Why Do All My Husband's Colleagues Like Me?

Ling Chuyan was a concubine-born daughter of a fourth-rank official. On the day she married Xu Congheng, the most eligible bachelor in the capital, everyone envied her life.

Her husband was aloof and noble, yet with her alone he was tender, considerate, and attentive. After their marriage, Ling Chuyan fell under the spell of his kindness, gradually lowered her guard, and planned to spend the rest of her life happily with him.

But one day, she discovered that she was merely a stand-in for his beloved cousin, and that he had been secretly mixing contraceptive medicine into her meals every day.

She couldn't believe it, but when his beloved cousin returned, everything suddenly made sense.

Despite everyone's attempts to dissuade her, she resolutely asked for a divorce.

She never expected that after the divorce, one man after another would...

When Xu Congheng got married, all his friends and colleagues wondered what kind of woman could have made him forget his little cousin.

When they later met Ling Chuyan, they finally understood: she looked seven parts like her.

P.S.

Xu Congheng gets the full crematorium treatment, right down to scattering his ashes.

We don't take men with baggage around here.

The male supporting characters' attitudes toward the heroine:
