She Became the Villainess's Wife After Their Divorce

At sixteen, Tang Yunshu followed her parents' arrangements and married the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, a family of equal standing. After the wedding, her parents-in-law treated her with affection, and her husband cherished her. A year later, she gave birth to their eldest legitimate son. Tang Yunshu's life was as beautiful and happy as her name. That was until her husband returned from a campaign with a woman in tow. She was strikingly beautiful and delicate, and called Tang Yunshu "Sister" at their very first meeting. At first, she was only staying at their home because she was the daughter of her husband's benefactor and had no one to look after her. Tang Yunshu believed him, and personally saw to all her food, clothing, and lodging, never neglecting her. Then Tang Yunshu found the two of them coming out of the same room. He explained that he'd had too much to drink. She let it go and took the initiative to give the woman a formal status. Later, when a princess sought a husband, he said he needed to marry her to win the emperor's trust. Tang Yunshu accepted it. She went from being his principal wife to a co-wife, living an awkward existence in the Duke's household. From the woman envied by everyone in the capital to the subject of gossip in every street and alley, Tang Yunshu asked herself whether she had ever wronged anyone. Sadly, her patience and virtue earned her no gratitude, only one act of audacity and cruelty after another. Once a gentle person makes up her mind, no one can talk her out of it. Let them see that women may be the softest and most fragile in the world, but they can also be the most resilient and ruthless. With a divorce agreement, she asked to be released from the marriage and once again became the talk of the capital. Others could argue over right and wrong; all she cared about was finding her lost son... She had thought her journey would be a solitary one, but somehow a talkative man appeared, chattering in her ear all day long. He annoyed her so much that she gave up traveling and let him trick her into going home with him. Only in the end did she understand: she hadn't fought because she didn't love him. P.S. The more frustrating the first half, the more satisfying the second.
