The Cold-Hearted Marshal Won’t Share Her Bed, So His Wife Runs Away and He Loses It

In the Republican era, warlords fought for control. On the day Shen Hanyan returned from studying abroad, her profit-hungry family handed her over to Jiang Ji, the fourth young master of the Jingnan warlord family. Rumor had it that Jiang Ji was decisive, a womanizer, and cold-hearted. Bound by a marriage contract, the fourth young master found fault with Shen Hanyan, the wife chosen for him, at every turn. Jiang Ji considered Shen Hanyan a burden, while Shen Hanyan treated Jiang Ji as a stepping stone in her career. He told her, "I've always hated people who've had a Western education." Yet he himself had studied abroad... He said, "No matter how hard you try, Shen Hanyan, I could never love you." Shen Hanyan was unfazed. "That's wonderful news!" Then one day, the governor's residence began complaining that Shen Hanyan had been married for some time without getting pregnant. Putting on a gentle, virtuous act, Shen Hanyan tried to sway Jiang Ji with reason and emotion. "Why don't you just bring home a child from somewhere else?" His gaze turned icy, and he replied sarcastically, "Have you ever fulfilled your duties as a wife?" At last, Shen Hanyan became pregnant, and joy suddenly lit up his handsome, stern face. Her expression was cold. "The child isn't yours."
