Chu Ke always thought her marriage was happy and everything in her life was going smoothly. Then one day, her husband Shen Tingquan, who had always treated her with tenderness and care, told her guiltily, "I'm sorry. I married the wrong person. Now I have to use you to trade for her."
So she was exchanged for a notorious husband with a cold, ruthless heart, then tossed into a filthy pit to live alone, on the verge of being divorced.
Chu Ke was quite satisfied. So what if her husband had no prospects and was a dissolute playboy? As long as he stayed out of her room, she could ignore him and enjoy some peace.
How could anyone be so depressed they couldn't go on living when they didn't have to manage the household or serve their parents-in-law and younger brothers-in-law?
With a huge dowry in hand, where couldn't she live happily after being divorced? So she patiently waited for the divorce papers to be slapped in her face. Three days, five days, one month, two months...
Later, her ex-husband Shen Tingquan said, "Chu Ke, you've suffered. I won't look down on you for losing your virtue. Come home."
The ruthless Regent held Chu Ke's hand and smiled faintly. "Lord Shen, please stand farther away, lest my princess consort's morning sickness soil your shoes."
