Chen Yuwen was reborn, opening her eyes to find herself back in 1997.

She had just been abused by her husband and was crying all alone.

In her previous life, she endured it time and again, swallowing all her tears and pain.

She told herself that keeping the family together would bring harmony, but all she got in return was a husband whose violence grew ever more unchecked, and a daughter who became sensitive and insecure.

It wasn't until her daughter sobbed and cried out, "Do you have to be beaten to death before you'll agree to get a divorce?!" that Chen Yuwen finally understood and got divorced.

It turned out that getting divorced wouldn't kill her. Raising her daughter on her own, she started with a bankrupt factory, built a business from nothing in the 1990s, and rose to the pinnacle of wealth.

Reborn in this life, she would divorce him at once, make her abusive husband pay, and pamper her daughter like a princess.

There was no way she would ever again have to ask someone for money just to buy a handful of greens!

When Chen Yuwen first got divorced, everyone back in her hometown laughed that she'd been dumped by her husband with his iron rice bowl job, and waited to see her and her daughter go hungry.

When she bought her first house, they all said she was just putting on a brave face, and waited for her to go bankrupt.

But then she started a company, bought luxury cars, and moved into a villa by the sea... The people waiting for a laugh at her expense were thoroughly humiliated. Weren't discarded wives supposed to end up miserable?!

Both daughters were baffled. "Mom pampered us like princesses from the time we were little. We've never suffered at all."

Coming soon: the historical romance The Crown Prince Is My Former Lover, a second-chance romance in which the male lead is reborn and keeps winning himself over. Visit my author page to add it to your collection:

In the sixteenth year of Chengping, the Prince of Chu raised an army and seized the throne with the force of a thunderbolt.

The Crown Prince ruled with an iron fist and crushed a host of rebellious traitors. For a time, the officials of the capital lived in fear.

As the dynasty changed and everyone feared for their lives, the young lady who lived as a dependent in the Earl of Yong'an's residence grew uneasy too.

It was for one reason only: this Crown Prince, who had fought his way back through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was the former lover she had cruelly abandoned.

Before he left for the battlefields of the northern desert, knowing full well that he might not return alive, the heroine turned away and refused to look at him.

"From now on, we need never see each other again."

They held hands and gazed at each other through tears, only for it to become a final farewell. The young man's overflowing love turned to hatred. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said just one word:

"Fine."

When they met again, the palace was vast and imposing. She was still an orphan with no one to rely on, while he had become the Crown Prince, second only to the emperor and above all others. The Outcast.

Her former lover had become brooding and coldhearted. He slowly descended the steps and merely tapped her chin.

"If you had left me even the slightest room back then, how could I have failed to remember our past?"
