In the Middle of a Divorce, the System Threw Out My Back

I really can't keep writing this story, so I'm preparing to put it behind a paywall. Don't buy it, sorry.

Newlyweds beat each other up on their wedding night #

On their wedding night, Chen Ruyi gives Ji Yicheng two black eyes, while he leaves her with both arms in slings.

After their wedding-night brawl, the couple both demand a divorce.

But just as the divorce papers take effect, Chen Ruyi receives her long-awaited golden finger: Ding! The Survival System is now online!

[Target locked. Host, your life expectancy is down to ten days. Complete missions to extend your lifespan and do your best to survive!]

Chen Ruyi: "..."

The bad news: the fortune-teller's prediction was true. She really won't live past twenty-five!

The good news: this System really does grant extra years for completing missions!

Main mission: Make him fall in love with you, then break his heart.

Side mission one: Help him change clothes, then feel his abs.

Side mission two: Give him a lower-back massage in the carriage.

Side mission three: Help him bathe in the hot spring at midnight until you're parched, but don't go any further.

Side mission four: Kiss his ear, but don't do anything else.

Side mission X: Role-play outdoors, acting flustered, playing hard to get, and forcing a romance.

Chen Ruyi: "...Are you even a proper System?"

The System said nothing and tossed out a begonia flower.

Faced with the temptation of extra years offered by the System, Chen Ruyi steeled herself, gritted her teeth, and pounced on her walking source of extra life. "I might have a little something I'd like you to help me with."

Ji Yicheng was caught in her arms. "...All right."

With his cooperation, the bed was broken, the blankets were ruined, and clothes lay in shreds across the floor.

But just as the main mission was making no progress and the side missions were getting wild in bed, Chen Ruyi was suddenly notified: [Because the Host has become obsessed with side missions, the System will disable them. Please keep working hard and strive to live to a ripe old age!]

Chen Ruyi: "..."

Damn it! She'd saved up 800 days of extra life from the side missions!

Now that the side missions were disabled, she had to finish the main mission within 800 days!

Jiang Shiyu thinks she has the worst luck imaginable. She finally gets into college at eighteen, only to be hit by a car on her way to register.

The good news is that she transmigrates and marries Gu Qinghuai, the younger brother of the Crown Princess's husband.

The bad news is that she has transmigrated into a male power fantasy, and its protagonist is the Third Prince, the next in line for the throne.

Her new husband will commit every evil under the sun alongside the Crown Prince and persecute loyal officials. After the Crown Prince dies suddenly and the Third Prince takes the throne, he will be sentenced to exile and die on the way there.

Faced with such a disastrous start, Jiang Shiyu refuses to give up. She tries every way she can think of to get a divorce, but none of them work.

Frustrated, she decides to go out and clear her head, only to be harassed by the drunken Crown Prince.

After escaping his clutches, she tumbles down a hillside and is rescued by a man wearing a silver mask who calls himself Wuming.

A silver mask...

Jiang Shiyu's eyes light up: the Third Prince's savior in the book is called Wuming!

To escape being exiled with her husband, Jiang Shiyu casts aside her dignity and keeps arranging chance encounters with Wuming, doing everything she can to "cheat on" Gu Qinghuai right in front of him, just waiting for him to lose patience and divorce her.

*

Ever since his older sister was tortured to death, Gu Qinghuai has surrendered his military authority and become the Marquis of Zhenbei, a man who does every evil imaginable.

In secret, he has pledged himself to the Third Prince and saved countless loyal officials from persecution.

All he wants is to personally avenge himself once the Third Prince takes the throne.

But after one banquet, he finds himself with a wife, and she has been unfaithful.

And the person she cheated with...is him.
