Three Years After the Divorce

Spoiled Noblewoman x Aloof Beauty

Su Chan was born into an eminent family, spoiled and dazzling.

One day, while hunting in the mountains, she spotted a minor official from the capital. His arms were red from the sun as he set down the household register he had been recording, then went to help a poor family work their fields.

The official was named Rong Yunqing. Born to a poor scholarly family, he had nothing but the four walls of his home, and a pair of cool, handsome eyes beneath fine brows. His beauty was as pure as snow and plum blossoms.

Su Chan fell for his looks and eventually deliberately used the excuse that she had fallen into the water and been accosted to force him into marrying her.

The incident brought shame on the Su family. They resented their son-in-law, Rong Yunqing, for his base and shameless behavior, and nearly disowned Su Chan.

After they married, Rong Yunqing was low-ranking and had little influence. His upright nature and inflexibility also made him an easy target for factional persecution, and he was sent to serve as an official in Shanyang.

Although Su Chan was reluctant to leave her family, she had no choice but to follow her husband to his post.

Those years in distant Shanyang were a nightmare for Su Chan.

Without fine clothes and rich food, she finally learned the hardships of marrying beneath her station.

Rong Yunqing's salary was meager. Though he did his best to provide for his wife, it was still never enough to satisfy Su Chan.

Su Chan was fed up with having only a few hairpins to rotate and getting new clothes only once every six months. After three years of marriage, she seemed to have tired of Rong Yunqing's handsome face, too.

“I want to go back to my family. I want a divorce.”

When Su Chan brought it up, Rong Yunqing only paused in surprise before quietly agreeing.

In the three years after their divorce, Su Chan returned to her pampered life of luxury and soon forgot all about Rong Yunqing.

Until one day, in the struggle for imperial power, the Su family backed the wrong side. The whole clan suffered and was stripped of its status.

Su Chan fell into ruin. Not only were her ornaments and fine clothes gone, even her home was confiscated by the authorities.

The Su family scattered, and with nowhere to go, Su Chan finally thought of her former husband, Rong Yunqing, who had risen to the highest ranks of the court.

That night, Su Chan pinned on the plumwood hairpin her former husband had carved by hand and arrived at his door with a charming smile.

“Rong Yunqing, I have nowhere to go... Could I stay at your home for a while?”

Rong Yunqing stood tall and elegant, gazing quietly at his former wife.

Just as before, he considered it for a moment, then answered softly, “All right.”
