    Reader note

    My husband's childhood sweetheart, Jiang Ruoyu, committed suicide because I called her a shameless mistress. To stand up for Jiang Ruoyu, Huo Qingzhou pushed me, who was pregnant, to the ground, causing me to hit my head. I was in a coma in the hospital for several days before waking up. When I opened my eyes, my husband, Huo Qingzhou, came to the hospital room with a lawyer and handed me a divorce agreement. I looked at the aggressive, murderous stranger and asked, "Who are you?" I had amnesia; I remembered everyone except Huo Qingzhou, whom I had fawned over for six years.
