My Husband, Who Died in Battle, Has Returned

She transmigrated to ancient times in the midst of war.

With no other choice, Chang Ling married the tall, silent man from the neighboring village.

Although it was a marriage arranged without their knowing each other, the man was strong and capable, able to handle everything around the house and beyond. Aside from the nights being a little exhausting, their life together was fairly harmonious.

But their good days didn't last. The man was conscripted.

Chang Ling had no choice but to hold the family together in his place, care for her sickly, sharp-tongued mother-in-law, put up with harassment from her uncles, and look after his younger siblings.

Five years passed like this. Little by little, life got back on track. She saved enough money to open her own shop, and found a new love.

The man came back as a great general.

He came back with divorce papers.

Chang Ling had planned to part on good terms. She smiled faintly, tore up the freshly written divorce papers, and flung them in his face.

Not a chance.

She might not be happy, but she wasn't going to let him live happily either.

The man was an ordinary farmer, nothing special apart from his strength.

The village beauty next door was bright and lovely, and families from all around wanted her hand. But war let him get lucky and marry her.

He did everything he could to give her the best, but in the end, he had no choice but to leave her.

He fought desperately on the battlefield, clinging to the hope of returning to her, only to see his beloved little wife dressed in peach-pink, holding a book and smiling like a flower at a scholar.

Black as iron and covered in scars, the man felt unworthy of her.

That night, he snapped the peach tree at the head of the village. In the end, he gritted his teeth and wrote out the divorce papers, intending to set her free. But she slapped him hard and pushed him down onto the bed, where she "humiliated" him.

His eyes lit up. This kind of thing is allowed?
