After the Divorce

Ming Tang transmigrated into the past before she was born. The rules of her aristocratic family were strict, and Ming Tang had no desire to fight against the world. She grew up without a hitch, and by eighteen, she was beautiful, refined, and elegant. Her parents married her off to her childhood sweetheart. They got along well and their household prospered, but after three years without a child, her childhood sweetheart wanted to take a concubine, and her mother-in-law wanted a grandchild. Ming Tang didn't bat an eyelid. She agreed to it all, then turned around and divorced him. As if! I married you to live a comfortable life, not to help you enjoy a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine. Let me see whether your lives really get better once you get what you wanted. * Divorce was uncommon in the Great Xia Dynasty. When the youngest daughter of the Ming family returned home after divorcing her husband for failing to bear a child after three years of marriage, she instantly became the talk of the capital. Her humiliated ex-husband gritted his teeth. “Let's see what she does now that she's divorced.” What he didn't know was that Ming Tang was quite tempted by the terms offered by the heir of the Duke of Dingguo. His mother wouldn't interfere, and she'd be in charge of the household as soon as she married in. Her late elder brother had left behind an orphan, so there was no pressure to have children. The Duke's estate had plenty of businesses, and she could spend as she pleased. By any measure, it was a deal she couldn't lose. #The heroine isn't a virgin, the hero is #A slice-of-life story overall Please check out my upcoming novel, The Cousin Lady's Life: a lighthearted slice-of-life story full of family affairs.
