My Wife Always Wants a Divorce

Mature Man and Woman | The Husband's Road to Winning Her Back

An intensely controlling, arrogant daddy vs. a free-spirited, irresistible mommy

Qin Mian has been married for twenty years. Her husband, Zhuang Tingyun, has a thriving career, and their son, Zhuang Mo, is filial and gentle. Their family is harmonious, the kind of model household many in elite circles envy.

A life like this can smooth away anyone's rough edges. Even Qin Mian, once wild and unruly in her youth, has become an elegant, refined society wife.

Until one day, Zhuang Mo brings home a delicate, innocent-looking woman as his bride. The two are all over each other, swearing eternal love to Qin Mian and declaring that they want no one else.

She simply lets them move in, planning to discuss what to do with her husband when she gets the chance.

But that night, Qin Mian looks at the empty space beside her. Her phone shows a message from Zhuang Tingyun saying he'll be away on a business trip for half a month, while the sounds of the young couple's lovemaking drift in from next door.

By comparison, she feels inexplicably restless, and a distaste for her life as it is rises within her.

As the wife of a wealthy family, Qin Mian is elegant and gracious. Even though she is married, and her son is old enough to be discussing marriage, countless young men still compete to win her attention.

After word gets out that she may be considering divorce, things only grow more intense.

These men arrive full of anticipation at a VIP room in a well-known club, only to find a gorgeous, captivating woman there, along with a man sitting in the shadows.

Zhuang Tingyun considers himself a successful man with a happy family. But while away on business, he receives a message from his wife saying that she has decided to move out for a while.

At first, he doesn't think much of it. Then someone tells him they saw Mrs. Zhuang at a famous club.

He keeps shortening his business trip until he finally hurries back, only to find his wife sitting there with a glass of wine in her hand.

Before her is a line of young, handsome, well-behaved men.

Afterward, Zhuang Tingyun holds the languid woman in his arms, his long fingers toying with her beautifully cared-for hair, his expression satisfied.

Beneath the hair, in a spot partly hidden from view, are marks he deliberately left. Everything that just happened proves that he and his wife are perfectly in sync in every way.

Feeling certain of his position, he finally says, as if granting her a favor, "At the moment, I think I understand you better than those men do."

"So cut ties with them, and we'll remain the model family everyone envies."

Qin Mian breaks free from his grasp and turns away to get dressed.

A rose has quietly bloomed at the small of her back.

"Sorry, but I'm tired of this monotonous life."
