Medicine Couldn’t Save My Marriage, but Law Sent My Ex to Prison

As a top surgeon, Shen Yuanmeng could save her patients, but not herself.

The woman her husband cherished in his heart was the thorn she couldn’t pull from their marriage.

“Shen Yuanmeng, aren’t you the best doctor? You can’t even handle something this small?”

As she looked at the cold man before her, she finally decided to stop loving him.

When the once-brilliant doctor left medicine to become a lawyer, everyone waited to see her make a fool of herself.

Gu Yan was even more dismissive. “What do you think you can do without me?”

Later, when Shen Yuanmeng stood before him as the plaintiff’s lawyer and personally put him in the dock, he regretted everything.

Sorry, some people are bound to succeed at whatever they do.

“I’ve never felt very secure, so I’d rather put my enemies in prison with my own hands.”

Turn your ex-husband’s sordid past into the achievement that makes your name.

You betrayed me, so now I’m going to climb to the top on your back.

1. This story is based on real life. I originally wrote it as a short piece after a friend’s love-brain antics drove me crazy. But by the time I, a chronic procrastinator, finished it, my friend still hadn’t come to her senses. So it grew from 20,000 to 200,000 words, and there will be endings A and B.

2. Actually, the ending I had planned wasn’t A or B. It was C, the one mentioned in the blurb.

But real life ended badly, and my heroine and I parted ways.

I couldn’t write ending C, because life rarely goes as we wish.

She burned the past to ashes. Only after I felt the pain in my fingertips did I realize that I, too, was a tiny part of her past.

3. You were brave and fearless. I won’t deny the happy moments that gave you the strength to survive and keep going. Goodbye forever.
