After the Divorce, the Heir Regretted It Too Late

When she was very young, Zhou Wanning took a liking to Xie Ling, the heir to the marquis's household next door. As they grew up together, her feelings for him deepened.

As the war intensified in the years before, Xie Ling led his troops into battle and returned ill. So when her elder sister's marriage was switched to her, Zhou Wanning defied her aunt's objections and married into the marquis's household without hesitation.

At last, she had fulfilled her girlhood dream and become his wife.

But gradually, Zhou Wanning realized something was wrong.

Xie Ling was rough in bed and paid no heed to her feelings.

Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he always sided with his mother and told her to keep the peace.

He couldn't deal with the women around him, and instead accused her of being jealous.

He never took proper care of their child, always using his busy work schedule as an excuse.

How was he any different from the father she hated most?

Xie Ling had been a favored son of Heaven since childhood. When illness left him frail, he was shunned, and the Zhou family even switched his marriage.

After he had made a name for himself, his mother repeatedly urged him to marry someone of equal status. Meanwhile, his childhood sweetheart had fallen on hard times and become a widow, hoping to be his concubine. He was tempted, but turned her down.

But he never expected a letter of divorce to be thrown in front of him. The person who had always greeted him with a smile and obeyed his every wish now said calmly, "Marquis, let's divorce."

After the divorce, Zhou Wanning discovered that the world was vast and her days were her own. The only thing she missed was her child.

At first, the wet nurse brought the child to see her. Later, Xie Ling came too, time and again, asking only to see her once.
