[I've decided to close the comments section. If you're reading this later, don't worry, I haven't done anything wrong. You can also check the ratings section.]
Here's why:
I closed the comments because I couldn't take the constant taunts and harassment from one reader on this story. I don't know what I did to offend you. You haven't even paid me a cent, but you keep insulting me in the free chapters. I don't want to give you a place to berate me for no reason. I'm also serializing a second story, and to keep myself from falling apart, I've decided to close the comments.
[Story blurb]
The Ninth Princess, Jiang Lanya, loves Xiao Mengjin.
Two years into their marriage, the princess was wed to a rising general. Everyone said they were a perfect match and envied their marriage.
Only Jiang Lanya knew that Xiao Mengjin had been forced to marry her. He had never had eyes for her.
He never touched the pastries she sent him, and he never wore the clothes she mended for him. Xiao Mengjin had never felt the affection of a husband for her, only wariness and distance.
Jiang Lanya always thought that one day she could warm his cold heart. It was only when the divorce agreement arrived that she understood love could not be forced.
She accepted the agreement without hesitation and left without looking back.
*
Xiao Mengjin thought that without Jiang Lanya, he would be happy to have one less obstacle on his path to revenge. But after she left, he never slept well again.
He missed her warm embrace, but he could never feel it again.
Four years later, Xiao Mengjin finally found the figure he had yearned for. But the woman he had longed for no longer had any place for him in her eyes, and there was a three- or four-year-old child beside her, gazing up at her with big, round eyes and calling, "Mama."
At the sight, Xiao Mengjin's heart seized, and he crushed the teacup in his hand.
[Reading notes]
1. A melodramatic, cliched story about chasing your wife to the crematorium, with a running-away-while-pregnant plot.
2. This is a 1v1 story with both leads' first times, and it has a happy ending.
Theme: Love yourself first, then love others
