   [Regret, irony, betrayed affection, and a desperate attempt to win back her ex-husband] He was unromantic, only good at reasoning; he wasn't rich enough, nor handsome enough. I disliked his lack of charm and desperately wanted a divorce to find my other brothers, Zhang, Li, and Wang. After the divorce, I discovered—Zhang only wanted casual sex, Li just wanted to play around, and Wang was married with a child. I owed over 100,000 yuan on my credit cards, and no one would bail me out. I went back to my ex-husband to remarry, thinking he was waiting for me. But he was holding another girl's hand and said calmly, "I just don't love you anymore." At that moment, I understood—the blessings I lost through my own actions couldn't be regained, no matter how much I begged.
