    "Shen Ziqing." "Let's get a divorce." Tong Jiaojiao looked at the cold-faced man standing before her, her heart completely calm. In her past life, her father entrusted her to Shen Ziqing before his death, but the day after they registered their marriage, he went on a mission and was gone for three years. For three years, her husband had been nowhere to be heard from. Her relatives would come to harass her every few days and even seize her land. The long-term bullying led to her mental breakdown. The only belief she could hold onto was that Shen Ziqing would come back to avenge her and take back all the family property her father had left her. She waited and waited, and Shen Ziqing did return, but his first words upon seeing her were about divorce. At that time, her mental state was terrible; she could even be said to be on the verge of collapse. Hearing that her long-held belief was about to leave her, all the suppressed emotions instantly exploded. Shen Ziqing noticed that her condition was not right and didn't mention it again. He took her back to Beijing to meet his parents and even brought her to his military base to live with him. But although she was there, she was alone in the empty room, still living a life without a husband. She wanted to know why, why he was treating her like this. Later, Shen Ziqing's grandfather was so angered by her that he was hospitalized and almost died, and she also injured the daughter of a military commander. Enraged, Shen Ziqing immediately filed for divorce, which was finalized the next day. At that time, the ten-year reform movement had just begun, a period of severe crackdown. Being from a capitalist family, and with the commander's influence, she was sent to the remote Northwest for "re-education" that very night. She spent her life in that desolate land.

    Reader note

    The first book features two classmates who were both married. The male lead falls deeply in love with the female lead and becomes devoted to her. The second book has a second-time husband with a child, and the female lead is a teacher he specifically chose for his son [smirk]. His marriage to his ex-wife was purely a family arrangement; neither had any feelings for the other. He also gets cheated on. The third book is about a mafia boss and a naive beauty. While not exactly chaste, the female lead makes him a paragon of male virtue [facepalm]. Plus, the male lead is incredibly smooth-talking [laughs].
