After Divorcing My Powerful Wife

The Xia family is one of Jiangcheng's most powerful and wealthy families, with an exalted status. Xia Mian is the youngest child, doted on by her two older sisters. She has a comfortable, happy life and has no need for a business marriage.

But after seeing Wen Yiqing's face, Xia Mian, a hopeless beauty enthusiast, changes her mind.

A business marriage? This is clearly a match made in heaven!

For the first two years of their marriage, Xia Mian is so dazzled by her wife's face that she puts on a sweet, virtuous act, becoming one half of the loving couple everyone admires.

In the third year, Xia Mian starts to feel bored.

Wen Yiqing has too many rules. She's older than Xia Mian, and she's old-fashioned and rigid.

You're not allowed to talk during meals, and there's a curfew.

Even the intensity and positions in bed are prescribed.

No matter how much she loves that face, Xia Mian can't keep up the act any longer.

She decides to run away.

Wen Yiqing has received an elite education since childhood. She's used to planning everything in advance and keeping it all under control.

At 16, she skips grades and earns admission to a top overseas business school. At 21, she graduates with a doctorate and takes over the company, becoming the undisputed head of the third generation of the Wen family. At 22, she appears on the cover of a business magazine and is hailed as the youngest rising star in the business world.

She is powerful and influential, without a single blemish on her record. Her life has always gone smoothly.

According to plan, she got married at 25.

Her wife is beautiful and well-behaved. Though a little young and prone to acting spoiled, they come from equal backgrounds, and their sex life is harmonious.

In the third year of their marriage, following the wishes of her elders, she wants to have a child together with her wife.

After a tender moment, before she can say a word,

her young wife hands her divorce papers.

-

Their perfect marriage has gone off course.

One option is to correct it.

The other is to give it up.

For her wife, Wen Yiqing summons a little more patience and decides to tolerate her childishness and caprices.

But Xia Mian is determined.

She even moves out of their marital home.

When the trouble outweighs the benefits, Wen Yiqing agrees to divorce.

She doesn't take the matter to heart, either.

It was only a marriage alliance. She can simply find someone else.

One day,

after finishing a business meeting, her gaze drifts to the window.

Her young wife, smiling brightly and dressed in a way completely unlike her usual style, walks into a hotel with a pretty stranger.

Wen Yiqing's gaze tightens.
