But when his beloved friend was besieged by enemy forces, he abandoned her, who was pregnant with their second child, causing her to suffer a premature and difficult labor. After being reborn, Shen Shuyi looked at her eldest son, who was already crawling on the floor, and felt like crying. So be it, she couldn't get a divorce anyway. As long as she kept her heart focused, what life wouldn't end well? Unrequited love should be withdrawn. After Song Hengyue missed his son's first birthday party, his wife had a fight with him, and they parted on bad terms. Until one day, he overheard his mother talking to his wife. "Shuyi, not all feelings are important, and love isn't important. You will always be the Crown Princess of Qing, and the future Princess of Qing. Your son will be the heir to this royal family." His wife, hearing this, brightened up and smiled radiantly. "Your daughter-in-law has learned her lesson, Mother, please rest assured. I have settled down. From now on, he is the Heir Apparent of Prince Qing, and I am the Heir Apparent's Consort." Song Hengyue watched helplessly as the two people, who were as close as mother and daughter, discovered him but didn't take him seriously. His heart turned cold. Only then did he realize that his wife's feelings for him had long since vanished. He was filled with panic and began his long journey to win back his wife.

The creditor chased after her, and she paid off 500,000 yuan within three days. As his maid, even cutting grapes took her so long. She had to ask for leave to be a maid; who knows if she was out fooling around? She couldn't afford to sell herself for 600,000 yuan a night.

    I highly recommend this book. The male lead was tricked by his grandfather into getting a fake marriage certificate with the female lead. The day after the wedding, he left the country. The female lead went into premature labor and lost her baby (actually, the male lead took her abroad for medical treatment). Four years later, the male lead returned to China, and rumors about him and the female supporting character were rampant. The female lead unexpectedly discovered that the marriage certificate was fake and chose to leave. The male lead began frantically searching for her, but when they met again, she had already registered her marriage with someone else, thus beginning a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" ordeal. Of course, the male lead brought it all on himself; he was too talkative and arrogant, so chasing after his wife was what he deserved. [Laughs]

"Fine," the man said dismissively, "Then I won't go anymore." Lu Ying: "I'll leave with nothing."

    For three years of marriage, Gu Xingzhou had never touched me. Our marriage was a business arrangement, each of us getting what we needed; I thought that was all. It wasn't until his beloved Shen Ruotang divorced and returned to China that I realized he wasn't indifferent; he simply reserved all his tenderness for someone else. He would go out with her late at night, returning in the early hours, smelling an unfamiliar perfume, and his gaze towards me was always distant and polite. I endured it for three years, until the diagnosis of depression was placed before me, and finally, I decided to stop. On the day the divorce papers were signed, I moved the potted plant he had given to Shen Ruotang back to my room. I had bought it when we were newlyweds; Shen Ruotang said she liked it, so I gave it to her. Later, with red eyes, he asked me why I didn't want him anymore.
