Li Changying has a prophetic dream: her husband is faking illness so he can sneak off for an affair, and he even hopes she'll offer to become his concubine!
She wakes with a start. Her scumbag husband is about to leave for the provincial capital again, so she turns and writes a letter to her adoptive brother, Zhan Yu.
[My husband is about to die. Brother, will you help me divorce him?]
Zhan Yu receives the letter and rushes back overnight.
Her scumbag husband wants to run off with his lover and live happily ever after? Dream on!
And as for the adoptive brother who has been sternly lecturing her on propriety since she was a child...
Why is he in such a hurry to claim his place now that she's only just divorced?
