The 1980s: The Cold, Brilliant Engineer Has a Surprisingly Strong Waist

Su Yao had just slapped the divorce papers down on the table when she awakened in a dream.

The good news: She was stunningly beautiful, her husband was a promising senior engineer, and they had two adorable children.

The bad news: She was the “foil” villainess in a tearjerker novel set in a bygone era.

The heroine was her cousin, whose motto was “suffering is a blessing.” She lived in a cowshed, dug for wild herbs, and in the end moved heaven and earth with her hardships.

Su Yao, meanwhile, despised her husband for being unromantic and only giving her money. She made his life hell, became a miserable cast-off, and died a violent death.

After waking, Su Yao looked at her top-notch husband, Lu Xingzhou, standing before her in a white shirt with his cold, ascetic air. Then she glanced at the thick stack of his wages in his hand, all handed over to her.

Divorce? Not a chance! How was this cold treatment? This was a once-in-a-lifetime catch: rich, quiet, and long-lived (scratch that), with a body in perfect shape!

Her cousin loved suffering? Great, they could stay together forever!

Su Yao decided that in this life, she would wear the brightest dresses, spend money like there was no tomorrow, and sleep with the wildest man!

But... wasn’t he supposed to be aloof, ascetic, and completely unromantic?

Why did he turn into a different person as soon as the lights went out, leaving her unable to get out of bed?!

Lu Xingzhou gripped her waist, the corners of his eyes red. “Do you still want a divorce?”

Su Yao’s legs went weak as she begged for mercy. “No more divorce. My husband is the best!”
