more comfortable!

No Rebirth, No Transmigration, No Golden Finger, Just a Classic Historical Romance With the Right Values

I want an ancient setting with palace intrigue and household drama. No one being reborn or transmigrating, and no System. I don't want an especially strong female or male lead. I like stories where the couple are evenly matched and the male lead is the crown prince. Both leads should be good-looking, intelligent, and have sound values!
