After the Divorce, I Became the Light He Could Never Reach

A three-year contract, and she’s done playing the substitute.

Shen Mianyi loved Gu Beiting for ten years, only to receive a cold agreement in return. On the night of their third wedding anniversary, she saw him in the news accompanying his one true love as she picked out jewelry. At last, she smiled and handed him the divorce papers. “The three years are up. It’s time for me to go.”

He signed with a sneer, convinced she was just playing hard to get.

It wasn’t until the empty room held nothing but seventeen notes filled with care, and he found the diary where she had recorded her secret crush for ten years, that he realized the woman he had treated as a “commodity” had long since become part of every corner of his life.

Meanwhile, she settled in Dali with her genius son, became a celebrated music therapist, and had her devoted senior, Fu Hanzhou, gently watching over her.

When the adorable boy plays an angry tune in court, when his one true love reveals her vicious true colors, and when a paternity test uncovers a shocking secret about his birth, the once all-powerful man finally loses his mind.

He crouches outside a kindergarten, begging his son to look at him. His handwritten love letters end up in the trash, and when he rents out a flower shop, she mocks him in front of everyone. The once-arrogant president of the Gu Group kneels in the rain, eyes red, begging her to come back.

“Shen Mianyi, no contract, no deal. I just love you. Can you give me a chance?”

This time, he’ll be the one brought to his knees, and she’ll be the one who decides how it ends.
