By the Time Spring Was in Full Bloom, My Flowers Had Faded

Everyone in the elite circles has heard about Lu Chengyuan's two “peculiarities.”

First, he's infertile. Second, his wife, Su Wantang, was born exceptionally fertile.

So everyone was waiting to laugh at me. I had married into the Lu family, but I probably wouldn't even be able to give them an heir.

But no one expected me to get pregnant twenty times in three years, only for each pregnancy to end abruptly just before I was due to give birth.

Every time, Lu Chengyuan would comfort me with red-rimmed eyes. “It's fate, Wantang. We'll have children someday.”

Until I overheard Lu Chengyuan talking to the doctor.

“Those children were all incompatible with Niannian's birth chart. They couldn't be allowed to live.”

“Weiwei gave birth to Niannian for me. I can't let her and her child down.”

Weiwei was his adopted younger sister, Lu Zhiwei.

And Niannian was their child!

That day, I did two things.

First, I called my mother, who was far away in Country F, and told her I'd be coming home in half a month.

Second, I put the signed divorce papers in a gift box for him to open in half a month.
