[Easygoing heiress x says one thing but means another]
Shi Yao had a dream.
In it, she was not only a fake heiress from a wealthy family, but also a truly spoiled and difficult supporting character.
To frame the real heiress, she made trouble at every turn and committed every kind of evil, until everyone turned against her.
Even after all the terrible things she had done, the only one who hadn’t abandoned her was her wealthy husband, whom she’d married in an arranged alliance. He still kept a cold expression.
Afraid of losing her husband too, Shi Yao became obsessed with controlling Liang Xuyan. She practically wanted to monitor his every move, terrified that he might leave her as well.
But in the end, she still managed to ruin everything for herself.
-
When she woke from the dream, Shi Yao came to her senses. She didn’t want that kind of ending!
She was kind and amiable to the real heiress, neither competing nor vying for attention.
She stopped looking down on her biological parents and tried her best to be a good daughter to her ordinary family.
Finally, when it came to her husband, Liang Xuyan, she changed her ways. She stopped obsessively checking up on him, stopped bossing him around, and stopped insisting that he fulfill his marital duties. She was ready to divorce at any time.
So why was this man looking at her more and more strangely?
-
One night, Shi Yao brought Liang Xuyan a divorce agreement she’d hidden in a drawer. “I know how difficult things are for you, and I know you didn’t truly want to marry me back then. We... should get divorced.”
Liang Xuyan stared at the agreement with feverish eyes and said in a trembling voice, “So you really are planning to leave me?”
Shi Yao: ?
Wasn’t he the one who wanted a divorce?
