I Dumped My Heartless Ex and Married a Head Officer for the First Time

[Period Drama] [The Husband's Long Road to Winning Her Back] [Military Marriage] [Marriage Before Love] [Second Male Lead Takes the Lead]

Ning Zhiyi had enjoyed twenty years of smooth sailing, but her family fell on hard times because of her father's identity, and her mother was in poor health.

Faced with this sudden crisis, she had a hard time making ends meet just after graduating from college, so she turned to her childhood betrothal for help.

Shen Tingbai had initially agreed to help, but after meeting her, he agreed to honor the betrothal instead.

For two years of marriage, Ning Zhiyi devoted herself to her duties and did everything she could for Shen Tingbai, never minding his cold treatment.

To outsiders, Shen Tingbai was an engineer at a factory, with an excellent family background, good looks, and an impressive education.

Everyone said Ning Zhiyi's father had been far-sighted, arranging such a good match for her early. Without Shen Tingbai, who knew where mother and daughter would be working away in some backwater village?

At first, Ning Zhiyi thought so too, so she didn't mind when her husband showed tenderness toward his childhood sweetheart.

She thought she would grow numb after enduring enough hurt, but once it had built up enough, it finally erupted.

Facing her outstanding husband, she chose divorce and took her mother to live in a small city.

Shen Tingbai didn't take it seriously and readily agreed to the divorce. He assumed she was just throwing a tantrum and would come back begging him after experiencing life the hard way.

Only later did he realize that he was the one who couldn't let go of the marriage. But by then, it was too late: Ning Zhiyi had married Lu Yanzhou, the son of another family in the compound.
