Rumor has it that the head of the Xie family has always kept a low profile and never appeared in public. Almost no one in Lin City has seen his face. They say he’s old-fashioned, cold, dispassionate, and uninterested in women, with a terribly dull personality.
Tan Jin’s father died young, and her mother remarried. At sixteen, she was taken in by the Xie family, where Xie Sunzhi looked after her. By seniority, Tan Jin was supposed to call him Uncle.
When she was twenty, an accident led to her marrying Xie Sunzhi. After the wedding, in the calmest voice, he said the two cruelest things to her:
“Tan Jin, you’ve crossed the line.”
“I can only ever be your elder. I hope this is the last time I hear you call yourself my wife.”
Her girlish feelings were crushed, but she still refused to learn her lesson.
Then one day, a friend was surprised to find that, for once, she wasn’t talking about Xie Sunzhi nonstop.
Avoiding her friend’s curious gaze, Tan Jin had long since packed her bags and was ready to leave at a moment’s notice. After all, Xie Sunzhi had never loved her.
They had been husband and wife, so they might as well part on good terms. But when no word of a divorce came, Tan Jin grew impatient. She had someone draw up the divorce papers, signed them, and asked her assistant to deliver them to him.
That night, after the papers were sent, the bedroom in the main residence was pitch-black, and the temperature climbed by the minute. The usually composed and proper man trapped her between the desk and himself. Beads of scorching sweat fell, making her shiver from head to toe until she could barely speak.
“Divorce? I didn’t hear you. Say it again.”
