Contract Marriage: The Useless Son-in-Law Clings to His Wife, and Both Their True Identities Are Exposed

Newly crowned top scholar Ma Tianyun turned faithless as soon as he passed the exams. He divorced Zhao Lili, his wife from humble beginnings as a butcher’s daughter, climbed the social ladder, and married a beautiful new love, casting his first wife aside like a worn-out shoe. His new bride, determined to eliminate the female lead and prevent future trouble, pushed Zhao Lili into a desperate corner. But Zhao Lili fought back, carefully plotting every move until the scoundrel and his new wife had no room to breathe. Then there was Chu Xiao, her fiancé, who had waited fifteen years for her. He stepped in decisively, unleashing a thunderous revenge on the scoundrel and cutting off every path forward. Invited to the palace, the scoundrel watched with his own eyes as his former wife, whom he had once cast aside, appeared in a commandery princess’s court robes and was personally honored by the emperor. He regretted it until his heart broke, but he would never rise again.
