   🍀Three years into their marriage, Su Man filed for divorce. She admitted that she had gotten the better deal in this marriage. She had gone from rags to riches. That's why Lu Jiushu disliked her and couldn't wait to leave her. She was human, not made of iron; this loveless marriage had exhausted her. But during the cooling-off period: the man who never came home started returning every day. And every day he dressed up like a peacock. In the kitchen, the man was learning to cook, making a racket. He even took it upon himself to get her favorite Samoyed puppy. She watched quietly. When the cooling-off period ended, the man was either sick or had an urgent business trip. Su Man looked at the repeatedly postponed divorce date: ? Finally, the day arrived when there were no excuses. Everyone thought Lu Jiushu loved someone else, but he had only ever been in love with one person. The strongest king lost miserably. Lu Jiushu, the second son of the Lu family, was gentle and polite to the outside, but in reality, he was mean, cold, selfish, and dark. In his eyes, Su Man was greedy for wealth and status, empty-headed, and utterly inept at all arts and crafts. She was vulgar and utterly unworthy of respect. Her mere pretense was not worth cherishing. That's why he was ultimately heartbroken. Upon reflection, after three years of marriage, he realized she wasn't entirely without flaws—his favoritism, the pride in her eyes, her protectiveness, her indulgence.
