Your Significant Other Is Gone

Walking down the street when a kid falls from the sky.

Xia Chaonuan had an ice cream in each hand when a little kid suddenly appeared by the roadside, wrapped his arms around her leg, and called out, "Mom!"

????!!!!

After the initial shock, she thought back over her life as a twenty-four-year-old who had been single since birth. She was sure she had no missing memories, had never had a boyfriend, and had never done anything like abandon a husband and child.

So was this kid trying to scam her? Had he got his eye on her ice cream?

"Mom!"

Looking at the little kid his own father had dumped on her, Xia Chaonuan said expressionlessly, "Don't call me Mom. Call me Big Sis."

"But then you'd be a generation younger than Dad!" His sweet little voice carried a hint of distress.

Xia Chaonuan... "Then call me Grandma!"

The day before, she was a young woman getting on in years, worrying about making ends meet and running around just to get by. The next day, a domineering CEO dropped out of the sky with a little dumpling in tow, claiming they were family.

Who could have guessed she had a past full of every melodramatic trope under the sun, from the substitute lover and amnesia to having a child out of wedlock?!

Faced with such a wonderful windfall from the heavens, of course she couldn't accept it!

Tropes: The male lead chases his wife after driving her away
